Great Wild vacations
We enjoyed 2 weeks in this nice villa near by the dunes and the beach. It is perfect for people that are looking at staying in a wild and protected natural area ! Leonidas is a nice guy and was full of tips and always available to support in case needed. The only point to improve is the water as their is not that much drinkable water in the area as well as in the house.

Esther I.

Exceptional value and spaciousness for relaxed vacation.
I recommend this beautiful property for longer stays as it is far from the city but near a beautiful beach on the Ionian sea. Our host, Leonidas, was gracious and came to meet us in the town of Lappa or so we could find the property with long curving driveway. We stayed almost a week and wish we could have had longer. Day trips by car to Olympia, Temple of Apollo, Patra, and island of Zakynthos from Killini were easily managed. Located in/near a huge national park the forest of umbrella trees and birds were interesting with a back drop of lovely small mountains.

Why they chose this property

Half of Villa Dunes is the old monastery where the nun=kalogria used to stay and gave the name to the area,built in a field of 10.000 sq.m. with lots of lemon,orange,olive and other trees.In a unique environment surrounded by the Strofilia forest well known for the lakes,the dunes and the pine trees,is a birds habitat yet a historical place.It is also protected by NATURA and RAMSAR projects.
Detached but also only 350 meters (8min) through the dunes to the 'blue flag' by EU sandy beach,offers a peaceful environment with all amenities (tavernas,beach parties,lakes in the forest,Araxos airport etc) in walking distance.
There are many historical places around reachable by car or bus.Dimaion castle is only 2 kilometers away,Killini and from there to Zakynthos and Kefalonia islands is 20 minutes away, and above all, Ancient Olympia is only 30 minutes driving.Delphi is reachable by car or bus as a day excursion.
Supermarkets,tavernas with local meat and fish,doctors and hospitals are in easily reachable distances from the villa that was totally renovated and furnished by the owner in 2011 to offer a relaxed and calm environment to the visitors.A/C,double glazed windows,ceiling fun,wi-fi,solar heating water,wood oven and bbq is offered while cleaning,bedsheets,towls and beach towels are offered weekly to make a comfortable stay.

What makes this property unique

The area is protected by NATURA and RAMSAR CONVENTION.Living in this particular area gives you the impression of staying in a unique environment that was naturally created for the last 5 centuries,it's unique to the Mediterranean area for the pine tree forest,the sandy beach,the dunes and the lakes.The villa particularly is a combination of two connected houses the older part being a monastery of 18th century and the other part a newer building.Built in a field of 10.000 sq.m. gives the feeling of calmness,quietness and it's the last house to the beach .
