This was an amazing start to our holiday and our first time in Mani. The village of Limeni is picture postcard perfect with an azure sea. The hotel is an old converted castle with a lovely balcony area where they serve their great included a la carte breakfast in the morning and a nice chill out spot in the evening to watch the sun set. Below there is a sun terrace with allocated sunbeds and private stairs down to the sea. They also provide beach towels and some snorkelling gear. The room kept the luxury vibe with a great bed, nice toiletries and a mezzanine sofa area. But it was the view that really sold it. Straight out to that azure sea and quiet at night. The staff were all really friendly and helpful. I can't recommend this place enough. More general tips - you really need a car to get around Mani and there is ample parking just before the hotel. In the village we ate at Takis and we could actually see the caught fish being delivered from the boat to the restaurant. The food is delicious and if you are lucky you will see a turtle hovering around in the sea nearby. Areopoli is nearby and has some bars and restaurants and well worth visiting the Pirgou caves as well as doing a loop (we went to Gerolimenas and the ghost town of Vathia). We would definitely go back to Mani and stay at this hotel.
