This must be the best place to stay in Agios Nikolaos, if not the entire Mani. Superb location, in the midst of things, yet peaceful, lovely views, charming garden. The house is spacious and very well equipped. Expectations were high, but the reality surpassed even these. Thank you to Aristides and family.Rosemary2016-09-06T00:00:00Z
The house was one of the best that we have ever stayed in. It was extremely well furnished, extensively equipped and very comfortable with lovely views over the town harbour and the mountains beyond. Anna who looks after it was cheerful and helpful and lives nearby. It is very close to the town centre but because there is only a footpath in front of the house, it is quiet. Agios Nikolaos is very pretty with all the amenities you could want - shops, bars and eight or so tavernas and the local people were extremely hospitable. The countryside around is worth exploring, particularly if you have a head for heights! Overall we had a lovely, restful holiday and would have no hesitation in recommending both the house and the location. David & Jo NobleDavid2016-09-18T00:00:00Z
I have just arrived back from a weeks stay at this amazing house as described "seaside jewel in the heart of Mani' Agios Nikolaos is a small friendly fishing village with several restaurants and bars serving delicious foods and good service. To wake every morning to the sound of the sea and to see the local fishing boats chugging out of the harbour is a recipe for a relaxing holiday. The weather was beautiful, sea so blue and clear, swimming unforgettable. Aristides supplied all the information I needed and was very helpful. The house is beautiful clean, well equipped and a family home. I would recommend this property without hesitation and hope to return myself soon. Thank youKaren2016-07-04T00:00:00Z
We enjoyed a wonderful week here in September. The house is charming, very comfortable and well equipped. Its position overlooking the sea and only a few metres from the picturesque harbour with its fishing boats could not be bettered. Opening the shutters in the morning to see the sun rising over the mountains and the sea was a very special bonus! Also the garden area overlooking the sea is great for sunbathing and sundowners. Aristides always quickly responded to any questions and gave us much useful information. One can swim off the rocks close to the house which was very welcome in the heat (there is diving board and steps to get back out).There are several restaurants around the harbour with good food. We particularly enjoyed excellent fresh fish at the Hidden Garden. As a small fishing village Agios Nikolaos doesn't feel over touristy (unlike the nearby resort of Stoupa) and we felt it was a fantastic place to step off the world for a week. Having a car we were able to visit the mountains and some lovely villages and beaches in the vicinity.John2015-09-21T00:00:00Z
Ideal location with amazing view,everything on your doorstep yet a heaven of tranquility!!!!pascale2016-07-14T00:00:00Z
I had a very enjoyable and relaxing stay at Sophia's lovely home. The home provided an extremely comfortable place to kick back in after a day of swimming. The A/C worked flawlessly and provided a great relief to the heat of the mid summer in Greece. The location and view are spectacular and one cannot ask for anything better. The house was hospital clean and had all the amenities. I had a great time there and would recommend it to anyone. The host was extremely accommodating in regards to our dates and very accessible to answer all of my questions and requests. She provided me with answers to any of my questions promptly and with great detail. This was my first experience with Airbnb and it was outstanding.Corina2015-08-05T00:00:00Z
Aristides' home is wonderful. The pictures don't do it justice, even though they look great - when we walked in we were bowled over with how stunning the living area is. The ceilings are so high and it's decorated in such a classy way. The kitchen is well equipped, the air con works really well (you barely need to use it as it cools the house down within minutes and it stays cool). It's also really quiet even if it's windy outside. The terrace is a lovely place to sunbathe, eat, and look out at the view. You can swim directly from it by stepping down onto a rocky beach, though it is shallow and very rocky! Just around the corner there are steps down into the sea which are amazing for swimming (also a great spot for watching the sunsets). The village is a gorgeous sleepy fishing village but it has lots of life - locals filling the tavernas even at the end of October. We'd also recommend visits to Kardamyli, Limeni and Trachila. It's a gorgeous part of the world. Lastly Aristides is a great host - he replies very quickly and was very helpful for us. We'd go back in a heartbeat and hope to soon!kitty2016-10-29T00:00:00Z
It's was a terrific house. We have loved to live in this house ( great decoration, amazing location,very comfortable and nice terrasse, beautiful view). We 've reallly enjoyed.Elisabeth2015-07-18T00:00:00Z

Lovely, character house in a tranquil location with private parking and more outdoor space than expected. Kirki's family are very friendly without being too imposing and made us feel very welcome throughout. Easy walk to the beach and local tavernas. Highly recommended.Andy2015-09-20T00:00:00Z
Kirki's house was perfect: very comfortable, spacious and equipped with absolutely everything we needed. Very conveniently located for all Stoupa has to offer, and in a quiet (except for church bells on Sundays), mostly local Greek neighbourhood. Lydia and Christos, Kirki's parents, who live next door were so friendly and helpful (thanks for the walnuts, pizza and for taking our washing in). We will definitely use Kirki's house when we visit Stoupa again. Thanks so much for helping us have such a brilliant holiday.Sally2015-10-31T00:00:00Z
Het huisje is op slechts 5 minuten lopen van het strand. Het is voldoende ruim voor 4 personen (2 x een tweepersoonsbed). Er zijn twee additionele slaapplaatsen in de woonkamer (een bed en een slaapbank). De moeder van Kirki woont in het naastgelegen huis, speekt geen Engels, maar is zeer behulpzaam en vriendelijk en heeft een heerlijke fetataart voor ons gebakken. Het terras van het huisje lijkt iets te veel op een parkeerplaatsMarcel2016-10-23T00:00:00Z
The place was perfect and Kirki was very responsive and nice about us arriving late at night and two hours after we originally thought we would arrive.Yishai2017-02-09T00:00:00Z
A great experience both for the comfortable house very large with all conveniences and for the warm welcome of kirki's mother. It is as if you are greek people. You find here all what you can hope when you travel abroad. Stoupa is also a nice area with nice beach and restaurants. So don't hesitate to choose kirki's house, and enjoy.laurence2015-07-13T00:00:00Z
Lovely and peaceful place to spend your vacation days.no sea view but very close( less than ten minutes walking) to Stoupa and Kalogria beach. Except of Kirki we really appreciated her family attitude , in every chance just faced us as real guest of them. Even kirki's younger sister Danai offered as her homemade crepes with Nutella ... :-) highly recommend this place, ideal house for couples, families or just friends.dimitris2015-07-08T00:00:00Z
Kirki's place was lovely and so convenient. We were met by her lovely mother and had everything we needed. Stoupa is a great place to visit and the house is very close to the beach. Highly recommended!Liz2015-07-03T00:00:00Z
Kirki and her Mum and sister are wonderful. They are completely attentive end extremely kind. They went out of their way to find a baby cot that we had asked if they could provide. Not only was it a real wooden cot but they provided a high chair and toys too.!We arrived late and were met by Kirki's mother. As I was trying to work out what we were all going to eat late at night there was a knock on the door and the most delicious moussaka arrived! I cannot begin to say how grateful I was for Kirkis mothers kindness and generosity! ...she also made some freshly baked bread for us! The house is much bigger inside than the photos show, it is well equipped and in a lovely location. Stoupa is great, far less touristy than Kardamili! I highly recommend.Emma2014-10-24T00:00:00Z

