The Best Hotels Near Poseidonion Grand Hotel Spetses, by the Record
-
Pine forests still scent the air on Spetses, where cars are scarce and the Poseidonion has been holding court in French Riviera style since forever. This grand hotel splits between a restored Historic Wing and a newer contemporary one, with a spa, several restaurants, a private cinema, and an art gallery rounding things out. It's the kind of place that makes a ferry crossing feel like an arrival rather than a commute.

The vaulted cellar on the ground floor was once used to press grapes, and you can still feel that in the bones of this 1930s stone villa turned private rental in a quiet Arcadian village. Two master bedrooms, a Finnish sauna, a heated jacuzzi, and indoor and outdoor fireplaces make it a full retreat for a small group. Every stay comes with a complimentary meal at the local tavern, which is either charming or the best orientation tour imaginable.
