This lovely spot is right on Kalamata's sociable pedestrian plaza, with eating and drinking options all around. Rooms, some of which have kitchenettes, are cute, with names like Sweet and Sunny describing their character. Bathrooms are stylish and exposed, though curtains can be drawn. Balconies overlooking the square are great. Ring ahead, as the helpful owners live off-site.
