ABOUT THE PROPERTY

Location

Situated just outside Gythio, approximately 5 minutes by car from the town centre. Perfectly positioned for exploring Gythio and the surrounding Mani peninsula, while offering a quieter setting away from the bustle of town. The beach is directly across the road.

Parking

Convenient for guests travelling by car, with plenty of off-street parking close to the hotel.

The accommodation

Built in traditional Mani-style stone architecture, the resort combines local character with a modern, luxurious feel. Our room was spacious, with high ceilings, a lovely balcony fitted with shutters and fly screens, and an enormous bathroom with both a bath and separate shower. We were also welcomed with a complimentary bottle of wine, a lovely little touch.

The swimming pool is a real highlight, with an outdoor bar and dining area, while guests have complimentary use of sunbeds and parasols on the beach directly opposite.

Breakfast

A generous buffet with eggs and omelettes, meats, cheeses, salads, Greek yoghurt, fresh fruit, cakes, cereals, nuts, seeds, honey, tea, coffee and fruit juices. There's plenty of choice, and sitting outside overlooking the pool in the morning sunshine makes for a lovely start to the day.

How long to stay

Ideal for a few nights or longer. Whether you're using Gythio as a base for exploring the Mani peninsula or simply fancy a few days relaxing by the pool and beach, it's a lovely place to unwind.
