Liodentra Villas Ena

A charming family villa in the Peloponnese Mani Peninsula, this is one of a pair which share a large swimming pool and attractive gardens on the outskirts of Kardamyli. Completely self-contained, Villa Ena can be booked on its own for up to four guests, with an additional twin bedroom annexe, and/or with its sister-villa Thio for larger groups.  In a design inspired by the traditional architecture of the Mani, the two detached stone houses sit side by side in a peaceful olive grove, just a hundred metres from the clear waters and pebble shore of Ritsa beach.

With a handful of traditional Greek tavernas by the sea, and more in Kardamyli, a ten minute stroll away, the location is idyllic for easy-tempo idling, though climbers and hikers would enjoy the backdrop Taygetos Mountains, history buffs will find haunting landmarks in the surrounding area. Fully air-conditioned, the villa is beautifully furnished in a soothing colour palette of soft neutrals, enhanced with eclectic rugs and artworks, and enjoying exceptional service more usual in a boutique hotel.
