Cottages in Mystras

Edward Canada

Great location, very close to the wonderful site of Mystras and a good base for visiting nearby sites such as Monemvasia and the Mani. Quiet. Nice terrace and garden. Clean. Located 200 meters from a friendly local restaurant which serves both breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Nikolaos Greece

The upper apartment is spacious and has a beautiful view over the valley and to the mountains. Wifi was good everywhere and the place was very quiet. The parking space in front of the building was also spacious. Perfect!

It was an amazing stay. The landlord was very nice and gracefool. He even brought as fresh pastry in the morning. The villa is amazing, with great views and huge rooms. Each room was air-conditioned, kitchen was fully stocked and terrace had great views over Mystras village and archeological site. Three large bathrooms were a great bonus. We loved everything!

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.

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.
