Surrounded by a landscape that has been considered an earthly paradise since antiquity and situated within a historically preserved building, MANNA is a newly opened luxury mountain retreat in Arcadia, Greece. Replete with Yoga, multiple cozy fireplaces, a serene Wellness & Spa, Sauna in the forest, a Cave Pool, an architectural concept and entirely bespoke furnishings by K-Studio, and farm-to-table cuisine conceived by award-winning Greek chef Athinagoras Kostakos, the hotel offers a place to refresh, reset, and reengage with one’s mind, body, soul, and earthly surroundings.

It is a historic listed building of unique architecture which has been declared a protected monument dating back to the 1920s, named after Anna Mela, who was an aristocrat of the time, who dedicated her life towards the treatment of wounded soldiers. Due to her philanthropic work she was named 'Mother of the Soldier', as MANNA means Mother in Greek! Now a luxury mountain sanctuary, this stunning neoclassical building is set in a secluded natural paradise; a haven for wellness and outdoor adventure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does booking through Rialto cost more than booking with the hotel?

No - VIP rates under Design Hotels Collective always meet or beat hotel's public, flexible rate, and provide valuable amenities and possible upgrades. Rialto also provides the hotel's non-VIP and corporate rates, so you can compare with full transparency.

What is the value of the VIP benefits?

Daily breakfast for two plus the $100 hotel credit come with every stay at this hotel - adding $100-200/day in value. A room upgrade could also be worth a substantial amount, in addition to early check-in / late check-out benefits when available.

How does this compare to other programs, like through AMEX Fine Hotels & Resorts, or Chase Edit?

Using a hotel's own VIP program may provide higher upgrade priority, additional VIP benefits and promotional rate offers, and a direct relationship with the hotel for special requests. Rialto offers more VIP hotels than any credit card program. In addition, Chase Edit rates can be substantially more expensive as they rarely run promotions whereas AMEX rates are often comparable but do not offer programs such as Upgrade at Booking.

Can my AI assistant book this hotel?

Yes. Connect Rialto to Claude or ChatGPT and ask for rates. You finish the booking on a secure Rialto page. Card details are not sent through the AI chat, so either you would approve the final checkout step and reconfirm all the information, or if you authorize your agent with Computer-Use permissions, it can fill out the checkout form as well.
