THE TAINARON BLUE TOWER
Explore the natural beauty of this traditional hotel in Mani
Tainaron Blue Retreat is housed in an early 19th-century stone tower that boasts stunning panoramic views of the southernmost slope of Taygetos mountain and the sea. Perfectly situated in an idyllic location, it is an ideal place to watch the magical sunset over the sea or witness the serene beauty of a new day dawning.
There are two things that make a room timeless:
a sense of history and a piece of the future.

EXCELLENT Based on 225 reviews Posted on Tripadvisor Matius A peaceful retreat with exceptional food and wine We spent five wonderful days at Tainaron Blue and couldn’t have asked for a more relaxing stay. The setting is beautiful, with stunning sea views and a real sense of peace and seclusion. The food was excellent throughout our stay, and the wine list deserves a special mention. The impressive selection of Greek wines made every meal even more enjoyable. Kostas was a wonderful host and made us feel genuinely welcome. We had the tower room, which has a unique charm and character, although the staircase is quite steep and narrow. A truly special place to enjoy peace and quiet, excellent food and wine, and warm Greek hospitality.Posted on Tripadvisor Isabella H Unique. We had wonderful and unforgettable days at Tainaron Blue. The place is magical, the care provided by Kostas and his small team is very personal and attentive. The cook prepared fresh meals for us every day. We had the room in the tower, where we slept wonderfully - like in a (very comfortable) bird's nest in the clouds. The uniqueness of the place, the comfort, the food, the service, the swimming pool - nothing left anything to be desired.Posted on Tripadvisor Roland G A true gem During our 2-week September trip to the Peloponnese, we treated ourselves to 2 nights at the Tainaron Blue. You are so lovingly looked after and cared for by Kostas and his team that you really do not want to be anywhere else. The defensive tower was converted into a great hotel with great attention to detail. You can also notice just as much love in the selection and preparation of the food. It does not matter whether it is the multi-course breakfast or the dinner. The great wine list with a focus on Greece also fits perfectly. From the first to the last minute, we felt like we were in heaven, which was not only due to the fact that our "sleeping chamber" was on the upper floor of our junior suite ;-) This stay will always remain in our memory.Posted on Tripadvisor Desperadou Excellent, would love to come back again We arrived with high expectations and were not disappointed. Great host, great little team. One could always look for a fly in the ointment... But we didn't find one 😊 10 out of 10! Thank you Kostas!Posted on Tripadvisor Canterbury Tales Wonderful hospitality and location! Highly recommended! Wonderful location perched above the sea; amazing views. The tower is unique; the room in the tower has been thoughtfully designed - be prepared for a climb! - and is very comfortable. The terrace is a haven of tranquility with shade, views and the sounds of nature. The view from the plunge pool is amazing. The hospitality offered is first class. The breakfasts are sumptuous and the dinners are delicious. Everything is prepared with care and attention to provenance and presentation. Kostas is a terrific host passionate about the guests’ experience and comfort. He is also a great source of information on the area.Posted on Tripadvisor Annafrombrussels Sublime experience in an enchanting setting with very attentive staff. Magnificent enchanted setting for a dream stay surrounded by hyper-attentive staff, infinity pool where swallows come to drink at certain hours, hyper-neat room with a breathtaking view from the top of our tower, sumptuous breakfast where everything is homemade with top-quality ingredients, staff taking great care to ensure the stay is unforgettable. Kostas gave us a lot of info about the surroundings to make the most of our stay (4 nights). We recommend it!!Posted on Tripadvisor Loïc B Wonderful Authentic & Intimate Retreat What a beautiful and intimate place! It's hard to imagine a more authentic experience. The beautifully restored tower is truly wonderful. Kostas is an incredibly attentive host who makes sure every meal served is exquisite, and it truly is.Posted on Tripadvisor Carol L Perfectly peaceful When you find yourself waiting for next year’s availability to open to rebook, you know you’ve found a great place. The location at the end of the Mani peninsula is breathtaking - you feel the power of history, the rugged land and the relentless sea - but it’s utterly tranquil too. We could have spent the whole time just gazing. The retreat itself is wonderful - beautifully restored and stylish without being jarring. Every little detail carefully chosen and deeply appreciated. And to food! We were amazed by the selection and quality of what we were served. Delicious and beautifully presented. Our room was suitably unique - bags of style which made the best of the Mani tower limitations. Kostas proved a great host - generous with his advice about the local area and diligent in maintaining an atmosphere of calm relaxation. We pinched ourselves several times a day to find ourselves somewhere so perfectly itself. We