Nefeles Luxury Residences & Lounge - Kardaras

Their site photos are real. The surrounding area is marvelous and the rooms are perfect.

Excellent place to live. Very friendly staff and very good service. Rooms very good, clean and spaced.

Beautiful located with very helpful and service oriented staff. Close to wonderful hiking paths.

Went un the summer, the price was amazing! Location is slightly secluded, but oh-so-worth it. The cabins are amazing, and nice breakfast. The view from the balcony is breathtaking.

Must visit! Beautiful residences, friendly staff, stunning environment. Best place for relaxing and getting close to the nature in less than 2 hours by car from Athens.

Excellent place inside the forest. Perfect services, very elegant suites. We recommend to stay there and live the ultimate silence. Apostolis and the other people of the facility they will make you feel like your home. Very nice breakfast. Excellent hospitality. Walk around the mountain go for ski only 6 km away. Eat at the taverns above the suites go to levidi village 10 minutes away for everything you need.

Clean and wide space. Perfect for mountain trip or skiers. Lack of kitchen utensils.

The positive: The location is simply perfect. Pine forest all around, silence, clean air, everything you need for a perfect getaway from the city. The staff were very kind and friendly. The whole guesthouse looks amazing in general, very well built and maintained in the common areas. The room was very big, almost sparkling clean, and mostly in good condition, with a large bed and couch, and a well-sized kitchenette. Plus: surely the best WiFi we had in a hotel in a looong time, really a lot of electrical sockets all around the room, and all wood for the (tiny) fireplace was at no extra cost (most places offer the first batch "for free" and then charge for any extra). And we got a free upgrade, got a first floor room for a better view, very sweet! The not so positive: To be honest, if it didn't have "Luxury" in the title we would feel better about the guesthouse in general. But: the bed was too hard (and I like hard-y beds, but with a soft upper layer), the pillows were terrible, and the sofa was really uncomfortable (no way to sit for more than 15 minutes without getting back aches - we were told that in their "better" rooms the couches are not so often used as a bed so they get to be comfier, acceptable explanation but problem not solved). This means we booked this place to relax (brought a handful of books with us) and ended up spending no more than a couple of hours before going to bed in the room, as it was simply impossible to get comfortable, and we are not a hard couple to please, we don't need luxury or anything, just a warm comfy room with a soft couch and a nice bed. Also, there was not even one hook for a coat (and this is a 100% winter destination), absolutely nothing in the kitchenette to make it a bit cosy for the guest (no tea, no coffee, absolutely nothing to say "please feel welcome"), some issues with room maintenance (2 bulbs were missing, another 2 were out, the bathroom door handle was almost broken, the bathroom trash can was a bit damaged) that don't really scream "luxury". But the worst of all was the breakfast: first of all, the breakfast room. Almost a basement, NO OUTSIDE VIEW WHATSOEVER, and you have one of the best views we have ever seen. I cannot imagine how they decided to pick this space for breakfast, you couldn't tell if you were at 1.000 m altitude in the pine forest or in a well-lit basement in Athens. Terrible, simply terrible. And the breakfast itself: also an Athens vibe to it, although now in Athens breakfast is really getting better. Nothing really "village-y", no local produce whatsoever, just supermarket stuff. We did eat it, but it was 100% wrong for the place. Such a disappointment. All in all: with a bit of work this can be an extraordinary guesthouse, a total winner.
