after a very hot summer, the first night in the room was so amazing. i had had the best sleep of the last decade. Maybe the bed or the mountain air or the low temperature etc.. just amazing. then in the morning in the facility kitchen Lady Athena was there to prepare us a homemade breakfast with traditional pies and bounch of goodies.. really great gesture!!!

The bed had a velvet headboard which was really quite old and smelled old.

The hosts were very friendly and helpful. The garden is lovely and the entire setting boasts a lot of history. The place is a bit far up but the hosts transport the luggage with an ATV.

Wonderful location, just below the mountain. Fresh and under the shade all the time. Room big and traditional fornitures. Great breakfast. I booked for one night and then extended for a other one with the owner. Everything perfect. The hike to the mountain starts from this village.

It was the perfect stay for mountain and nature lovers. The place is traditional and the staff are exceptionally good. Would definitely recommend. Breakfast full and homemade. Book early, it's busy around the summer season.

The breakfast was made on the spot for us when we woke up and it was served in a very cozy common living room. The hostess was very kind and made us toasts and eggs, accompanied with fresh juice and coffee/tea. If the weather allows it you can also enjoy the backyard with an amazing view of the mountains.

It was an amazing experience. The room was very cozy, traditional, and clean. Breakfast was very delicious and the staff was very helpful. Most beautiful and sincere people. It is also just a 15-minute walk to Papingo Rock Pools from the hotel.

There was no internet. I was able to connect to the WIFI, but it would say "No Internet connection." Fortunately, the mobile connection (on T-Mobile) was high-speed.

Location, hospitality, view, local cats. We were met by the host who helped us to bring our luggage with his ATV. The room is clean and good, but it's in the mountains so do not expect the comfort level that you will find in the seashore: the room is not very big and, at night, we used provided warm blankets with our warm sleeping wear.

It is very high and there is a steep way to get there. The bed wasn’t comfortable.

The pretty garden, the kindness, the breakfast.

Nothing at all.

This was an absolutely lovely spot with a very friendly host. The views are amazing from the patio/balcony. I would definitely recommend it.

It could use more power plugs, the fridge was a bit loud at night and a cosy light was missing.

The owners are super friendly, and the breakfast is great. There are some beautiful cats running around! Totally loved it.

Karaouli was as wonderful on this stay just as it was on the previous one... a real haven, and especially on those hot days I spent at Micro Papigo: when I came up the winding road to the Papigos, the car thermometer showed a temperature I will not even quote, but which was certainly very high; however, once inside my lovely room at Karaouli's it was so nice and cool - amazingly, you don't even feel the need for airconditioning: the thick stone walls, with one deep window looking out on a green slope, give out a natural and reviving coolness which is much more pleasant. There was another lovely addition - Micro Athena, Giorgios & Athena's granddaughter - one is family, at Karaouli. So I shall simply copy here the review I wrote the previous time - it's a place to come to time and again: Karaouli is one of a kind. A place can be made so only by the confluence of special attention, really good taste and natural circumstances. The original stone house has been wonderfully restored, intruducing comfort without lessening the original feel of the rooms. The furniture is beautiful and the woven cloth decorations add colour. I loved my room with its large deep windows looking over the roof to slopes and trees, it's a room you feel you belong to and sleep well in. Athina is a wonderful hostess and so is her breakfast. George very kindly picked me up from the parking in his quad and took me back there. It's a perfect place to set out from to explore the surroundings, whether you go in for longer hikes or just a few minutes' walk - if you just walk down to the village, the view over Papingo and the mountains is breathtaking, and so it is when you set out in every other direction. I loved every minute, was sorry to go, and have every intention of coming back. And I did! And hope to come back yet again.

very authentic. host is very helpful, wanted to carry up my luggage from the parking lot. but i refused. he was also helpful with my special request. breakfast okay. the rooms are actually on the top of the village, so it is not recommended for elderly people. the last parking place is somewhere near the church. from there you have to walk upwards. but this makes the whole thing authentic. for me it was okay!

The location and the stuff. Mr Giorgos woke up earlier to prepare breakfast for us at 7. We were going to start an early hike. A cute traditional house

Cute traditional rooms, very cute cats around:) good hotel to start the hike up to astraka. The host was really nice too, she prepared breakfast for us in advance so we could leave really early in the morning (6am).

Our stay was perfect! The rooms were very comfortable and clean, very spacious and all 3 of them had a kitchenette which was very convenient. There was no need for air conditioning as the temperature in the rooms was very cool, especially at night (even though it was the first week of July). Our hosts were very hospitable and friendly. They served homemade traditional breakfast every morning. The patio was clean and comfortable with a nice view. The house is built and decorated in a traditional style and added to the overall experience. We parked at the entrance of the village on the street as no cars can go in the village, and our host met us to pick up our luggage and transfer it to the hotel. Great location for hiking and to explore the surrounding villages and the Vikos canyon. The views from the village are stunning. We loved our stay and will try to come back!

Honestly nothing to mention.

Beautiful villiage and mountain views, hikers paradise. Our hosts went out of their way to welcome us and ensured we were well looked after. The village had a great Taverna with nice traditional food. Our accommadation had a king bed and plenty of room. Our stay was first class, cant wait to go back for a longer stay.
