Perivoli Country Hotel & Retreat

With all due respects to the earlier reviewers, this is definitely not the place to stay if you want to be a tourist in Nafplio. This hotel is in Pyrgiotiko, 20' outside Nafplio. Location: it is in the boonies. Way out of town with dirt roads. GPS took us to the wrong side and fortunately, it was not dark and we could carefully turn around. Hotel staff is aware of the GPS issue and should inform guests. Food: Breakfast only. It is a la carte and ok. There are some snacks for a short window in the evening, otherwise no food, no shop, nothing! We checked-in in the evening, and were sent to the only open tavern in town which literally had zero customers. We drove to Nafplio for dinner. Rooms: they have 12 (I think) rooms. We booked the biggest one with a balcony. It was small and the balcony shape makes it pretty useless. It may be a great place for relaxation or retreat but we did not enjoy our stay.

We stayed at the Hotel Perivoli six nights. Everyone was very helpful and courteous, especially Georgianne, the front desk/ everything else staff member. She coordinated taxi rides to Nafplio, about a 15 minute taxi drive. In addition she organized for us do a tour of an olive oil production facility. The facility was clean and welcoming. Our room was kept everyday. The view from our room was beautiful to say the least! We purchased breakfast for our stay. There was a variety of meal choices. All breakfasts were made to order and authentically Greek. We didn't use the pool because the weather was too cold. However, it was open and well kept.

Second time visiting. Staff are exceptional. Beautiful view. Nice breakfast included. Pool closes at 7:00 pm which is quite inconvenient after a long hot day. Room showers are awkwardly arranged. Signage up the winding dirt road is not great.

This was a hotel that grew on us. We arrived in blistering heat in a bad mood after smashing a mobile phone and were dismayed to find slightly weak in our room and that the aircon wasn't on in reception which made it hard to search for a repair shop when the heat was stifling. However. The staff could not have been more helpful. They put the aircon on at our request and helped us find a phone shop in Nafplio. We ordered a snack from the all-day offerings which was delicious. We had arrived early and they made an effort to get the room ready before it was due. We paid for a superior room which I would highly recommend. Room 16 is on the upper floor at the end of the corridor and has a corner position with very large balcony offering breathtaking view of the hills and out to sea. Stunning. Aircon in the room worked well and the bed was very comfy. Blissful silence at night. You need a car, or be prepared to pay 15 euros (Juy 2025 prices) each way for a (very good) taxi service into Nafplio. The tavernas in the local village are charming and offer excellent value if you want a quieter evening one day. Pool area is lovely. I would have liked to be able to swim earlier than 9 am but can see this is done to prevent noisy guests disturbing others as some rooms are very close to the pool. Breakfast was served on the terrace in the shade to enjoy the stunning views. We had a room only rate but enjoyed the set menu approach which was 15 euros for fresh orange, unlimited tea or coffee, eggs, Greek yoghurt etc and a variety of other options, all cooked to order. The service here was outstanding, especially from Giorgia on reception who went out of her way to assist. It's a small hotel in an amazing hilltop position so don't stay here if you want nightlife on the doorstep or don't drive. Come for stunning views, blissful peace, comfy beds, a refreshing pool and lovely staff. Food past 7 pm would be fantastic but, again, I can see why they don't offer this as the place is small. All in all, a lovely stay and I would recommend as an oasis of calm away from the hustle and bustle of Nafplio. Village tavernas great too.

Fantastic quite place to stay, friendly personnel, great food and drinks, clean and big rooms well airconditioned. The small road up to the resort on the hill gives an extra special experience to this place. We liked it very much.

Great place, great location,great service. We enjoyed the countryside atmosphere and proximity to Nafplion. The room and the whole facility was meticulously clean. Above all, the attention the wonderful staff paid to our every request was highly appreciated. We had a wonderful stay.
