Foresta in Medias Mores

My sister, friend, and I stayed at Foresta for a few days in June and we absolutely loved it. Each day you wake up with a breathtaking view of the Skiritida forest and the sound of cicadas. The hotel has strong wifi and many comfortable common areas both indoors and outdoors. It was a great way to relax and spend some quality time with my family. If you take away one thing from my review, let it be this: You will not find hosts more welcoming, kind, and helpful than Nadia and Chris. They are truly what made our stay amazing. I cannot recommend it enough. Thank you both for an amazing stay and making our visit to explore our greek roots so memorable. We will be back soon! Many well wishes from Los Angeles.

Quaint place for getting away from it all. The mountains reminded me of the Smokey Mountains. It was all green with a couple sprinklings of small villages out in the distance. That's it. All nature. Quiet. It's quite a large spread but with only 12 rooms. Everyone faces the mountains and has either a deck or patio to enjoy the outdoor scenery. There is a good spread of food for breakfast but you can also order other food. Dinners are laid back and never in a hurry. The cook will inform you what is available that, even though there is a menu. In the meantime, you can have a drink and enjoy the view while she prepares the meal. They'll let you know when it's ready. That's the kind of casual family owned business it is. I placed our reservation through ******* and it was hard to find. ******* only listed Vlachokerasia as the address which is actually the name of the village. You have to watch for signs posted on the buildings to find the hotel. Eventually you get on a one lane asphalt road and think you're heading out in country but then it pops up. We had to ask the locals for directions. Some boys biked to the road we needed to find. As we thanked them, one said, "We hope you like our little village." Yes, we did. We'll always remember that line. We'll always remember this hotel and village because it was so unique.

Quiet and secluded. The view of the mountains reminded me of the Smokey Mountains. All the rooms are facing the mountains and either have a patio or deck with a small table and chairs. This family run business was very friendly and helpful. The property was a bit hard to find in the village but once located we were able to find it again and again very easily. Look for signs on buildings. There is no address listed on ******* only the name of the village. If you're looking for a place to just relax and get away from it all after sightseeing, this is the place. No amenities but a relaxing view of the mountains with a glass of wine while you wait for your dinner to be prepared.

"I led a painting workshop at Foresta from September 24 to October 2, 2024, for a group of 10 artists as part of my Workshops in Wild Places program. The location was magnificent, with the pinkish-mauve hues of the sky over the Taygetus Mountains in the early morning and breathtaking sunsets in the evening. Nadia, our host, nourished us with a delicious variety of home-cooked Greek meals. The rooms were spacious, and comfortable, and offered stunning views of the mountains. Nadia and Chris were generous, easy-going, and incredibly hospitable, making us feel like we had become part of a warm and nurturing Greek family."

Perfect to take deep breath and relax The location of this hotel is absolutely epic. The views are amazing, there is nothing nearby. It's quiet and I have found it extremely relaxing. Team were really friendly and helpful recommending itineraries, trips etc. The room is quite big and is really nicely finished. I really loved the shutters on the inside of the windows so you can lie in without any light :-) Breakfast was brilliant and dinner in the restaurant was also really good. Had the stew which had a huge portion and was super tasty. Staying here I have had the most restorative and productive working on self time I've had in a long time. Highly recommend.

Beautiful setting overlooking the mountains with a very gracious and friendly host. She was very accomodating and friendly. Our unit was spacious, clean, and the bed was comfortable. I highly recommend this property.
