We spend 10 days at the building in front of the sea. We know Vathi as we visited many years for camping and it is an amazing beach ! This year with a 1year old baby we decided to rent a room. The studios we stayed are in the older building located in front of the sea! The location is simply amazing!!!
However the building is old and needs serious updating! It could also have been cleaner and for the amount we paid (50 euros no receipt) we would expect to get the room cleaned more regularly not every 3 days! The room is spacious but the bathroom is really small and it is difficult to handle a small kid in there!

If they update the building and provide better service we will definitely be back!!!

Vathi is generally expensive . There are other places where you would stay in a good hotel for the same amount. Still it is one of the best beaches!!!

Btw don’t go to Vathi beach cafe restaurant for food! It sucks and they are thieves!!!

Awesome place old building 

Very difficult to find. Called them to get better directions. The owners never answered phone for us to get key or on how to arrive at premises. Finally after making a few stops and asking people we  finally arrived . Even though I had specifically said the day before we would be there at 6pm, no one was there. We waited until 10 at night to get a call. nothing!!  I sent two emails and called about 10 times. Nothing!! Was never contacted. Started looking for a place to stay at 10pm. At that hour everything in the area had been either booked or not available to reach ​. Ended up driving with 2 kids back to Athens at 11pm getting home at 3am. Very disappointed!! Got a phone call the next day at 10 am. When I called back they kept making line busy.  Very unprofessional!! 

Never Responded !! 

The place is hard to find (it's a short walk through the olive groves) but beautiful. Very quiet, in the middle of oranges and figs. The beach is right next to it.

Quietness near the beach

We spent two wonderful weeks in this family-run hotel in October 2014. The buildings are embedded in a large garden with generous lawns and orange and fig trees - it is allowed to be cherished! Through the kitchen lines it is possible to provide yourself with small meals. The quiet beach is a few minutes away from the apartment houses - the corridor leads there through the large family plot. A supermarket, a bakery and a vegetable farm are about a kilometre away. The area is suitable for hiking and excursions in old towns (Gythion, Monemvassia, Misdons). The peninsula is wild from the original - although there is a hidden and unobstructed view of the caves, but at the end of October there are still plenty of hidden and unobstructed streets.

Just feeling good

Very nice and quiet place, a large estate. There are a few buildings in the property. We stayed in Yannis' new stonehouse, in a big garden full of orange trees. The house was for four people, but we've got a good price because we were two. There is a little kitchen in the house also. The restaurant did not work during our stay, but it was very sympathetic. The small beach in the end of the property is good. We walked about ten minutes in the estate to reach the beach. If you plan to book there, make sure in which house you will stay. There is a very old building closer to the beach, but I would never recomend it.

Relaxation

Stayed in their "stone houses" for 4 nights in August. We had one house and my parents were next door. Surrounded by Mountains and Orange + Figs trees, yet only a couple hundred metres from a great beach. 
Vathy beach was a nice pebbly/sandy beach which was kid friendly for our daughter and safe for my elderly parents as well. We were surrounded by other families which was also very nice. Our daughter would play often with the younger girl next door.
The location was also great. 10 minutes to Gythion - nice place for dinner - 35 mintues to Diros Caves which was a great hilight and 45 minutes to Sparta.
Wouldn't recommend the food at the hotel but you really don't need to eat here. Accomodations were very nice - mattress Ok at best, typical of Greek hotels.

Cottage Feel, Nice Stone Houses

Picture waking up to beautiful mountains surrounded by orange & fig trees and a nice beach within a couple hundred metres walk!
We enjoyed our 4 night stay at this nice property in their "building 3" stone houses. The accomodations seemed fairly new. We had 1 house and my parents were next door. I will always remember picking figs and oranges with my father who is 85. He would make us fresh squeezed OJ and eggs every morning. We especially liked the "non touristy feel" of this entire area. Nice families surrounded us and our daughter played with their kids.
The beach was great - a sandy/pebbly beach. More pebbly towards Belle Helene hotel - more sandy towards beach Volleyball court. More child friendly than neighbouring Mavrovouni.
Diros caves is a must see only 1/2 hour drive from hotel. Gythio a 10 minute drive is a great place to drive for dinner - very picturesque. Car is essential for this trip.
Only suggestion would be not to eat at hotel - not the best food. Mattress could have been a little more comfortable but not bad - typical of what you get in Greece.

Great Setting, Nice Cottage Accomodations

We spent wonderful, relaxing days on the orange plantations of Stella and Yannis near Gythio on October 8. Our children could play in the grounds all day long (mainly with the abundant cats) without having to worry about traffic etc. The facility is really secluded and a car is a must. To get to the clean, quiet beach it's only a few steps away. The children were enthusiastically pressing orange juice for breakfast every day. Our studio was functional, there was nothing left (except maybe a very short and a German TV). The kitchen was almost enough to prepare our breakfast with our family boxes and sometimes a TV.

Purely recreational

We went to Agroktima Boukouvala on Easter Holiday (April 2010) and stayed at the "stone houses". It was the most relaxing holiday. Our 2 year old son played under the orange trees all day long. Safe surroundings with no cars, no swimming pool, children with their bicycles everywhere. Stella and Yiannis, the owners, are really friendly, helpful and are the perfect example of warm greek hospitality. Stella cooks fantastically. She doesn't exacltly operates an organised taverna, but she prepares everyday 2-3 greek cuisine dishes, and you can eat outiside at the garden or at your balcony. The place is green, quiet and a lovely sandy with small pebbles beach (which you can't see form the estate) is on a 2 minute walking distance. During July and August they are full, but if you can go there on May-June or September-October you will be really pleased. Also, the location is ideal for small or longer excursions with your car: Gytheion, Caves of Dyrros, Mani Castles, Limeni etc. We already booked for our summer holidays!
