This is a wonderful hotel. It is exquisitely designed mixing old world Mani architecture and the modern world. It’s situated in a cozy corner of the pristine Gerolimenas Bay/Cove. You can spend all day, if you want, lounging on their comfy chaise and be pampered by the sweet staff. The food in the restaurant is first rate, with catch of the day options or their staple Salmon Risotto. You might luck up, like I did, and meet the fisherman who brought in the evening’s pescatarian delights. The lunch menu was light and yet filling and the free breakfast, on the veranda overlooking the port, cannot be missed.
The location is perfect for day trips to the rest of the deep Mani. I went down to Cape Tainaron and walked the last 1.2 miles out to the lighthouse, the most southern tip on the European continent. Visited smaller beaches and towns on the way back and was so glad to jump into that crystal clear water beside the hotel and become fully restored. That - and the Minuty Rose that the staff had ready for me; knowing my favorite late afternoon drink. You can’t find a more perfect place in that neck of the woods.
