Im going there very often ! I love the feeling being there ! 
Every room has totally different design and mood! 
Staying there makes you feel like you’re out of this world! 
The staff so kind and polite! 
The village around there super cute ! 
I highly recommended!

Just visit this place !

This is our second time and we have promised to go at least once a year. This is not a stay, it is a wholistic experience. The houses are perfectly curated, with deep knowledge of the North American culture and genuine respect for it's era's lifestyle. 

I can talk for ever for this resort. Every single detail is fine. The houses are all amazing. There is no right or wrong choice here. The breakfast experience is fab either in villa or in the restaurant. The stay is a time travel to the American North and the feelings deriving are unique. The bonfires by the porch are my favourite highlight. Take a blue tooth speaker, play New Orleans jazz and bring your finest whiskey (I don't drink burbon).

Travelling as couples or families, this is a lifetime experience. Maybe one of my happiest places so far.

The only thing that requires improving, is that some accommodations funny have a shaded porch and this is a problem of it rains, as sitting by the outdoor fire is a must!

Best themed hotel in Greece

What to say… Everything is so nice and beautiful here. The people, the houses, the farm and the animals. So nice. I wish i could stay for ever. My family enjoys so much inside Vasilikia farm with the animals and the walks inside. The design of the farm is amazing. Congratulations 🎈

The best Farm in Greece

We might be oldies [70+], Vasilikia is definitely paradise for younger folks and kids but we had an amazing time.  Irini and the team are fantastic, just so welcoming, helpful and friendly.  Nothing was too much trouble for them.  Also they were very careful of maintaining Covid protocol. The weather was pretty cold, lots of snow on our last day, but it was no problem at all.  The cabin was warm, the  team dug us out of our hut and helped getting the cars safely out etc.  The breakfast is excellent, great foodie places nearby, wonderful walks in the pristine forest, so all in all it was a lovely break from city life.  The only issue some had was with there being no door to the bathroom and loo!! But that's an oldie thing.  Can't wait to see my kids and grandchildren going there.  They will love it and we would love to go back too.

Great getaway

When my wife suggested we visit an American farm type lodge, I was convinced that this is gonna be another cheesy replica. When I saw the images in the website, I realised that these guys are the real thing.

What can I say? They have true knowledge, every corner in their lodges is expertly curated, the vibe is laid back and within minutes this place travels you years back to the other end of the Atlantic. This is a living museum to the American heritage. It should be awarded by the American Embassy, as I doubt that anything like this even exists in the States.

The accommodation is premium and pricing for what this place offers is real value for money. Families spending quality time, couples falling in love and groups of friends enjoying the outdoor fireplaces over the tunes of country music, sipping their bourbon. This is gonna be my retreat for the years to follow. We just checked out and we are already checking dates for our next visit. I recommend this place to anyone bored of the usual, to those experiential travellers that want to add more experiences in their arsenal, to digital nomads and to people just seeking a proper retreat. Definitely one of the most extraordinary places that I have visited.

To be objective, yes we did have some mishaps. Our kitchen heating stopped working, the main entrance got stuck and the horse farm workers forgot the stable lights on, resulting to some stressed animals being noisy. The staff has reacted rapidly though and has fixed everything in no time. It's not easy to run a farm with numerous spread out lodges and we acknowledge this. Things do happen in hotels, it's how reactive the staff is when things go wrong and in this case the staff is amazing and can't do more to help. I can write and write and write about our experience in Vasilikia, but I think I will leave it to the rest of you to make your own story.

Tip: use the outdoor fire places, bring a bottle of premium whisky (I don't like bourbon), search for the right playlists in Spotify and dive deep in the experience. This place is a canvas, it is not a hotel.

A true experience

This unique retreat is perched high in the mountains about 2 hrs north of Athens, refreshed by numerous streams and surrounded by evergreens.  It is a perfect spot for families with children, and provided us a break from the typical resort/hotel experience.   We stayed in the Country House, which was very comfortably furnished with whimsical touches, a fully equipped kitchen, porches overlooking the countryside, and a fireplace. Other cabins on the property looked equally appealing. Breakfast was delicious and abundant, including freshly baked bread, eggs cooked to order and laid by hens who greeted us each morning, fruit, and yogurt with local honey.  Our nephew loved exploring the property and visiting with the horses, geese, ducks, rabbits, and other animals, who were obviously well taken care of.  Satellite TV and WiFi took care of those of us who wanted to stay connected, but the real benefit was the opportunity to escape for awhile into surroundings close to nature.

A truly delightful experience!

Hello all,
As you can see the Farm is cute, cozy and beautiful but the staff is terrible. I called in order to get help because with the covid-19 restrictions our booking was canceled. The person I spoke with lost his temper and was really rude on me, something that I find unacceptable because 'the customer is always right'. This happened because I received a voucher and I can use it whenever I want. This is good but I explained to him that I study abroad and I would prefer my money back as I payed the 30% of the stay in advance. 

He started shouting at me, he did not let me finish my sentences, he hanged up the phone twice without saying anything. 

I think this 'Farm retreat' is a scum and just try to rip off their customers. We live in a world were people cannot go outside their homes and do not have money to eat but this 'tough' guy does not care at all.

All I asked was alternatives and some help with the situation and he started screaming on me. I am sure if I was there he would have hit me. He was angry and rude. 

I do not recommend going there.

Terrible Staff and Communication, Rude

The coffee machine in the room

- 
The room was full of dust and hairs probably from the cats hanging around the farm. It was an allergy nightmare for me, I woke up everyday with a running nose and a terrible headache. Very unpleasant. 

In terms of cleanliness all cutlery and kitchen items were not clean either. All items we used to drink coffee were stained and we were disgusted. The room was not cleaned those two days and we were provided with no shampoo or body wash or any other amenities. Someone would think that with this price there would even be slippers. 

The breakfast room is very pleasant and smells really nice and they serve hot and fresh bread but it is not available to guests during the day if you want to have a drink or just enjoy the room. 

All these are quite disappointing considering the amazing aesthetics of the place. Never in my life have I ever been in such a stylish place. Definitely not in Greece or in Europe. 

Tip: make sure you have everything you need with you, i.e. medication, shampoos, tobacco or anything else necessary. There is not mini market available unless you drive for 30mins!!!

I expected much more

A very nice farm with separate wooden houses that are perfectly decorated and maintained. The big surprise in this settlement is the AIRSTREAM travel trailer that i located in one of the highest points in the farm offering a different experience to the visitors.  Imported from the United States and maintained be Mr. Stavros to the finest detail, it offered us a magical weekend. I strongly suggest it for travelers that would like to experience this type of vacation. 

The breakfast that is served is great and many of the offered products are organic and locally produced in the farm.

Mr. Stavros the Vasilikia Mountain Retreat is great!!! We hope you keep it this way. Congratulations.

Dream weekend in the countryside

...There was not so so much dust inside the room in everywhere (toys, carpets, blankets etc)! Totally unacceptable at all for an expensive place like Vasilikia but generally unacceptable for any hotel! We couldnt imagine there will not be any shampoo or body wash! We had to take bath with the hand liquid soap!
