    The site is stunning and secluded high on a mountainside outside Kalavryta, as befits a former guesthouse for Eastern Orthodox monks. The Grand Chalet right below Mega Spielios is part of the 1909 "family" and we had an amazing dinner and a lovely...

    Absolutely stunning view and architecture, right on the monastery grounds. The proprietor was extremely kind (and accommodated a very late, last minute checkin). Complimentary breakfast was great (in chalet at bottom of road). All around...

Property info

The construction of Mega Spilaio’s Guesthouse finished in 1909, situated on a high point inside the Vouraikos gorge enables every room to have a spectacular view. Recently we started the renovation process, with the goal of modernize the facilities along with preserving the special character of this unique building. Staying here is for guest prioritizing the experience over comfort, walking 50m uphill, awkward monastic type of bathtubs and other quirks are part of staying with us.

Neighborhood info

Next to the Mega Spilaio Monastery, with hiking trails right outside your door, an amazing view of Vouraikos and so high over everything else it feels you are floating. The perfect place to get lost from the world
