Villa Vager Mani Hotel

Beautiful hotel and accommodation, very nice, sweet owners. Need to drive 5-10 min to the beach to find a choice of restaurants. The area surrounding the hotel is not so interesting

This year my family and I wanted to enjoy our holiday in Greece in a smaller hotel away from the usual tourist hotspots. Our choice was Vila Vager, perched on a hilltop with breathtaking views over the Messinian Gulf. The century-old stone-built house has a special flair, underlined by the tasteful interior design. Everything fits together. We chose to stay in the spacious Boho Suite on the top floor, accessible via a lovely terrace, where we were served our daily breakfast. Although Megali Mantineia is a really small village, it has three tavernas. We were lazy bones and just switched between two of them every day, enjoying delicious local specialities and Greek classics. Santova beach is only a 5 minute drive away (you will need a rental car to explore the Mani anyway). Last but not least, I would like to thank our friendly hosts for their recommendations for outdoor activities (Explore Messinia) and sightseeing. We all really loved the place!

Atmospheric traditional stone-built "tower", with spacious rooms, great views, delicious breakfast and very friendly owners. Located in a small, quiet village with just a few taverns hidden in its alleys, serving mouth-watering home-made local dishes. Far enough from noisy touristic spots yet close enough to Mani's beautiful beaches and mountains, as well as to Kalamata vibrant city. Great experience overall.
