Nafplia Palace Hotel & Villas

Nafplia Palace is up on a cliff adjoining an old castle. It appears to be constructed of hand chiseled stone that is arranged in a style similar to Frank Lloyd Wright meets Brutalism. There are two pools, a bar, and a restaurant all with spectacular views of the bay. We were upgraded to a very nice suite with a balcony adjacent to the upper pool. The suite was beautiful and had a large bathroom complete with a whirlpool tub and a shower/steam room. After a long day at the nearby Mycenaean archeological sites, we enjoyed a couple of cold beers on the balcony watching the boat traffic. When it came time to explore the city, we took the elevator down to street level and enjoyed shopping, dining, and drinking on the cute seafront esplanade down a few more flights of stairs. The breakfast the next day had everything we needed and all of it was well presented. The service was top-notch throughout.

Amazing views. Friendly and helpful staff, especially at restaurant. Breakfast is amazing! Freddo espressos delicious!! Slightly outdated rooms but clean and very comfortable. Everything worked fine for our stay (one review noted that things did not work but all worked for us - outlets, lights, etc). Quiet and felt very safe. Infinity pool with fantastic view. Grounds clean. Up on top of hill so view is spectacular. Has an elevator down to town.

The hotel position is tops! Views stunning. Service and staff very helpful, especially Maritsa at the front desk. However the property is in need of renovation. The rooms are tired with old technology that is no longer used but still there. The lights are complex. The plunge pool we had in our room had no steps or ladder to get out (not good for the elderly). Turn down occurred one of three nights. Glassware was not replaced in the room daily. No bottled water provided for an expensive hotel. The main hotel has been closed for two years with no date set for works to start. Our stay was comfortable, but for what could be a spectacular hotel and villas, it’s a bit neglected and a let down.
