Settled in the oldest part of Dimitsana, just below the castle, this traditional settlement is housed in an 18th century building. Today, the carefully restored 2-storey guesthouse offers 5 uniquely decorated rooms retaining their original character. Each guestroom features authentic 19th century antiques. Luxury touches include handcrafted carpets, fireplaces and in some rooms a fireplace and spa bath. On the ground floor, guests can find the reception and the lounge with its big fireplace and a bar. Αlso available are a big flat TV screen with home cinema equipment, free wifi and table games. If you arrive by car please don't ask for directions to Proselinos on Google Maps because Maps lead guests on a narrow, dangerous road. As such, arrive at the centre of Dimitsana, park and come on foot. The Guesthouse is a minute walk from the center. Parking spaces / several options 1. Follow the narrow road opposite the supermarket “Kazas” in the centre of Dimitsana and between the coffee shops “Aroma Plateias” and “Kentrikon” and you’ll find a free parking space. Then Google the Guesthouse. Proselinos is a minute's walk from there. 2. Park for free at the town's entrance or exit. Those free parking spaces are a bit farther from the Guesthouse.

    We had an amazing stay. Stefanos and his wife are lovely people, the best hosts you could ever ask for. The breakfast is really one of the best we ever had in a hotel. If there is one place you’re staying in Dimitsana, it should be this one!

Property information

Proselinos is an old home of an historical Dimitsanitan family of Skagiannis. The mother of the famous Greek poet Kostas Karyotakis belonged to this family. Kostas Karyotakis himself stayed in the house in July 1927! Proselinos is located in the center of Dimitsana and it is one of the renovated houses, that followed the strict guidelines of the Greek architectural authorities and fully preserved the traditional architecture of the mountains of Central Peloponnese. Proselinos was always a home, and we tried hard to make it feel like a home - your home! Feel free to enjoy it !

Neighbourhood information

Dimitsana is located in the center of Peloponnese, at the southwestern slopes of Mainalon, at an altitude of 950 to 1020 meters. The Greeks call it "powder keg" because in the years of Turkish domination there were small manufacturing facilities making gunpowder. This gunpowder "fed" the Revolution against the Turks in 1821. You must visit the Open Museum of Water Power, a park, full of water and of particular interest. Learn how much power had the water in the pre-industrial period and how it facilitated the people. You will also see a fulling mill, where people washed their clothes, a mill where the grain was grinded, a tannery and a gun powder mill. It is worth visiting by car or by foot (it is just 2 km from Dimitsana). Dimitsana is a very impressive town with beautiful traditional architecture and spectacular places. Wandering in the narrow streets, you will travel in the history admiring the family home of Paleon Patron Germanos, the house where the Patriarch Gregory V was born, which is preserved and is operating as a church museum. There is one of the oldest Greek libraries in Dimitsana! It is a library and Historical Museum. You can see some of the first books