Very nice and peaceful place. We enjoyed it very much and highly recommend staying there!Liki2015-04-08T00:00:00Z
Le logement et le jardin avec sa terrasse sont très agréables et la proximité avec la plage est un atout supplémentaire. Beaucoup de documentation sur place (guides et ouvrages sur la Grèce), des livres, des disques, des jeux agrémentent également le séjour. De plus des parasols, des nattes de plage et des vélos sont à disposition. Gythio tout prêt (5 minutes en voiture) est une ville animée.Patrice2016-08-14T00:00:00Z
Jean's house is marvelous, the terrasse heads towards the laconic gulf and the garden offers lots of shady places to sit, read, eat, contemplate. It is 10 walking minutes away from the sea and from 3 tavernas. We had a most agreable time at Jean's. GREAT HOST!Alexander2015-07-12T00:00:00Z
We had an absolutely amazing time in Jean's home in Mavrovouni. The house is in a great location with a beautiful large garden surrounding it. We were staying with 5 people, which meant that there was not much privacy (one double bedroom, three beds in the living room) but we did not think this was a problem at all, especially because we spent most of the time outside anyway. The house has everything you need, from sheets and towels to a well-equipped kitchen. Despite no aircon, the presence of fans made the heat more than bearable. My favourite part of the house was the outdoors shower, with stunning views of the sea! I would highly recommend a stay at Jean's house in Mavrovouni to anyone who might consider it.Renee2016-07-24T00:00:00Z
Nachdem wir von dem sehr sympathischen Gärtner des Hauses dorthin begleitet wurden und r alles Notwendige erklärt war, hatten wir vom ersten Augenblick das Gefühl, dass dies nur perfekte Ferien werden können; der Blick vom Haus und der Terasse auf die Bucht ist bombastisch, das Ganze umgeben von einem wunderschön gestalteten Garten in dem man jeder Zeit ein schattiges oder sonniges Plärtzchen finden und herrlich entspannen kann. Das Haus ist sehr gemütlich eingerichtet und die Küche war so, wie sie unseren Wünschen entspricht. Es war eine Freude dort zu kochen und hinterher auf der Terasse alles mit dem entsprechenden Blick zu genießen. Von den benachbarten Häusern bekommt man kaum etwas mit und es war angenehm still. Der Strand ist leicht zu Fuß zu erreichen und das Wasser wunderbar sauber und die Umgebung bezaubernd. Die Lage ist günstig um Ausflüge in die Umgebung zu unternehmen, Besichtigungstouren zu machen und wäre es etwas kühler gewesen, sicher auch geeignet um schöne Wanderungen zu erleben. Es gib natürlich auch einige sehr gute Tavernen in Githion, falls man mal nicht selber kochen möchte. Wir haben und sehr wohl gefühlt und sind bestens gerüstet für den Hamburger Herbst. Wir wissen schon, dass wir gerne einmal wieder kommen würden.Susanne2015-09-25T00:00:00Z

Comfort: It's a very big apartment with plenty of place for 4 a 6 guests. The kitchen is on the small side, but you have everything you need to make a simple lunch or dinner and you can also use a bbq on the outside of the apartment. Besides that, the owners deliver pure olive oil and pot of olives from the owners garden to use. The furniture style is from the 70-80's but in very good state. (9) Location: For the visitors with car and if you want to enjoy the beautiful beach of Mavrovouni this is a great place to stay. (10) Facilities: In the apartment you can use a billiard table and fitness bike, you have a TV with many programs ( we didn't test it), Internet connection is ok. (10) Clean: The apartment rooms are clean, the kitchen also. Because of the strict owner rules, about sand on your shoes and towels inside the apartment, we were surprised about the bathroom because this was not good cleaned after the last guests. We have found too much hair on the floor and in the douche. A few corners of the douche inside and outside were not good cleaned. (7) Owners: Costas and Eva are nice, english speaking, owners of this apartment. We didn't meet Angie. They have told us clear and strict rules about how we have to use the apartment. These are also noticed on the airbnb website. For me it was too strict, but it can be my own feeling.Vladimir2016-07-12T00:00:00Z
We are a family of four, have stayed at the apartment for 9 nights. Costas met us outside of town and lead us back to the house. The apt is in the basement of a large house surrounded by a vast olive and orange tree garden. You are strongly advised to use mosquito protection inside and outside. The house located 100 meters from a lovely beach. The beach was a bit stony not sandy, the sea is not shallow it goes deep very quickly. Beds & umbrellas are free of charge. The apartment is spacious with a fully equipped kitchen, 3 bedrooms are good size, comfortable beds, lots of storage. Costas & his wife Eva were very friendly & helpful. Eva helped us with laundry and everything else that we needed. we used BBQ provided, which was nice. Washing machine would be nice to do your own washing. We had a great time, thank you Costas & Eva.Lena2016-07-29T00:00:00Z
Great place, great house, great hosts. We've spent wonderful week at Angie's apartment. It's very well equipped and interior is fabulous. The house is super close to wonderful beach, so we enjoyed sea any time day&night. From the place it's easy to get to all southern Peloponnese by car just in one or two hours. Me with my friends are very appreciated to Angie and her family for being friendly, welcoming and hospitable hosts. Love Airbnb for that :-) Hope come back one day!Andrey2013-07-27T00:00:00Z
Really Nice place cool and cosy. Host were really kind with us. A place to be in this lovely townMatteo2016-07-17T00:00:00Z
This apt is really top-notch if you are after a quiet and relaxed beach holiday in a rural setting yet at a comfort level very close to what you are used to at home in a larger city. The apt is in the basement of a large house surrounded by a vast olive and orange tree garden. The house belongs to Costa and Eva, the hosts, a very thoughtful and hospitable, English-speaking couple. Staying in the basement, you have your own entrance with a designated parking place just beside, and an ample space with three equipped bedrooms and a large living room, a small kitchen and a bathroom with a shower. Since it is a basement, there are only small windows on one side of the living room and in one of the bedrooms - so you need lights on in the apt at all times. The bed in the window-bedroom which we used is very large and comfortable, there is plenty of shelf space. Although the windows and the entrance door are equipped with mosquito nets, you are strongly advised to use mosquito protection inside. The kitchen is ok, a bit too small for two persons being there at once. There are two small fridges (maybe too small if you are more than two people) and one freezer. There is a quiet sandy beach some 100 metres away from the house. The hosts offer complementary beach chairs and a beach umbrella which is strongly recommended! Actually these arrangements make the whole beach life way easier. The toilet in the bathroom seems leaking from time to time, but this seemed a minor inconvenience against the background of a careless beach holiday. We are very grateful to Costa and Eva for having us in their house for two weeks and helping make our Greek holiday truly unforgettable.Dmitrijs2015-07-06T00:00:00Z
Friendly hosts that picked us up from Gytheio, nice apartment, quiet location, clean, plenty of things to do inside (billiards, darts, TV, Wi-Fi, etc.), quiet beach literally a few steps out back. Great place to write a book or read a book.Chris2012-10-12T00:00:00Z
Angie, and her parents are AMAZING! I really enjoyed my stay in Mavrovouni, Mani. My family is from Mani, and I love love love Mavrovouni. Kostas and Eva are beautiful people who go out of their way to make sure you have a great stay. :) We didn't have a car unfortunately, but we walked from our air b n b to Gythio town, and that is about a 45 to 50 min walk. I do suggest renting a car so you can get around. You must see Caves of Diros, Skala, Gythio Town, and make sure to rent some bikes. Thank you very much to Kostas, Eva, and Angie for a lovely stay. I hope to see you guys again soon. Polla Filia, Krystina & LarryTina2016-09-20T00:00:00Z
Angie y su familia son encantadores y muy hospitalarios. El apartamento es impresionante, amplio y con todas las comodidades posibles. La playa está a 100m así que no es necesario coger el coche, a no ser que se desee explorar las preciosas playas que hay por la zona. Sin duda, la mejor estancia que he tenido hasta ahora. Es un placer hospedarse con ellos, tanto por el lugar como por el trato recibido.Cristina2012-08-27T00:00:00Z

