19th-century village house meets rustic-chic hotel in the cobbled back streets of Papigo
Plucked straight out of a fairy tale, this mountain hostel-meets-rustic-chic retreat is a charming throwback to simpler traditional living with a style narrative and warm hospitality that captures the essence of remote mountain village living.
Rustic-luxe interiors blend warm woods and white stucco walls with bespoke accents like flower-stenciled fireplaces and blue-trimmed windows. A truly lovable stay, with character and a strong sense of place.
“Papigo and the area of Zagori combine both amazingly beautiful and unspoiled nature with a traditional stone architecture of great craftsmanship. And our welcoming hotel guarantees a perfect stay.”

the look.
Light-filled traditional rooms are styled with vaulted wood ceilings, thick white-washed walls, hand-painted fireplaces, and sleek wooden floors. Cozy but stylish white-washed rooms are defined by handwoven baskets, brightly colored kilims, and timeworn surfaces full of character. Comfy coco-mat bedding, puffy white duvets, and Laura Ashley linens ensure a good night of sleep, and cobalt blue-trimmed windows open out onto the Old English flowered gardens below. Weathered-yet chic charm exuding a warm hygge vibe deep in the heart of Papigo.
