Olive Grove Bungalow

On the edge of the traditional village of Chomatada in Messinia, this single-storey bungalow sits on a fenced plot of nearly 1,470 sqm, surrounded by olive and fruit trees. It was originally built in 1986 and was fully renovated in 2023.

The villa offers approx. 81 sqm of living space, arranged on one level. The interior features a bright open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area, complemented by two comfortable bedrooms and a stylish shared bathroom. Large openings create a seamless connection between the indoor and outdoor living spaces.

The 2023 renovation was thorough. Large windows were added in the living room to bring in light and garden views, the bedrooms received new windows, and the kitchen and bathroom were rebuilt from scratch. A solar system supplies the hot water, and air conditioning units provide both heating and cooling in the bedrooms. The interior is finished in fresh white tones, the exterior in a soft light grey that settles into the landscape. Double-glazed doors and windows come with shutters and insect screens throughout.

Large openings connect the living area to a 30 sqm covered veranda shaded by a pergola, with a smaller 10 sqm balcony alongside. The veranda looks over the pool, the garden, and the rolling countryside, and becomes the natural centre of the house through the warm months. The private swimming pool sits among greenery with good privacy on all sides. The fully fenced garden has been carefully planted: nine olive trees, five citrus trees, a mature fig, and a mulberry that throws useful shade in summer, alongside oleander, bougainvillaea, and Mediterranean herbs.

Combining peaceful village living with modern comfort, this exceptional property enjoys a privileged setting in the heart of the Messinian countryside. Beautiful beaches, traditional villages, and some of the region's most renowned cultural attractions are all within easy reach.

Rental potential
Chomatada sits within easy reach of Kalamata International Airport, which is around 50 minutes away by car and connects directly to a wide range of European cities through the warm months. Seasonal routes run from the UK (London, Manchester, Edinburgh, and others), Germany, the Netherlands, Austria, Switzerland, Scandinavia, France, Belgium, and Italy, with many flights beginning in May and running into October, and some UK connections stretching to November. That long season is one reason the Pylos and Navarino area has drawn a growing community of international homeowners, many of whom rent out their properties when they are not using them themselves. A turnkey home with a private pool, close to the beaches, castles and golf courses of the coast, yet set in a quiet, authentic village, suits short-stay holiday guests well across spring, summer and autumn. There is no obligation to rent, so owners keep full personal use, and local rental management can take care of the practical side for those who would rather not handle it from abroad.

Location - distances
Chomatada is a small inland village in the Pylia area of southwest Messinia, set on gentle hills among olive groves between Pylos and Methoni. It keeps its working-village character, with a permanent local community and a kafenio where you can stop for a coffee or an ouzo. Pylos, the main town with its Venetian castle, harbour, and small medical centre, is 10 km away (about 12 minutes), while the signature golf courses are also within easy reach.
