Nestled in the heart of Arcadia, one of the most storied regions of the Peloponnese, the Archontiko Leontari Boutique Hotel is more than just a place to stay – it is a journey back in time. With its traditional stone-built architecture, neoclassical details, and serene
atmosphere, the hotel offers guests a rare chance to experience the authentic spirit of Greek hospitality in a setting surrounded by history and nature.
Historical Significance
The hotel itself is a restored archontiko – a traditional mansion – that carries the spirit of Leontari Village, a place that has played a role in the Byzantine and post-Byzantine history
of the Peloponnese. The village of Leontari is known for its Byzantine churches with
stunning frescoes, including the church of Agios Sotirios, and its connection to the medieval Despotate of the Morea. The mansion reflects the same timeless elegance, combining historical architecture with modern comforts.
