THE PROPERTY

We are offering for rent our traditional stone house which was built over 150 years as a typical fortified stone tower house which was the characteristic architecture of the area of Mani.

The first fortification towers of Mani appeared in the second half of the 13th century and were the means of defence in the era of the Ottoman occupation and in later years the men of the family defended themselves from the towers in times of vendeta which were common in the area.
Many of the towers in Oitilo were torn down by the earthquake of 1927 and although the houses were renovated afterwards, the towers were never re-built. Our house has been fully renovated in recent years, but nevertheless it retains the aura of the past.

The house is accessed from the village's central square by a narrow stone-paved path which leads to the arched entrance. It is a peaceful retreat overlooking the walled-in garden and the mountains in the distance.

The path is too narrow for cars to enter, but there is sufficient parking space in the near-by square.

The sea is a 5km drive down the mountain.

The house is ideal for a family with 2-3 children, or two couples.

Four or five people can sleep in a combination of the main bedroom (double bed), the second bedroom (two single beds) and the three-quarter sofa bed in the living room-kitchen.

The bedrooms are air-conditioned and a television is provided.

The kitchen is equipped with oven/stove and large refrigerator.

Also a microwave, filter coffee machine and kettle are provided.

There is a full complement of dishes, glasses, cups, cutlery and pots and pans.
All linens, towels etc. are furnished.

In the large tiled bathroom there is also a washing machine .

There is a large veranda which overlooks the trees in the garden below, ideal for having your breakfast or your afternoon coffee.

It has a sun-roof and veranda chairs and table are provided.
