Wonderful!
We had a fabulous week at The Goatshed in early April. It is a gorgeous, quirky and cosy space to stay. Fida and Chris were the most thoughtful of hosts, so friendly and full of suggestions for great places to visit and always ready to help with anything. The house is excellently well equipped - everything we thought of, even things we thought we were unlikely to find, was somewhere in the house. We were very comfortable and relaxed the whole time. Cannot recommend highly enough!

A little bit of paradise in an oasis of calm!
The Goatshed is a beautiful, tranquil antidote to modern life. Fida and Chris are magnificent hosts; from the moment of arrival to saying our goodbyes, they were warm, welcoming and knowledgeable. On our first day, they took us on a trip of the local area, pointing out the best beaches, restaurants and bars, and places to buy groceries. The accommodation is really well equipped - it had everything we could need and more besides. Sitting on the veranda, listening to the sounds of nature is a memory that will stay with us for a long time. We are looking forward to returning as soon as we are able to.

A gem!
Really enjoyed our stay at the Goatshed. Fida and Chris have clearly thought about the finer details. The property is very equipped and well stocked with every day necessities. A very generous welcome pack was also provided. We decided against a hire car and managed perfectly well walking to local beaches and to Keroni which are within a 1km or so from the property- the uphill climbs helped with our overall fitness. Our hosts took us to a larger supermarket on the 2nd day and also gave us a tour of the area, pointing out mini markets, fresh poduce stalls and tavernas/snack bars within walking distance. Weather was beautiful - not too hot and comfortable for sleeping. We wish Fida and Chris every success for the future and look forward to visiting again one day.

real filoxenia
It was such a pleasure to be welcomed so warmly and with such practical treats waiting us indoors. And to be show round the beaches, shops and tavernas by locals was such a useful and kind way to start a really relaxing holiday. And so good to have the occasional update or suggestion of places to go. It had been such a shame to cancel our 2020 trip to Koroni but the Goatshed was worth the wait. You have taken such care to provide every last little thing and still managed to keep things simple. I never thought I would put on a white towelling robe after an outdoor shower in Greece! We wish you a lovely long rest of the summer and will think longingly of the birds and bees and flowers. And of the sea and mountains. And of your kindness : real filoxenia.

A very special Goat Shed
Wonderful quirky property created and cared for by the utterly magnificent Fida and Chris. The Goat Shed is about a 15 minute walk down hill to a lovely local beach, walk back uphill takes a tad longer; similarly the walk into Koroni town along the "ridge" takes about 20 minutes with splendid views either side of the ridge. For other beaches or exploring further afield then do hire a small car. Property is best suited for a couple but can accommodate a third, ideally a child; ours being a 13 year old. Great facilities in the property, all you need really. And you will feel deliciously welcomed on arrival. Chris and Fida made us feel like one of their family. A very special couple and a very special Goat Shed. Enjoy!

Absolutely magical!
I pushed open an old iron gate into a corner of paradise! It's just so pretty and so full of charm. Sitting on the terraces gazing over the meadow to the mountains and the sea.....lying in bed watching the butterflies on the flowers are the sun rises over the mountains......pottering around the lovely little kitchen....squeezing fresh picked oranges for breakfast......strolling into gorgeous Koroni (not swanky....not tawdry....just fab!) cycling to the beach, exploring ancient ruins...It was all heavenly. It's so easy and so comfortable and happiness inducing! Not the grandest house I have ever stayed in but definitely one of the most delightful! I had very high expectations after reading a rave review in the Guardian and they were far exceeded.....go to the Polylimio waterfalls and Ancient Messina and the beaches on the way to Methoni.... An absolute highlight was the loveliness and generosity of Chris and Fida who who were interesting and wonderful hosts...thank you so much for the tour and the hospitality and the fun.......I'm dreaming of the next visit Thank you so much Fida and Chris ( and the Guardian contributor!!)

Best spring break ever
We beat the crowds after having booked the Goatshed just before The Guardian published a raving review, and we had a wonderful spring break staying for 10 days looked after professionally by Fida and Chris, our amazing hosts. The Goatshed is the most lovely, well equipped and tastefully refurbished cottage with everything you need! We most adored the outdoor seating area with seaviews of Mani, across a meadow in fill bloom, and the neighbours goats. The walk to Koroni is so amazing, and the little town itself a haven of peace, which allows to lean back and watch the world go by. Until next year!....

Perfect escape
The property is so beautifully designed and kitted out, with lots of salvaged pieces, furniture made by owner Chris, beautiful textiles and lovely china in the kitchen. It overlooks a meadow with lots of wildflowers and feels incredibly secluded and private. Fida and Chris were lovely hosts who drove us around the area on the first day, pointing out good places to eat, walk or swim. It's really easy to walk into Koroni where there are lots of restaurants and the big, long Zaga Beach is about ten minutes walk away. We had a really wonderful time relaxing here, watching the swallows and listening to the bees buzz by day and the bats flitting around in the evening. It's a real gem of a place to stay, in a beautifully rural corner of Greece.

A perfect stay.
Fida and Chris amazing hosts, personable, helpful and caring. I can’t say enough, I was late by about 6 hours, they inquired about my well being repeatedly, came out to meet me because by then it was dark and guided me to the Goat Shed. The Goat Shed was everything and more. It was clean, uniquely but very tastefully decorated, some real talent and skill went into the design and decor. The nearby town of Koroni is very scenic with excellent cafes and restaurants. Fida and Chris took me on a tour of the town and showed me the best spots along with a couple hidden beaches that were gems. There was food and drink waiting when I got there, I can’t say how much that meant for a weary traveller. 10 out of 10 for this cottage and the fabulous hosts.

wonderful time
Simply had a lovely time at the Goatshed. The weather was warm as was the sea, so swimming every day for as long as you like. That's pretty good for October. The cottage was quirky and charming as per the photos and very well equipped so we were needing for nothing and could cook up anything. The wet room shower was pure luxury. Its a 20 minute gentle stroll into Koroni, and ten minutes to the beach. Toured around and (IMHO) definitely thought Koroni a cut above Methoni and Pylos as its nice and compact and unspoilt by tourism. A hillside fort on the promontory, harbourside Tavernas and a nice selection of shops and artisanal. Beaches all along both north and south so if the wind or waves blow one way you hop over the other side. Simples! Chris and Fida were 5 star hosts and not just met to direct us to the house, but took us on a tour of the peninsular, secluded coves, the local shops, street stalls and other handy tips about the area. They we also great neighbours for a chat and a glass. Perfect.