May 2016 The Lavender's Villa was our rescue. We missed our flight back home and needed a new place to stay with our 2 year old daughter. Within two hours we could move in! The cleaning lady and her husband let us in. She prepared the place in a flash and he tried to explain a few things in poor English - extremely nice people, eager to please. So are the hosts, we could contact them any time and they helped in any way possible. The place is truly nice. Not only a house, but a home, lovingly decorated in beach- stile. Perfect for families with small children. There is not one step on the ground floor, the garden is safe and fully fenced the stairs are barred with stairgates. You find some toys in the children's room and there is even a children's toilet seat. There are three medium-small bathrooms, each one with a toilet, but only one shower with a cubicle. The house seems brand new, modern, everything was clean. All bedrooms have aircondition to cool or heat. You find plenty of pillows and blankets, beddings and towels. The kitchen offers everything you need including a dishwasher. Unfortunately there was no BBQ Grill. The garden is very nice. But nature induces itself in many ways and centipeds are a shady side and can become bothersome on the terrace and the ground floor, at least in spring. On the other hand there were hardly any mosquitos. The view is stunning. The position of the house is quiet – you need a car or a bike to go anywhere, but you reach it within minutes. The picturesque small village offers taverns, cafes and a small supermarket. The nearest convenient beach is a mix of sand and stones, sunbeds are provided and a bar serves cold beverages. For some more tourist action you need to go to Stoupa or Kardamili, but generally speaking the Mani is a rather quiet holiday resort. We really loved our stay and we will come back!Florian2016-05-09T00:00:00Z
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans cette charmante maison avec tout le confort moderne. La maison est très bien conçue, nous n'avons jamais souffert de la chaleur. Il y a des moustiquaires partout, (nous n'avons pas été piqué une seule fois ) ce qui permet de dormir très agréablement avec les fenêtres ouvertes.Pour ceux qui le souhaite, il y a la climatisation dans les chambres mais malgré que nous étions là en juillet, la proximité de la mer fait que nous n'en avons pas eu besoin. La maison est à peine 400 m de la plage et à 1 km ( 1 petite min en voiture) d'une petite plage privée DE REVE!!!! la plus jolie que nous ayons vu pendant nos 15 jours dans le Péloponnèse. On y trouve des transats bien espacés les uns des autres, une douche chaude, un petit restaurant ou vous pouvez déguster de délicieux produits locaux pur 3 fois rien, un accueil charmant et il y a moyen d'y voir de jolis poissons. Cette proximité de la plage fait que nous n'avons absolument pas ressenti le besoin d'une piscine. La terrasse de la maison est très bien située. Vous pouvez manger à l'ombre à n 'importe quelle heure en admirant unpaysage magnifique de tous côtés et la terrasse de l'étage vous permettra de prendre l'apéritif en regardant un magnifique couché de soleil sur la mer. Quel bonheur que de se réveiller chaque matin en voyant la mer en face de soi. Le petit port d 'Agios Nikolaos est vraiment pittoresque et nous y avons pris des repas délicieux. La maison est bien située comme point de départ pour des visites ( Kardamili, Mytra, Ithomi, Aéropolis...)Sophie2016-07-24T00:00:00Z
Communication with our host was great. They offered helpful suggestions and advice for places to visit and to eat at, and helped us to find the property. Descriptions were all very accurate, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The many cats in the neighbourhood soon adopted us and were a great source of entertainment. When our return flight was cancelled, our host was helpful in offering to let us extend our stay. Great experience overallPenny2016-10-10T00:00:00Z

Absolutely amazing experience! The house was brand new, fully equipped and really kids friendly. The garden was safe for the kids and the dog to play. There were 3 bathrooms, towels enough for everyone, dishwasher and even a baby chair for food. The hostess was really kind and helpful. We will surely come back!Katerina2016-08-06T00:00:00Z
Lovely house, 5 min walk to a little cove for a swim and a great jumping off point for the area (you need a car). Kitchen has everything you could need and the outside table is a lovely place to sit in the evening. Perhaps we were lucky, but hardly any mosquitos - unlike when we stayed in Kardamyli. Great views to all sides, in an olive grove. Georgios very helpful and responsive.James2016-08-26T00:00:00Z

