Top choice in Peloponnese
This lovely place, a converted historic home, has eight elegant rooms with drapes and tasteful fabrics. All of them face the fabulous outlook over the valley, and half have balconies making the most of it. Kitchenettes and connecting rooms make for good family options. Delightful owners Chara and her parents, Aris and Elena, go out of their way to be helpful.
Prices drop substantially in summer.
