Hotels near Paralia Neas Epidavrou, Epidaurus

It was an overally very good value for money choice. It is close to the harbor (maximum 5 minutes walk), the host in reception (Simo) is very helpful, joyful and ready to assist. Ok, it is not the newest nor the best reserved, but it ticks all the necessary boxes for Agkistri. Clean room, with sea view, daily cleaning service and towel change, mediocre Wi-Fi but you don't go to agkistri for fast Internet, nor for luxurious hotels..

The location of the hotel is perfect and the whole establishment is very beautiful. They have really thought through the layout and the design of the hotel, lobby, pool, rooms etc. to all match the scenery nicely! Exceptional service from staff and the owner was super nice and friendly. We were very pleasantly surprised with a bottle of wine and a fruit platter at our arrival and a lovely homemade jam at our departure. The first round of water and soft drinks were complimentary in our mini bar. Greek hospitality is really shining through at Perivoli Country Hotel & Retreat!!! Another plus is the delicious food served for breakfast as well as lunch and dinner. Traditional Greek dishes with a twist made out of fresh products since they have a farm to table concept. Last but not least there are a number of activities that all guests that are nature lovers or into Greek history can enjoy. The hotel provides you with a brochure with all the activities and info and many were tailored for children too. One thing to keep in mind is that you need to have a car to reach this hotel, especially if you would like to explore the area. Pyrgiotika has really nice taverns with traditional food and the hotel is also just a 10 min drive from beautiful Nafplio which is an absolute must see! Our base was Perivoli Hotel and then we would drive to Nafplio for sightseeing (Old Town, Palamidi, Bourtzi etc) as well as food/drinks etc) and it is also a short drive just 20-30 min from the beautiful sandy Karathona beach that has a few beach bars and restaurants and plenty of parking space.

The hotel is located in the pedestrian area of the pleasant city of Nafplio. The decoration mentioned in particular is beautiful and original. An exquisite breakfast with a variety of choices and quality products.

I feel compelled to respond to the 18 July response by management to the very accurate review of 10 July. Your insinuation of improper behaviour can only be a reference to us verbally expressing our disappointment (is that not allowed?) to you about the issues referred to in the review of 10 July, nothing else, and such a false insinuation should be immediately withdrawn. And on arrival we never expressed “liking the place and the view”(another false statement). Here is our experience: Before arrival our taxi man rang ahead to the hotel and we were greeted where the road basically ended by a girl from the hotel. In fairness she was pleasant. She led us up and down a series of steps, quite treacherous and slippy, and where in between there was a path,it was broken in parts. It was all very tricky, particularly carrying cases. To the hotel itself, our room was hugely disappointing. Very dated decor, net curtains badly in need of a wash, and worst of all, the bathroom. A shower head that attached to nothing, but rather hung loosely on a hose; a shower curtain (yes a curtain, so not properly enclosed) that was very grubby at the bottom, and mould very evident on it and on the walls, quite simply, horrible. The air conditioning in the bedroom worked but was very noisy. The breakfast is decent. But this is overshadowed by the above, and the following: To walk into town you walked down very steep, in many cases uneven, broken, and slippy steps which were very poorly lit when it got dark. So when we approached reception to express our concerns we were told by another girl, again pleasant it should be said, that yes, a previous guest had pointed out that the shower head didn’t hang anywhere but that “someone would put something in the wall for it to hang from, tomorrow.” Later on in the evening we were told this actually wouldn’t happen. We were also told that the hotel is located in a very old part of town and that the only way up and down was the steps. Agreed. And that it was difficult to negotiate. But we pointed out that nowhere on the hotel’s official website (which we booked directly through) did it say this. We were told it did. But we rechecked and took screenshots of same. It clearly doesn’t. And we were also told that in the confirmation email there was a link with directions to the hotel which stated that the steps might not be suitable for people with mobility issues. So we retrieved the confirmation email. No such link, directions, or advice existed. Please bear in mind that we are physically fit, with absolutely no mobility issues. But we have serious health and safety concerns in relation to the only way into and out of the town centre from the hotel itself. Broken ankles or hips etc., for some poor unfortunate are only a matter of time. And on asking could we be relocated to any other hotel we were told “I’ll check with my manager”(a manager we never got to see). Only to be told later, it’s not possible. On again speaking with the first
