La Moara Boutique Hotel

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!

The room was absolutely beautiful and super cozy! The breakfast was served to us and just perfect. The staff was very nice and helpful with anything we needed.

No such thing

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.

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.

The place, food, people

N/a

The natural setting is relaxing, quiet, nothing but the woods all around. A big plus: they have an EV Charger!

All was good

Amazing place, really lovely people, the whole hotel has a good vibe. They let us stay with a big dog - no problem

We slept right next to the parking lot which made it tough to sleep since it was quite loud.