...Stavroula, is such a nice host. Friendly and so helpful with erverything. Thank you so much for your hospitality!Niki2016-03-31T00:00:00Z
Thanks to Stavroula and her father for making us feel very welcome. The villa was as described and met all our needs for our 1 week stay. The proximity to the harbour front, tavernas, mini-supermarket and Gnospi swimming point all made for a supreme location. The bed was very comfortable. The Greek plumbing meant for a poor shower pressure occasionally, but within 15 minutes it would be working again.Stephen2016-08-08T00:00:00Z
Stavroula was the perfect host. Her instructions for finding the house were clear and she was there to meet us at arrival. The home was lovely--just as described and pictured. You could even see and hear the sea from the bedroom and its balcony. Stavroula's enthusiasm to ensure we felt welcome and well taken care of was far beyond any normal airbnb experience. She made us feel like family (and in fact we met her family while dining at her sister Elli's restaurant.) The village is perfect for exploring the Mani peninsula. The village has a nice grocery and several restaurants, including an AMAZING taverna (Elli's) that we ate at on four different occasions. The food and service there were spectacular and all for an affordable price. You are only about 15 minutes drive from Kardamili and located amidst olive groves. It is quiet and peaceful, but with everything you need. Wonderful hiking for all levels can be found throughout the area--we even found an incredibly detailed map at the local grocery in Kardimili. I highly recombine you stay her if you will be exploring the Mani peninsula, or just want a beautiful and stress-free getaway.Ann2016-01-11T00:00:00Z
Gardenia is is a very well equipped house which is part of a complex of several traditionally built stone houses set in an olive grove. Many of the original olive trees remain around the houses providing privacy and seclusion to each home. The houses are furnished in a traditional Greek homely style. We found our accommodation at Petrinos Villas a very comfortable and restful place to be. Close by are the restaurants and shops of Agios Nikolaos where you can buy all necessary foods and fresh bread. Stavroula is a very friendly and committed host. She called by regularly to see if we had all we needed. The house was cleaned regularly for us and fresh linen provided. We were also presented with a gift of olive oil from the family olive groves along with pasta, salt and oregano. Stavroula also made sure we had clear directions to help us find the house and was waiting to greet us on arrival. We highly recommend the houses at Petrino Villas for their atmosphere and Greek 'feel'. Each house can accommodate extra guests on sofa beds if needed and are very well equipped for self catering.sharon2016-04-12T00:00:00Z

Ada est venue nous chercher dans le village pour nous accompagner dans sa villa. Elle nous a laissé sa maison avec des oranges et des pamplemousses de sa production et son potager à disposition. C'était comme si on était chez nous. J'oubliais de dire qu'elle nous avait préparé de quoi prendre le petit-déjeuner le matin (dont un cake maison).

Ada had the fridge full of her own delicious oranges and homemade apricot jam. The house is stunning with the most amazing views and the sunrise in the mornings is well worth setting the alarm for. Ada also had mosquito plugs with tablets. She went out of her way to make us welcome. The house is approx a 20 minute walk from the town so a car is probably desirable especially on very hot days. Githio is a lovely town and a great place to start a tour of the rugged Mani peninsula.Bernadine2016-08-06T00:00:00Z
We loved our stay at Ada's beautiful house in Githio. Ada was very welcoming and did all she possibly could to make our visit run smoothly for us. The house was as described. We loved its unique layout, which seemed to make the most of its location. The view over the sea from the veranda was breath taking, and the outside area at the other side of the house provided a more sheltered and, normally, shadier area when required. There is lots of choice among comfortable sitting areas, inside and out. Githio is a spectacular small port town, with a good choice of well located eating places, but certainly not over touristic. We spent a lot of our time visiting the Mani, looking for quiet places to swim, (nearby to the south), which we loved.Howard2016-06-03T00:00:00Z
My family and I had a wonderful stay at Ada's house. The view is breath taking, the house very confortable and Ada is a kind and wonderful host. We discovered the Peloponnese during this trip and felt in love with it. Githio is the perfect location to explore around. Also, thanks for the very helpful customer map of the Mina penisula made by Ada :)Florent2016-12-28T00:00:00Z

Great cottage on the mountain! Great views. TV not functioning that well.Tomas2016-07-05T00:00:00Z
The view, the view, the view. It's the only reason you need to stay at this lovely stone house. I loved Stoupa, the nearest village by the sea. The village where the house is situated is also beautiful if you bother to walk through the old part. The road to the house was in bad condition when we visited but George told us that's just temporary.Lennart & Frederike2016-10-23T00:00:00Z
Ένα όμορφο και καθαρό σπίτι, σε μια πραγματικά ήσυχη τοποθεσία. Απαιτείται οπωσδήποτε αυτοκίνητο για πρόσβαση στην οικία. Το σπίτι είναι επαρκώς εξοπλισμένο, με μόνη επιθυμητή αλλαγή, ένα μεγαλύτερο ψυγείο. Ο Γιώργος είναι φιλικός οικοδεσπότης και πρόθυμος για κάθε βοήθεια. Θα πρότεινα την διαμονή σε αυτή την οικία.Γιάννης2016-08-27T00:00:00Z

Nice little stone house, ideal with kids too as it is all on the ground floor. If you love sunsets, search no more this is the place for you - the sight of the sea and the sunset is spectacular from here. Host replies within a minute and everything is as described. Had cleanness issues. The garden is just like on the photos, small and cozy, with excellent scent after a rain.Viktor2016-10-19T00:00:00Z

