Top Hotels Near Glifada Beach in Pylos-Nestoras from AU$126

"I spent nearly 40 years writing about travel, so I know a thing or two about hotels. Filanthi is a special place in every way. Yes, the sea is right outside and there’s a great restaurant below, but it’s far more than that. This building has been in the same family for many generations (see story in photo) and is now run by a young woman named Eugenia, who has done a flawless job of preserving the charm of her great-grandfather’s home while blending it with artistic, modern touches, for example, the way the beautiful bathroom tiles conjure hillsides of olive, citrus, and sage. She has also introduced comfort elements not typical of Greek hotels. The bed was exceptionally comfortable—nothing like the traditional board-like fare—and the shower was the best I experienced in four weeks of traveling through the Peloponnese. Every detail is unique and thoughtfully chosen; she should be proud of the years of work that went into creating such a space. There was a complimentary bottle of local wine in the room that I didn’t try, and though I never ordered one, my sea-view double came with a balcony cat who was charming and excellent company. My only suggestion: I hope she soon drops “The Project” from the name. In my experience, the hotel is already complete—elegant, well-finished, and deeply memorable."

"We can’t thank the owners enough. Panagiotis and his beautiful wife were lovely and went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. The room was immaculate and beautifully appointed, blending modern luxury with cozy comfort. The bed was incredibly comfortable, the linens crisp and clean, and the view from our window and balcony was simply stunning. Housekeeping was prompt, discreet, and consistent throughout our stay. What truly set this hotel apart was the level of service. They remembered our name, our preferences, and were always one step ahead with thoughtful suggestions and assistance. The hotel’s amenities were top-notch serene, spotless, and offered us a place to unwind. Breakfast in the mornings was impressive, with plenty of local farm to table options and exceptional organic quality. Our taste buds we in heaven daily. Location-wise, the hotel couldn’t be better situated — close enough to the town of Finikounda, restaurants and several beaches but tucked away just enough to feel peaceful and exclusive. In every aspect, this stay exceeded our expectations and can’t recommend this hotel highly enough. We’ll absolutely be returning — it’s rare to find a place that gets everything right. If you are looking for a place to stay in the Finikounda area, this is it. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!"

"Wonderful property, peaceful, with tranquil, St Andreas beach. Nice restaurants in the area, shirt walk away. We stayed in a 2 bedroom cottage across the street from the beach. If you’re looking for a quiet setting with pristine beach, small town Greek charm, and friendly locals, this is the place for you. Short drive to historical castle in town of Koroni as well as other very nice beaches. "

"This was the stay we had been most looking forward to, and unfortunately, it was our biggest disappointment. The apartment had a spider and an ant infestation. Basic supplies were lacking, including dish soap, complementary water in the fridge, garbage bags, and cleaning products. We also had to request additional towels and toilet paper. The beach was clean, but the lounge chairs were underwhelming compared to the neighbouring chairs, and guests were charged an additional eight euros for chairs despite staying on the property. Drinks had to be paid for immediately rather than starting a tab, and the card machine frequently didn’t work, requiring trips up the stairs to pay. While the location is fabulous, the hospitality was inconsistent. The female owner was very pleasant, super helpful, friendly, and accommodating, which we greatly appreciated. However, the elder gentleman was difficult to deal with, and our presence often seemed unwelcome. We often went next door to Peroulia Hotel for meals, where the staff was warm and engaging. The only time we saw the elder man smile was at checkout. Overall, I would not recommend staying here."

"Great spot to get away from the city "

"Beautiful hilltop hotel. Off the beaten path with a great view of the town below. Pool was nice and had a bar to get drinks and snacks at. Senior suite had two bedrooms, living room, small dining area and small kitchen area. Town was a quick drive down the hill or a 15 minute walk. Town offered many options for dinner and shopping. Dinner at Elena Taverna was amazing. Highly recommend it. Buffet breakfast was very good. Many different breakfast foods to chose from. You won’t go hungry!"

"Excellent beach with humongous "L" shaped pool. Great menu services. Met George and Niko the owners, very hospitable and caring people. I give them credit with what they have built and acchomplished."

"Very beautiful setting, very friendly and efficient staff : a relaxing experience from start to finish."
