"The staff was professional, responsive, warm and hospitable. The rooms and common areas were beautifully minimal, with an aroma of deliciousness. The wellness staff was intuitive, with healing touches. Our stay was an out of this world experience!!!"
"Wonderful stay in Vytina. The room was so cozy and we truly had an amazing stay. The hosts were amazing and breakfast was so good and felt like home. I can’t wait to come back and stay here again. Perfect mountain chateau! "
"The location is excellent. Scenic and close to restaurants. The breakfast served by the hotel was our least favourite part. It was not very appetizing. "
"This is a new property with first class construction located in a wonderful mountainous area with spectacular views. Near the main road between Levidion and Tripol. The staff its wonderful. We extended our stay because we hated to leave."
"We stumbled across this retreat almost by accident and it was the highlight of our trip to Greece. We’ve traveled the entire country and seen the most amazing places but the Ambelona Retreat is in its a class of its own.
From the amazing service from our host George, to the phenomenal views and architecture, this place can only be described as magical.
We will 100% be back and I can’t wait.
Thank you!!"
"Wonderful, authentic property in a real Greek mountain village - like being in a fairy tale! Short, lovely walk to the few shops and tavernas. No A/C, but don't need it with cool mountain temps, even in the middle of August! Host Olga is super cool and helpful. We're coming back!."
