The hotel the view and their delicious handmade food were unique.

But the best thing was the hospitality of the owner and his wife.
Coming to Tripoli for professional reasons and due to the lack of Hotels to the town we found this amazing place which is 25 minutes from the town Tripolis.

Le rapport qualité/prix est exceptionnel ! L’accueil à été super et l’hôtel est vraiment très bien situé dans les montagnes. Reçu comme si j'étais de la famille.

Mention spéciale pour la cuisine, le petit-déjeuner était copieux et très bon, les dîners merveilleux avec une cuisine locale et des produits tout fait maison, je me suis régalé.
Exceptionnel !!!!

Το σαλόνι του ξενοδοχείου πολύ ζεστό και φιλόξενο! Το πρωινό εξαιρετικό και πλήρες!

Η εκκλησία του χωριού κτισμένη πάνω σε ένα βράχο παραπέμπει στα μοναστήρια των Μετεώρων
Απλά τέλεια!

Dimitirs was the most welcoming host, gave us information about different hiking routes and places to eat in the area. I have to say the highlight was the breakfast - absolutely delicious, everything from traditional pies, to cakes and spreads are homemade - and what is not to like when your eggs come straight from the hens they keep in the property would definitely visit again!!
Our room had the most amazing views of the valley and surrounding mountains.
Dimitrios
