Aethra Boutique Rooms

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.

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.
