Authenticity

Travel back in time with a stay in this restored 19th-century mansion in the center of Nafplio's Old Town. The restored mansion has welcomed hotel guests since 2004. It has 19 rooms furnished with authentic Tuscan wood pieces. The hotel is decorated with earthy tones, wood, and leather. There are views of the Bourtzi fortress and the Aegean Sea.

Location

Located just one block from the waterfront, this hotel offers easy access to the city's attractions, like the fortresses of Akronauplia and Palamidi, both within a 10-minute walk or drive. Tolo Beach is a 15-minute drive, and those looking to experience a bit of ancient Greek drama can reach the amphitheater of Epidaurus in 30 minutes, which hosts theatrical performances during the summer.

Rooms & Bathrooms

This original neoclassical building houses 19 rooms and suites, bringing a 19th-century style to a modern era. Leather furniture, wooden furnishings, and earthy colors add a sense of coziness that some rooms take to another level with amenities like fireplaces. Families can check out the larger family suites that accommodate up to four, while couples may enjoy the attic with its clear view of the sea. Some options include sea views, while split-level rooms add extra privacy to your stay.

Amenities

You can relax by the hotel's fireplace during colder months or by the pool in the high season. The kidney-shaped pool is small and unheated and surrounded by marble-topped bistro tables and black metal chairs. There is a small fitness center on the property. Although there is no spa, treatments can be requested in the room. There is an elevator in the hotel, and some rooms have accessibility-friendly features like an emergency cord.

Family-Friendliness

Although the hotel is family-friendly and welcomes children of all ages, there are no special amenities or services on offer. However, larger suites can suit families, sleeping up to four, and baby cribs can be requested.

Other Highlights

Although you won’t find a restaurant on the property, a continental breakfast buffet is offered–including amazing pastries by their in-house pastry chef—and there should be enough choices catering to all dietary needs.
