Bassa Maina Villas and Suites in the Peloponnese, Greece

Bassa Maina Villas and Suites – Greece’s southern Peloponnese is better than ever with Bassa Maina Villas and Suites – a 4* boutique hotel tucked into the rolling countryside of Mani. From its rugged mountain surrounds to the exceptional services and amenities, here’s why everybody loves it (and you will too).  The Peloponnese makes a perfect road trip.

1.     Peaceful Location

In deep Mani, Bassa Maina rises from the middle of three peninsulas, far from the crowds and tourist traps of the southern Peloponnese. The location provides a great base for exploring the region’s untouched beauty, be it beautiful coves, laid-back villages or jaw-dropping sunsets.  (I’ve added a photo I took from our own Villa Serendipity balcony in Stoupa on our last trip to the Mani!)

The hotel is 15 minutes by car from Kelefa Castle, built in the 17th century by the Ottomans. Diros Cave – a natural underground cathedral – is 14 km away. Mavrovouni Beach is 23 km away, and Kalamata Airport is a 2-hour drive.  The beautiful seaside resort of Stoupa with it’s gently curving bay and many tavernas and restaurants is just an hour’s drive, and halfway between the villas and Kalamata.

Nine independent, stone-built villas and suites make guests feel at ease. Each one features a unique layout, en-suite bathroom with rainfall shower, and a furnished balcony or patio.

Everything from the linen to the lights is designed to create a warm, relaxed mood. 40-inch TVs with satellite channels provide entertainment, while free WiFi keeps you connected. Other conveniences include orthopedic king-size beds, Nespresso machines, safes and desks.
