Aethra Boutique Rooms

Let's start with the owners, Katya and Lisa: wonderful, friendly, welcoming and helpful people. All of the other personnel were friendly and helpful, as well. Location is just up from the heart of Old Town. Beautiful views of the town and harbor. Our room was spacious and super clean. Breakfast each morning was delicious and had plenty of options. The patio is charming. Highly Recommend.

The people were wonderful and welcoming, In my case, the room was even ready a little early. The room itself was ample in size for a solo traveler and would have been OK for a couple (there's almost no place to put one's clothing though, i.e. no drawers at all). The internet connection was excellent, and they kindly had a complimentary bottle of water waiting in the refrigerator. The breakfast was simple but tasty and quite satisfying. The location worked perfectly for me as it is in the heart of downtown Nafplio. So, lots of good things about this property, hence my high rating. If we could do half ratings, I'd have given it a 4.5. The only issue I had was with the bathroom. Some characteristics are common to Europe (e.g., tiny bit of immovable glass bordering the less than half shower that results in water on the bathroom floor), but one item would give me a little pause about staying there again. That one item was the inability to take a comfortable shower. The mount for the shower head was at upper leg to crotch level only. There was no way to have the shower head secured above oneself and directed downward. This left me eager to depart and get someplace where I could have a proper shower. Also, for travelers' awareness, you WILL have to handle many steps to come and go from Aethra. If you have mobility issues, this location could be a problem for you.

We spent four weeks in Turkey and Greece, and this was one of our favorite hotels! The setting and value for money are unbeatable. Included in our stay was a lovely breakfast of fruits, yogurt, cereals, deli meats and cheeses, a selection of breads - sweet and savory, made-to-order eggs, and different fresh-baked pastries each day. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was newly decorated or renovated and was very modern with plenty of surface area. There is a fantastic view of the town and water, a beautiful courtyard where you can relax or have breakfast, and we had our own balcony. A word of warning: you cannot drive up to the hotel (this is the case with almost every boutique-type hotel in Nafplio), so you have to park and walk, including carrying your suitcases up stairs. This did not bother us at all but might be prohibitive for some people. For us, it just added to the experience of being in beautiful Nafplio.

Fabulous hotel, excellent staff. Beautiful rooms. Daily cleaning. Lovely Greek buffet breakfast and fresh eggs daily. Terrace where you eat breakfast is gorgeous. Katia in particular went above and beyond for us. I would highly recommend.

Nested on top of the village- Stylish small boutique hotel. With friendly Staff and comfortable atmosphere. A spectacular Place in Nafplio. Steppes away from restaurants, shops, sightseeing and the beach. Delicious Breakfast on the outdoor terrace. Just be aware of the steep Stepps to reach the Hotel.. just pack light! Nafplio is a great place to visit and this Hotel the perfect stay.

Excellent location in the heart of the old city, superb service, cosy rooms and tasty breakfast. We had a wonderful stay at this hotel in general. The only drawback is the amount of steep steps you have to go through to get to the hotel.
