The pension is located in the center of the old town, beneath the rock of Upper Nafplio and Palamidi. It was established in 2001 in a neoclassical buildign, on the site of the house of the poet Stephanos Dafne, whose the name was taken by the pension. Close by are the open market of Nafplio, the train and the bus station. 200m from the pension is the picturesque beach od Arvanitia, where visitors can swim and enjoy the pure blue sea beneath the shadow of two castles.
