    Historic property with upgraded conveniences. Working fireplace charmed us with free firewood. Super-attentive professional host was also a fountain of information.

    Being a 3 floor castle was kind of difficult to move with the baby, but this wasn't the property's fault.

    We booked the castle and we actually stayed in a 3 floor castle! The location was great! In a small village full of small castles, very scenic and beautiful. The rooms were very clean and the beds super comfortable.

    It’s a little way out of town or a village so you need a car to explore or go to the beach or a restaurant but a great base to travel around the Mani, the Caves of Diros, etc.

    Great opportunity to stay in a Mani tower house / Castle. Apartment was spacious, clean and comfortable. Loved the washing machine and outside Court yard. We arrived a little early and were able to check in and warmly welcomed by our hosts.

    Absolutely nothing!

    This place was really a gem. We were looking for a place in Mani and found this one -- a castle! Who wouldn't want to spend a few days in a castle? The place exceeded our expectations. It is beautiful, extremely well-kept (with a lot of love, I may add), very clean, and really not lacking in anything. We did not stay in the castle but chose a new addition to the property as it has a huge terrace. It has a full kitchen, a stunning view, a big bedroom and a living area, and an extremely comfortable bed that is sure to give you sweet dreams. Breakfast was optional with extra pay -- essentially everything was made from their own produce, and everything was delicious. The village is near the famous Dirou caves (a must-see), several beaches, and other attractions in the area. We felt so happy being there and will definitely return. Highly recommended.

    Cleverly renovated historic tower complex that combined modern amenities and comfort with a traditional Mani fortress house. My ground floor room was larger than expected, and the unexpected bonus of a washing machine in the bathroom meant I could do my washing after a week of travelling. I only stayed one night, but the small, well equipped kitchen would be great if I was staying for a few days and using it as a base for exploring the region. Worth paying for breakfast, a good spread of local and homemade produce.

    It was cool to be in a former castle. The rose color of the walls was nice. it was warm in the apartments. The receptionist was friendly. The location is perfect. It is in the centre of Mani and allows you to visit both Inner and Outer Mani. it is very close to the famous caves. We went running in the olives. We did hiking suggested by the hotel and really enjoyed it. The bought a tasty orange jam in the hotel.

    Very small details. Rosters are noisy in the morning, so be ready for an early get up) I had special request that sent in advance, they confirmed, but didn't take in consideration, we waited about 30 min after long road on our arrival until they made an extra bed that was confirmed before. Breakfast are extra charge and it is not clear. Of course it is not expensive and absolutely amazing, so it's definitely worth it, but would be better to indicate the price for it on the wonderful description of the homemade products.

    Perfect place, really wonderful breakfast, very authentic design, calm place, nice stay in Mani with a lot of nice sights, but not very touristic.

    Tiny bathroom, given the limited space

    You really feel like in an old tower, where people lived 200 years ago, with beds on 3 floors. Everything was beautifully restored. The terrace is huge and beautiful. The absolute highlight is the roof terrace on the top of the tower, providing an amazing 360 degree view
