Vasilikata

Un albergo diffuso molto suggestivo, noi abbiamo dormito nella parte nuova. Ottima l'accoglienza con frutta fresca, biscotti e anche del Raki.Colazione ottima e abbondante con prodotti freschi e a km 0. Gentilissimo il personale che ci ha accompagnato al ristorante dove la cena è stata tipicamente greca

We stayed at Vasilikata for two nights. We met Aliki at the Reception building and she drove us to the house where we stayed. Reception is also a small shop selling local handicrafts, herbs, wine, etc. We booked a small room, but Aliki generously offered a much larger one, which we accepted. It was clean and well furnished. It had a kitchen which was well equipped, with electric coffee pot, microwave, and plenty of crockery. We also found coffee, sugar, salt, pepper, etc. This generosity continued. We were given a decanter of raki make by Aliki’s father. I enjoyed a drink of raki after dinner. (There are two restaurants within a ten minute walk - bring a torch). The next morning we walked to a nearby house where a breakfast buffet was provided. It was worthy of an expensive five star hotel. Freshly made juice from locally grown peaches, fresh pears, pomegranates, apples, grapes, oranges, etc. All are grown locally. When I expressed an interest, Aliki invited us to see her family farm. There was also omelette, cold meats, cheese, cakes and we were offered freshly fried eggs. Coffee and mountain tea, (gathered locally of course) were also provided. Breakfast is €7.50 per person and was fantastic value. Aliki is renovating farmhouses in the village, including the one we stayed in. We experienced genuine Greek hospitality at Vasilikata and recommend it highly.
