description
Located in Central Zagori in the traditional village of "Ano Pedina", this recently opened guesthouse is a restored 1870's mansion providing high quality accommodation.

Consisting of traditional stonework, wooden floors, colorful ceilings and traditional antique furniture, the accommodation consists of seven comfortable and atmospheric rooms, each with a different style. The hotel has a bar and a living room with fireplace and is full of local character.

This included re-using old stones for the walls, grey stone tiles for the roofs and timber from the nearby forest for the floors and ceilings. Through working in partnership with environmental organisations like W.W.F. the guesthouse offers its clients information and advice about the natural and man-made environment in order to allow them to contribute towrds its protection. |
Tourism can be good and bad for destinations & local people. We carefully screen every holiday against our criteria for responsible travel. 'Look behind the brochure' to find how each holiday makes a difference (see left). We don't claim to be perfect - there is no global accreditation - but we've led the way since 2001 and screened 1000's of holidays. We invite every traveller to write a review about their experiences and responsible tourism. This valuable feedback is sent to the people who run the holidays. We keep a very close eye on it and take off holidays that don't live up to our standards. |
