  Stunning views from the terrace

  Spent 8 nights overall in a Deluxe suite, which comprised large combined living room and kitchenette in one corner, with large terrace. There were three apartments in all in this block, and ours was the middle one. The bedroom had a large very comfortable bed, with air conditioning. The bedroom window was fitted with an insect mesh, which meant the windows could be opened without allowing insects in. However the two doors from the living room to the terrace had no such protection, and a notice stated that windows and doors should be kept closed at all times. We found that there were lots of mosquitos around, and, even though anti-mosquito plug in was provided, it was not very effective. So an anti-mosquito spray is a necessity. The bathroom was clean, although the hot water functioning was not brilliant; it required the relevant hot water fuse to be switched on 15 mns prior to taking a shower, and turned off before using the shower. Sometimes the water was lovely and hot, sometimes not. Basic toiletries and an efficient hairdryer were provided. The apartment was cleaned daily, and sheets and towels were replaced regularly. Beach towels were also provided, and changed on request. The housekeeper was very helpful and even went out to buy milk for us when we asked her if she had any. The owner of the apartments came by to check that we were settling in and was pleasant and helpful.The furniture was comfortable, but not deluxe; the covers on the sofa needed refreshing; we compared our suite with the VIP residence next to us, and the furnishings there were better quality and the sofas looked fresher and newer. The location of the apartments is between the villages of Kardamyli and Stoupa, Kardamyli being the nearest. It is on the main road between these two villages, between two fairly sharp bends. There are no shops within walking distance, and the beach that is within walking distance is a pebbly beach which is not very relaxing. No sunbeds or facilities on that beach either. However there are two stunning sandy beaches (Kallogria and Stoupa) within a short car drive, each with facilities to use sunbeds of varying degrees of comfort, in exchange for buying a drink from the relevant bar. The huge appeal of this apartment for us was the view and the peace and tranquility; we chose to spend most evenings on the terrace listening to the water lapping all around us, as the apartment is on a headland, and watching the sun go down in a ball of fire. The daily cleaning was a further attraction for us, as it is rare to find this service on a self-catering basis, although I do note that now in Greece more and more new apartment blocks are offering this service. There are three or four supermarkets within a five to seven minute drive; the largest of these, Katerina's Supermarket, near Stoupa, is definitely superior. Be prepared for sheep's heads on the butcher's counter.. So, as long as you have a car, and accept the necessity to go everywhere by car, then you can have a very enjoyable stay.

  Remote and Lovely

  If you are seeking a quiet secluded romantic location, this is the spot. Situated on a spot high above the sea with postcard views of the setting sun, the mini maisonette is ideal. The draw backs are the remoteness and the cooking capabilities. We did not do the best research and had anticipated closer proximity to some of the attractions we hoped to visit. The cooking is confined to a one large and one small burner stove top, with no oven, so cooking is limited although a supermarket is close by and the village of Kardamyli is a few km away. The other issue of note to those with mobility issues, the bedroom is in a loft up a spiral staircase and the bathroom is on the first level.

  Best vacation ever!

  Katikies is a very special hotel, designed with great taste and offers privacy and breathtaking sea views! The hotel is super peaceful, yet minutes away from all the touristy areas, bars, restaurants and best beaches of Messenia. I have visited the hotel several times in the past and will definitely be back soon! Thank you for another amazing stay!

  Beautiful scenery in an extraordinary hotel

  In a beautiful part of Greece these independent apartments are so organically incorporated with the scenery that it makes you not want to leave the hotel. The rooms were beautiful and the view amazing! I highly recommend it!
