Located in the tiny village of Koita in the Peloponnese's Mani Peninsula, Citta dei Nicliani is a family-run hotel ideal for a peaceful getaway. The hotel is comprised of three ancient stone towers which date back as far as the 18th century, showcasing the protected architecture typical of this region.
The rustic style of Citta dei Nicliani's exterior continues in the design of the guest rooms, where the original stone walls and wooden beam ceilings are exposed. Rooms are simply decorated using neutral tones, with a handful of antique furnishings and special touches such as centuries-old artefacts preserved in the floors. Every room has a distinctive layout and style ensuring each has its own unique character.
Outside, the spacious terrace offers beautiful views of the hills and ancient towers of the region. Although there is no pool, this is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the tranquillity as you admire the unspoilt scenery below. Here, or in the cosy pavilion, you'll enjoy your meals courtesy of the father of the family, who prepares delicious, traditional Greek dishes using ingredients from the region. With an emphasis on friendly, personal service, guests are well looked after by the owners, and you may even have the opportunity to join the family on their trip to the harbour to pick your own seafood from the local fisherman - it doesn't get any fresher than this!
As well as boasting delectable Greek cuisine, Citta dei Nicliani is home to an extensive wine cellar with over a hundred Greek wines. Guests can discover the world of Greek wine with a tailor-made wine tasting session in the hotel, or alternatively in wineries around the Peloponnese region. In the autumn months it's also possible to visit a nearby olive oil press and discover how one of Greece's most famous products is made.
