Cottage ở Sparti

Iakovos Hy Lạp

Mr. Panos, the host is a very polite and caring person. He called us multiple times before our arrival to make sure we would have everything we would need. The house is in a remote village of Taygetos, perfect for getting away from civilization.

We liked the location, the quiet, the house the fact that it is only 5 minutes away from a great taverna serving wonderful tasty food. Only came because of the Spartathon which meant all accommodation sold out. This is a real find

Everything has been wonderful. Xakousti has treated us excellent. We hire bikes with them and we do not need to do anything they bring the bikes to the house. First class service.

Location was amazing will all the amenities (full kitchen, 3 rooms, washer+dryer, on-site parking). Restaurants and grocery stores are close-by but better driving.

It’s taken me a little time to write this review as I wanted the time to reflect on what was the most enjoyable, memorable, hospitable stay but also because this place is an absolute hidden gem in heart of the Peloponnese above Sparta. I arrived later than planned at midnight after misjudging the mountain road drive-time from Nafplio, but George the owner waited up and greeted me with a much needed glass of wine and friendly welcoming conversation. The property lane is quite easy to miss the first time you arrive as it’s right on the corner bend of the winding road a few km above Mystras. The small lane is a little bumpy past a waterfall and small rocky outcrop which at first might seem daunting but this is precisely what makes Forest Rock so peaceful, secluded and hidden once you arrive. Situated amongst the forest on the mountain side, the view across the Spartan valley over the city below is absolutely stunning and a marvel to behold. I never grew tired of it night or day. Time slows down here, it’s a place of healing and a dwelling for the heart. I especially enjoyed the wild dogs howling to one another across the valley as evening draws in. The accommodation itself has been lovingly curated over time to make it feel like a genuine home. It is humble, comfortable and warm with all the kitchen facilities one needs to cook if desired. Guide books and maps are likewise on the bookshelf, the wardrobe has plenty of blankets & towels, and the bathroom is recently fitted with a new shower. I’ll never forget the view on the first morning, simply beyond words, the week I stayed in April the trees were in full bloom with fuchsia pink flowers alive with the background hum of the bee’s. Speaking of bee’s the local restaurants have their own hives and I highly recommend asking and trying their honey. Sparta itself is only a 10 min drive, 7km away for shops etc m, alternatively George has an e-bike you can use which is a much better way to travel the mountain.

The property is old and quirky which I much prefer over a modern property. Beds were comfy and outside space lovely. The owners were very friendly and kindly gave us milk as we arrived on a Sunday night.

Very nice house with everything you may need. The persons in charge are very prompt and helpful. By mistake, we locked ourselves out and someone came very quickly with a spare key