will return. Thank you Kostas and team for a wonderful stay,Posted on Tripadvisor Ofir N Exceeded expectations! Wow, what an experience at Tainaron Blue Retreat. We couldn't have asked for more. The place is beautiful, set on a cliff with the most incredible view of the sea. Sitting by the infinity pool just looking out at it... that alone is worth the trip. Kostas took such good care of us. Personal attention, great recommendations, and always checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. Breakfast was incredible, generous and honestly the best we've had. We also had dinner one evening which was wonderful and really added to the whole experience. The entire team is lovely and professional. We're already waiting to come back. For us, this place is simply the best.Posted on Tripadvisor Panagiota Sklivanou It doesn't get better than this. Normally, I do not write hotel reviews, as I believe that aesthetics and personal preferences are always subjective. However, regarding the 'Tainaron Blue', I feel it is almost a duty to speak about this extraordinary place. It is not an ordinary hotel, but an authentic Maniot tower that has been restored with great respect for its original architecture. It is located in the middle of nowhere in the laconic Mani, where one no longer knows where the dream ends and reality begins. The hospitable owner Kostas has created something amazing. With passion and dedication, he has restored this traditional tower and transformed it into a beautiful guesthouse with only four rooms. From there, one enjoys a fantastic view of the sea. The lovely outdoor area with its olive trees invites you to enjoy an excellent Greek breakfast, have an afternoon aperitif next to the small, charming pool where swallows chirp while drinking water, and experience an outstanding dinner in the evening. The dishes are created by a renowned Greek chef and impeccably served by the friendly staff. However, all of this would only be half as valuable without the presence of the host Kostas. With his warmth, kindness, and always friendly smile, he ensures that you feel at home from the very first moment. I have been coming here for many consecutive summers and will continue to return as long as I can. It is a unique place where one completely forgets everyday life. Thank you very much, Kostas, for this special oasis of hospitality.
EXCELLENT Based on 149 reviews Posted on Google Brett WaterhouseTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our week at Tainaron Blue Retreat was nothing short of life-changing. Staying in a meticulously restored 19th-century tower perched high above the Mani coastline felt like being let in on Greece’s best-kept secret. The balance between historical preservation and raw luxury is breathtaking. Words cannot describe the beauty of waking up to sweeping, unobstructed views of the deep blue sea colliding with the Taygetos mountains. The property’s crown jewel is easily the cliffside infinity plunge pool. Floating on the edge at sunset, sipping local wine as swifts skimmed the water under a golden sky, was a daily ritual we wished could last forever. And then there is the food. The never-ending, multi-course breakfast spreads redefined morning dining for us. Each evening, the private dinner menu highlighted authentic, modern Maniot cuisine that easily rivaled Michelin-starred establishments. Above all, Kostas and his miraculous staff do not just run a boutique hotel, they anticipate your every desire to curate an unforgettable experience. Their genuine passion and discreet hospitality made us feel like royalty. It is a truly rare hideaway, and one we will be returning to for years to come.Posted on Google breezymcgzTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We stayed two nights at Tainaron Blue and loved every minute. The view from the property is incredible, and our room in the tower house was exactly what we had hoped for. The thoughtful touches were everywhere. The bath products and the chocolates at turndown were so good we asked where to buy more. What makes this hotel truly special is the proprietor, Kostas, and his staff. They set the bar for hospitality, and you can tell they all care deeply about giving guests an exceptional experience. Kostas's recommendations were spot on. The small size also made for a warm atmosphere, and we made friends with other guests. The food is excellent too. We had dinner there, and the fish of the day (Red Porgy on our evening) and Maniot potatoes was the best meal of our entire Greece trip, which is saying something because we ate very well. We're already dreaming of another stay!Posted on Google KteaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dès notre arrivée, nous sommes accueillis par le Maître des lieux souriant et attentionné 👍👍👍 Nos bagages sont pris en charge, déposés dans notre chambre ! Le propriétaire, très à l’écoute, nous délivre des conseils pour visiter et dîner autour de ce lieu unique ! La vue est juste magnifique , calme et reposante 🤩🤩🤩 Le petit déjeuner est servi avec gourmandise en présentant chaque plat avec beaucoup de délicatesse ! Je recommande vivement ce lieu magique !Posted on Google Nadja LaeubliTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kostas is a natural-born host, and his Tainaron Blue is a true paradise with a fantastic view.

