Hotels & Accommodation near Monastery of Panagia Spiliotissa

This was a great lodging for someone who wants to explore the Zagori area. George and his staff are very friendly and welcoming. They offer a bountiful breakfast including local yogurt and pies. The architecture of the building fits perfectly with the traditional style that the region is known as. Being at the top of the Papigo village offers beautiful and uninterrupted view of Astraka mountain and the Vikos Canyon.

We spent three nights at Aristi Mountain Resort at the end of a 10-day trip to Greece, and it exceeded our expectations. The photos and reviews do not do it justice. The resort has about 26 rooms spread across several stone buildings on the mountainside above the charming village of Aristi. Our Superior Double Room felt like a private cottage, with its own entrance, spacious bedroom and sitting area, large bathroom with jacuzzi tub, and outdoor seating. Thick stone walls and shutters kept the room naturally cool, so air conditioning was rarely needed. Breakfast was excellent, served indoors or on a terrace with spectacular mountain views. We also enjoyed dinner one evening. The food and service were excellent, though prices were higher than in the village. A more casual daytime menu would be welcome for snacks. The pool was rarely crowded, but shade was limited. The same was true of the restaurant terrace, where a larger roof would improve comfort. Opening the dining room to the outdoors creates a lovely atmosphere but also attracts flies. The poolside lounge, terrace, and bar are underused. Offering drink menus, light snacks, and more shade would make these spaces more inviting. Overall, the resort has a relaxed, luxurious atmosphere that we thoroughly enjoyed. The indoor pool beside the spa offers a quieter alternative, though direct access to the adjoining terrace would make it even better.

Breakfast is excellent
