Aristi Mountain Resort

A mountain refuge

Located in Aristi, one of the 48 villages of the «Zagoria» in northern Greece, Aristi Mountain Resort offers an ideal base for exploring the Vikos Gorge, the rivers and picturesque villages of this wild region, the old town of Ioannina and, further afield, the famous Meteora. Facing the impressive cliffs of Astraka, the resort comprises 24 accommodations spread across rooms, suites and local stone villas. Isolated from the other villas, the Aristi Residence is the hotel's most exclusive and spacious option, featuring two comfortably appointed bedrooms and an elevated porch offering uninterrupted views of the mountains. After a day of outdoor activities, the spa's indoor pool and Jacuzzi beckon, unless you opt for a relaxing open-air treatment. At the Salvia restaurant, traditional cuisine made with local ingredients is accompanied by regional wines, and the famous Zagori pie is homemade. The hotel is also proud of its new concept: The Aristi Farm, where guests can enjoy produce straight from the property's organic vegetable garden while admiring a superb panorama of the Gorge.

The hotel is equipped with heat pumps to reduce the use of fossil fuels and also optimises its water consumption. Aristi Mountain strives to eliminate single-use plastics within the resort (bottles, straws, etc.). The hotel favours suppliers who reduce their packaging and works with local producers.
