Stayed here off season had a great time ... staff was super friendly.
We stumbled across this retreat almost by accident and it was the highlight of our trip to Greece. We’ve traveled the entire country and seen the most amazing places but the Ambelona Retreat is in its a class of its own.
From the amazing service from our host George, to the phenomenal views and architecture, this place can only be described as magical.
We will 100% be back and I can’t wait.
Thank you!!

The natural beauty around the property is absolutely stunning! The rooms are beautifully appointed. Friendly staff. It is hard to get to (winding roads) but well worth it!
Abeilona Retreat is a beautiful property with a gorgeous view of the mountains and wonderful landscaping, and a lovely room with a deck with view of the mountains . We had a delicious dinner and wonderful breakfast with many options. The woman who runs the retreat was helpful and nice and she told us the eggs were local down the road which I quite enjoyed . The restaurant is in a bucolic sparsely populated area. It is best to travel by day as some of the roads are narrow. Once you get to the small village you need to drive up a short narrow road and you can’t see the hotel from the Main Street. We got a little turned around so we called but a man from the hotel came down to greet us.
This is a tough hotel to review. We were clearly there in the off-season. In fact, we were the only guests. It's not particularly easy to get to, as it sits up in the hills rather far from any obvious tourist destination. I think the hotel intends to be a "get away from it all" resort with yoga and meditation. This makes more sense in the summer, but was a little strange in the winter when we were certainly away from it all and alone. The facilities are stunning and if they were filled up with more people, would be quite lovely. The complex of small villas and rooms steps up the hillside with a beautiful view down the valley. Everything is made of stone and very cohesive. Breakfast was massive--the staff cooked enough for a whole resort and fed it all to the three of us! It was very local, homemade and satisfying though.
für Yogafanatiker, Wanderer und Menschen mit großem Bedarf an viel Nichts bestens geeignet; von der Größe her auch für Familien mit (mehreren) Kindern prima
schade, daß Leitung und Personal trotz der angeblichen Kinderfreundlichkeit Kinder als Störfaktor in der Wander- und Yogaidylle betrachten/behandeln;
Anfahrt ist gelände- und straßenbedingt eine Katastrophe
It was beautiful ! Lovely rooms in a amazing environment ! The restaurant is very good !

Disliked: Staff & service
Don't risk your vacation on this property. It can only be accessed by bouncing over hours of mud-hole and boulder strewn mountain paths. After making a pre-paid reservation here through Orbitz in April, we arrived there in October to find the property closed and abandoned. So our family was left stranded in the remote mountains, virtually no GPS, no dinner, no lodging, in the dark and cold. Finally got ahold of someone on the phone who read a prepared statement and promised to refund our money. A week later, no follow up, no refund. This place is a scam. Stay away.
I arrived to the Abeliona retreat riding my bicycle. The hotel is located in a quiet and beautiful secluded place in the mountains.
The girl is located near the temple of Apollo Epikouros.
Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Gorgeous views, great food, quiet and remote
Lovely, lovely inn located in a fairly remote part of Greece. We liked that about it, as it was a gorgeous, natural area. Thankfully, the hotel serves excellent homemade food with incredible views!
In the mountains, a complete escape from stress.
Great room overlooking mountains with terrace.
Complete peace and relaxation, away from it all.
Somewhat difficult to find but that is part of its charm. Good meal and great breakfast
