Our first impression of Casa Sophia was the description and photo on the website. Following our booking we received a wonderful description of Sophia and Mogens home and, the surrounding area. We drove from the North West of The Peleonnese using the descriptive guide from Sophia and Mogens and arrived, with no hickups, late in the afternoon. The surprise awaited us!!!!! We parked our car out of the village and walked slowly through the narrow, cobbled roads and lanes to the beautiful wrought iron front gates of Casa Sophia.
Sophia greeted us with a welcoming smile and showed us through her gorgeous home.
Once we stepped onto the terrace and, then inside, the peace came over us. The house offered us all we wished for, including some extra goodies! We made ourselves at home and sorted out our luggage as we had been travelling for 3 weeks. Sophia kindly washed our travel soiled clothing and offered us suggestions of the different possibilities of exploring the mountains or the coastline.
We spent our days arising late, enjoying a delicious breakfast on the terrace listening to the birds and gazing at the azure Mediteranean Sea. Off in the car exploring the mountain villages was an adventure and great fun discovering the spots to stop for a Greek salad and coffee - one under a 100 year old Sycamore tree. The Bysantine Chapels and churches are very special in this area and well worth stopping to take a look inside. As it was very hot we always made it to the sea for a late cooling swim, headed back to Pygos, refreshed ourselves and then drove 10 mins to one of the seaside villages for a delicious Greek meal.
Thank you very much Sophia and Mogens for our wonderful stay in your home and congratulation on making it such a special place.
We will recommend Casa Sophia on the Mani in the Peleponnese to our friends, family and travel agent.
Go well both of you. Warmest regards, Kerrie and Rob
