Trully amazing location, it feels like the most luxurious summer house of your own!
Very close to the Kardamyli and Stoupa (a car is preferable) and so quite and beautiful!
The sea view from our balcony from the Senior Katoikia was stunning. We've loved he villa, so tastefully decorated, lots of effort for the details that matter!

Room Tip: You will enjoy stunning view from everywhere, just have a great camera with you!

We stayed in the VIP rooms for four days.
Sue, the resident caretaker/manager was a delight, informative and helped us enjoy our stay.
A car is an absolute must to get to and from Kardymyli/Stupa, indeed to see anything in and around the Mani region.
Getting to Katikies can be a bit tricky from Kadamyli the first time as (if you are not too sure exactly where it is located) it is approx' 4 kilometers from Kardamyli.
If you keep your eyes peeled to the side of the road, you will see a sign on the right side of the road indicating that Katikies is 200/300 meters away.
We were greeted with tasty cakes for breakfast and fruit and a bottle of local wine in the fridge, which was a nice touch.
We were impressed with the size (about 50 -60 meters) of the main living room. A definite WOW! It had a modern, spacious feel with the kithcen and fridge at the back of the room for cooking.
Clean linen,towels, slipper provided as well!
The real higlights were the quality matress: which ensured sound sleeping. A real welcomed bonus!
There is a path down to the "private" area down a small footpath, (to the right side of the rooms) with sundecks and a metal ladder to swim into the sea. The beach (on the left side of the location) is about a ten minute walk.
The Wifi internet connection worked perfectly the first day (without any need for passwords/codes) and on our last nmorning, but the reception was spasmodic and poor for a two days even with a "booster" device that Sue has had installed in the bedroom.
One "big" negative (considering the quality of the location) was a very small plasma TV screen. It does not do the location justice as it is located on the left side of the main entrance. It should be at least three or four times bigger and moved over above the fireplace, as I mentioned to Sue personally and we both agreed on this!
Trying to watch the DVD's that were provided was not enjoyable at all, as the images were so reduced in size.
Also disappointing was a lack of an intergrated sound system witth speakers connected to the DVD player.
I had to turn up the volume to 100 (honest!)- (I could not believe it myself) on the remote control to get any real audible sound from the screen (due to the lack of any speakers connected to the DVD player in the room) so If you do not plan to stay in and watch DVD's then you will enjoy the VIP rooms fully.
Watch out for the mosquitoes. Make sure you put the anti- mosquito devices on and if you go out, spray yourself with Autan or a suitable repellent. They bite!

Sill, this is a tranquil, peaceful setting for a very relaxing stay and we enjoyed the total silence early in the morning. The sunsets can be spectacular as well.
Not to be missed is the fishing port of Agios Nikolaos - (down the coast just past Stupa) in the evening. An absolute delight as we unexpectedly found out.

Very nice location and adorable house! You feel like you are at home (.......I wish my home was like this!).
We had Deluxe room with nice bedroom, bathroom with bathtub, a very wide living room/kitchen with sofa bed, and an impressive terrace facing the sea.
I would definitely recommend this place.
