10/10
This is an absolute GEM of a property in central Greece. You will need a vehicle of some kind to make the trip out to Karpenisi, but if you do, you will thoroughly enjoy your stay here. Yes, this location is typically for families, but because of the animals on site, my wife made this a must stay on our trip. There are two little towns/villages in the area that are easy to travel to via rental car, and we made the most of that situation. Just above the hotel in the village of Klavsi (according to maps), there was a small local family owned and operated taverna that had the most wonderful steak sauce he prepared for his meals. The family was warm and comforting, and we were able to use our translation software to communicate. Just along the main road from the hotel, there is a little café known as river art, that is a must visit for local products and good snacks.
For the most part however, this part of our trip was for resting and relaxing. This hotel has a large open property with luscious green grass and local plants that made it a delight to walk through and enjoy Greece without heavy tourism. The staff was kind and helpful, and we were able to have our laundry washed and dried prior to our departure. During the day, we played together at Newton Park, yes, it is designed for children, but with our science backgrounds, my wife and I enjoyed being little kids again for the day. The owner was kind and we spent hours talking together like old friends.
