Mikro Papingo 1700

This gorgeous award-winning boutique spa hotel is located in the hamlet of Mikro Papingo, Zagoria’s highest village at 970m with the lowering peaks of Mt Astraka as a dramatic backdrop. As with all the Zagoria villages, traditional stone houses and narrow cobbled lanes predominate here, and the village is the main starting point for trekkers.

In keeping with the ethos of the village, the hotel’s 18 rooms and suites are housed in a collection of small stone buildings. They are individually designed and offer all the comfort and mod cons you should expect from a hotel of this class - king-size beds with luxury bedding, walk-in ‘rain’ shower with amenity kit, tea/coffee-making facilities, mini-bar/fridge, WiFi, TV and room safe. Wood floors and ceilings lend a traditional ambient warmth to all rooms. Views are over the village, gorge and mountains but only some have a balcony due to the strict architectural restrictions here.

The hotel has a spa, a heated indoor pool and the highly rated Veranda restaurant. Reception can arrange a range of activities (subject to availability, some may be seasonal) including advice on local walks (don’t miss the nearby famous rock pools), hiking trails, archery, horse riding, rafting, cooking classes, canyoning/river trekking and guided tours of the area.

There is one traditional restaurant in the village and a half dozen more can be found at the larger sister village of Megalo Papingo just a 5 minute drive down the mountain. Our holidays here include car hire and free parking is available nearby (150m - luggage assistance can be provided).
