Paris Village Messinia

Angela and Wim, we can't thank you enough for your warm welcome and hospitality! Paris village was like a home from home. Very little have we returned from a holiday feeling so rested! Despite a late arrival Angela and Wim were there to greet us! Wim took the time to talk us through everything we needed! Our accommodation was spot on, there was even a welcome basket with beautiful goodies inside and milk in the fridge! The pool area was perfect! No competition for sunbeds, no early noise and a beautiful siesta time in the afternoon! Perfect! A little bar by the side of the pool offering drinks and snacks and ice cream! Our favourite 0.0% beer called Fix. And Greek coffee! Beside the pool were handy, reimagined fridge freezers filled with books (reading is cool) and games! Travelling with teenage children the WiFi is of paramount importance and it was great! Away from the accommodation were beautiful restaurants all of a good standard and very reasonable! Our favourite were Socrates (higher end) and Billy's place where you could get the best Gyros for 3.50 euros! (lower end) The beach just down from the apartment is lovely but stoney, we would really advise sea shoes! There was no entering or leaving the sea in a graceful manner! We didn't explore the area at all, we just had a week off! But the people we spoke to who did said there were lovely beaches close by! I heard Angela was very helpful with hire car arranging! We were really sad to leave Paris Apartments. They are really special! We met such lovely people there. I believe they attract lovely people ( or we got extremely lucky). We really would love to visit again!

Did our summer holidays here as a family of 4. . Angela and her staff were exceptional in the service provided. Really went above and beyond whenever we need help, car rental, recommending outings and even cream to soothe mosquito bites etc. We also received a lovely welcome basket. Such a thoughtful gesture. We had a two bedroom accomodation Kitchen. Well stocked with enough plates and dishes for 6. They also included plastic dishes and cups which would be useful for younger children. The fridge was the biggest I've ever had with a freezer compartment so you can properly stock up if you want to. There was a Filter coffee machine and a kettle. No toaster so we just put the grill in the oven for toasting. I did miss having a microwave just to warm things faster. Stove had two plates but they do take a while to heat up and cool down so just be aware. Bathroom was shower no bathtub but worked for us. Bedrooms were 1 double and 2 singles. . Plenty of wardrobe space Although the wardrobes are little outdated. Could do with a few more hangers but didn't ask. There wasn't an ironing board in the room, which I did miss but didn't ask. Aircon is in the bedrooms only but that should suffice. You do need to pay for this additionally but a must for hot weather. Facilities: There's a lovely swimming pool with lounge chairs and tables which all the guests used sensibly. No one hoarded or abused them. The whole complex is set in lovely grounds with plenty of vegetation and trees which are well maintained. This is especially useful in hot weather. Towels were provided on request. There's a table tennis table and basketball hoop. We used our own equipment but it is provided. There's a library at the poolside if you want to read or leave a book. To Note: Beware of especially mosquitoes and keeping the screen door shut to other insects. I would have come more prepared if I had realized this. My poor two got bitten both inside and outside the premises. So I would highly recommend mosquito repellent, bands etc. We had a few encounters with centipedes which freaked my daughter out initially but eventually she got over them. We didn't have issues with ants like in some places we've been too. WiFi is available but a little patchy. There's some restaurants within walking distance of the accommodation but all serve very Greek and meat heavy dishes, vegetarian options too but after a few days this can get a bit old. Allegro was good, Socrates better, the Garden was okay but would not go back to Hellas. I would highly recommend a rental car as parking is provided and it'll be easier to get to some of the further sites. We did go to the farmers market in kalamata using the bus. This stops in front of the supermarket. We bought most stuff we needed from the supermarket except water which we got from reception. If you're staying longer, there's a washing machine that you can get access to. They also provide towels for the pool and every accommodation has a clothes stand and washing lines. The beach is about a 5-10 minute walk depending on who's walking. It's a stone beach with some sandy patches. It was ridiculously hot when we were here so I would choose a time of year when it was more bearable so as not to be confined to the room on some days. Otherwise enjoyed the holiday and even more so when we were mobile with the rental car

Wonderful staff, who clearly take pride in the apartments, the gardens are absolutely beautiful, thoughtfully planted to provide individual privacy. Lovely size rooms with modern shower room. The whole complex is cleaned to a very high standard. Blissful stay. Thank you. ❤️‍🩹

Very beautiful little complex for a holiday with children. Great pool, close to the sea and enough restaurants at walking distance. Appartement was clean and everything in good order. A lot of shade in the garden. Next year again? Yes, we went back! Again we had a great time. Very relaxing.

This was the most unpleasant place we've ever been in our lives. For 9 nights, they cleaned our room 2 times. The boiler was in the adult bedroom in the closet, which is extremely dangerous. With our arrival, the owner gave us a book full of rules. The ''breakfast''' consisted of a basket with one bread loaf, one spoon of 2 types of cheap jam, 50 grams of cheese, all of that for 3 people. They wanted 3 euros a day to use the air conditioner, even though we paid more 100 euros a night, which is funny. One day my wife went with coffee to the pool, she was threatened that next time she'd have to pay for it. It is not our fault that the coffee they serve sucks. The pool is nice but you can't use it because the kids of the owners play in it all day without thinking twice about the guests. Pathetic place, we'd never recommend it.
