Studios Maniati in Elafonisos 230 53.
Studios Maniati commands sweeping Aegean views from a hilltop perch on Elafonisos, with whitewashed architecture rising above crystalline waters and rocky coastline.
The property's elevated position frames dramatic sunsets over the Peloponnese, while terraced gardens cascade toward the shoreline 230 meters below.
Mediterranean pines and local stone construction anchor the venue in its landscape, offering both intimacy and expansive vistas.
Everything was perfect, it was all super clean and well maintained, fantastic view overlooking the village, quiet, great breakfast which can be enjoyed in the beautiful garden, surrounded by olive trees and beautiful flowers, and peace. Thank you Alexandra!!
