Former wine tanks are now a charming seaside property with modern rooms, a garden, and a restaurant
Very cool hotel with rooms that used to be wine storage tanks. Amazing service, delicious food, great location on a quiet beach.
Overview
Located on Kourouta Beach in the western Peloponnese, the Dexamenes Seaside Hotel offers a peaceful stay just steps from the Ionian Sea. Enjoy the golden sand of Kourouta or stroll to Palouki Beach, 8 minutes away. Those interested in history can drive to Ancient Olympia in just over 30 minutes, while Ancient Elis is 25 minutes away by car. Wineries and hiking sites pepper the area, which makes this hotel ideal for exploring various aspects of the region.
Former wine tanks now comprise this property, which offers 37 modern and industrial rooms with terraces. Those hoping to dine in can book a room with a kitchen that includes a fridge, dishwasher and microwave. Two-bedroom options are available for larger parties and a three-bedroom villa can accommodate up to 10 guests. Beachfront rooms provide an atmospheric stay right on the water, while other options offer views of the courtyard or the backyard.
What really sets Dexamenes Seaside Hotel apart is its history. The hotel is a 1920s industrial winery that has been thoughtfully transformed into a boutique hotel, allowing guests to interact with the culture of the area that has been intricately shaped by grape cultivation. Travelers can enjoy the unique experience of staying in former wine tanks, combining the hotel's rich history with the fantastic nature of its beachfront location.