Uniqie placePosted on Google Julia SchweglerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ein einzigartiger Ort mit ganz besonderem Charakter! Das Tainaron Blue Retreat ist schon architektonisch etwas ganz Besonderes: Ein alter Wehrturm wurde mit unglaublich viel Gespür und Geschmack in ein außergewöhnliches kleines Hotel verwandelt. Nur vier Wohneinheiten, ein wunderschöner Infinity-Pool und verschiedene, sehr ästhetische Sitz- und Liegebereiche schaffen eine Atmosphäre, in der man sofort zur Ruhe kommt. Die Kombination aus historischen Elementen, hochwertigen Materialien und moderner, zurückhaltender Gestaltung ist wirklich beeindruckend – hier kommen Auge und Seele gleichermaßen zur Ruhe. Dazu kommt die fantastische Lage: Von der Anlage aus hat man einen atemberaubenden Blick über das Meer und die beeindruckende Küstenlinie der Mani. Gerade die Weite und die wilde Landschaft machen diesen Ort so besonders. Auch kulinarisch wurden wir jeden Tag aufs Neue begeistert. Das mehrgängige Frühstück variiert täglich und ist wunderbar auf regionale Produkte und Slow Food ausgerichtet. Auch die Möglichkeit, abends im Hotel zu essen, haben wir sehr gerne genutzt – eine schöne Auswahl, hervorragende Produkte und eine ausgesprochen feine Zubereitung. Und dann sind da die vielen kleinen Besonderheiten, die den Aufenthalt perfekt machen: Abends warteten Pralinen als Betthupferl auf uns, das Zimmer wurde noch einmal für die Nacht hergerichtet und Kostas gab uns wunderbare, ganz individuelle Tipps für Ausflüge und Restaurants. Kostas ist dabei ein perfekter Gastgeber: aufmerksam und präsent, wenn man ihn braucht, gleichzeitig aber angenehm diskret und nie aufdringlich. Man fühlt sich vom ersten Moment an willkommen und sehr persönlich umsorgt. Das Tainaron Blue Retreat ist für uns ein ganz besonderer Ort – stilvoll, authentisch, ruhig und voller Seele. Ein Hotel, das man nicht nur besucht, sondern als Erlebnis in Erinnerung behält. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen.Posted on Google Laura DIDIERTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Magnifique hôtel!