Our very first Airbnb experience - and it could not have been more perfect. The host was communicative and helpful, sadly we didn't have the chance to meet in person but everything went smooth all the same. The housekeepers are ready to help in literally a minute. The house was in mint condition, and I mean absolutely clean ! Like it was said before, it is actually even more beautiful than on the photos. Love the sun terrace, especially that it had high enough stone walls - we were traveling with our 1 and 3 year old kids so we didn't need to worry about their safety. If you want to spend a holiday close to a village, yet in the same time in a silent, relaxing, green olive yard with dry stone walls, this is the place for you.Viktor2016-10-15T00:00:00Z
The arrangements and fast replies were very accurate. The location is perfect, very quiet, but in 6 minutes at the beautifull Stoupa beach. Appartment was very wel organised and very clean. Road description and keay transfer very smooth. Only positive remarks.Wim2015-09-21T00:00:00Z
We stayed at Andreas' place with our little boy Felix. He was so excited when the host opened the 'toy cupboard' to reveal all the great house and beach entertainment in store for him during his stay. Being a keen cook I was very impressed by how well the kitchen was equipped in particular how sharp the knives were (excellent attention to quality!) The house is up a stoney track just off the road between Neochori and Pyrgos. It is surrounded by olive groves and is very tranquil. Turn right out of the track and an array of beautiful Messenian beaches are all yours. Turn left and enter the charming world of the Taygetus mountains with wonderful wildlife and mazy Byzantine villages Just a few hundred yards down the road is the sweet pastry shop of the beautiful sister's Sophia and Athena. I challenge you to eat one of their ice cream stuffed baklava cones and not go back for another and another and another etc. The worst thing about the house was leaving, we wanted to stay much longer. Thanks Andreas.Nick2016-07-09T00:00:00Z
We didn't have the chance to meet Andreas but he made as feel like home in his way!His house was cozy and sweet, clean, quiet and well equipped! Greek hospitality from an Austrian guy and his family! Thank you Andreas!ΓΙΑΝΝΑΚΟΥΛΙΑ2015-08-16T00:00:00Z
Da unser Vermieter Andreas selbst nicht vor Ort lebt, hat er Reinigung und Schlüsselübergabe an eine in Griechenland lebende Deutsche die Schwarzwälderin Manuela übergeben, von der wir viel Interessantes und Wissenswertes erfahren durften. Wir fanden ein super sauberes, modernes Haus vor mit separatem WC, hübschen Bad mit gut funktionierender warmer Dusche, einem Kinderzimmer mit Etagenbett, Schlafzimmer mit guten Matratzen und Moskitonetz und einer voll ausgestatteten Küche. Angetan hat es uns der super Blick von der schönen Terrasse über die Berge, Höhlen und über´s Meer und der tägliche Traum-Sonnenuntergang. Die Außendusche ermöglichte ein Abkühlen, auch wenn man nicht vom Berg an den recht vollen, kleinen Strand in Stoupa fahren wollte. Wer ursprüngliches Griechenland ohne TV und Internet aber mit dem Muli zu Besuch im Garten und netten Tavernen in gut erreichbaren alten Bergdörfern sucht, ist hier goldrichtig. Was selten in der Fremde passiert: Wir haben uns vom ersten Moment an rundherum wohl gefühlt! Auf unserer Rundtour mitten im August hatten wir verschiedenste Unterkünfte gebucht - diese war die Schönste für uns! Danke Andreas für die wunderschöne Zeit bei dir!Bjarne2015-08-25T00:00:00Z
Lovely stone house, very conveniently located 2km from Stoupa, great sea view from the veranda. The host was polite and very easy to communicate with and make relevant arrangements and l the house had everything you would need to have a lovely time. Both the villages and the beaches near are the best in the area. The house is slightly better than in the pictures (has a great sea view). Would definitely recommend and would love to returnNiki2015-07-30T00:00:00Z
Die Schlüsselübergabe klappte perfekt, Manuela hat uns unterwegs abgeholt und uns ans Häuschen begleitet. Das Haus ist sehr gut eingerichtet, Küche und Möbel sind prima. Auf der oberen Terrasse hat man eine tolle Aussicht auf die Olivenbäume und das Meer. Die Zufahrt zum Häuschen ist steinig und nur im Schritttempo möglich, aber trotzdem gut befahrbar. Wir haben die Ferien im Stonehouse sehr genossen.Eberhard2016-09-01T00:00:00Z

Our stay at Olga's place was fantastic. The house was beautiful, perfectly equipped and very conveniently located. Agios Nicolaos is a small and intimate village with some very nice restaurants and bars. Very nice beaches nearby. Olga and her family were excellent hosts, they made us feel very much at home. We also spent some time with them during our stay there. We do hope to go back there one day.Astrid2016-08-19T00:00:00Z

Everyone was incredibly welcoming, the house, set within a lemon grove, was just what we had hoped for. The pool, which was very large, and the grounds,were constantly attended and kept in immaculate condition. With the mountains as a backdrop and the sea glistening in the endless sunshine a short distance away, Labros provided us with a perfect setting for a wonderful holiday.Andy2016-07-04T00:00:00Z
El lugar era mucho mejor de como se ve en las fotos, nuestro anfitrión resultó ser una persona muy amable y gentil que, no sólo nos hizo sentir como en nuestra casa, sino que además nos ayudó a planear nuestros paseos. La piscina es espectacular! Volvería a Manyaticos y lo recomiendo especialmente.Monica2016-06-25T00:00:00Z
We had a lovely stay in Stoupa. The accommodation was clean and spacious with a great private balcony. The sheets and towels were changed regularly and everything was very clean. The kitchen had essential equipment in it. We weren't reliant on wifi but if you wanted it when in the apartment then it could be frustrating as it was not reliable. The pool was beautiful and maintained very well, alongside the rest of the grounds- we particularly enjoyed the fruit trees everywhere. The hosts were really welcoming and we were able to get some good local advice about local restaurants. If we had needed help in any way then I know the hosts would have been more than happy to help, but we enjoyed making our own explorations. The area is stunning with some challenging but stunning walk and some picturesque beaches. There is a lovely atmosphere in Stoupa in the evening and the restaurants are really good value for money and there's lots of choice. We had a car and were able to explore other good places to eat too outside of Stoupa. Many thanks for a lovely relaxing holiday. We have said that we will be back!Sarah2016-09-15T00:00:00Z
Tres bon accueil et super siteMathilde2016-08-11T00:00:00Z
We enjoyed our stay (during October) at the Maniatiko Village and would recommend the location to other travelers. It is worth noting that the houses are well spaced over the property, so it provides the very quiet atmosphere that you might be looking for, but it also means you're well away from the pool/restaurant. We suggested the hosts include a map of the area in the pictures to avoid confusion. Also note that the outside accommodation pictures that are shown in the description are not exactly the unit you may get. The houses are wonderful - clean, quiet and very comfortable. Note that the internet in the area is very shaky, so you shouldn't expect consistent wifi. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming with great suggestions.Jon/Melodie2016-10-18T00:00:00Z
The stone house accommodation was not the exact one shown in the Airbnb images, however it was of an equivalent standard. It was very clean and had all the facilities we required. The setting is just beautiful and peaceful with lots of flowering plants and two spotlessly clean and well-maintained pools with a very special view.Lynda2015-07-13T00:00:00Z

