The hotel is well located, close to Sparti and the archaeological site of Mystras, easy to find with parking on site. Although it seems to be relatively new, the decoration is somewhat poor/all fashioned. We stayed for one night and might have been the only guests around. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. We were also offered an upgrade to a very well sized suite, which was much appreciated. There is also a very nice good sized pool, which unfortunately closes at 7pm.
Located in Mystras, Mystras Grand Palace Resort & Spa has free bikes and seasonal outdoor swimming pool. The 5-star hotel has air-conditioned rooms with a private bathroom and free WiFi.

This was a really nice place to stay. I had a single room and it was perfect. The bed was comfortable and not too small. There is a light above the bed for reading, and unusually for a single room there are two comfortable pillows. The shower is excellent and there's plenty of hot water. All in all, it's the perfect single room. And, the owner is really nice and helpful.

A very special place to stay. If you are walking the E4 Peloponnese Way, staying at Archontiko is one of the highlights of the whole journey. It's made memorable by its kind and friendly hosts, Maria and Yiorgos. The lovingly restored house is full of character, quiet and comfortable. It's a marvelous place to relax. The food served is excellent, and many thanks to Stephanie for her kindness in making the meal possible. Archontiko is the hub for walking in the Taygetos mountains, and you will not find anyone more knowledgeable about walking in the area than Yiorgos, who oversees the E4 in the Peloponnese. I was reluctant to leave, and I would love to go back to it one day.

I could happily stay longer in the superb hotel, but mainly there is one sight to see in Mystras - the site of the old Byzantine city.
We spent longer there than anticipated; and if we had more time and energy we could have spent the entire day.
Drive to the top; see the citadel and the churches at the top. Drive to the bottom to see the rest of the site.
There is good information at the site, but prepare by reading up ahead and ideally have a good guidebook to make clear what to see at the site.

The Mystras Archeological Site is an extraordinary...
The Mystras Archeological Site is an extraordinary collection of Byzantine churches and ruins, built into and atop a steep mountain. Allow at least two hours and be prepared for lots of walking on slippery, uneven, steep surfaces. Worth it!
Tip: easy to park in Mystras main square, with multiple tavernas to choose from for lunch or dinner.

It's a small town or you can even call it a village.
It's a small town or you can even call it a village. Coffee drinks and food can be found in the center square of that village. Ideal location to visit the famous Castle city of Mystras and after that, regroup and continue your journey. If i may suggest, the route from there to Kalamata through Taygetos mountain (EO82) is amazing...

I am very sorry for the CONFUSION in my review particualrly of this place. UNFORTUNATELY we could only spend ONE night at this magical and extraordinary PYRGOS OF MYSTRA. It was one of the most memorable places I have stayed in. Our host MARIA excels in her efficiency and kindness. The whole place has an aura of serenity and peace. It is no doubt due to the staff but also the surroundings: a profusion of orange and lemon trees, paerfumed roses and a beautifully landscaped garden. The room is not only beautiful but extremely well equipped and it was the best shower during my trip to Greece! We really received the royal treatment and in the magnificent dining room we were served a most delicious breakfast. I was so very sorry to leave the place the next morning and I woud recommend, without any hesitation, this particular hotel and make sure that you can spend MORE than only one night there. Our fondest appreciation to Maria.

Lovely quaint village within walking distance of the ancient archaeological sites, which are stunning.
It’s all very hilly to take a taxi to the top gate of the site if you’re feeling lazy - then it’s just up to the castle and then it’s all downhill back through the site and down into town

An amazing ruined city - great for anyone interested in history. We started at the top, walking up to the fortress then down through the city . We did not move our car as some tourist books recommend. The restaurant is outside the site but tickets are valid all day so no problem returning to walk back up - recommend this as you see things from a different perspective going in the opposite direction. There are sufficient information boards. Be aware there is only one toilet on site. Good shoes are a must - these are ruins! Highly recommend.
A lovely traditional house, high in the mountains, with beautiful hikes nearby. The real gems are the kind couple who run it, for whom I’d give 15/10. Impossible to do them justice in a few lines, but if you’ve been there, you know! Outstanding food, outstanding welcome, outstanding service, outstanding attention to detail, over and above anything a 5* hotel could ever offer because it comes from the heart. WHAT an experience! We miss them already …
Excellent place to stay. Staff were incredibly accommodating and friendly, it was easy to find and park at, the facilities are beautiful. Property was beautifully kept and clean. Location is great just between Mystras and the surrounding villages and the town of Sparti. Breakfast was excellent, plenty of hot food, fruits, breads, marmelades, desserts. Easily a top choice to stay at if you're traveling in Lakonia.
Our room was quiet in a new section of the hotel. It was considerably larger than expected and was very clean. The hotel had a restaurant in another building, where we had dinner on our first eveving, and there were several other restaurants close by. It was only 1.5 km from the main parking lot of the Mystra archaeological site, and less than 4 km from the upper parking lot.
Amazing landscape around the hotel with two large pools and a kids pool among olive trees, lawn and beautiful gardens. Large and comfortable rooms with nice decorations and finishing. The food at the restaurant was excellent and the breakfast very tasty with many local products. Very professional and helpful staff that is always available. Mystras castle is 6-7 minutes drive.
Great and rejuvenating weekend at what we believe is the best SPA-Hotel in Greece.
Great location, just below a forest, good view, quiet, easy to reach from Athens, very professional and friendly staff. Great SPA facilities, professional treatments, comfortable rooms, very good beds, very good breakfast.
Very good idea to have mobile-free areas.
Excellent location in a very romantic place. The hotel itself has kept its '60s charm without being dated and has a modern antique feel about it, which is quite unique. The pool area at the back is a lovely and quiet place to relax and cool off after visiting the archaeological site of Mystras. Great breakfast to set you off to a good start!
We had a wonderful time. Elena and her husband are very friendly and welcoming hosts. The apartment was super clean, spacious, comfortable and well-equipped, including the kitchen utensils. The bathroom was fabulous, with plenty of hot water. There is private parking in the property and the location is perfect to visit Mystras.
We were a group of 21 adults, and this hotel was exactly what we needed.
The Suites are very large and comfortable
The area is surrounded by olive and orange trees and the smell of the nature was great.
the staff was excellent and we even had a chance to make our own party after dinner.
thank you
The staff were amazing and the hospitality was excellent. The bungalows were renovated and very comfortable. The property is a five minute walk to the charming town of Mystras where there are many good restaurants. The pool area was very clean and well maintained and a nice break from the heat.
The location is great with several restaurants nearby.
Big room, spacious and well clean. Bathroom good, spacious, shower good. Bed very comfortable.
Private parking.
Loved the host Helena, extremely sympathetic and pleasant.
Highly recommended. Ideal for visiting Mystras and Sparti.
We stayed 2 nights and kept talking about the fact that if we had longer in Greece we could have been very happy staying longer. The location on the mountain is so beautiful, the room (Olive) was huge and well designed, and the staff was very accommodating.
Fabulous stay. Gorgeous facilities and fabulous breakfast delivered directly to your room. The view of mystras from our balcony was breathtaking - it’s a shame we couldn’t stay longer. Loved it!
