We got a very warm welcome - both from management and in terms of the temperature and cosiness of the room. It was windy, chilly and rained most of the time during our stay, so this was very important. There was an excellent enclosed fireplace and we could help ourselves to as much wood as we wanted from a store room outside. The room was clean and comfortable, with a four-poster bed and we very much appreciated the many tealights in different kinds of holders. The room was clean and the feeling of peace was almost perfect. Most of the time, all we could hear was the sound of the bubbling river below and exquisite birdsong outside, just as we had hoped. I should say, though, that we were almost the only guests at the hotel during our stay. The extensive forested area around was unspoilt and truly beautiful.

Although the low lighting in the room was very atmospheric, there were no brighter lights for reading. Fortunately, we had some strong glasses with us for such situations, but a good reading light would have been welcome. The wifi was so weak that we were almost unable to use it - it would connect and then disconnect again a few seconds later. It was not a big deal and we had wanted a break from our everyday lives but, if we'd really wanted to use Google or have video calls, this would have been a problem.

The place itself was just so beautiful and warm! Literally like a cabin in the woods! Especially in the winter! Our room was so lovely decorated and we had a beautiful view with a balcony to the river behind the hotel. The hotel itself is also very beautiful and warm! The staff, especially the owner/main hostess were the nicest we've met in our trip! They did their very best to accommodate and help us! The location isn't great in it being close to anything main, it's great in it being just between Metosovo and Gervena and also up in the mountains, so if you are planning to visit these two towns, this will be a great place to stop for the night while enjoying amazing views (and snow!) on your way!

We're vegetarians, and though they did try, we just didn't have much to eat during lunch or dinner... But there are a couple local restaurants close by that are just great for that too!

We absolutely loved La Moara. It’s in the middle of the remote Valia Calda mountains, cozy and warm - fires in the bedrooms, fur rugs on the chairs, no sound but birdsong and the river running below. Some rooms are in treehouses and some are on wooden walkways. We had the warmest welcome I can remember from the owners and Petra. They were incredibly friendly and kind, and made us a delicious dinner full of local specialities and a lavish home cooked breakfast. We had a fantastic time exploring the valley - we found bear prints on the bank downstream! Valia Calda is in the Pindus national park so is full of incredible wild animals and plants. It was glorious to be so taken care of and feel so close to nature. This would be a wonderful place to watch the seasons change. We didn’t have time to check out the sauna and Turkish bath but I imagine it would be especially lovely in winter.

Nothing. It’s a long drive on a winding road to get there but that’s what remote country hotels are all about.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, I could only stay for a couple of hours and had to leave in the middle of the night; but I got a nice hot shower, a lovely meal with a free dessert (not sure if this is normal or the host could tell that I had a rough day and needed it) and a couple of hours of sleep in a very comfy bed. The whole premise is beautiful and the room was so cozy and inviting with very nice decorations.

The walls are very thin, so noise can be an issue. The floorboards were quite creaky, too.

Great place by the river, ideal to enjoy nature. Great choice if you want to visit all cities nearby (the iconic Metsovo, Giannena, Grevena). I loved the fact that the facilities are accessible, although in the mountain ❤️ They also had biiig towels which is something that I usually don't find in hotels. Also great hospitality from people in the reception.

We weren't able to leave the balcony doors open at night cause a lot of bugs and insects would come in. I would love it if balcony doors had window sieves cause the mountain air was so refreshing

The room was very stylish and cozy. The bed was comfortable, and we enjoyed the view from our terrace. There is also a fireplace, which we were unable to use, as it was mid summer, but I bet it would be super romantic to have it in the winter. The complex is very beautiful, it has a great panoramic view of the surrounding mountains and river. The garden was very big and picturesque. There is also a pool, a field and a restaurant. We had a breakfast and a dinner, and the food was delicious and at reasonable prices. In addition to that the restaurant has a great atmosphere both inside and outside, where you could enjoy the nice weather. The staff was super friendly and helpful. On top of all, the region itself is panoramic and quiet, so you can really rest and relax. Overall we are super happy by the place and we will visit once again most definitely.

We stayed only for a single night on the way to Zagori The location is beautiful in the forest with a river running 50m away from our beautiful balcony. The breakfast was very tasty and rich and the hosts were nice

The room itself was a bit strangely organized but spacious and answered all our needs

An excellent hotel at a beautiful location. The rooms, the decoration, the cleanness, the service were all exceptional. All the common areas (restaurant, cafeteria) were beautifully decorated for Christmas. Mr. Efthimis was happily providing anything we requested and mostly all the necessary information about the attractions in the area. The breakfast and the food was excellent and very reasonably priced. We stayed only two nights, but we will certainly go back again soon. I strongly recommend it for families as well as couples.

Nothing. Everything was perfect.

This is an amazing treasure! Wonderful wooden building in Greek mountains on the shore of the river creates an amazing atmosphere. A lot of attention is put on the details - we loved the decorations, the lamps, and clever touches here and there. The food in the restaurant and at breakfast was great and the service was hospitable and friendly. Well recommended for a relaxing time in the nature!

Nothing really stands out - it was a likeable stay.

it’s a beautiful hotel in a beautiful area not that far from Metsovo and about an hour from Ioannina. the owner is an excellent host and polite. the hotel offers everything you need for some excellent holidays in the nature. great breakfast, nice relaxing sitting rooms the woodwork is beautiful in combination with the stones and best of all private spa area! excellent New Year’s Eve holidays with my partner! thanks for everything.
