Mikro Papigo 1700 Hotel & Spa

I liked how clean my room was, the opportunity to use the spa facilities (minus the massage) in private. The upgrade for the room and the amenities. The breakfast and the restaurant menu. The stuff is friendly and helpful.

I would prefer a bit more update bathroom. I loved the upgrade, but I prefer a shower over a bathtub.

The incredible location. The food. The view. The comfortable mattresses. The cleanness. But most important of all, the friendliness of the stuff and the managers, from the very first to the very last moment. The village is a traditional protected UNESCO pedestrian zone, so they even carried our luggage thru the narrow streets from the parking (next to the old church) to the hotel with an ATV. We hope to return soon again.

No complaints. Everything was to our liking.

Nestled in the charming village of Mikro Papigko, this unique hotel offers a serene and unforgettable experience. Upon arrival, you leave your car at the church’s parking lot and climb a few steps through the picturesque village to reach the hotel. It may be a bit of a trek, but the reward is worth every step. One of the highlights is Verantas 1700, a bar and breakfast area with a breathtaking panoramic view that captures the essence of the region. Breakfast is a traditional spread that you can enjoy while soaking in the scenery—it’s the perfect start to the day. The spa is an intimate experience, allowing a maximum of four people at a time, which keeps it private and relaxing. Reservations are recommended to ensure availability. The spa offers a sauna, hammam, and massage services, but for an extra touch of luxury, I recommend booking the suite. Located just above the spa, this suite includes a private jacuzzi, perfect for a solo relaxation session. While the hotel’s beauty is hard to describe in words, one small drawback is the price when booking online, which can feel a bit steep. However, the welcoming staff truly enhances the experience, offering kind assistance and even sending a groom with an ATV to help transport luggage from the parking area. Overall, Mikro Papigko 1700 is a gem for those looking to escape and immerse themselves in the tranquility and beauty of this stunning village.

We arrived at Mikro Papigo 1700 Hotel at the end of September, looking to explore the region of Zagori region in Epirus. The hotel which is located at the highest point of the Mikro Papigo village allowed us to captivate the spectacular view of the Tymfi mountains surrounding the hotel and the beautiful villages spreading just below Mikro Papigo. The hotel is ideally located within walking distance to the trails and hikes of the area providing easy access to the unique paths including Papigo Rock pools, Voidomatis springs, Vikos Gorge hiking trail, and for the more adventurous one, the Drakolimni which begins from Mikro Papigo, passes by mountain refuge of Astraka and ends at Lake Drakolimni. These self-guided trails just near the hotel saved us travel time and expenses, and for the most part we left the car at the parking lot. It is a homely friendly hotel. The rooms were always clean and tidy. The staff members from reception/management to the kitchen and to the chef of the excellent restaurant at the hotel were amazing, creating a warm welcoming atmosphere.

There is nothing that I can point out which I didn’t like about the hotel.

The design, the view, the size of the room, the free spa, the breakfast.

The bathroom wall is transparent. There is a curtain but there is a little lack of privacy which was annoying for me.
