The hotel

Kardamyli, Mani, Greece

Sobre un promontorio rocoso en la costa de Mesenia, la premiada casa del escritor Patrick Leigh Fermor y su esposa Joan se ofrece hoy como alojamiento exclusivo bajo el Museo Benaki.

Whitewashed vaulted rooms, cool stone terraces and a garden that steps down to the Ionian Sea — the Patrick & Joan Leigh Fermor House is both a monument to one of the great travel writers of the 20th century and a living residence. Guests stay in the master bedroom and study once used by the couple, dine on the pergola-shaded terrace and swim from the private cove below. The property is offered on an exclusive-use basis and is included on countless lists of the world's most beautiful houses.
