Stone's Throw Cottage by the sea in Koroni - sleeps up to 6

Stone’s throw Cottage is located outside the town within a 30 minute walk of Koroni center, either along the beach or by road. Just 5 minutes or less by car.
The property is a safe, secluded haven, set amongst an olive grove with direct access to a peaceful, uncrowded beach.
The house is fully equipped to allow for a very comfortable and relaxing stay, putting guests in command of how much they interact with the local community.
The cottage is detached and can sleep up to 6 people using the bed/settee in the living area.
There is a bedroom with a large double bed with very comfortable mattress. A good sized wardrobe and cupboards and this bedroom has air/conditioning.
The slightly smaller bedroom has twin beds with a fan for coolness in the Summer months. Both bedrooms have sliding doors with insect screens leading onto the side balcony with steps down to the garden and beach.
There is a shower room with w.c., basin and shower where water is heated by a solar panel...also a washing machine for your use . All towels including beach towels are provided.
In the living/kitchen area is a bookcase with a good selection of books, some childrens books and colouring crayons. Also a modem with a good wifi connection.
There is a bed/settee with cushions, a table and chairs which can be moved onto the balcony if wished, a fridge/freezer, cooker with electric hob, marble sink with cold water only (hot water can be bought from the shower room), kettle, toaster and juicer.
Leading off the living room is a balcony with table and chairs, bed settee (lovely for that afternoon siesta) and glimpses of the sea just less than 1 minutes stroll away.
Out of the front door of the property down a few steps there is a terrace with a large table and 4 chairs, set underneath a grape vine and looking into the garden and olive grove. There is also an outdoor shower with cold water to wash the sand of your feet when coming back from the beach!
Go down to the wonderful Zaga beach, 2 sun beds are provided and an umbrella, turn left and wander along and into Koroni Centre, dipping your toes into the sea as you go! Along the way is a very nice beach cafe, open in the evenings in the Summer months, climb up from the beach then wander down the winding lanes into town, should you wish to take a taxi home there are several to be found in the town square by the big church, very cheap!
If you turn right when on the beach and wander along you will come across a lovely, family run restaurant named To Limanaki (little harbour), a wonderful place to experience authentic, greek cooking.
The town is also accessible by wandering back up to the lane that leads down to the property, turning right and following roads down into the centre. A short drive away.
Once in town, along the harbour are several restaurants and cafe/bars, always open late in the Summer season, one restaurant specializes in fish.
Sit here and enjoy the beautiful views of the Taygetos mountain range across the bay, the many sailing boats that come into the harbour and of course the fishing boats who sell freshly caught fish from the days catch.
On Sunday mornings early until around midday there is a good produce market next to the harbour, a good place to join friends for a coffee on a Sunday morning!
There are banks with ATMs in the street behind the harbourside, a small supermarket, gift shops, cafes, post office, wine shops and clothes shops, for a small town Koroni has a lot to offer.
Should you want to take a bus trip further afield, buses run from the town square by the big church daily into Kalamata, a vibrant town with a lovely old quarter, many shops and retaurants, museums and a wonderful, long sea front and harbour. Beware though last bus back to Koroni is 19.00 hrs.
So if it is a lovely, relaxing beach holiday your looking for then Stones Throw Cottage is the place to be.

Excellent beach location
The property is a beach cottage/chalet with everything you need, in an amazing location a few meters from the sandy beach. Excellent for swimming, and very quiet at the end of April. Unfortunately, it has not got much of a sea view as there is another small building between it and the sea. There is limited hot water if the sun doesn’t shine as it is solar only without electric back up. But overall a minor problem in this good value accommodation. You need a small rented car to get around . Not too big as track down is very narrow. It is a fair walk to Koroni as you need to go up and over the hill. Keeps you fit!

Die guten Zeiten dieses Hauses sind vorbei
Die Beschreibung des Hauses und der Umgebung gaukeln etwas vor, das längst nicht mehr so ist. Der Standort ist auf der Karte falsch eingezeichnet, Taxis weigern sich, das enge Strässchen zum Haus zu befahren, zu Fuss ist der Ort 40 Minuten von Koroni und dem nächsten Lebensmittelladen entfernt. Ungeeignet für Reisende ohne Auto. Meersicht ist praktisch zugebaut, es sind weder ein Sonnenschirm noch Liegestühle vorhanden, der ist Garten verwildert, die Küchen- und Badausstattung zum Teil ungepflegt / schmuddelig. Wir können dieses Objekt nicht weiterempfehlen.

