About this cottage rental
Welcome to an authentic Greek house, full of traditional elements that characterize the Greek culture. It is a house in the country side where you can breathe fresh air and get the absolute peace of mind. The house is a reminiscent of the Greek tradition and Greek culture! Its interior part has many timeless objects reminding the ancient Greek civilization while it is also built with stone and wood. It has an internal fireplace and a traditional wooden oven that turn us back to the old times! This is an authentic, traditional Greek house near Nafplio and Mycenae. It is both peaceful and quiet as well as very close to any social destinations you may wish to visit, such as touristic Nafplio or historical Mycenae. In this house, you will feel like a true Bronze Age’s visitor. The stony environment and the wooden details make the whole scenery a lot more than vintage. There are also, many timeless objects and traditional furniture all over the house that complete this picture. Classic sofas, wooden plates, ceramic glasses, carpets and wooden walls. There is also, a stony tower, a path which leads you to the entrance, an internal fireplace and a wooden oven in which you can prepare your food. In the internal part of the house, there are 2 bedrooms and 3 comfortable beds, a bathroom, a wooden dining room, a classic living room and a beautiful kitchen. As for the external part of the house, there is a front and a back garden, the oven and an external fireplace. However, apart from that, you can train yourself a little bit. Who said that vacations are only about relaxing? If you want to combine winter with summer season, you should just wear your trainers. You will have the chance to run or walk in several paths over the house or even play soccer and basketball in the outside garden and courtyard. A football court and a basket will be set for you along with some balls to use. Or else, you can just sit around the fireplace and enjoy your holiday. All areas are for visitors only! The house is private, the hot tub you can use on May until September.

It certainly is a beautiful, vintage property set in peaceful, authentic greek countryside. We love this type of rural home and loved every minute of being there. But at the same time it is close to important local facilities - like Napflion, the regional capital - and wonderful beaches all along the long coasts. Calm, warm waters particularly at Tolo and Kondyli beaches. John - our Host - couldn't have been more helpful especially when we were worried about finding the property and getting access in late evening! We would highly recommend this property to families and others.

Awesome house. Very enjoyable, in the wilderness with many comforts (jacuzzi above all: very delightful after walking in Tyrint, Mikene, Palamidi).
And also a mention to the very kind and efficient host!
Great!

Beautiful stone house easily slept the 5 in our family. Calming and peaceful for the most part, but the dog next door would bark until 1am every night, which was frustrating. All the contact with the John was quick and pleasant, but everything was in Greek. (Yes, I know…it’s in Greece.) But all of the house rules, instructions, etc., were all in Greek, which made things difficult for us, as I am the only member of my family who knows a little Greek. Could make things interesting for non-Greek travelers. Hot water was plenteous as long as you give the water heater an hour or so to heat up. Lemon trees outside offered the opportunity for my girls to make some homemade lemonade. Some reviews mentioned having a complimentary, continental breakfast, but we did not receive any. We were provided a large bag of oranges and a bottle of wine, though. Kitchen counters, appliances, etc., weren’t completely clean, and the house smelled like smoke that was trying to be covered up by air fresheners. I contacted the owner prior to our stay to ask about the smoke, since it is allowed in the house, and was told not to worry about it. Lastly, we were all excited about being able to get in the hot tub, as it appears in the photos. While the site says the hot tub is available year-round, in another place it says that it is only set up in summer months, but it is available upon advance request at other times. We came in February, so we were a bit disappointed. We should have read better, though.

We stayed at the Stone Cottage as our jumping off point to explore the area around Nafplio. It was a perfect location to access Nafplio, the Mycenae and Epidaurus ruins - all were within 15-30 mins in either direction. We were also able to access the beaches along the Aegean sea in about 30 minutes as well.
The house is located among Olive and Orange groves with wonderful views from the courtyard of the mountains. (Tip - pick up a bag of oranges sold at a stand along the road on the way to the house as there is an electric juicer and we had fresh squeezed juice every day).
The cottage was perfect for our family of four. The house was kept nice and cool by AC, beds were comfortable, and we loved looking through all the quirky decorations throughout the house. My kids especially loved being able to play basketball in the evening after we ate outside in the courtyard. The amazing lavender all over the property smells wonderful.
John was an excellent host. He was super responsive prior to our arrival answering all our questions and providing instructions. He checked in with us upon arrival to make sure we were all set and made himself available while we stayed.
We loved this area of Greece and our stay at the Stone Cottage. Was a lovely adventure!
