Generally excellent place to stay, and the breakfast was great. Staff was very friendly, even though they did not speak English (and I didn't speak Greek). The location in Areopoli is a quiet base for a visit to the Mani, and the lodge a short walk to restaurants, though some might prefer to stay along the coast
The location is perfect, good view of mountains and sea, five minutes to being in sea. Plenty of tavernas and one small store at the same spot. Lodging in a characterful building in local style, quiet and peaceful.
