"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."

"Breakfast was well prepared but reciption staff not very welcoming or friendly."

"Lovely hotel in an isolated location which gives it a panoramic view and a peaceful quiet very relaxing atmosphere. The people could not be more helpful and pleasant. We are there every night and the menu changes daily. Food was very good. We were on a self driving holiday and a car is beneficial here although the hotel will take guests to and fro the nearby beach. Highly recommended hotel. "

"This is a beautiful, high quality villa set in stunning surroundings. It is impeccably maintained and Joke and her husband the owners are very friendly and attentive and keep the place extremely well.The pool is an excellent size and being full flood design stays almost completely clean for the whole week. Swimming in there in the morning with the sun rising and reflecting over the pool is just magical.The location is perfect being only a few minutes drive from Finikounda and a superb beach, and only a few minutes more drive to Methoni.There is a short stretch of track to get to the property but even that has been much improved since our last visit.Highly recommended"

"One of our greatest finds. Sunrise apartment has great view of the see and surrounding hills which gave a great sense of serenity. Nearby village has beautiful small restaurants, pastries and cafes. The apartment was brand new with everything we needed. Car is a must for this stay being that you will be around 1km from the village and nearest beach. The whole area is with some of the most beautiful beaches of Greece, with the tourism still less developed then in the other regions, so much more quiet and more affordable. Sunrise apartment is definitely one place where we would like to return in the future."

"Property is excellent. It’s a bit of a trek if you take a car from Athens. I recommend taking a helicopter as it lands right at the property basically. Surrounding area is beautiful , great golf as well. "
