It is the village that nurtured the free and unconquered generation of Kolokotronis. It is the born village of liberator of the genus, Theodoros Kolokotronis.
Today it is uninhabited. But the historic church of St. John and the refurbished home of Kolokotronis reveal its existence, thanks to the donation of P. Angelopoulos.
The wildlife along the route is fantastic. Throughout the road is covered with firs and it really fascinates the visitor. Perhaps the best road route in Greece!

“Really enjoyed”
It was a very pleasant surprise. The price offer we had was very good and did not expect much. But everything was very close to perfection. Rooms very spacious and nicely decorated. The cocomat bed and pillow guarantee a very good sleep. Was snowing, and the place is surrounded by the forest so the view was amazing. We were very happy, will definitely go again.
“A great hotel for warm nights”
We were four couples with children visiting the hotel. It was at 12 km from the Mainalon ski resort and at the same time very close to Vytina village and the central highway for Athens.
The family running it were all very helpful and willing to help us spend a nice time. The rooms were great, the common premises also. Definitely worth a visit again.
“Very nice stay”
It was a nice and pleasant stay, at a very beautiful place in Arcadia. Minimal decoration, kind stuff, helping us every moment we need any info. The accommodation was excellent and the best part was the 4-layer bed which offered a perfect sleep. The breakfast buffet is influenced from Mediterranean diet, with great quality food. I definitely go again.
“Excellent!”
We stayed there for a relaxing weekend! The staff was very nice and the breakfast was perfect. The hotel is ran by a really nice family. They even drove us to the town of Vytina. Our room was perfect and had a fire place. Not to forget to mention the cocomat mattress in which I had one of the best sleeps ever in a hotel. I would definitely recommend it!
“Very satisfying and relaxing stay.”
My wife and I stayed at this hotel for two nights on August 16 and 17 2013. We found it very relaxing with great views of Vytina on the side of mountain Mainalon surrounded by trees. The hotel is situated at a height of 1300 meters above the sea level, near to the town of Vytina. The accommodations were very good and the morning breakfast was excellent, they were taking orders for egg omelettes threat were delicious. My wife and I recommend this hotel for a stay for people that enjoy nature and the outdoors.
