"Great place with amazing views! Elena, the owner, was lovely but doesn't speak English. We managed with a few words each, a bit of sign language and a lot of Google translate. Rooms are perhaps unusual in decor but very comfortable and lots of choice for breakfast - particularly good omelette cooked freshly by Elena. Good tavernas within walking distance. Fabulous walking with the menalon trail. Very quiet and peaceful. And did I mention the views!"

Abeliona Retreat
10/10 Excellent
"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!."
"What a beautiful place!! Absolutely gorgeous hotel in the Greek mountains. Seems to be more of a winter destination but we loved being off the beaten path for a night.
The two bedroom suite was perfect. Adorable vintage decor, working kitchen, two bathrooms and ac in all the rooms. Breakfast provided was great!"

"This quiet getaway was really a great location to get the feel of a countryside Greek town. Skies were beautiful at night with minimal light pollution. Staff and townsfolk were friendly and helpful if any needs were identified. Breakfast was HUGE, got to enjoy many delicious options and take away a few pastries for later in the day. Perfect getaway in the countryside."