un petit havre de paix au sein du Mani. la maison de Spyros à Lagia est très accueillante. Nous avons été extrêmement bien reçus et avons passé un séjour enchanteur. la maison rénovée avec beaucoup de simplicité et d'authenticité est charmante. le village très agréable au milieu de paysages exceptionnels.claudine2014-08-20T00:00:00Z
The stay at Spyros` old tower-house in Mani peninsula was really great. The house is located in a beautiful village in the heart of Mani. We can say only the best things about the property and we sincerely hope we will be able to return to this wonderful place in the future. Spyros gave us clear directions and we were able to find the place without a problem. Highly recommended!Denis2016-07-31T00:00:00Z
Lagia is a wonderful place in mani. We enjoyed the stay very much. The old towerhouse is an very exceptional place- lots of space and a special way to live. The neighborhood: tavern and church complete the magical atmosphere of that place. A place, you would always like to return.ute ilse2016-10-12T00:00:00Z
It's a fantastic place. We don't meet Spyros but he was vary helpful and there is local keeper of this house (also name Spyros) who helped us . The house is just like on the pictures or better : big , cozy, clean and original. Village is non-touristic (with one local taverna ) also beautiful with sea view and mountain view. There are many empty beaches around (15 minutes by car) and many amazing places around. It was fantastic time for my family. Highly recommended.Krzysztof2014-07-05T00:00:00Z
Great place. Had a really great time exploring the area, living in an authentic stone tower , restored with great taste.Highly recommended for those who seek an non touristic experience in the harsh but too beautiful villages of ManiTassos2016-07-09T00:00:00Z
La casa di Spyros è davvero molto originale: alterna spazi ampi a passaggi angusti, un aspetto d'altri tempi a soluzioni d'arredo moderne. La zona giorno ospita una cucina bene attrezzata mentre i letti, di forme non convenzionali e con materassi sottili, risultano un po' spartani. Per la sue scale, i suoi stretti passaggi ed i numerosi gradini non la consiglierei ad anziani; va bene, invece, per persone sportive o che si sentono tali. Molto bene pulizia e comunicazione. Molto bene poter usare la lavatrice. Molto bene l'ubicazione che consente di raggiungere facilmente tutte le spiagge dell'estremo sud del Mani.Luciano2016-09-19T00:00:00Z
We were four adults for a week in Lagia. The house was really nice, and fully furnished (there are plenty of sheets, towels, cutlery, and even a barbecue with coal, washing machine) ; well, all things needed to make a real meal on the terrace. The house is cosy, roomy, and renovated with taste. Lagia is a nice spot to wander in south Mani : we spent a very nice week going to Porto Kaio, Gerolimenas, Vathia... Spyros and his friends are ready to help in a minute when there is a problem. The view from the village is astonishing, and its surroundings are worth to visit. So, in a word, we felt at home and we highly recommend the house.Olivier2014-07-26T00:00:00Z

We were shown around everything and offered a drink. An extra little camping gas stove was provided for cooking as facilties were a little limited. Plenty of plates etc however and a large fridge freezer. Air conditioning in the bedroom was very welcome. Spacious terrace with amazing view as described. Sleepy quiet village with several restaurants/cafes. One on the little beach too,right below the house. Fab.Martin2016-06-23T00:00:00Z
Our time in Kokkala was great! Sotiris was not there when we arrived but his mother gave us the keys of the house. The house, and in particular the big terrace, has a fantastic view in the small bay, and the sea is just one minute walk. The small bay is wonderful as well as the taverna facing it. I strongly recommend it!Chiara2016-07-30T00:00:00Z

The view from the veranda is stunning, couldn't get enough of sitting outside! Really enjoyed the restaurant by the beach, the location is also convenient as a base to explore the area and its unique villages and beaches. Sotiris was an excellent helpful host, thank you ! --------- Περάσαμε εξαιρετικά, το σπίτι είναι πανέμορφο με υπέροχη θέα και παραλία! Ευχαριστούμε!Jenny2016-07-03T00:00:00Z
Sotiris et sa famille nous ont reçu comme des amis, nous cinq, deux adultes et 3 enfants. La maman de Sotiris est toujours là pour nous saluer et nous aider éventuellement. Il y a toujours quelqu'un pour faire l'interprète. La disposition de l'appartement permet de profiter du cadre extraordinaire. Les chambres sont grandes, hautes de plafond et confortables. L'appartement est au dessus d'une crique-plage merveilleuse où le lever du soleil est fabuleux. Et le lever de lune... Simplement envie de ne pas repartir !

CONSISTENCY GIVES SHARP AN EDGE IN CLIMB TOWARD TOP SPOT INDIANAPOLIS, June 23, 1998 -- Scott Sharp was fourth on Lap 181 in the Indianapolis 500 last month when his car lost its transmission. He slipped to 16th by the time winner Eddie...
INDIANAPOLIS, June 23, 1998 -- Scott Sharp was fourth on Lap 181 in the Indianapolis 500 last month when his car lost its transmission. He slipped to 16th by the time winner Eddie Cheever Jr. took the checkered flag 19 laps later.
Not so hot, you say.
Well, it still was better than what happened to Tony Stewart and part of the reason the two drivers come to the New England 200 on June 28 at New Hampshire International Speedway tied for the lead in the Pep Boys Indy Racing League point standings with 115 each. While Sharp picked up only 14 points for his hard-luck finish, Stewart had engine problems one lap after taking the lead only 23 laps into the race and finished last, receiving a single point.
Move on to the True Value 500 earlier this month at Texas Motor Speedway for another example of why the two drivers, who won the first two races of the season, are deadlocked at the top.
Stewart led seven times for 57 laps at Texas and battled eventual winner Billy Boat for three-fourths of the race, but a split water tank on his radiator put him in the pits after 176 laps. He placed 14th and earned 19 points. Meanwhile, Sharp never led a lap and lost one but plugged along for a rewarding fifth place in the Delphi Automotive Systems Dallara/Aurora/Goodyear owned by Tom Kelley.
That finish delivered 30 points. So Sharp came out of the two races gaining 24 points on Stewart to earn the tie for the lead position in the standings and the Pep Boys Million bonus at the end of the season.
Sharp, a native of E. Norwalk, Conn., thinks durability of parts and pieces will determine the third Pep Boys IRL champion. He shared the initial three-race title in 1996 with Buzz Calkins.
"I certainly think reliability will play a vital factor," Sharp said. "We're never going to know until the last race how the reliability is going to play out, how the speed is going to play out. It is important to score points.
"We had a sixth and a fifth in not very good races. My team is ecstatic. I think we have better races to come ... better races for me and better races for my team."
Sharp, who won in February on the mile at Phoenix, hopes to become a two-time champion at New Hampshire. Sharp provided A.J. Foyt with his first victory as solely a car owner to start the 1996-97 IRL season in August 1996, winning on the track that he calls "a unique mile."
He notes that the 1.058-mile track has very long straightaways and tight corners. Instead of being an oval that allows flat-out driving, this one requires braking entering the turns.
"When you do that the (car) loads change," he said. "That brings a new element into the race.
"You have to slow pretty well in Turn 1 and Turn 3. You come all the way off the gas pedal and get your foot on the brake for a second."
Sharp feels confident entering the race because crew chief Mike Horvath has a good handle on the setups for the 1-mile tracks.
Sharp, son of six-time SCCA national road-racing champion Bob Sharp (he attends all of his son's races), considers the earlier victory at NHIS, his first in an Indy-type car, a highlight of his career.
"It was a very strange weekend," he said. "We weren't very competitive. Then before the race we changed everything and hit it pretty close. I charged throughout and kept coming back and coming back.
"Those are the days that are fun, when you don't think you're going to win and end up winning."
That victory in a turbocharged car and the win at Phoenix in the normally aspirated car put Sharp alongside Arie Luyendyk and Buddy Lazier as the only drivers to win in both IRL formulas. The league switched from turbocharged to normally aspirated engines in January 1997.
But the period between the two victories was not the best of times.
Sharp crashed during practice at Indy in 1997 and suffered a concussion that eliminated him from the race. He returned in late June at Pikes Peak and was the surprise pole winner. But he spun and backed into the Turn 2 wall on the race start and suffered another concussion. That ended his season.
"I felt fine two days out of the hospital in Colorado," Sharp said. "Then it was more about what the doctors said, having patience and waiting for it to heal. With both concussions, I never had headaches or dizziness.
"What was hardest was watching someone else in the car I had. I had to sit on the sidelines and watch."
Foyt decided to release Sharp at the end of the season. Sharp quickly signed on as Mark Dismore's teammate with Kelley Racing, a new team based in Fort Wayne, Ind. Sharp was faster than the track record during a preseason test session in January at Orlando, Fla. Then he drove to sixth place in the Indy 200 at Walt Disney World Speedway won by Stewart.
"There were so many rumors, so many questions," he said of his absence from racing during the second half of last year.
Sharp is trying to answer them all this season.

