An absolutely delightful experience! We loved the location with wonderful views, the great host(-s), the impeccable service! We shall return, for sure. We highly recommend it! Great accommodation, very close to lovely beaches, a really passionate and meticulous host, we loved it!

A jewel in Mani!

Katikies is a very special hotel, designed with great taste and offers privacy and breathtaking sea views! The hotel is super peaceful, yet minutes away from all the touristy areas, bars, restaurants and best beaches of Messenia. I have visited the hotel several times in the past and will definitely be back soon! Thank you for another amazing stay!

Best vacation ever!

We had an amazing stay and everything was super relaxing. The staff was super polite and the hotel has breathtaking View! We enjoyed the Greek sunsets and the pool was at a magnificent location! We had the most relaxing holidays!

Amazing stay

In a beautiful part of Greece these independent apartments are so organically incorporated with the scenery that it makes you not want to leave the hotel. The rooms were beautiful and the view amazing! I highly recommend it!

Beautiful scenery in an extraordinary hotel

Tasteful, spotless clean apartment in a quiet location with a stunning view onto a beautiful bay and the sunset.  Perfectly located between Stupa and Karadamyli. Easily hosts 3 adults.  Friendly, flexible arrangements. Thanks for the extra treats!

highly recommended 

We have previously enjoyed our stay at Katikies Manis in summer time and it was such a pleasure! We decided to re-visit and spend quite Christmas eve and it was worth it again! Although, this more a summer destination, in winter the experience is equally enjoyable but different. It was sunny and cold in the area, so we got to enjoy the warmth of beautiful houses and spend many more hours in-house, enjoying this amazing view! The houses were lovely maintained with new decorative features and attention to detail. We got lots of rest in these relaxing beds and couches by the fireplace. We were offered handmade traditional Christmas sweets by the kind caretaker and we felt that time was stretched in this calmness. It was great!

Re-visit at a loved destination

This review is a few months overdue, because we have been so busy with work and travelling. However, we haven’t forgotten our fantastic stay at this wonderful piece of Paradise, and feel that we ought to share our positive experience here with others. 

We (a party of 2 couples) stayed for 2 nights at the end of July. We booked the “Superior Residence with Sea View” and “Mini maisonette with sea View” – both of which were adequately furnished with stunning views from the balconies facing the ocean.

If you have trouble getting up and down narrow wooden stairs, then perhaps the Superior Residence is a better choice for you, as the bedroom in the Maisonette is located on the upper floor. Personally, I prefer the Superior Residence, as I find it to be more spacious and airy.

Our Maisonette has a small kitchenette, which was adequately furnished – only for snacks and not for “heavy cooking”. It has enough storage space and a living room with comfortable sofa and TV. The bed was comfortable, the indoor lighting was sufficient, the hot shower was powerful and the air-conditioners worked well. A large basket of local delicacies and a bottle of wine were waiting for us upon our arrival and the lady who was in charge of our checking-in was pleasant and helpful.   

Overall, we had a very positive experience staying at this property complex and we do not have any hesitation in recommending this fantastic place to others.

Fantastic Stay!!

Spent 8 nights overall in a Deluxe suite, which comprised large combined living room and  kitchenette in one corner, with large terrace. There were three apartments in all in this block, and ours was the middle one. The bedroom had a large very comfortable bed, with air conditioning. The bedroom window was fitted with an insect mesh, which meant the windows could be opened without allowing insects in. However the two doors from the living room to the terrace had no such protection, and a notice stated that windows and doors should be kept closed at all times. We found that there were lots of mosquitos around, and, even though anti-mosquito plug in was provided, it was not very effective. So an anti-mosquito spray is a necessity. The bathroom was clean, although the hot water functioning was not brilliant; it required the relevant hot water fuse to be switched on 15 mns prior to taking a shower, and turned off before using the shower. Sometimes the water was lovely and hot, sometimes not. Basic toiletries and an efficient hairdryer were provided. The apartment was cleaned daily, and sheets and towels were replaced regularly. Beach towels were also provided, and changed on request. The housekeeper was very helpful and even went out to buy milk for us when we asked her if she had any. The owner of the apartments came by to check that we were settling in and was pleasant and helpful.The furniture was comfortable, but not deluxe; the covers on the sofa needed refreshing; we compared our suite with the VIP residence next to us, and the furnishings there were better quality and the sofas looked fresher and newer. 
The location of the apartments is between the villages of Kardamyli and Stoupa, Kardamyli being the nearest. It is on the main road between these two villages, between two fairly sharp bends. There are no shops within walking distance, and the beach that is within walking distance is a pebbly beach which is not very relaxing. No sunbeds or facilities on that beach either. However there are two stunning sandy beaches (Kallogria and Stoupa) within a short car drive, each with facilities to use sunbeds of varying degrees of comfort, in exchange for buying a drink from the relevant bar. 
The huge appeal of this apartment for us was the view and the peace and tranquility; we chose to spend most evenings on the terrace listening to the water lapping all around us, as the apartment is on a headland, and watching the sun go down in a ball of fire. The daily cleaning was a further attraction for us, as it is rare to find this service on a self-catering basis, although I do note that now in Greece more and more new apartment blocks are offering this service.
There are three or four supermarkets within a five to seven minute drive; the largest of these, Katerina's Supermarket, near Stoupa, is definitely superior. Be prepared for sheep's heads on the butcher's counter..
So, as long as you have a car, and accept the necessity to go everywhere by car, then you can have a very enjoyable stay.

Stunning views from the terrace

If you are seeking a quiet secluded romantic location, this is the spot. Situated on a spot high above the sea with postcard views of the setting sun, the mini maisonette is ideal. The draw backs are the remoteness and the cooking capabilities. We did not do the best research and had anticipated closer proximity to some of the attractions we hoped to visit. The cooking is confined to a one large and one small burner stove top, with no oven, so cooking is limited although a supermarket is close by and the village of Kardamyli is a few km away. The other issue of note to those with mobility issues, the bedroom is in a loft up a spiral staircase and the bathroom is on the first level. 

Remote and Lovely

Reserved a maisonette room with sea view. The apartments are pretentiously named "exclusive living" and are on a cliff face 7 minutes drive to Kardamilli. No breakfast provided, and no restaurants in walking distance. The room was very small - lounge, dining area and kitchenette all squashed together. There was nowhere to unload our 2 suitcases, so had to open them on small banquette, which meant there was nowhere to sit except a kitchen chair. The size of the tv was the smallest I have ever seen, which says a lot about the dimensions of the downstairs room. The bedroom was situated up a steep spiral staircase ( difficult if you want to go to the downstairs bathroom during the night). To get to the outdoor balcony, you had to open 3 doors - all steel and glass - all with different methods of opening and closing. Insane. The downstairs kitchen has blinds on the window, but there is only a semi transparent curtain on the window of the upstairs bedroom.  I had to drape something over the window to prevent the outside lights disturbing my sleep. There is no onsite customer service - at least when I went twice to the office for help in opening one of the 3 doors to the balcony, no-one was there. Unsure about whether a restaurant was open in Kardamilli, I phoned the office number and asked if they could phone and find out. Although they agreed, but never rang back. So much for customer service. I could go on.... but suffice to say, I do not recommend this place.
