The house
Beyond GreenZagori stone outpost
Slate-roofed stone cottages step down the hillside, where walking boots at breakfast yield to fireside tsipouro as mountain mist settles over Aristi.

What they say
Two Michelin Keys
Michelin
As resorts go, it’s a small one, a modest but attractive collection of stone structures perched high on a hill…
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
The towering cliffs of Vikos Gorge, Ottoman stone bridges, and the turquoise waters of the Voidomatis River surround the hillside village.
The rooms
Local masonry and timber beam ceilings frame gorge views, while wood-burning fireplaces warm multi-level suites fitted with Duxiana mattresses.
Indoor and outdoor pools
Bring a swimsuit.
A glass-encased indoor pool looks toward the peaks, and a seasonal pool sits on the stone terrace.
Hammam and hot tub
A green-marble Turkish hammam and a hydrotherapy hot tub sit within stone chambers under timber ceilings.
The spa
An open-air timber pavilion hosts massages and body treatments that incorporate local botanical ingredients.
Salvia Restaurant
The kitchen prepares regional mountain recipes using wild foraged mushrooms and vegetables from the on-site glass greenhouse.
At the table
Stone terraces host breakfast and evening drinks against views of the greenhouse and towering rock cliffs.
How it began
Founder Vassilis Iosifidis established the retreat in 1999, shaping local stone and timber into an amphitheater matching traditional Zagorochoria masonry.
