Kolokotronis Hotel & Spa

Stoupa | Greece – Peloponnese

⭐⭐⭐+

 
Nestled into the olive-clad hills above Stoupa, Kolokotronis Hotel & Spa is a charming stone-built hideaway with wide-open views across the Messinian Gulf. Think bougainvillea-framed terraces, a relaxed saltwater pool, a small spa and generously sized self-catering apartments that make slow Peloponnese days feel effortless. With flexible board options from Self Catering to Half Board, you can dine poolside at Agnantio Restaurant or wander down to the seafront tavernas whenever the mood takes you.

A cluster of honey-stone villas stepping down a hillside, Kolokotronis Hotel & Spa feels more like a traditional Mani village than a typical beach hotel. From the pool terrace and restaurant you’ll gaze over olive groves to the shimmering sea, while studios and apartments give you space to spread out and self-cater. Add in a small spa, saltwater pool with children’s section and a relaxed, family-run atmosphere, and you’ve got a quietly scenic base for discovering Stoupa and the wider Peloponnese.

For couples and families seeking Greece’s unspoilt Peloponnese charm, Kolokotronis Hotel & Spa balances rustic character with easy holiday living. Set in a peaceful hillside location around 400m from the beach and 500m from the nearest tavernas, it’s an idyllic retreat without feeling isolated. It’s approximately 1 hour 15 minutes from Kalamata airport. See more Greece holidays.

Pool Areas and Beach

The hotel’s outdoor saltwater pool is the focal point of the complex, edged by sunbeds and parasols and oriented to make the most of those big sea and sunset views.
