On a clifftop overlooking the southernmost tip of Mani, travellers will find Tainaron Blue Retreat, an early-19th-century watchtower stone tower that boasts stunning panoramic views of the southernmost slope of Taygetos Mountain and the endless blue of the sea. The architect owners, Kostas Zouvelos and Kassiani Theodorakakou, came across the tower on holiday the year 1994, and fell in love with the magical location and of course the building itself. So, they did buy it, as it was for sale! Although the renovation started fifteen years later, Kostas and Kassiani created one of the most beautiful boutique hotels of the region. This traditional tower is a perfect example of the defensive architecture of Mani. With their simple and austere beauty, the imposing towers of Mani resist the passage of time and offer a fascinating journey into the past. During the conversion of this three-story tower into a guesthouse, the owners managed to adapt the specific characteristics of the architecture of Mani and at the same time ensure that the interior spaces keep pace with modern aesthetics. As the formation of the exterior spaces had to ensure minimum interference, the addition of a water surface area was adapted to the specific environment and respected the topography of the landscape, resulting in an even and unified set of buildings and space with intensity and character. The Tainaron Blue Retreat offers you the quaint and unique experience of staying in a tower that comes alive from the past, with its traditional narrow stairs and wooden ladders. Its three vintage rooms, with unobstructed sea and mountain views, are equipped with beautiful Coco-mat linen and ecological O-live toiletries and are embellished with works of art created by sculptor Nikos Karalis. Perfectly situated in an idyllic location, overlooking the coastline of Cape Tainaron in Greece, Tainaron Blue is a perfect hideaway, a place to rest and think and to be close to nature.