Ένας υπέροχος χώρος, μοναδικά τοποθετημένος στη Μάνη, με εξαιρετική αισθητική, ηρεμία, καθαριότητα και μια φιλοξενία που σε κάνει πραγματικά να αισθάνεσαι ξεχωριστός. Υπάρχουν κάποια μέρη που απλώς τα επισκέπτεσαι και κάποια άλλα που σε αγγίζουν πραγματικά. Το Tenaron Blue ανήκει αναμφισβήτητα στη δεύτερη κατηγορία. Αυτό που εντυπωσιάζει από την πρώτη στιγμή είναι η απίστευτη προσοχή στη λεπτομέρεια. Ο ιδιοκτήτης, έχει δημιουργήσει έναν χώρο στον οποίο τίποτα δεν μοιάζει τυχαίο. Κάθε επιλογή, κάθε υλικό, κάθε γωνιά, κάθε μικρό διακοσμητικό στοιχείο φαίνεται να έχει μελετηθεί με αγάπη και σεβασμό προς τον τόπο. Και αυτό ακριβώς είναι που κάνει τη διαφορά. Δεν πρόκειται απλώς για ένα όμορφο κατάλυμα. Πρόκειται για ένα ολοκληρωμένο αισθητικό αποτέλεσμα, όπου η αρχιτεκτονική, η φύση και το τοπίο συνυπάρχουν αρμονικά. Ιδιαίτερη εντύπωση προκαλεί η αρχιτεκτονική του τοπίου. Η φύτευση, οι διαδρομές, οι πέτρινες κατασκευές, οι χώροι χαλάρωσης και η αξιοποίηση του φυσικού περιβάλλοντος δεν ανταγωνίζονται το τοπίο της Μάνης· αντίθετα, μοιάζουν να αποτελούν φυσική προέκτασή του. Είναι σαν ο χώρος να δημιουργήθηκε με σκοπό να αναδείξει την ομορφιά που υπήρχε ήδη εκεί. Και ίσως αυτό να είναι το μεγαλύτερο επίτευγμα: ότι ο άνθρωπος δεν προσπάθησε να επιβληθεί στη φύση, αλλά να συνομιλήσει μαζί της. Ο κ. Ζούβελος φαίνεται να έχει κατανοήσει κάτι πολύ σημαντικό: η πραγματική πολυτέλεια δεν βρίσκεται στην υπερβολή. Βρίσκεται στην ποιότητα των υλικών, στην αρμονία, στη σωστή αναλογία, στη λειτουργικότητα, στην καθαρότητα των γραμμών και κυρίως στις μικρές λεπτομέρειες που ο επισκέπτης μπορεί να μην αντιληφθεί συνειδητά, αλλά αισθάνεται συνολικά. Και ίσως το πιο συγκινητικό είναι πως στο Tenaron Blue δεν φιλοξενείσαι απλώς σε έναν παλιό πύργο· φιλοξενείσαι μέσα στην ίδια την ιστορία. Οι πέτρινοι τοίχοι, τα σημάδια του χρόνου και κάθε γωνιά του κουβαλούν μνήμες μιας άλλης εποχής. Για λίγες ημέρες δεν είσαι απλώς επισκέπτης· γίνεσαι, έστω και για λίγο, κομμάτι μιας ιστορίας που συνεχίζεται. Κι αυτή η αίσθηση είναι ανεκτίμητη. Όμως αυτό που, για μένα, κάνει το Tenaron Blue πραγματικά ξεχωριστό είναι ότι πίσω από την όμορφη εικόνα υπάρχει ευαισθησία, ανθρωπιά και έμπρακτη προσφορά. Η φιλανθρωπική και κοινωνική του δράση δείχνει ότι η επιτυχία αποκτά πραγματική αξία όταν επιστρέφει στην κοινωνία και στηρίζει ανθρώπους που το έχουν ανάγκη. Το Tenaron Blue δεν είναι απλώς ένα όμορφο μέρος για να μείνεις. Είναι ένα παράδειγμα του πώς η αισθητική, η αρχιτεκτονική, η φύση, η φιλοξενία και η κοινωνική ευαισθησία μπορούν να συνυπάρξουν δημιουργώντας κάτι πραγματικά ξεχωριστό. Ένα μεγάλο μπράβο στον κ. Ζούβελο για το μεράκι, το όραμα και την εξαιρετική προσοχή στη λεπτομέρεια. Γιατί τελικά, αυτό που κάνει ένα μέρος μοναδικό δεν είναι μόνο όσα βλέπεις, αλλά κυρίως η σκέψη και η αγάπη που κρύβονται πίσω από αυτά. Tenaron Blue: ένας χώρος που δεν φιλοξενεί απλώς επισκέπτες· τους προσφέρει μια εμπειρία που μένει στη μνήμη. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
EXCELLENT Based on 80 reviews Posted on BookingAlina10 ☺Incredible views and incredible breakfastPosted on BookingErin10 ten out of ten wonderful ! ☺where do we begin ? the hotel and the staff was the absolute very highlight of our trip to Greece .Everything at this remarkable hotel is complete perfection . Kostas takes his architecture expertise to a whole new level -from revamping and restoring and ingeniously installing several beautiful apartments and the main kitchen in his restored Maniot Tower with sensational grounds all so beautifully terraced to complement the period style. His lighting and furniture design is unbelievable. most of all his special and wonderful hospitality delighted us in every possible way . HIs complete commitment to