    This is our second time at Villa Smaragda and we couldn't be happier! For a family of six, there is so much room to relax, watch sunsets, and enjoy the gardens. Perfectly located between Areopoli and Limeni - this villa truly has it all!

    Très belle et très agréable maison au dessus de Limeni avec une vue imprenable sur la mer. La maison est bien équipée. Elle est idéalement placée pour visiter la merveilleuse région du Magne et du Péloponnèse en général.

The first and foremost reason for staying in our villa is that you already have a comparative advantage compared to staying in a hotel. You don't have common areas, restaurants, buffets, breakfasts, etc. Here you spend your holidays and it's like living in your summer house or your own home. The second and most basic reason is the view and the connection that the visitor has with the laconic land and nature.
I hope your journey was pleasant and comfortable. Allow me to introduce myself to you – my name is Michael Petroulas, my parents Petros and Smaragda and we ll do our best to make your stay in Mani easy and enjoyable!
The beautiful Limeni is a seaside village of Mani and one of the most beautiful and traditional settlements in the area that is worth visiting once in one’s life. It is located 5 km from Areopolis and the visitor leaves from there full of pictures. A lane of terrestrial paradise with stone houses on the water. Limeni, the port of Areopolis, is generally recognized as one of the finest residential complexes of Laconian Mani with tourist growth growing in recent years. Arriving in Limeni we will admire Petrobei’s Palace with its four-story Tower and its arched openings that bear witness to the glamour of the time. The palace played an important role during the revolutionary and post-revolutionary times, while the tomb and the bust of the military leader Petrombei Mavromichalis were in the area. Most of the beach in Limeni is rocky even in the sea. Areopolis is a town on the Mani Peninsula. The word Areopoli means “city of Ares”, the ancient Greek god of war. The Greek War of Independence was started at Areopoli on March 17, 1821 by Petros Pierrakos, also known as Petros Mavromichalis, the last bey of Mani. Now Areopolis has grown into a flourishing town. Its tower houses, constructed with field stones, are distinct from the traditional blue and white buildings that characterize many Greek villages. Areopolis is situated near the west coast of the Mani Peninsula, 1.5 km from its port Limeni. It is 20 km southwest of Gytheio. There is a lively open air market in the main square each Saturday, with a lot of local producers present. In this area the first armed groups were formed where they first raised the flag of the revolution on 17 March 1821. This Flag of Areopoli was white and brought various national symbols. It was rescued and exhibited today at the National Historical Museum of Athens.