Gary Smith has won four National Magazine Awards—the highest honor a magazine writer can earn—and his stories have appeared in the annual Best American Sportswriting anthologies 13 times, the most by any writer. The late David Halberstam selected Smith's 1996 profile of Tiger Woods for the Best American Sportswriting of the Century.
Slate Magazine called Smith "not only the best sportswriter in America, he's the best magazine writer in America." A 2006 survey of Associated Press sports editors selected him as the country's top sportswriter. Two books have been published featuring his collected works: Beyond the Game: The Collected Sportswriting of Gary Smith and Going Deep: 20 Classic Sports Stories.
Smith began writing for SI in 1982. Before that he wrote for the Wilmington News-Journal, the Philadelphia Daily News, New York's Daily News and Inside Sports. His writing has also appeared in Rolling Stone, LIFE, Esquire and the Washington Post Sunday Magazine.
A Lewes, Del., native and one of nine children in his family, Smith graduated from La Salle University with a degree in English.

Pat Buchanan: America Needs No More Neo-Imperial NonsenseRoundup: Media's Take
The writer is a political commentator and a two-time candidate for the Republican nomination for president.
Triumphant in the first Gulf war, George H.W. Bush, in October 1991, went before the UN to declare that the US's goal was now to build a "New World Order".
Rejecting this as Wilsonian utopianism, my 1992 presidential campaign called for an end to US military intervention where no vital interest was imperilled, for federal action to secure our southern border and for a halt to the outsourcing of US manufacturing jobs.
We advocated a Hamiltonian policy to support industry and a Jeffersonian foreign policy of peaceful commerce with all nations but entangling alliances with none. And we were denounced as isolationists and protectionists.
We lost. But Mr Bush lost too, when Ross Perot, running on the same theme – putting America first – stripped away a third of the coalition Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan put together, leaving Mr Bush with an incumbent's smallest share of the vote since William Howard Taft.
Mr Bush's foreign policy record could not save him. The US was looking inward in 1992, as it does today. As Mitt Romney burnishes his foreign policy credentials this week, he should keep this lesson in mind...

I am an assistant professor (UD) at the Web & Media group at the Computer Science department of the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU). I am also a senior research fellow at Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision. In my research, I combine (Semantic) Web technologies with Human-Computer Interaction, Knowledge Representation and Information Extraction to tackle research challenges in various domains. These include Cultural Heritage, Digital Humanities and ICT for Development (ICT4D). More information on these projects can be found on this site or through my CV .
[Reading club] Dance in the World of Data and Objects
This is a first post in a new series on VU Semantic Web reading club. During this weekly reading club we discuss a research paper related to Semantic Web, Human Computation or Computer Science in general. Every week, one group member selects and prepares a paper to discuss. This week it was my time and I chose a paper from 2013: "Dance in the World of Data and Objects" by Katerina El Raheb and Yannis Ioannidis (full citation and abstract below). The paper presents the need for (OWL) ontologies for dance representation. A quite nice slide deck supporting the paper is found here.
Computer-interpretable knowledge representations for dance is something I have been thinking about for a while now. I am mostly interested in representations that actually match the conceptual level at which dancers and choreoraphers communicate and how these are related to low-level representations such as Labanotation. I am currently supervising two Msc students on this topic.
The paper by El Raheb and Ioannidis and our discussion afterwards outlined the potential use of such a formal representations for:
- Archiving dance and for retrieval. This is a more 'traditional' use of such representations in ICT for Cultural Heritage. An interesting effect of having this represented using standard semantic web languages is that we can connect deep representations of choreographers to highly heterogeneous knowledge about for example dance or musical styles, locations, recordings, emotions etc. An interesting direct connection could be to Albert Merono's RDF midi representations.
- For dance analysis. By having large amounts of data in this representation, we can support Digital Humanities research. Both in more distant reading, but potentially also more close analysis of dance. Machine learning techniques could be of use herer.
- For creative support. Potentially very interesting is to investigate to what extent representations of dance can be used to support the creative process of dancers and choreographers. We can think of pattern-based adaptations of choreographies.
Citation: El Raheb K., Ioannidis Y. (2013) Dance in the World of Data and Objects. In: Nesi P., Santucci R. (eds) Information Technologies for Performing Arts, Media Access, and Entertainment. Lecture Notes in Computer Science, vol 7990. Springer, Berlin, Heidelberg
Abstract: In this paper, we discuss the challenges that we have faced and the solutions we have identified so far in our currently on-going effort to design and develop a Dance Information System for archiving traditional dance, one of the most significant realms of intangible cultural heritage. Our approach is based on Description Logics and aims at representing dance moves in a way that is both machine readable and human understandable to support semantic search and movement analysis. For this purpose, we are inspired by similar efforts on other cultural heritage artifacts and propose to use an ontology on dance moves (DanceOWL) that is based on the Labanotation concepts. We are thus able to represent dance movement as a synthesis of structures and sequences at different levels of conceptual abstraction, which serve the needs of different potential users, e.g., dance analysts, cultural anthropologists. We explain the rationale of this methodology, taking into account the state of the art and comparing it with similar efforts that are also in progress, outlining the similarities and differences in our respective objectives and perspectives. Finally, we describe the status of our effort and discuss the steps we intend to take next as we proceed towards the original goal.

