OUR REVIEW

Neo Vitilo is a tiny village, snuggly tucked into the Karavostasi-Limeni Bay. It is round the cove from Limeni village and the Porto Vitilo Hotel is the mainstay of the Karavostasi part of the bay.
This is the place we almost missed, nearly running out of time and daylight when we first visited to see it for ourselves - thank goodness we made it in time! Porto Vitilo is as charming as seaside hotels can be in Greece. Combining a select feel with quality and welcome. The style is country club/casual - but informal. The hotel's reception area leads into spacious lounges, comfortable chairs abound to relax into and many areas are great for sitting and reading the book you've promised to finish. Sipping a hot chocolate or venturing a glass of ouzo with meze before the evening truly starts.
It has a little flavour of the canyon and national park inns of the USA.
It has a big, light feel even with its features of more hewn stone a wood beam  ceilings and inviting fireplace but with trees beside it and yet you are by the sea.

Suites are inspiringly decorated and rooms are well furnished and of pleasingly good standard, a quality result. Many have a sea view…but other rooms here have fine & dramatic mountain views. The balconies are stone-trimmed and a fitting treat to help you enjoy the setting.
Update: In late 2009 Porto Vitilo has completed a revovation of rooms, bathrooms and public areas. The style is elegant, boutique, in earthy tones, with an air of sophistication. Photos will be updated soon.

The shingle beach, though not itself impressive is "right there" - just walk across the 25 metres of the hotel's garden and step into the sea! The bay you look out onto often sparkles and the dramatic coastline getting to and from the hotel offers sights, views and stopping points to absorb, drink, photograph and remember for years to come.

To vary your sipping and dining choices - you are just a few minutes from a choice of cafes and tavernas at Limeni, and a bigger selection just a scenic 10 minute drive away in Areopoli.


There is a view far above, of the privately owned 18th century Dekoulou monastery (not in use!) and its gardens with hills cascading to the sea, the hotel has a tranquil feel, especially for a beach-side place.

This is a very scenic area and many drives, routes and villages are spectacular. Some of the places to visit nearby include: Diros caves (12 km), Vatheia the protected village including numerous Mani towers (35 km), the charming Gerolimenas village and bay (30 km), Gytheio a port with beautiful frontage (30 km), Areopoli centre of this part of Mani (6 km).

SuperbGreece.com guest experiences of Porto Vitilo    [Click here to SHOW/HIDE]
The hotel was wonderful. My friends and I enjoyed it very much. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. I've already recommended it to several friends who plan to visit the area.
Rozalia Arnaoutelis
The hotel is a beautiful and cozy place where you can rest and forget all your preoccupations, far from the crowded places. The welcome and the staff are excellent. A "must see", the Porto Vitilo Hotel is one of the best way to discover what we call in French : "La vie de chateau" (Castle-like life). Last but not least, note that the buffet breakfast taken in the patio or in the beautiful restaurant are delightful. In conclusion, let me warmly recommend this place. Hope we can come back in the next few years.

We had a wonderful time at Porto Vitilo. The owner, Konstantinos was very kind as were the other people belonging to the hotel. The hotel, especcialy the terras and lounge are beautiful. They have very nice music and the interior is beautifully decorated. In the beginning the whole bay and surrounding felt a bit isolated but we got used to that. There are only two things that could be better I think: 1. they really should realise that pool they started but never finished! With children a pool is an extra attraction. 2. We had a suite for 5 persons, beautiful , but the bathroom was too small. I was not possible to be in that tiny closet with two persons.
Cathinka Ubbens
Porto Vitilo has a great location on a beautiful bay and the hotel itself is very stylish and comfortable. Both the room and breakfast buffet were the best I had during my trip in Greece. The villages in the area are very small and simple, but their location is wonderful. It’s strange so few people visit this area in late September, because the weather is still great and there is so much to see in the inner and outer Mani; like the Diros Caves, they are spectacular! I certainly plan on coming back here one day.

The reservation at the Hotel Porto Vitilo was very nice and pleasant. The area of Magne is very beautiful. Thank you for your advice. We hope to spend holidays in your country once more.
