We arrived quite late by the poor maintenance rood to the unic view at the hotel. Very nice lobby and friendly staff a warm fire welcomed us including the calming sent of burning wood. We where escorted to our room (basic one) and had to use 3!!! Lifts. Dinning room is big with very uncomfortable chairs, with a holle at the back rest. Breakfast was outstanding good with many local goodies and a great choice ( it was served by a superb friendly team as we where the only gusts.....having breakfast) About the room, big spacious good comfortable bed. Regarding The style and bathroom could/should be upgraded, as the sower hair dryer and taps and layout. More upraddes needed as it was quite enojing: No electricity socket for computer / phone near the bed. Very poor Internet reception in the room, not excepteble in 2022! Unfortunately we had no time for spa and pool. …

Christmas at Grand Forest Metsovo. It was definitely an experience. The hotel is located around 15 min with car from Metsovo village ,which is extremely picturesque. In particular, it lies on the slopes of the Pindus Mountain range. There you will be surrounded with snow-capped mountain peaks and wonderful trees. From the moment we arrived the staff treated us well. The lobby architecture was minimal but, tasteful with an impressive fireplace. The same pattern is followed by the room decoration. It was spacy and extra modern, with wooden floors, that made it cozy and stylish bathroom that included bathtub and shower. The bed was very comfortable and the heating was exceptional, especially with the outside temperature which was below zero. We booked the Suite with Mountain View and the views were breathtaking. Waking up with the balcony full covered with snow as well as everything around it, is an unforgettable experience. The indoor pool is not to be missed, warm with snow outside, this alone, could make the hotel a destination. Last, but not the least, the buffet breakfast is excellent with many options, quality and local tastes - special mention to the variety of drinks that offered ,some of which were fresh squeezed juices and to the magnificent view from the eating place- . In addition, there are some à la carte options too. We also visited the restaurant 1350m and everything was very tasty, yet a little bit expensive. Some improvements would be Netflix providing or some relevant streaming service, accessibility at the entrance for people with disabilities and luggage and updating the online menu of the restaurant, cause it differs enough from the menu that exists there. Overall, we would be glad to visit this hotel again to the future.…

We stayed a couple of nights in the hotel. Isolated on a mountain oposite Metsovo, the road is difficult and even dangerous at night. We reserved a "suite with garden view". We got a room on an underground very dark corridor. The "garden" was just the grass on the mountain. Not only that there is no garden but there are some spaces outside that look like slams. There are no windows in the room but just a door oppening to a sort of terrase , but there are no delimitations so from one room you can reach all the rooms from the same building, everything is open and there is no privacy. Walls are very thin and there is no acustic isolation so is hard to say that you enjoy a quiet location. The worst was the smell: they have a humidity problem in that specific building and there is a terrible smell all over. They try to anihilate it with odorizants and the result is horrible. Openning the door in order to have some fresh air was the single thing to do with any risk: some person or some animal could enter the room , not to speak about buterflies and mosquitos or lizzards... The lighting in room was very poor . Towels very worn, at 5 stars I was expecting much more! The pool: the water is cold as ice all year round so not possible to swim. Not to speak about the genial location: the view from the pool is the roof of the building infront... At the entrance of the hotel: 4 steps. Why not an inclined plane, in order to drag the luggage? There is no logical explain for this! The hotel is composed from a lot of separate buildings, there is only one main building with elevator, all the other buildings are far and is very difficult to reach them with luggage. The pos in the hotel: the restaurant with very good service and also the bar/lounge. There is a magnificent view from these public spaces. Beautiful design of public space.…

Dear Mrs. Laura, Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We are sorry that you did not enjoy your stay with us! Kindly note that room types vary according to their location in the hotel and the view that they have. Our rooms are scattered across 7 individual buildings, which are interconnected to the main building via closed corridors, in order to facilitate all year-round movement to and fro, despite weather adversities. We make sure all guests are informed about this arrangement. It is worth mentioning, that all levels are accessible via elevators and there also is a second entrance for guests with accessibility limitations. Moreover, not only is a luggage trolley available, but also we are happy to offer assistance to all our guests. Grand Forest Metsovo is set on the fringe of a black pine forest, on top of a private mountain. The landscape is comprised by native flora and fauna. The preservation of the original morphology of the natural space is of utmost importance and we consider it our duty. In terms of humidity, while it may be prevalent at times, due to the location and climate, it is not part of the suites and buildings. Because we are located at an altitude of 1350m, and considering that the pool is an outdoor non-heated facility, the temperature is affected by environmental conditions. We do care for our continuous improvement and hope to have you with us again for a life-enhancing experience. Sincerely, The Grand Forest Metsovo Team!

Not a grand hotel I stayed for 2 nights in August, in 3 in a suite with mountain view. Sadly, it was a very disappointing stay. The entrance, bar and restaurant have amazing views as you go in, but the rooms are in dorms reached by long underground corridors with a big glass facing their terrace/gardens, which are laid in a line looking onto a barren path with no privacy whatsoever. My daughter's bed was not a bed but a sofa and a stool put together with a thin mattress on top (see picture). The plumbing was poor: when we emptied the bath, dirty water came through the shower/toilet floor. It was never fixed during the stay. The concierge had not visited the closest village, she admitted with no qualms as if it was worth nothing, and when I asked her for hiking trails around the area she sent me to Metsovo's newsagent to get a map. She had previously shown me private 'experiences' (hiking, canyoning, truffle hunting) which apparently can be organised by the hotel but the price range is 200-over1000euros per 1-2 people and they need to be booked days in advance. The restaurant service is good at dinner but poor in the am: I asked bread with my Greek salad and the waiter said 'guys I don't think I can do bread for you today'. The food at least is good. The outside pool is very cold and my daughter found chlorine tablets in it whilst she was swimming (see picture). The inside pool and spa facilities are unusable: you get only 30min free with your stay and it took me 30min just to book it on the phone. When we arrived there, we had not been booked in anyway. In any case, the place was deserted (probably because it's actually so hard to be allowed in). The lady was us unwelcoming in person as she had been online: she promptly told me all the things I could not use (jacuzzi, sauna because they need to be reserved separately and paid at 10 euros pp per 30min) and laid various other rules. My daughter (she's 12 but looks 14 and is a club swimmer) was allowed to come and sit by the pool but not to swim, as kids are only allowed between 10-12, and by separate appointment. The pool had floating dead flies. It was a less than relaxing experience. In essence, great Pindos views from bar, restaurant and outer pool but, although the hotel claims a connection to nature, it does nothing to help you explore the surrounding area and there's not much for you to do if you stay in either. Result, I could not wait to leave. I suggest the management should visit some real luxury mountain hotels in the Dolomites for some ideas.…

