A Hidden Gem in Nafplio – More Than Just a Hotel!
Staying at Hotel Liberty Nafplio has been an unforgettable experience—far beyond what I expected when I booked it as a base for sightseeing. What a surprise it turned out to be!
The hotel itself is charming and comfortable, with great rooms and a perfect location in the heart of Nafplio, Greece’s first capital city. But the real magic happens on the 4th floor roof garden. When I went up there for dinner, I was absolutely blown away. You’re greeted by a stunning panoramic view of the city, with the majestic Venetian fortress of Palamidi right across from you, perched on a 216-meter-high hill. The setting is out of this world – warm evening air, a refreshing breeze, and the glow of history all around you.
The atmosphere is made even more special by DJ Vasili, a personable and intuitive artist who has a gift for reading the room and setting the perfect vibe. His music flows effortlessly between chill, soulful sounds and seductive classics like Barry White. Whether you're in the mood to dance or just relax under the stars, his music elevates the entire experience.
And then there’s Yiorgos, the bartender. Friendly, engaging, and clearly passionate about his craft, Yiorgos introduced me to a world of cocktails I had never explored before. I usually go for wine or beer, but his creativity and knowledge opened my eyes (and taste buds!) to exciting new flavors and combinations. He didn’t just serve drinks – he crafted cocktails that matched my personality. It was like mixology meets art, with a stunning historical backdrop.
This hotel has soul. It’s where history, hospitality, music, and modern comfort meet. I can’t recommend Hotel Liberty Nafplio enough – whether you’re looking for a cozy place to stay, an amazing dining experience, or simply want to sip a cocktail under the stars while listening to great music and gazing at a Venetian fortress.
Don't miss the roof garden. Ask for Yiorgos to mix you something special, and let DJ Vasili set the mood. You’ll be...
Read moreThis hotel looks new and well-kept. The spotless rooms have a Scandinavian look, with light colored furniture sporting clean lines. The room was efficiently laid out with all amenities a traveler needs. I had room A-7 with a straight on-view of the Venetian fortress, which is beautifully lit up at night, and a nice size balcony with table and chairs. I was especially impressed with the shower set-up. Very well-designed and modern! There is a rooftop restaurant with views of both the fortress and the sea. The breakfast buffet is excellent as is their wi-fi.||If you book as a single, the room will have only one bath towel and one bottle of water. They seem to be reticent to give you two bath towels. When I asked for a second one, I received another hand towel.||Reception staff are friendly, helpful and easy to deal with||The hotel has a lovely location, about a 10 minute walk to the historic area with its lovely lanes for shopping, restaurants and cafes.||I would...
Read moreOur stay at this hotel was a bad choice. Bad sound isolation, you could hear talk from the street, but also the very loud music from the roof top bar (they had a party) of the hotel, despite the fact that our suite was three floors lower. I believe the management should decide whether they want a hotel or a bar, otherwise they should invest in true sound isolation. We couldn't sleep until 02:00. Apart from the noise, the suite we got was not something super (especially for a high price). The closet was open and couldn't fit more than 5-6 clothes, for a room that could accommodate up to three persons. What turned very dangerous is the bathroom. It looked very nice and shiny, but the floor was very slippery, we all slipped, fortunately without getting hurt. The overall experience was bad and had to search for another hotel for the rest of our stay as we couldn't spend there even a second night. Staff was very friendly and breakfast buffet...
