Oichalia Holidays from £326

A really beautiful and authentic-feeling venue with great amenities in the heart of Mani

The hotel itself is in a beautiful location, my room had fantastic sea views and the way the rooms were allocated in individual houses was quite a nice concept. However the buildings are in need of some external as well as internal refurbishment. In my case the bathroom needs some upgrading with specific attention to the toilet-tank and showering. I reported the former on the first day but then gave up.

Absolutely exceptional in every way—this is, hands down, the best boutique hotel we have ever stayed at, and that’s saying a lot as we regularly stay at 5-star properties around the world. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed like family. The owners are some of the warmest, most genuine people we've ever met in our travels. Their hospitality was unmatched, and their local recommendations—especially for restaurants—were spot-on every time. The room was stunning: beautifully designed, impeccably clean, and offering breathtaking views that we’ll never forget. Every detail was thoughtful, every comfort considered. And the breakfast? Absolutely phenomenal. Homemade, fresh, and delicious—one of the highlights of our stay. This place has heart, soul, and charm in spades. It somehow manages to feel both luxurious and deeply personal. We are already dreaming of our return. If you have the chance to stay here, do not hesitate. It’s a rare gem that truly sets a new standard. Can’t recommend it highly enough!

Location is the most important
