Discover the enchanting villages of Areopolis and Oitylo, each steeped in history and traditional charm, or take a short trip to Limeni, known for its crystal-clear waters and picturesque seafront. Explore the mesmerizing Caves of Diros, one of Greece’s most impressive natural wonders, and let the serenity of Gerolimenas transport you to another era.

For beach lovers, a visit to the pristine shores of Elafonisos is a must, with its white sands and turquoise waters creating a little piece of paradise. From cultural landmarks to natural beauty, Filanthi’s Retreat is your gateway to the wonders of the Mani Peninsula.

Wonderful Hostess Beautiful Location

What a wonderful stay we had. It is out there in the countryside up in the mountains away from everything. Very easy to find though. Beautiful views. Filanthi provided so many treats for us. We had a small problem with the washer, but it was probably just our lack of knowledge of European washers. Would highly recommend!!

Great house in a quiet area of Mani

We spend two weeks in Filanthi´s house. The house of Filanthi is located in a little village, almost on the top of the mountain which includes a 20min drive to the next town of Gythio. A wonderful retreat if you love nature and quiet places. Filanthi, her sister (which lives next to the house) and the whole neighbarhood are very nice and kind persons. Filanthis was always available and gave us and really warm welcome and some really nice advices of the places to visit. The house is lovely with lots of nice areas and we spend a fantasitc time there. As we travel with 5 persons we always book holiday houses for our stay but Filanthis house was the cleanest. My wife is a little bit fussy on this but had absolutely nothing to complain. The house is very well equipped and there is nothing you won´t find in this house with one exception. There is an air condition at the lower floor with works fine but in the sleeping rooms there is no air condition but just ceiling fans. They work pretty well but if you expect air condition in all rooms you will be disappointed. All sleeping rooms have a nice size and are equipped with TV. There is also a nice sitting area outside which you could use. It´s a yard but with a grill, table, chairs and a lot of nice details. In total we collected a lot of nice memories in Filanthis house and we would alsolutely recommend it. Thanks for everything!

About Your Host – Filanthi

Hello! I’m Filanthi, your host at Filanthi’s Retreat in Mani’s Nature. Born and raised in this beautiful region, I have always felt a deep connection to the rich history, unspoiled landscapes, and warm hospitality that define Mani.

I find immense joy in sharing the beauty of my homeland with others. Whether it’s recommending the best local spots, introducing you to authentic flavors, or simply ensuring your stay is as comfortable and memorable as possible, hosting is not just a passion for me—it’s a way of life.

When I’m not welcoming guests, you’ll find me tending to the garden, exploring the trails and hidden treasures of Mani, or capturing the magic of the area to share on social media.

At Filanthi’s Retreat, my goal is to create a home away from home where you can unwind, reconnect with nature, and experience the true essence of Mani’s charm. I look forward to welcoming you and helping you create lasting memories!

Why they chose this property

Mani is a place like no other—a region where rugged mountains meet crystal-clear seas, and ancient history weaves seamlessly with untouched nature. I chose this area because it feels like a sanctuary, offering tranquility, inspiration, and a deep connection to the past.

What I love most is the ever-changing scenery: the olive groves that glisten in the sunlight, the wildflowers that burst into color in the spring, and the timeless charm of the stone villages. Every corner of Mani has a story to tell, whether it’s the hidden coves perfect for a quiet swim, the winding paths that lead to breathtaking views, or the warmth of the locals who always greet you with a smile.

This area is not just where I live—it’s where I feel alive. I’m excited to share this special part of the world with you and help you discover the magic of Mani for yourself.
