Half the charm of Nafplio is its historic neoclassical buildings : Painted in pastel colors, spectacularly lit up as darkness falls, adorned with traditional antefixes and nostalgic balconies resting on elaborate corbels, with their arched entrances looking like gates for the passage to past centuries. Staying in one of them, instead of just gazing at them from the outside, is the epitome of the romance that is inherent in every trip to Nafplio.
Such a dream of a romantic night promises to make the Ippoliti Hotel, in the heart of Nafplio, just a few steps away from Syntagma Square and the picturesque harbor, a reality.
Housed in a charming 19th century neoclassical mansion, classified as an Art Monument by the Ministry of Culture, the hotel combines earthy luxury with nostalgic references, in an ensemble that invites you to live your own personal fairy tale in Nafplio.
The exemplary, in-depth renovation of the historic mansion bears the signature of the Neoklasiki Group, responsible among others for the iconic bar restaurant 3Sixty, but also for some of the best hotels of Nafplio, such as Castellano and Nafsimedon.
Decorated with masterpieces of artwork that evoke myths and stories from ancient Greece, the rooms of Ippoliti exude an elegant coziness from the moment you first open their door: Earthy tones, ornate lighting, clean lines, wooden floors and furniture of antique style which retain their practical functionality.
You can choose from five different types of rooms, each with their own unique character: standard, superior and deluxe rooms, family suite or junior suite with spectacular sea views.
Our personal favourite, the superior loft with the roof window that will have you gazing at the starry night sky before you go to sleep, is the definition of cozy luxury that is hard to find elsewhere. Its sweet balcony looks right into the face of Bourtzi, which especially in the evenings with its magical lighting reflecting on the sea seems so close, you'd think you could reach out and grab it.
And the mirror with its carved golden frame, which takes up almost the entire wall opposite the bed and is also a TV, manages to combine the two and remind you that technology doesn't always have to be strictly functional - it can also, in spite of everything, be romantic.
In the spacious, marble bathroom with the hydro-massage shower you will enjoy the relaxation you need after the all-day walks in the old town of Nafplio, its museums and its castles.
During the summer months, the rejuvenation options are more, thanks to the outdoor Jacuzzi pool that adorns the backyard. If it's not yet time for a dip, don't worry: Enjoying breakfast at the tables beside it, gazing at the serene waters on one side and the hotel's absolutely pink side façade on the other, has a similar relaxing effect, both mental and physical.
Speaking of breakfast, we have to emphasize that here you have an extra reason to get up every morning from the dreamy anatomical mattress in your room: Handmade delicacies, freshly baked pies, homemade jams, homemade bread, local cheese, farm eggs, fresh fruits and juices and other goodies of the Argolic land await you in a rich buffet that promises to start your day in the best possible way.
It is worth noting that breakfast is served until 10.30, because even we sleepyheads have a soul, and there is also the option to enjoy it, either at the welcoming ground floor area or by the poolside as we mentioned above, in the comfort of your room.
Ippoliti welcomes us all year round, because Nafplio is known to be all-weather and you can never get tired, since it is, as the Neoklasiki Group wisely says, all of Greece in one destination.
