Set in the lush green hillside under the dramatic presence of Mt Taygetos, the idyllic Pyrgos Mystra Hotel is at once a place of rest and retreat, and a paradise for any lover of ancient Greece.
The Pyrgos Mystra Hotel is located in the town of Mystra, an ancient fortified town and important seat of Byzantine art and knowledge; in 1989, the ruins of Mystra were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The Pyrgos Mystra Hotel is found in a stone manor house dating from 1850. Beautifully renovated, this luxury boutique hotel is historically significant as a place of hospitality and healing, and the present owners continue this noble tradition by creating a wonderful, peaceful atmosphere and providing perfect service.
A walk through the orange groves, an evening drink on the veranda, or simply the stunning views from the privacy of a bedroom window... guests of the Pyrgos Mystra never wish to leave the dual delights of ancient history and contemporary comfort.