his guests happiness is evident in every way . A large well thought out seasonal menu designed by his sifnos friend and restauranteur george (of omega 3 sifnos ) was excellent ! we only ate at the hotel the entire time it was superb and each night a special dessert was given to the guests as well . Kostas’ leisurely delicious Full breakfasts insured that we could hike and swim around all day before returning for spectacular sunset dining. His wine list was ingeniously aligned from top to bottom -from north to south -from mainland Greece to Crete and Every bottle was an adventure! His knowledge of wines was a delight to learn about and taste . Tainaron Blue is a true real treasure in the deep Mani and we were so grateful to Kostas (and his attentive staff) for the high level cultural immersion. the owner the staff the beautiful location the view the excellent food the fabulous infinity pool all so well designed with comfortable places to sit and relax . the sunset was the best all sunsets we’ve seen on our travels through greece ! thank you kind kostas truly a ten out of ten all the way ! love and gratitude erin and nathanPosted on BookingMaryann10 An exceptional experience all around. ☺The property is stunning architecturally with the natural environment complementing. The host Kosta was so accommodating he anticipated every need . The staff were wonderful. We had breakfasts and dinners at the retreat which were exceptional. Overall the experience we had at Tainaron was one of the best we have had in all our years of traveling.Posted on BookingLiz10 Serenity and tranquility at a magical location ☺Our stay at Tainaron Blue Retreat was truly unforgettable. Tucked high above the Mani coastline in a beautifully restored 19th-century tower, the property feels like a hidden world of its own. It manages to preserve the character and history of the building while offering an incredible level of comfort and luxury. The setting is simply spectacular. The infinity plunge pool, perched right on the cliffside, was undoubtedly one of our favourite parts of the retreat, with breathtaking views across the endless blue of the sea. Our Tower Room was an experience in itself. Reaching it by climbing the winding stairs only added to the charm and made the room feel like our own little hideaway. Despite its unique character, it was surprisingly spacious and incredibly cosy, with a charming private balcony that quickly became our favourite spot for enjoying our morning coffee. Everything was immaculate, with the room being beautifully refreshed every day and a thoughtful evening turndown service each night. Coming back to find delicious chocolates waiting on the table was such a lovely touch. And the bathroom was something truly special — soaking in the bathtub while watching the sunset through the window. Breakfast was a beautifully presented feast, while the evening meals showcased modern interpretations of traditional Maniot cuisine. Every dish felt thoughtful, fresh and full of local character, and the quality was exceptional. What truly made our stay special, though, was the people. Kostas and his wonderful team have created something far beyond a boutique hotel. They have an incredible ability to anticipate what you need while still making everything feel effortless and personal. Their warmth, attention to detail and genuine passion for hospitality made us feel incredibly well cared for throughout our stay. Tainaron Blue Retreat is the kind of place that stays with you long after you leave, so much so that I have already booked a stay for next year! ☹There is nothing not to like about Tainaron, it's perfection!Posted on BookingNadja10 Posted on BookingJohannes10 Posted on BookingMarc10 ☺Everything!!
