    We loved it all. Our stay at Elea Mare Hotel was nothing short of magical. Gregor's exceptional hospitality, the stunning seafront views, the delicious breakfasts, and the overall sense of tranquility and comfort made our vacation truly special. We left with unforgettable memories. Elea Mare Hotel in Peloponnese is a hidden gem, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking an idyllic Greek getaway.

    We recently had the pleasure of staying at the Elea Mare Hotel in Peloponnese, hosted by the wonderful Gregor, and I must say it was an unforgettable experience. We spent five nights at this charming establishment and were absolutely delighted with every aspect of our stay. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with incredible service that truly exemplified the essence of Greek hospitality at its finest. Gregor went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was perfect, and his warm and welcoming demeanor made us feel like cherished guests throughout our visit. One of the most enchanting aspects of our stay was falling asleep to the soothing sounds of the waves just outside our window. Our spacious balcony offered a breathtaking seafront view that allowed us to feel the beauty of the Mediterranean in a truly unique way. Gregor surprised us with a local treat, tsipuro, and even provided us with instructions on how to enjoy it best, encouraging us to sip it while watching the mesmerizing full moon from our balcony—a moment we will forever treasure. The breakfasts at Elea Mare were a highlight of our mornings. Local products and delicious pies lovingly made by Gregor's mother, they were a delightful way to start the day. The breakfast terrace, with its understated jazz music playing softly in the background, created a special ambiance that set the tone for a wonderful day ahead. The beds at Elea Mare were exceptionally comfortable, ensuring that we had restful nights and woke up refreshed and ready to explore. And speaking of exploration, the hotel's location is ideal. Just a short three-minute walk took us to a nice beach, which we had almost entirely to ourselves due to the end of the season. This sense of seclusion and luxury was a true gift. Additionally, Elea Mare is conveniently situated near popular tourist destinations like Monemvasia and Elafonisos, making it the perfect base for day trips and adventures.

    Wonderful location beside the sea, very quiet. An excellent place for a good rest. We stayed here for a week. A very nice sandy beach with a good restaurant can be found at 150 m from Elea Mare. The view towards the sunset is very beautiful across the Gulf of Laconia. The breakfast is served from 8:00 to 12:00, late enough for people who don't like to wake up before ten. At breakfast you can eat orange marmalade, fig marmalade, orange cookies, chocolate cookies, and various pies made by the owners with local ingredients. The owners and the personnel are very friendly and helpful. The rooms are squeaky clean. Fast access by car to other places in Laconia: Monemvasia, Elafonisos, Neapoli, Gytheio.

    The usual issue with just about all Greek hotels: small shower cubicle with those shower curtains that cling to you no matter how hard you try to avoid it. I’m not really complaining about it, it’s just one of those things.

    Lovely hotel. Our room was massive with a large comfortable bed & great sea view overlooking the gulf of Laconia. Owner is friendly and helpful. Great buffet style breakfast - eggs, various breads & pastries, yoghurts, honey, cereals etc.. - all this with the lovely Anna on hand to make tea/coffee and always with a cheery smile! Quiet place for a good nights sleep but within a 10 minute walk to the village where there are various bars, cafes and restaurants. If you can’t handle the 10 minute walk, there’s a good taverna literally around the corner.

    Elea Mare has a very nice and helpful owner who does his most to feel the guest at home. He is very helpful with information of any kind. Every morning they prepare a different breakfast with fresh local products. The rooms are spacious enough and with a balcony right onto the sea. The room and the small bathroom are clean. It is a very quiet place, within walking distance of the small village, where there are a few taverns

    Perfect place to rest far away from the touristic crowd :-)

    Only one thing comes to my mind, but this is common for ALL and any hotel in Greece - the rooms and balconies for smokers and non-smokers should be separated.. It has never been nice (and I mean in ALL hotels) to relax in the sun and wind and suddenly being attacked by a stinking cloud from cigarettes ;-) If you overcome this issue... somehow... it would be simply perfect place for a tourist like me :-)

    I was considering for a brief moment to give a very bad review here... so that rooms are available when I come back ;-) But that would be extremely selfish of me, considering.. how much LOVE and ATTENTION TO THE DETAIL the owners put. So then.. honestly - one of the best places to stay, especially when you are fed up with crowded beaches and crowder touristic places and just want to calm down, enjoying the winds and the sun, not disturbed by anything :-) But - you need to have a car - in order to visit some interesting places around. And.. maybe you've been told something about Greek hospitally and Greek staff being nice etc etc... but visiting possibly 50-60 hotels in Greece I can say this: This one tops out all of them! :-)

    The closes beach was tiny and had no shade, so we did not use it (although the hotel owner gave us a small beach umbrella to use without charge). The whole area is not really touristy since Peloponnese is very rugged and there is no way to get from one place to another quickly. Finding the village and the hotel initially was a little bit challenging – you need to have a GPS with up-to date maps. The Internet would not work from every spot in the room, but I consider this a minor inconvenience. The property is in good shape overall, but some cosmetic updates will revive it (like updating the bathrooms).

    The staff at Elea Mare is their biggest asset. If you want to be treated like royalty, this is the place to visit. They are super attentive to all your needs. They will go the extra mile to complete every request you have. The owner would meet you every morning in the dining room, welcome you, insist on bringing your coffee to your table (although breakfast is buffet style), introduce to you all the specials they have that morning. Many things (like pastries) were made by his family, and some fruit was from his own garden. He will ask about your plans for the day and give you ideas and tips about day trips. Our room was right above the sea, and we had a wonderful view. There was a big balcony where we could watch spectacular sunsets. The dining area had the same view. The room was much bigger than most hotel rooms and had enough storage space, a desk, a refrigerator, and even a drying rack you could bring out to the balcony to dry your swimsuits. A real bonus! We ordered a king size bed, and it was a real king size. It was very comfortable. There was a small table and 2 chairs on the balcony for watching these amazing sunsets I mentioned before. We were tipped about a wonderful sandy beach with very calm water in the village of Plytra, about 15-20 minutes drive from the hotel.
