Taygetos | House in Sparta, Peloponnese

“it is a very spartan accomodation. not a hotel as listed, a guest house on a farm property. it is not where directions take you to. this is a know issue and it is incomprehensible why this has not been corrected. ”

“Absolutely perfect location ,close to Sparta and Mystras . Property located in oranges orchard with beautiful view of mountains. The only one minus- shower /toilet combo, which is very small.There is no front desk, to get key instruction you have to call owner.But view was worth it!”

“This was the best stay I had on my trip. Pristine silence and fresh air, and a small heating unit makes the room cozy. Comfy bed, pillows, and blankets. It's "minimal"... but really it has everything you need and more... Nikos was nice, communicative (over phone), and recommended a *great* local restaurant... 'En Chatipi' If you plan right and leave the heater on while showering, you can squeeze 12 minutes of steaming hot water. There's no wifi, but the place gets cell service. I did all my wifi things in town after dinner I visited in March and the oranges outside were ripe and delicious Thank you Nikos”

“One really needs to include the word “lodge” in the directions, otherwise you will end up twice in the wrong place, and locals will tell you Taygetos is, in fact, the mountain. Once you’re on the property, it’s BEAUTIFUL! You’re in the middle of an orchard and the views are breathtaking. It’s like you’re actually living in Greece because it’s not commercial at all. The place is clean and bug free. We stayed on the top floor and it was quiet, so quiet that when a squirrel goes across the roof you think someone is outside, trust me, don’t try to pull up the blinds, though, they may be better attached when you arrive. The furnishings are spartan, (get it?), but you will be going into town, so you won’t need a TV (you’ll live). It’s about a 15 minute walk to downtown, but it’s a nice walk. The shower is a wet bath, so you can check off two tasks at once. The bed was comfy, even for tall people, and an extra heater was in the room. The owner was communicative, though his English was way better than my Greek, we still had a barrier; which brings me back to the beginning of the review. ”

“This is a nice self contained apartment with stunning views and a beautiful yard. The area was quiet apart from the neighbourhood dogs. Its close to the main street of the city and the major attractions. My only issue would be that it is advertised as having cooking facilities but it doesnt but thats not a big deal with so many options nearby.”
