“Would like to go back.”
Absolute gem of a guesthouse. We were very happy to have found this one. Super welcoming hosts. The breakfast is amazing. Everything is very peaceful and the room was comfy and clean. The location is ideal to explore the zagori mountains and there is a very nice tavern in the village also.

“Excellent personal service, great recommendations, and a peaceful atmosphere made it memorable.”
A unique hotel with a personal touch, Despina is exceptionally pleasant and professional, maintaining the entire hotel by herself to an excellent standard. She has extensive and precise knowledge about everything to do in the area, and her recommendations were excellent. The place was clean, organized, and peaceful, and the breakfast was perfectly satisfactory. It’s important to note that parking is available at the entrance to the village, which is the case in some other villages as well. There is also a tasty restaurant nearby.

The hosts are very helpful and friendly. She makes her own traditional Greek pies for breakfast (which are very good!). She also helped me to improve my Greek which was also very nice of her. Central location for exploring the Zagori region.

“Beautiful guesthouse in quaint location”
This is a very cute guesthouse in the small and sleepy village of Dilofo. The guesthouse is a two hundred metre uphill walk from the ample car park (so bring light luggage!) Elsa is a welcoming host. The rooms we had had were spacious and the beds were very comfortable. The rooms had windows that opened (with fly wire screens) and that provided beautiful views over the village and mountains beyond. The rooms also had air conditioning for when it got too hot. Elsa’s breakfast was delicious and excellent value for money. There was a downstairs lounge area which looked welcoming, but our long days exploring beautiful Zagori meant we didn’t use it. I imagine the guest house would be very snug in the colder months.

Elsa, the hostess is really friendly and kind! She prepares a delicious breakfast, including traditional pies. The guesthouse is comfortable and clean. Its location is a great choice if you want to visit many villages around Zagorochoria.

I find this accommodation amazing - the building, the owner, the village and the food...We were looking for something outside of the tourist zone and that is what we received, and more.

“Gaia is a great place to stay when visiting the Zagori area of Greece.”
Gaia is a beautiful guesthouse in a great location for exploring nature and the sights of the area. Elsa was very helpful and friendly. It was interesting to talk to her about the area and the town of Dilofo. The rooms are comfortable and clean. And breakfast was delicious, including homemade jams and typical Greek pies.
