Grand Sarai

Nafplio


A beautifully renovated pink mansion over three floors that's sleek and modern on the inside. Rooms are very stylish, decorated in soft neutral tones. Most have marvellous views, some have balconies, two rooms have spa baths. Extensive breakfasts using local produce are served in an intimate setting downstairs. There's also a lift; rare in the old town.

The building itself has an interesting history (foundation remnants suggests there was a building here in the 15th century); ask management for the flier explaining the background.
