The Patrick and Joan Leigh Fermor House
The Patrick and Joan Leigh Fermor House
The concept: History and Luxury
The Patrick & Joan Leigh Fermor House is considered one of the most beautiful and luxurious properties in the Peloponnese. Within a Mediterranean garden of cypress trees, olive trees, and wildflowers stands this stone-built estate, which accommodates up to ten guests in privacy and comfort. Boasting a generous alfresco area, a private pool, high-end amenities, and direct access to a pebbly beach, the villa invites you to settle into a haven of beauty and quiet luxury.
Outdoors
The alfresco area becomes your private paradise during your stay. The lush garden feels like a park, with many lounge spots framed by mature planting and the shimmer of the Messinian Gulf. Amidst the olive trees, your private pool with loungers waits for late-afternoon dips after long summer days. Garden paths lead down to the pebbly shore for spontaneous swims, while the horizon holds steady from breakfast light to evening glow.
Indoors
The property has been renovated with attention to detail to preserve its original character. Rooms open toward the garden and sea, with comfortable dining spaces and simple, well-planned bedrooms. The house is divided into 3 buildings – the main villa, the traditional house, and the guest house – each with modern comforts, supporting seclusion when desired. There are 5 ensuite bedrooms, as well as multiple living areas for unwinding.
Good to know
The Patrick and Joan Leigh Fermor House is a historical building, once the home of Sir Patrick Leigh Fermor, universally known as Paddy, a renowned scholar and lifelong admirer of Greece. He built this property to spend his later years here with his wife. Today, the sensitively renovated estate offers a rare residential experience, complemented by warm, authentic Greek hospitality.
