From research we knew this apartment hotel was in a quiet coastal location that we wanted, though finding it in the dark, driving from Kalamata airport in a thunder storm required previous research, confidence and persistence! The building is showing signs of wear and tear. Parking and access are OK. Staff were welcoming and friendly. Apartment was comfortable with good sea view and balcony and facilities enough for the two of us. A bit basic on the decor and facilities but fine if you remember that it's not meant to be a "home from home" - all those differences are what makes a holiday! The beach is 80 steps down to a pebble/stones clearest of waters and lovely swimming without many others around. Sandy beaches are down the coast a bit, e.g. Stoupa. Local shopping was fine and we were able to drive to Sparta, Mystras over the hills, on good roads with spectacular views
