Montanema Handmade Village

They say it’s a magical place, and they’re not wrong. The forest road- the last 15-20 minutes of the drive to get to the property is not for the faint of heart. The road is narrow, high in the mountains and scary but it’s totally worth it. The property itself is beautiful— stunning. The little jewel in the center of this mountain with the warmest people keeping this farm/property/eco lodge operating smoothly. The views are 10/10. The food which is all made fresh with veggies foraged from the forest, 10/10. The spa, while I didn’t have a treatment, the facility itself was perfect. And you reserve it for your room for 90 minutes, so it’s like your own personal spa. I had a family cabin, which was very comfortable for the 3 of us. There’s no tv, so you can really shut off. I’m not a hiker or camper by any means- but if you’re into outdoor stuff there were so many trails and outdoor activities. Any nature enthusiast would be obsessed with the place. Or if you’re like me, and you just want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city for a bit — get some fresh air — great food and great views. You’ll be obsessed with this place too! I fell in love with the cats, the property and the people. It’s 1000% rejuvenation. My only regret was not getting the chance to forage with Don, but something to look forward to next time.

Amazing location in the middle of a forested gorge, allowing for incredible views! Our room was large yet very cozy at the same time, with very comfortable beds! Extremely welcoming and friendly staff! Breakfast offered many tasty and healthy produce, all locally sourced! Restaurant food was also delicious and the wine list was extensive and of high quality. Definitely recommend, especially for families and romantic getaways (although best come during the spring or summer to avoid being frozen in!)

My ultimate choice for relaxed holidays. I visit Montanema every year the past 4 years. It’s my favourite. Really good prices amazing people and excellent environment. We have stayed in several nests room but my favourite is TERPSI. we definitely come back this summer.

We went to Montanema Hand made village last weekend. We are a family with three kids. We had a two bedroom house with a kitchenette and 2 bathrooms. As we arrived in the house we were amazed by the view, the size of the bedrooms and also one of them was a master bedroom with its own fireplace and bathroom. The food was of a very high quality, prepared with organic products and as a mother and a person that cooks a lot I could taste and enjoy the freshness of their milk,honey, hand made pasta, local meat, delicious eggs, marmalade for breakfast, home made cake, freshly brewed coffee etc. Really organic products. They also make their own soap bars and liquid soap/shampoo and when I used them-they smelled lime honey! The location is right near the forest, the view is breath-taking  and there are various activities for the children and adults such as cookies baking for the little once and guided forest walking tours for big and small enthusiast. The indoor pool and spa is not allowed for children but the in the outdoor pool in summer everyone is welcome.In general the children are so bizy with the activities that had been organized by the hotel and also my children was playing with the dogs , on the swings, they've visited the little farm on side that the day was gone before we knew it. One thing potential visitors should keep in mind is the 4km sort of off road before you arrive at the settlement but for us it was a part of the adventure, nothing strenuous, we were perfectly fine with our Nissan X-trail and the children got even mire expected. I've learned about this hotel from a mother's page on Fb and I highly recommend it to everyone who wish to explore Greece!

Our second visit to Montanema Handamade Village (after 2 months) was even better than the first one! Everything in this, actually "handmade", mountain resort is excellent!! In this context, I would like to specifically mention not only the unique "style" and decoration of the hotel as well as the accommodation villas, the warmness and competency of the staff, the high quality of the food and the wonderful facilities of the spa, but also the impecable/dramatic nature that surrounds the hotel and provides its guests with the opportunity to "feel" the nature and enjoy its unparallel beauty (with the guidance of -one of a kind- Mr Ntinos)! With or without kids... this hotel is a must! An unforgettable experience that deserves everyone's attention and, certainly, a lot of visits!!

An amazing experience! We came back this year with a group of 22 people (family and friends)! Hotel's amenities were luxurious and the staff extremely friendly, considering that we had 8 children in our group! The food was great also.. Thank you so much for everything! 💓
