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.


A Boutique Experience in Arcadia

Visitors arriving at Archontiko Leontari are welcomed with warmth, wooden interiors, stone fireplaces, and spacious rooms that blend rustic charm with boutique style. Each suite tells a story – from hand-carved furniture to carefully chosen textiles that echo local tradition. The hotel is designed for travelers seeking a romantic getaway, cultural exploration, or simply a retreat into nature.


Travel Tips

● Explore Leontari Village: Walk the cobbled streets, visit Byzantine churches, and

admire the old stone houses.

● Local Gastronomy: Don’t miss traditional Arcadian dishes – kokkinisto, hilopites,

and local wines.

● Nature Walks: Surrounding Leontari are lush forests and hills perfect for hiking,

photography, and birdwatching.

● Day Trips: From Leontari, visitors can easily reach Tripoli, Monemvasia, or the

archaeological sites of Mantineia and Tegea.


Why Stay at Archontiko Leontari?

Because it is more than accommodation – it is an immersive cultural experience. Here, history, tradition, and modern comfort merge seamlessly, giving you a memorable stay in the heart of Greece.
