Citta dei Nicliani

We stayed in the Citta deli Nicliani for one week in late April which was the best time to see the abundance of wild flowers in Mani. Tanya and Elias are the most generous hosts one could wish for and are ably assisted in the running of the Hotel by Daram. Their combined knowledge and enthusiasm for the area and advice on which historical sites to view including the number of haunting Ghost Towns was invaluable. Our bedroom was beautifully and thoughtfully decorated and that was repeated in the Dining Area which was full of artisan items including lamps, candles, comfortable sofas and a huge range of books. We were able to relax and enjoy the peace and calm as well as the surroundings. Unsurprisingly, it is our intention to visit again next year

Arriviamo nella stanza che dovrebbe essere la più grande, peccato che i metri quadri indicati comprendessero un soppalco totalmente inutilizzabile e quasi raccapricciante. La stanza ha un pertugio che sarebbe la finestra dalla quale dovrebbe entrare la luce visto che l'altra finestra, sprovvista di zanzariera, dà su un albero che non fa entrare un minimo raggio di sole. L'arredamento è eccessivo, ammennicoli raccogli polvere che contribuiscono ancora di più alla claustrofobia. Ciliegina sulla torta ritargli di giornali con facce di Hitler e Mussolini popolano la stanza. Ho fatto presente al proprietario il mio disappunto ma non ha proferito parola. Colazione imposta, unico piatto con uovo strapazzato che sapeva di stantio, una fetta di prosciutto e poco altro, nessuna richiesta di eventuali intolleranze o preferenze. Avevo prenotato tre notti ma dopo la prima notte abbiamo deciso di andarcene. I proprietari non hanno nemmeno chiesto il motivo, nessuno interesse in merito. In agosto è un'ambientazione veramente opprimente, non una piscinetta utilizzabile, uno spot fresco (il giardino è invaso dalle vespe). C'è una pozza con dell'acqua stagnante, di colore verde marrone. Sconsiglio di buttare i soldi in questo posto (io purtroppo l'ho fatto). Dalle foto mi aspettavo qualcosa di totalmente diverso. Le foto delle stanze non rappresentano la realtà.

Very clean & the stuff was kind

Εξαιρετική παροχή φιλοξενίας, καθημερινή φροντίδα δωματίου, προσεγμένο πρωινό. Ευχαριστούμε πολύ για όλες τις εξαιρετικές υπηρεσιες.

E’ un ambiente unico, suggestivo, particolarmente curato nei dettagli. Colazione ottima e ci hanno dato un upgrade della camera con piscina riservata. Una coppia è un ragazzo gentile si prendono cura di tutto. Due notti sono necessarie per entrare in un altro mondo.. ambiente con grande personalità !

Tolle Steinhaus- Anlage sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet

Hosts are extremely welcoming and friendly and take really care of their guests. Just an example: when they took note that I loved the pears I got one day for breakfast, they not only got in touch with the dealer who sells the pears from time to time on the market, but also gave me some pears for my trip back. And of course they had a lot of excellent advice on the best beaches, restaurants, etc.

Accoglienza impeccabile in un complesso di grande suggestione. Ottima cucina e colazione

A true boutique hotel that pays attention to every last detail. We were made to feel so welcome at this family run hotel. They cater for all needs and nothing was too much trouble. The food is fine dining sourced locally with many homemade elements such as bread, ice cream and cake. Beautiful surroundings in a traditional Maniot tower - very relaxing. Highly recommended.

Incredibly and tastefully well restored ancient fortress. Hard working staff. Room itself was a little tight. Amazing grounds-- . Fantastic breakfast.

Loved the History of this site. The owners have done an amazing job of renovating the buildings to make it into fabulous and unique place to stay. It was fun to explore the facility and learn about it. The breakfast and dinner served were First class and memorable.

Excellent séjour dans une tour du Magne, restaurée entièrement dans le style de la région. Chaleureux accueil, conseils judicieux pour visiter, le resto est à conseiller. Nous y reviendrons avec plaisir Le Magne est à découvrir.

What a wonderful place, nested in East Mani, away from the tourist crowds. Citta dei Nicliani exceeded our expectations and was all we could dream for. This family run hotel feels more like a home than a hotel. You feel like you have been invited to stay at some friends house and the house happens to be a beautifully converted tower house dated from the 11th century. The owners are incredibly welcoming and make you feel at ease as soon as you enter the property. Whether you want to chill out in the property's stunning grounds or use this as a pad to explore all the surrounding areas of natural beauty, this place will make you happy. Food (all home cooked) is amazing and our room was superbly decorated and functional. We wished we could have stayed longer but will definitely return when we next come to Greece.

Beautifully decorated, very well preserved, great hospitality, great amenities

We stayed a night at this wonderful, family-own, hotel. Warmly greeted by the family upon arrival. Dinner, a beautiful prepared fish, ordered from the à la carte-menu. The breakfast, all homemade, was equally good. Warm, personal, tranquil and cozy atmosphere. We’ll return - for sure.

Hébergement typique dans des bâtiments caractéristiques de la région du Magne (tour carrée en pierres joliment restaurée) Les propriétaires sont charmants et discrets. Très bonne table pour le dîner et le petit-déjeuner typiques réalisés avec des produits frais locaux. Excellent rapport qualité prix.

Fomos bem recebidos pelos proprietários e o lugar e o próprio hotel nos remete a era medieval.

A Beautiful boutique hotel that makes an excellent base for touring the Mani Peninsula. Excellent breakfast. Be sure to arrange for dinner there as well. It’s by far the best dining in the area. The owners are charming and make your stay memorable.

Struttura di classe e cultura non ostentata ma presente ovunque. Concilia gestione familiare con qualita' e tradizione

Tastefully decorated rooms. Very peaceful area Hosts are very welcoming and friendly. They speak very good English. Area is beautiful, very quiet, no shops, only a small supermarket as you enter into the village. But a short drive away are larger little towns. Has food offered for dinner. Very nice breakfast , individual plates given with superb choices. Homemade breads and omelettes. Would love to stay longer next time but great also for 1 night . I couldn’t fault anything. The owners have made a hidden treasure from an old castle ruin.
