Ippoliti
Stay in classic Nafplio style at Ippoliti.

The whole property has been renovated to add modern conveniences to the historic atmosphere.
Start your day with a breakfast buffet featuring local cheeses, homemade pies, and jams alongside a fireplace or outside amid the gardens and pool. Take a dip in the pool or its neighboring jacuzzi or book a massage to fully bliss out in between your explorations of the city, whose top sites are just steps from your door.

Each has its own distinct design combining luxury details with earthy tones, natural materials, and art by the Italian artist Francesco Moretti. Enjoy breakfast with dairy from the family creamery, handmade baked goods, and local honey and jams, then head back to the Wild Duck restaurant in the evening for creative cocktails and Greek fare in an equally stylish environment.
