The Hotel’s Window

The Patrick & Joan Leigh Fermor House is nestled in the foothills and steep terrain of the area, overlooking the sea and the Taygetus Mountain Range behind it. A distant look at the coastline quickly finds numerous small fishing boats out for the day's catch. The rocky terrain and beautiful coastline encourage a simple walk to take in this area's natural elegance. A visit to The Patrick & Joan Leigh Fermor House enables visitors to explore the stunning beauty of Kardamyli, Greece, a town noted for its anti-resort style and impressive views. Once a sleepy fishing village, today, it is the ideal place to visit for a serene, visually stunning community. Even more remarkable is that the house is considered one of the most beautiful properties in the country.

Insider’s Knowledge

When one thinks of holidaying in Greece, the image of white-washed houses with stunning sea views often comes to mind. Not this time, however. Intrigued by this singular house, we spoke to Eva Soulia, Marketing Manager at Aria Hotels, who operates the property as a hotel for three months a year. She patiently explained to us why The Patrick & Joan Leigh Fermor House (PLF for regulars) has grown to be one of the most exclusive, desirable private houses in the whole Mediterranean.

Hotel’s Location

There is little doubt The Patrick & Joan Leigh Fermor House is the ideal place for those who wish to find a serene, even romantic, getaway in Greece right on the sea. It is only about 38 km from Kalamata and just 49 km from the airport in Kalamata. This makes it an exceptional opportunity for those who wish to explore a more remote area. It is about a 3.5-hour trip to the House from the airport.
