Peloponnese
Kind of like an old-fashioned ski lodge with its handsome stone exterior, the long-running Filoxenia has had a modern spruce-up. Its 28 rooms are individually decorated with bright, fresh colours and contemporary fabrics. It's open all year and prices are somewhat cheaper on weekdays and from March to November. It offers an expansive buffet breakfast and there's a small spa complex.
Rates include a sauna, hammam or hydromassage session per day.
