Top choice in Peloponnese
The ultrahospitable and knowledgeable English-speaking owner, Nena, has converted her family home (dating from 1650) into a stylish guesthouse perched above the village. Each room's decor is unique and features tasteful, traditional local homewares. You can even sleep in the former ‘donkey basement’. Breakfast includes homemade organic produce and is served in a beautiful room with an open fireplace.
There are no TVs; enjoy the charming common area instead.
