Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The service here was amazing, amazing breakfast, oranges, and lemonade. I will definitely remember my time fondly. It sits over the city and looks upon the mountains and sea, and is also a perfect walking distance from the city- this is a must stay at hotel when in Nafplio!

Hotel's Favourite
A beautiful little B&B in an even more beautiful setting up against the Venetian walls of Akronafplio. Stunning views and steps away from the heart and bustle of the old town. Great, modern rooms with all you need for a comfortable stay, breakfast on the terrace with the bay in front of you is to die for ! Best of all is the host’s ‘filoxenia’. Can’t rate Marianna highly enough

My family of 4 including 2 kids stayed at their duplex room. It’s a hidden gem, so charming and so clean with all the amenities. The brothers and the family that run it are beyond nice and this is authentic Greece. I would return just for this place and I surely will - no doubt about it. One word of caution is to be prepared for steep stairs. Don’t bring much luggage. We had maybe 100 stairs to breakfast and reception up and down but we were the furthest room. You can’t avoid the stairs but it was worth it for us.

The pension is in a great location, quiet but close to town with lovely views. Our room was spotlessly clean with a large comfortable bed and a good shower. We had fantastic service from the friendly, experienced owners and all their staff, nothing was too much trouble for them. We also have to mention the delicious breakfast with many homemade items, served on the terrace overlooking the harbour and town. You can park a few minutes away, above the hotel. We are already planning to return. J and I, Bristol.

What a gem this place is!! I went with a friend who had stayed here before and she recommended that we stay here. Not having driven in Greece before it was a bit of challenge to find but I suspect that could have been anywhere as it was my first driving experience in Greece. The parking is conveniently located just up the hill at an abandoned hotel. While that appeared to be a bit sketchy at first, it all worked out in just fine in the end. The hotel is located within walking distance of everything you would love to do in Nafplio. It was also advantageous to be able to venture back to the hotel after some great Greek food in the town. The staff was super friendly and very accommodating. Cappuccino and breakfast were amazing on the lovely rooftop terrace with awesome views of Nafplio from all directions. We used this is our base camp to head out exploring destinations in Peloponnese. I would definitely stay here again!

This hotel. I cannot say enough good things about it. Though the street below the hotel is under construction and there was some fun getting to the parking area above, it was fairly easy once you figured it out. But the Views from the hotel were spectacular. Location to the castles was wonderful. The breakfast…where to start. The best we have had anywhere. Homegrown olives and marmelade. A gorgeous layout for breakfast, and plenty of wonderful homemade food for the morning. An absolutely wonderful, kind and friendly family runs this hotel and they were such a pleasure. The food was absolutely out of this world. The walk to the village was short and Nafplio is wonderful to walk, shop, eat or drink. They have cooking classes too! The room was wonderfully comfortable and we had a small terrace to sit outside in the morning or evening. Very beautiful accommodation and absolutely one of the best places we have stayed. Don’t pass this one up, you will love it! It is a special place.

The Pension Marianna is a unique getaway. Our room had beautiful stone walls, a very attractive and comfortable bed, nice lighting, closets, and attractive bedspreads. The pension was very clean, with pretty painted shutters that were useful for keeping the light out if you slept in. The location was great, the owners very nice; a professionally run delight! Great view from the breakfast area and many of the rooms. Quiet, private and peaceful.

This Hotel is built on the side of the hill below the fortress that overlooks the Nafplio harbor. We found our room enchanting. We stayed in one of the rooms that are actually built into the hill. The walls and the bed frame are all made of stone. Allow me to quickly add that the bed mattress was very comfortable. The room was well lit and the air conditioning was perfect. The private bathroom had been recently updated, and was a reasonable size by European standards. The family who own and manage the place were very helpful. Breakfast was very good. They especially featured lemonade squeezed from lemons that grew on their property. It is a short walk into the heart of Nafplio where there are numerous restaurants and many shopping opportunities.

Nafplio is a must-visit on any trip to Greece. Staying at the pension Marianna was perfect. It's up the hill and has spectacular views of the city and it is still only a few minutes walk from the old-city and all major attractions. The breakfast was spectacular and our room was lovely and clean. But what we loved most at the Pension Marianna, was the people. The Zoltos brothers and their staff are fantastic hosts. We are seasoned travellers and the service we received at Pension Marianna is amongst the best we have had anywhere. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area. Tips: You have to walk a little to reach the hotel from the street parking because the hotel is in a pedestrian only zone (park near the abandoned hotel if possible), but they will gladly help with your bags if you need it. Also, if you have the chance to visit the organic farm to share a meal and cooking class, do it! We spent two weeks in Greece and this was absolutely our favourite experience and meal in Greece. You cannot find a more authentically Greek meal anywhere. Panagiota has a beautiful home and is a wonderful cook and host. I cannot recommend the Pension Marianna highly enough.