Die besten Zeiten sind vorbei
Wir kannten das Haus und hatten uns darauf gefreut. Leider haben wir es in keinem guten Zustand vorgefunden. Es gab sehr viele Mängel, die uns während des Aufenthaltes einen ausführlichen E-Mail Schriftverkehr mit der Besitzerin kosteten, aber zu keinerlei Verbesserung führte. Die Ausstattung der Küche war mangelhaft (keine Weingläser, kaum Besteck u.a.). Eine Tür zum Balkon ließ sich nicht verschließen, eine zweite Schiebetür klemmte und ließ sich nicht mehr öffnen. Das Bad ist sehr in die Jahre gekommen, die Toilette lief aus (wir müssten täglich putzen) und leider waren Kakerlaken im Bad.(die mir beim Abtrocknern der Hände über die Finger liefen) Der Garten war ungepflegt, verwildert, es gab keinerlei Aussenbeleuchtung (auch kaputt) - der Weg zum Haus bei Dunkelheit ein Abenteuer. Zerbrochene, verostete Liegen und Sonnenschirme lagen als Müll herum, funktionierende gab es nicht. Die Besitzerin, die in Übersee lebt, hatte uns eine Rückerstattung versprochen, aber nicht eingehalten. Wir hätten gerne einen unbeschwerten Urlaub gehabt; so waren wir mit den Mängeln und dem unhygienischen Zustand des Bad beschäftigt, was unseren Aufenthalt sehr getrübt hat. Schade. Wir wünschen dem Haus, trotz unkulantem Verhalten der Besitzerin, eine gute Zukunft, denn es könnte ein toller Ort für einen schönen Urlaub sein.

2 settimane da sogno!
Posizione a due passi dalla spiaggia Casa pulita, ampia, luminosa e ben attrezzata. Accoglienza ottima anche se era già sera tardi. Piccolo disguido per 1 giorno, dove è mancata l'acqua per diverse ore. I proprietari avrebbero dovuto avvisarci e preoccuparsi dei nostri bisogni.

Traumhafter Strandurlaub
Hervorragende Kommunikation mit der Vermieterin Jina, alles hat super geklappt. Das Haus ist geräumig und hat alles was man braucht für einen erholsamen Urlaub, die Terassen sind groß und sehr schön, umgeben von vielen Pflanzen und Blumen, wunderschöne Schmetterlinge zu sehen. Man hört und sieht das Meer, 20 Schritte bis zum wunderschönen Naturstrand mit glasklarem Wasser, wir haben jede Minute genossen. Perfekt zum Entspannen.

Sehr erholsam
Ein sehr schöner Ort um erholsame Ferientage zu verbringen. Die Ausstattung des Hauses, die unmittelbare Nähe zum Strand sowie die ruhige Lage eignen sich perfekt zum Entspannen. Für Einkäufe kann man in ca 30 Minuten zu Fuß Koroni erreichen oder in wenigen Minuten mit dem Auto. Kommen gerne wieder.

A piece of paradise
The location is a dream. Quietness, really a few meters from sandy beach. You hear only birds and sounds of waves. The house is well equipped. Not very new equipment but everything you need. Welcoming was very kind. The very nice village and port is at 10 minutes by car.

Schönes, super ausgestattetes Haus am tollsten Strand!
Wir hatten eine wunderschöne Woche im Ferienhaus von Jina und Nick. Das Haus ist super ausgestattet und bietet eine Menge Platz. Wir waren nur zu zweit aber man kann super mit bis zu 6 Personen unterkommen. Die Küche war super ausgestattet, es gab wirklich alles, was man brauchte. Frühstücken, Abendessen oder einfach nur relaxen kann auf einer der drei Terrassen/Balkone. Die große Terrasse befindet sich direkt vor dem Haus, eine großzügige überdachte Loggia bietet zudem ein Outdoor-Sofa. Bis zum Meer sind es nur wenige Schritte. Der Strand ist toll und das Wasser super klar. Nach Koroni läuft man am Strand entlang etwa 20 Minuten. Das Haus ist absolut zu empfehlen, Thank you Jina and Nick!

Oase am Strand
Das Cottage ist der perfekte Ort für einen wirklich privaten Strandurlaub! Morgens zum Sonnenaufgang ans Meer - es sind nur 100 m! Mittags ein schattiges Plätzchen auf einer der beiden hübschen Terrassen am Haus und abends zurückan den Strand um ein Picknick abzuhalten oder den Schildkröten beim schlüpfen zuzusehen. Das hübsche Häuschen liegt versteckt zwischen Feigenbäumen in einem sehr ruhigen Abschnitt des ZAGA-Beaches, ganz nah an der Surfschule. Es ist geschmackvoll und gut ausgestattet, um sich zu hause zu fühlen und Jina und Nick sind wunderbar unkomplizierte Gastgeber. Wir sagen vielen, vielen Dank für diese schöne Zeit und schätzen uns glücklich, das Stone Throw Cottage genossen zu haben!

Schön gelegenes, strandnahes Ferienhaus
Das Haus ist einfach, aber mit allem Notwendigen eingerichtet. (Nur der in der Ausstattung angegebene Fön hat gefehlt. Das angekündigte Fahrrad auch, aber das hätten wir auch wegen der steilen Anfahrt nicht genutzt.) Die beiden Kinder haben es genoßen, so nah am Strand zu wohnen und den ganzen Tag im Sand und Wasser zu spielen. Nachteil: Die Matratzen waren sehr unbequem und sollten erneuert werden. Die Wohnung war bei Bezug nur sehr grob gesäubert.
