Very few small hotels exist that manage to combine an excellent location, a warm welcome, a pretty interior, an easy-going atmosphere, a terrific breakfast, and maybe even a nice surprise. Just such a place of perfection exists in Arahova, Greece’s most trendy little town in the mountains, not far from the Parnassos ski centre and just twelve kilometres from Delphi.
The building is over a hundred years old and used to be a family home. Today it consists of nine unique rooms. The smallest is a cosy love nest furnished with just one big bed. It is called Erotas, Greek for love. The other rooms have comfortable country style furniture, a working fireplace, and fun details in their décor. Helicopter is a suite with wide windows and fantastic views over the mountains, while Companionship, spread over two levels (sleeping up to eight) and with a cute patio in front, is ideal for families.
The guesthouse has a small sitting room (non-smoking!). This is where breakfast is served. In the high season (winter weekends and holidays), it is especially copious, with massive omelettes, elaborate crepes, chocolate cake and freshly squeezed orange juice and you won’t leave the breakfast table without feeling that you have put on at least a kilo or two (but that it was worth every gram).
In the basement of the guesthouse you will find a funky relaxation space, with an indoor swimming pool (replete with a Jacuzzi and water massage) and a sauna.
Your experiences
* "We only wish we could have stayed longer"
We loved our stay at the Hotel Generali. We only wish we could have stayed longer. The hotel was great and the staff were very helpful. We appreciated the ease with which we were able to reserve the room through your service. We can't wait to go back to Greece again soon. Thank you!

* "A friendly place"
A friendly place with a homey atmosphere and immaculate, comfortable rooms; facilities include an indoor swimming pool! Arahova is a charming setting with good restaurants and shops but still retaining a real village feeling and very convenient to the wonderful ruins at Delphi.

How to get there
About half a kilometre after you enter Arahova (coming from Athens/Thiva), you will find an old school building on your left. Leave your car and go down the steps between the school and the taverna (Agnadio). Take a left after you pass the church, and you will see the guesthouse a bit further on, on your right. If you call the guesthouse from the main road, someone will come to help you with your luggage.
Activities
Arahova is a perfect base from where to visit the ancient site of Delphi. For most Athenians, however Arahova is synonymous to after-ski, and if you come in the winter, you should definitely try the slopes of the Parnassos ski centre.
In small mountain town, in a quiet pedestrian street.