Dear Relax766590, Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We are terribly disappointed that you did not enjoy your stay with us! Kindly note that room types vary according to their location in the hotel and the view that they have. Our rooms are scattered across 7 individual buildings, which are interconnected to the main building via closed corridors, in order to facilitate all year-round movement to and fro, despite weather adversities. We make sure all guests are informed about this arrangement, as well as the fact that our suites are designed for double capacity, while extra guests are accommodated on a sofa bed. We apologize for the plumbing malfunction in your bathroom, however it is worth mentioning that we run intensive maintenance inspections on a daily basis, in order to ensure functionality and efficiency. Rest assured that it was an isolated incident. We are surprised to read your reports regarding the service you have received from the team, as we are unable to detect that there is such an attitude towards our guests. As far as wellness facilities are concerned, please consider that the pool is an outdoor non-heated facility, located at an altitude of 1350m, therefore the temperature is affected by environmental factors. The SPA operates as an adults area only, however we make a small exception for appointments between 10:00-12:00, so that our younger guests can also enjoy the indoor hydrotherapy tank. The hydrotherapy facilities are available for private use upon appointment, according to Covid-19 prevention protocols and official safety guidelines. We do care for our continuous improvement and hope to have you with us again for a life-enhancing experience. Sincerely, The Grand Forest Metsovo Team!

The hotel is situated on the mountain facing Metsovo. One hour drive from Meteora and Two and a half hour from Aristi Zagoria. So you can stay in the hotel and visit both. The hotel has wonderful view from its facilities. We had a suite with Mountain View. A spacious room with very comfortable bed. Breakfast is very rich and a great choice. Spend some hours in the afternoon in the outer pool.take into consideration that the drive at night to the hotel after leaving the highway is in complete darkness up the hill. We managed. Overall experience is excellent.

I loved the hotel so much. The location is gorgeous, the room are perfect, the food and service are amazing. The only thing that really hurt my eyes to see is that small bird in the tiny cage at the lounge terrace. It seem so sad and lonely with no room to fly. I wish that this wonderful modern- wanna be hotel will take this review and do something with it and give this bird a better life- maybe set it free. it's very cruel to leave her alone whiteout another bird friend and without a big cage to fly. My colleagues and i felt so uncofeterblae seating next to the cage.

We visited on early October. Everything was great. The room was very clean, cozy and luxurious. Great attention has be paid to the design to fit in with the surroundings. Astonishing was the view to the village. The food was local and of great quality. There were many choices available for breakfast and dinner and the prices for the a la carte restaurant were reasonable for the quality offered.

From a hotel like this you expect the best. We made it a destination for our Meteora visit. Here is what we got: large clean room with a fireplace Nice staff. very service minded Lots of issues addressed below were ok or less, so not sure I will come back. Overall: value for money is ok. Here are some more details: Setting: beautiful location, isolated in the mountains (this means a lot of nice things, but includes the fact that there are many bugs, which may be an issue for some people). A lot of money was put into this place. However both architecturally and from a design perspective, they could have done a better job. It seems as if half way through the project they had a change of mind, taste or staff. The lobby floor is nice. Rooms Rooms are large and comfortable, but views are disappointing. Even in the upper larger rooms, I think called mountain-view, about a third of the view is of a building next door. On lower floors, I think called garden-view rooms, all you see is another building. This is amazing as there are no real limitation in an isolated mountain resort with fantastic surroundings. Noise I could here sounds and noises from rooms close by. Better isolation may be expected Bed is excellent Shower is great, our room had a double shower, no bath. Lighting in rooms is poor A/C The system is centrally controlled per room. You can change inside your room only 2 degrees from the preset. No one told us about it. We had a very cold first night. The following night we used the fireplace.a great experience and nice help from the staff. Thanks Covid-19 Hotel functioned extremely well under a tough situation Spa: One reason to come to such a resort is the spa. My wife and I reserved seven different treatments in advance. most treatments were sub par. You would expect a higher degree of professionalism and quality control in such a place. Food Nice breakfast. We also enjoyed our dinner and choice of wines Lobby/bar Great place to hang out. Good selection of alcohol. Trails: Some reviews addressed the issue of trails. Basically there is one trail, called ursa trail, which runs right by the hotel. However it is well marked only in some portions of the trail (especially from the village to the hotel, not so in the direction from the hotel to village). This means it is easy to get astray. Maps would be helpful. …

Spent a night at this great hotel. New, clean with large rooms. Be aware that the village is a 15 minute drive so plan accordingly. The one comment we have is regarding the food - dinner was voted unanimously (after nine days in Greece) as the worst dinner or lunch we had, the the staff was probably the less friendly we met. A pity for such a good place otherwise.