Web and Media at ICT.OPEN2017
On 21 and 22 March, researchers from VU's Web and Media group attended ICT.OPEN, the principal ICT research conference in the Netherlands. Here over 500 scientists from all ICT research disciplines & interested researchers from industry come together to learn from each other, share ideas and network. The conference featured some great keynote speeches, including one from Nissan's Erik Vinkhuyzen on the role of anthropological and sociological research to develop better self-driving cars. Barbara Terhal from Aachen University gave a challenging, but well-presented talk on the challenges regarding robustness for quantum computing.
As last year, the Web and Media group this year was well represented through multiple oral presentations with accompanying posters and demonstrations :
- Oana Inel, Carlos Martinez and Victor de Boer presented DIVEplus. Oana did such a good job presenting the project in the main programme (see Oana's DIVE+@ICTOpen2017 slides), through the demo and in front of a poster that the poster was selected as best Poster in the SIKS track.
- Benjamin Timmermans, Tobias Kuhn and Tibor Vermeij presented the Controcurator project with a demonstration and poster presentation. In the demo the ControCurator human-machine framework for identifying controversy in multimodal data is shown.
- Tobias Kuhn discussed "Genuine Semantic Publishing" in the Computer Science track on the first day. His slides can be found here. After the talk there was a very interesting discussion about the role of the narrative writing process and how it would relate to semantic publishing.
- Ronald Siebes and Victor de Boer then discussed how Big and Linked Data technologies developed in the Big Data Europe project are used to deliver pharmacological web-services for drug discovery. You can read more in Ronald's blog post.
- Benjamin Timmermans and Zoltan Zslavik also presented the CrowdTruth demonstrator, which is shown in this short demonstrator video.
- Sabrina Sauer presented the MediaNow project with a nice poster titled MediaNow – using a living lab method to understand media professionals' exploratory search.

Hands on BDE Health at ICT.OPEN 2017
[This post was written by Ronald Siebes and crossposted at big-data-europe.eu and wm.cs.vu.nl]
Last week, BigDataEurope was present at the principal ICT research conference in the Netherlands, ICT.OPEN, where over 500 scientists from all ICT research disciplines & interested researchers from industry come together to learn from each other, share ideas and network.
This is the first time that the NWO, the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research, added the "Health" track, a recognition of the increased importance of ICT in the domain of diagnosis, drug discovery and health-care. We presented a short paper written by Ronald Siebes, Victor de Boer, Bryn Williams-Jones, Kiera McNeice and Stian Soiland-Reyes covering the current state of the SC1 "Health, demographic change and well-being" pilot which implements the Open PHACTS functionality on the Big Data Europe infrastructure.
We succeeded to demonstrate the ease of use and practical value of the SC1 pilot for researchers in the domain of Drug Discovery and developers of Big Linked Data solutions and are looking forward to further strengthen our collaboration with the various. The paper was accepted as a poster presentation but also selected for an oral presentation at the "Health & ICT" track.

Speech technology and colorization for audiovisual archives
[This post describes and is based on Rudy Marsman's MSc thesis and is partly based on a Dutch blog post by him]
The Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision (NISV) archives Dutch broadcast TV and makes it available to researchers, professionals and the general public. One subset are the Polygoonjournaals (Public News broadcasts) that are published under open licenses as part of the OpenImages platform. NISV is also interested in exploring new ways and technologies to make interaction with the material easier and to increase exposure to their archives. In this context, Rudy explored two options.
One part of the research was the autonomous colorization of old black-and-white video footage using Neural Networks. Rudy used a pre-trained NN (Zhang et al 2016) that is able to colorize black and white images. Rudy developed a program to split videos into frames, colorize the individual frames using the NN and then 'stitch' them back together into colorized videos. The stunning results were very well received by NISV employees. Examples are shown below.
Tour de France 1954 (colorized by Rudy Marsman in 2016), Polygoon-Profilti (producent) / Nederlands Instituut voor Beeld en Geluid (beheerder), CC-BY SA
In the other part of his research, Rudy investigated to what extent the existing news broadcast corpus, with a voice-overs from the famous Philip Bloemendal can be used to develop a modern text-to-speech engine with his voice. To do so he have mainly focused on natural language processing and the determination to what extent the language used by Bloemendal in the 1970s is still comparable enough to contemporary Dutch.
Rudy used precompiled automatic speech recognition (ASR) results to match words to sounds and developed a slot-and-filler text-to-speech system based on this. To increase the limited vocabulary, he implemented a number of strategies, including term-expansion through the use of Open Dutch Wordnet and smart decompounding (this mostly works for Dutch, mapping 'sinterklaasoptocht' to 'sinterklaas' and 'optocht'. The different strategies were compared to a baseline. Rudy found that a combination of the two resulted in the best performance (see figure). For more information:

A Look Back at the 2nd BDE Workshop on Big Data in Health, Demographic Change and Wellbeing
[reblogged from Big-Data-Europe.eu]
On 9 December 2016, the second workshop for the Big Data Europe Health, Demographic Change and Wellbeing societal challenge was held in Brussels. The aim of this workshop was to highlight progress from the BigDataEurope project in building the foundations of a generically applicable big data platform which can be applied across all Horizon 2020 societal challenges. This workshop specifically focused on health, and showcased our first pilot's application to early bioscience research data.
The workshop had 15 participants, from within the health domain and outside it, including many participants from the European Commission. Together we discussed different perspectives on how we may use appropriate H2020 instruments and work programmes to better integrate the ecosystem of linked data repositories, data management services and virtual collaboration environments to increase the pace of knowledge sharing in health.
The workshop featured presentations from BDE's Simon Scerri and Aad Versteden on the general goals and progress of the BigDataEurope project and the BDE infrastructure respectively. After lunch, Ronald Siebes (BDE / VU Amsterdam) presented the first pilot in this specific domain. More information on that pilot can be found here. An extensive round-table discussion followed, in which possible options for new applications and connections were considered.
One question raised was whether the generic BDE infrastructure can be used by European SMEs. The fact that the BDE infrastructure is completely Open Source, very easy to install and features intuitive interface components makes re-use relatively simple even for smaller institutions and companies.
A significant part of the discussion focussed on possible new use cases for expanding the scope of the pilot. One suggestion was to look at post-hoc integration of clinical data, which represents a typical problem of data 'variance'. This would require integrating information from different versions of medical questionnaires, which may be recorded or stored in different ways. Data provenance is also a key concern, as keeping a trail of what has happened to clinical data is crucial to tracking patients' histories. Once integrated, this data could then be mined to identify biases or data patterns.
Finally, the workshop participants discussed potential connections to other European projects. Here many projects were mentioned including the MIDAS project, the Big-O project on childhood obesity, the PULSE projects and IMI / IMI2 projects including EMIF. We will be seeking collaborations with these projects and will continue to develop new and interesting Big Data use cases in this domain in the coming year.
