Londas Tower Guesthouse ReviewThis place is a delight -- and the innkeepers Hans Kleimer and Iakovos are a big part of what makes this place so special. Just off Ayii Taxiarches Square, the Londas Guesthouse has three doubles and a triple in a restored 18th-century tower that once was the home of the War of Independence hero Petrobey Mavromichaelis. Each unit has an en suite bathroom, done with wonderful attention to detail. Throughout, there are paintings done by the innkeepers. There are views over the town from the rooms and their terraces. There's no air-conditioning (the winds here are so fierce that it is almost never needed) and, to ensure tranquillity, no TVs. The innkeepers are amazingly helpful, serve wonderful homemade preserves at breakfast, and have great suggestions on how best to enjoy the Mani. One of their suggestions alerted me to a great new taverna in town: the Katoi . Facilities: Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip. Related Features

| 3 stars | Frommer's Exceptional |
Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
