Delicious Dining Experience

The food at the Gardenia Taverna was simply excellent! I tried the sanagaki, mousaka, and the baklava, all of which were good. The atmosphere in the taverna was warm and inviting, making it a fantastic place to unwind after a long day of exploring. The staff was attentive and made sure that my dining experience was nothing short of amazing.

Stunning Room with a View

I was thrilled with my room that had a amazing view of Meteora. It was clean, modern, and equipped with very nice AC. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the blackout drapes ensured a good night's sleep. It really felt like a serene retreat after a busy day.

Convenient Parking Options

The guesthouse offered easy parking right in the center of town, which made it super convenient for exploring the area. I didn't have to worry about finding a spot, as there was ample space available. This added a lot of convenience to my stay, especially when visiting the nearby monasteries.

Cozy and Peaceful Retreat

The bedroom was extremely comfortable, with well-maintained furniture and a lovely decor that added to the overall ambiance. I appreciated the attention to cleanliness and the regular changing of towels. It truly felt like home away from home, and I loved keeping the balcony door open to enjoy the fresh air and sounds of the charming village.

Our stay at this hotel was nothing short of amazing! The staff treated us like family from the moment we arrived, making us feel truly welcomed. The Gardenia Taverna served up some of the best meals I've ever had, and we found ourselves dining there for every meal. The views from the hotel were stunning, and the rooms were impeccably clean and comfortable. However, we were a bit sad to leave because we felt so at home here.
