OUR REVIEW
Beautifully created out of hewn stone in the village
of Areopoli, in the heartland of Mani, the magical many turreted and
mystical landscaped area of the Peloponnese.
Trapela has a cozy breakfast room and cafe. Like staying in a small castle - but in
the guise and softer, warmer feel of a modern inn. Homely and with some style, in the centre of
the village.
Pleasing modern bathrooms, stylish wood-beamed
ceilings - the wood and stone of a solid rural building, but this is
the one the squire stays in!
Warm, traditional, full of style and atmosphere, yet with all modern
facilities comfortable and charming.
Quite new, the gorgeous well-crafted stone building but more than
that, Trapela Hotel is a warm and friendly small hotel in the
middle of Areopoli. A find fashioned in historic style in a historic
location a modern, locally-tuned welcoming result.
There are 12 rooms with wood beams and stone walls, some with good
views of this tiny town and its surrounding areas towards the
mountains or in the direction of the sea.
Rooms do not have sweeping large windows, they have cozy views and
simple but truly good furniture. Bathrooms are smart and modern.
Breakfast can be enjoyed in the cafe of the inn or you could
start the day at one of the small tables in the rear courtyard.
Areopoli is the centre of this region and has a calm nature, pleasant
town square and several local style restaurants.
The village is small and friendly with many older (usually stone)
buildings and houses. A unique square with the type of shops that have
disappeared from most village and town centres adds to the character. Read more about Mani and Areopoli
