Pirgos Mavromichali

The beautifully restored 18th century Mani tower hotel forms part of the stark tiny village of Limeni made of blinding white stone surrounded by a crystal clear turquoise sea. A swim straight from our comfy minimalist room, via easily accessible steps into the cold May waters, is a definite Must! On the terrace, generous delicious breakfasts and exquisite dinners are served by the attentive staff. Our host and owner is charming and warm. With only a few rooms, a stay at Pyrgos Mavromichali, feels both private and personal. I wish we could have stayed longer.

Hotel Pirgos Mavromichali surpassed all my expectations, creating an unforgettable experience. The impeccable service, luxurious rooms, and exquisite restaurant made me feel like royalty. The breathtaking views from the room added an extra touch of magic. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone seeking sheer happiness and bliss. It's a true paradise where every detail is meticulously taken care of . A place where the times stops and you feel rejuvenated and renewed. We will be back, small paradise on earth. Special thank you to Saki, the owner for his amazing level of hospitality.

A converted family tower home in Limeni seaside village provides accommodations, food and ambiance. Once inside the stone fortress the busy outside world disappears. The sound of the sea lapping up on the rocks make the sometimes busyness of the village disappear. All of the nine room looks out to the water and our room ( number 9) was right above the rocks. The weather was changeable but we managed to eat most meals on the spacious and shaded terrace overlooking the sea. The (included) breakfast selections: eggs cooked 4 different ways, Greek yoghurt with honey and walnuts, fresh fruit, vegetables, French toast, homemade breads and jam, fresh squeezed OJ, vegetables, cheeses, plus coffee anyway you like it…I could go on. Afternoon and evening meals are only for hotel guests should they choose to eat there. Absolutely fresh fish, local vegetables, traditional Greek dishes are on the menu. The furnishings were simple and elegant. Flowering plants and trees against the stone walls made the inner courtyard feel like a garden. The rooms had all the modern conveniences one wants. Design, art, linen, furniture are all local or Greek made. The toiletries were by Korres, a Greek natural skin care company. The owner is a terrific host and we felt like we were guests in his family home, which we were!

Everything in Limeni is outstanding. This is a hidden jem. One of my favorite spots in all of Greece. Sea turtles, crystal clear water, and amazing restaurants. Well worth the trip. This is a spot that Greeks enjoy.

A unique place to relax and admire how the long efforts and the good taste of the owner have resulted into a magnificent conversion from an old castle house into a wonderful boutique hotel! Breakfast with a grat variety of specialties. Personalised and attentive service. The access to the sea to swim was 5 meters from our terrace door! Veru quite and discrete. Near by a small number of bars, restaurants , boutiques etc. Also close enough to visit very ineresting places like the Old Oitilon, a monastry Areopolis and Gerolimenas!

What a great stay at Pirgos Mavromichali in Limeni! Beautiful view of the bay, very comfortable and spacious rooms, easy walk down to the water for swimming and watersports, and fantastic breakfast and other meals available right on site. Not to mention the courteous and attentive service from the staff. You could stay in the property for a week and be happy, but there are a number of good restaurants right up the street as well, and Limeni is a convenient location from which to base trips to other sites in the Mani peninsula area. Highly recommended.

Overall a very disappointing stay - the owner and assistant manager did not make us feel welcome and provided very little information on what was available to us. Sun lounges are not available for every room as advertised. They also allocate them to specific rooms which results in some guests missing out making it impossible for guests to enjoy the terrace. Also there is no shade on the terrace from the afternoon sun. Parking is also not provided on site and as Limeni has limited parking spots - you have to be fortunate to find a spot nearby. Also our room had problems with the air conditioning and it only worked in the early morning when the temperature was mild.
