Incredible place to stay. The most beautifully restored small hotel that makes for a very special and unique experience. The owner, Efes, could not have been more friendly and hospitable. The nicest hotel breakfast we’ve had in ages. All of the Kalamata old town charm is right on the doorstep too.

It’s a special place and beautifully renovated mansion. The bed was large enough and comfortable with modern amenities with high ceiling, big windows, a/c. Breakfast was delicious with variety of local specialties. It’s very well located to the nearest central square with restaurants, and shops. Nearby open farmers market and the old town as well as the Castle. Definitely recommend it and would love to be back again!

A unique building that was fully restored keeping the character of the original building which was beautiful. Unfortunately due to the fact that is a listed building and due to the regulations you can’t change anything which means that you don’t have an elevator which makes it difficult using the stairs when you have a large luggage. The owners were very polite, attentive and helpful willing to help us with any request we had. The breakfast was based on local ingredients and was delicious (especially the cheese pie). The breakfast room was beautiful but unfortunately due to the regulations until now the owners didn’t have a permit to add air conditioning in this room and it was very warm as outside temperatures were above 30C. However we were told that they finally got approval so it should not be an issue in the future. We would definitely return to this hotel the next time we will visit Kalamata.

From check in to check out our stay was great!!! Efi and George were friendly and helpful. The hotel takes you back to the 1800's. The room was spacious and the colors in the room were very serene. The breakfasts were really nice and Efi presented them with grace. Location is close to shopping and restaurants. Overall, it was a really nice experience. Thank you again Efi and George for making our stay with you so memorable.

Perfekte Lage in der Stadt, liegt ideal zwischen Altstadt und dem neueren Teil der Stadt; sehr nahe zum Stadtbus für den Strand. Frühstück wunderbar, abwechslungsreich und liebevoll. Sehr schöne Räume mit individuell ausgewählter Ausstattung. Äusserst nette Besitzer, sehr hilfsbereit und präsent. Sogar Parkplatz war vorhanden trotz autofreier Gegend. Wir würden in kein anderes Hotel in Kalamata gehen wollen.
