Ulasan Guesthouse Arsenis

Excellent hosts, clean hotel, very peaceful and beautiful place. The owner explained everything to us about the area, restaurants, even though his own at the property was exceptional, the monasteries and access. Great prices, wouldn't stay anywhere else. Loved it

Set in the hills, a stones throw away from the monasteries of Meteora, Arsenis Guesthouse is a clean simple hotel away from the busy towns full of tour buses. We easily made reservations via email directly with Kosta and he and his family were there to greet us with water, figs, and treats upon our arrival. The rooms are spacious complete with a mini fridge and a lovely balcony overlooking the valley in the mountains. The bathroom is a decent size. However, the showers are typical Greek small. They provide a simple breakfast and home cooked dinner for an additional charge and have a fridge stocked full of soft drinks, water, wines and beers in the dining area for purchase. There’s a lovely large patio to sit to have an evening drink. We have traveled to many places all over the world, Kostas and his family are truly one of the most genuine, hospitable people that we’ve come across in our travels. Dont not hesitate to book a stay here!

We have chosen Arsenis Guest House for two nights for its location far away from congested Kastraki; one of us had to to internet work. The choice proved good, the rooms are not overdecorated, the mattresses comfortable. The balcony towards quiet olive groves supported the focus on the work. Lots of parking space. By car, destinations Meteora, Kalabaka and Vlachava are easily reached. For what we wanted, the value for money (without having booked breakfast) was excellent. The guest house is family run, which makes it very Greek...

This is our second time at Arsenis Guesthouse as we love the view of pristine hills and olive groves that the rooms offer. The location is also perfect as it is just off the East Road that leads up to the monasteries which makes the place both perfectly well-connected and quiet at the same time. For information, this is right on the other side from where the majority of the hostels/hotels are located which is a huge plus for me as it keeps me away from the noise and that touristy feel.. The rooms, though plain, are very clean and towels are changed daily. Each room has its own ample balcony with a table and two chairs. There is a good wi-fi connection that is freely available. I could take a small bottle of mineral water from the fridge each day at no charge. They offer continental breakfast (EUR 7) and dinner (EUR 12). The dinner, from what I understood, consists of barbecue meat with fries and a Greek salad cooked on the spot by the hosts. There are plenty of tables both indoors and outside on the large verandah with a magnificent view of the hills and olive groves. The air there feels crystal clean. The hosts are members of the Arsenis family: two sons (Kostas and Panos), mother (Vasiliki) and father. Kostas is basically in charge and his Mum helps with the cooking. Kostas is quite a character as has been testified by some of the reviewers. You can see that he loves the place that they have created and wishes that many people from all over the world come and stay with them. He can come across as clumsy in his manners but I had no problem with it as I even found his idiosyncrasies quite amusing. After you take a room he always asks if you are also having your dinner with them. We chose not to and instead went to town to our favourite restaurant/tavern, Archontariki (13 Trikalon Riga Fereou Square, Kalambaka). There is also a lovely orchard on the property with cherry, fig, crimson and quince trees. Kostas gave me a jar of quince jam as a gift before we left. Nice!

The staff was very warm and welcoming, especially Costas, who welcomed us, arriving after dark, without a reservation. We arrived to a warm fire in the fireplace; and Costas' mother prepared a dinner for us in less than half an hour after we arrived. The location was great for seeing Meteora - which is a spectacular site, with magnificent views that go beyond description. This was a main highlight of our trip to Greece.

The Arsenis Guesthouse was very welcoming after a long day of driving from Athens. The location was excellent with amazing views of the mountains, and olive grove. Kostas, wanted to unsure our stay was perfect. A home cooked meal was prepared by his mother, which was in fact a wonderful family comfort food. Everything was clean, and very relaxing. Kostas's family invited us to sit by the fireplace after our meal, which insured us we were not being rushed. With the amazing location, cleanliness, and comfort I was so pleased visiting the Arsenis Guesthouse. Traveling from the USA and given such hospitality was amazing. We hope to visit again in the future!

Posizione strategica per la visita delle Meteore, panorama fantastico, accoglienza famigliare, grande disponibilità a fornire assistenza e informazioni. Si ha la sensazione di essere in famiglia. Camere pulite e dotate di ogni confort. Cambio asciugamani giornaliero

Luogo a conduzione familiare, cibo greco molto buono a prezzi onesti. Personale molto gentile, accogliente e generoso. Abbiamo cenato e pernottato con il camper. Al mattino ci hanno regalato pane fatto in casa. Il figlio molto accogliente ci ha spiegato con una cartina in modo dettagliato la visita alle meteore. Consigliatissimo!

Luogo ideale per la visita alle Meteore, conduzione della Guesthouse familiare. Vengono date dal figlio della proprietaria tutte le informazioni relative alla visite dei Monasteri e viene fornita anche una cartina esplicativa. Camere ampie con tv, aria condizionata e frigo. Wifi e parcheggio esterno alla struttura. Il letto era un pò scomodo e la doccia con tenda. Gentilissimi, la mattina ci hanno offerto una bottiglietta d'acqua e del pane molto buono fatto dalla madre. Colazione abbondante con dolce e salato in quantità. Siamo rimasti anche a cena una volta a base di carne alla brace e insalata greca a prezzo ottimo. Consigliato.
