If you’re looking for authentic Greek hospitality, peaceful surroundings, and a true sense of place, Theoxenia in Andritsaina is simply unbeatable. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed like family. The building itself is full of old-world charm — traditional architecture, beautiful details, and a cozy, timeless atmosphere that makes you feel immediately at home. Our room was spotless, comfortable, and quiet, with a balcony overlooking the picturesque village and lush mountains. Waking up to the sound of birds and the fresh scent of the forest was a true reset from city life. Location-wise, it’s perfect for exploring the area: close to the Temple of Apollo Epicurius, beautiful hiking trails, and local tavernas where time seems to stand still. If you’re tired of generic hotels and want a genuine experience full of warmth, tradition, don’t think twice — Theoxenia is a rare find. We can’t wait to go there again.

The accommodation is on the second floor, but there is no elevator. The road is stunning during daylight, but you’ll definitely want to avoid driving on the mountain roads after dark! Andritsaina itself doesn't offer much to do, and although other places are nearby, the drive can be slow.

The hotel is located in a peaceful mountain village, offering breathtaking views and a scenic drive to get there. The staff went above and beyond, providing exceptional friendliness and helpfulness throughout our stay. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, and everything is spotlessly clean, nd the atmosphere is very peaceful.

This hotel is legendary with nice stories to share about architecture and tourism! Kudos to the manager who keeps this gem alive!

The hotel is a real gem. it is perhaps the only intact example of a "philoxenia" hotel, an initiative of the Greek state in the 1950s and 1960s to provide the nation with hotels of international standing. There were dozens of them, in a modernist style, with interiors of coherent design, all curated by the star architect Aris Konstantinidis. Today almost all of them are ruins, or have been altered or converted. The Theoxenia of Andritsaina has been preserved and restored with love by its owner and is ready to welcome you with a unique and unforgettable charm. We stay here every year.

It was sometimes hard to communicate in English, but this is not uncommon in Greece. We always managed in the end.

This hotel is a real architectural gem in the middle of a stunning mountainous landscape. Built in the early 60s by the famous Greek architect Aris Konstantinidis, some of the rooms have been recently refurbished and modernised, thus offering the best of both worlds: a real vintage experience combined with modern comfort. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, and shared a lot about the history of the place.

There is no lift at the hotel, although one is to be installed next year. The hotel is quite large and felt a little bit eerie, because there weren't many guests there when we stayed..

The hotel is situated in a very tranquil village in the mountains. The view from our balcony was beautiful. The staff worked hard to provide our breakfast made every effort to ensure we had plenty of food. Our room was a good size and the double bed large and comfortable. The village gave itself over to a market on Friday which was very friendly. Water for the room was collected from the local spring which, was great.

- the 70’s style of the building and the whole aesthetic - the lady in the reception

It is a very quiet location. Good for the temple of Apollo & ancient Olympia. But limited restaurant choice outside of peak season in July / August.

Interesting period property with vintage 60s charm. Clean, comfortable & spacious rooms that have been very recently refurbished. Nice views from the balcony. Helpful & cheery hosts.

The fridge was quite noisy in the room, we turned it off at night.

There was a nice balcony for sitting out with a stunning view. Breakfast was very good, including gluten free provision.

If you were making a film set in the 1960s/70s, this hotel would be a great location - think "Overlook Hotel" without the carpet and the ghosts. But for two weary travellers between archaeological sites, this was less valuable. The roads around Andritsaina are challenging (but stunning on a sunny day in May!) On the day we left, the centre was shut for a running race, the diversion looked impossibly scary in our car, and we instead drove in the opposite direction, which, in the mountains, makes for a long detour. If we visit Bassae again, we will perhaps consider staying on the coast.

It's not the best hotel we stayed at, but Andritsaina doesn't offer a lot of choice. (And you definitely don't want to be driving on the mountain roads in the dark! So staying in Andritsaina is your main option after a trip to Bassae.) The building's modernist architecture makes it an interesting museum piece now. Despite the unpromising appearance of the hotel, room was adequately equipped. Breakfast was better than expected. Andritsaina looks shabby at first, but authentic. View from balcony over the green forested hills was very pleasant..

Out of season, in early October, the hotel no longer provides breakfast. Not a problem, but as there is space in the room, a small tray with an electric kettle and two ceramic mugs would have been useful.

At first sight this 1960s-built hotel may look a bit tired, but the rooms have been recently refurbished, are bigger than average and very comfortable. Fans of (early?)1960s architecture will love this hotel. The view from the balconies on to the mountain scenery is stunning (very comfy deckchairs) and even though the hotel is right on the road into the village, it is really quiet (the village is tiny). There was a lovely young lady at reception who was so kind, helping me with my luggage and telling me about the area. Finally: there's plenty of parking right in front. For people with children: the hotel has unusually large public areas.

Our recent stay at Hotel Theoxenia in Andritsaina, Peloponnese, was an absolute delight. The combination of vintage allure and contemporary comfort, complemented by the well-preserved original furniture, made for an incredibly unique and authentic atmosphere. The picturesque views from the rooms, overlooking the traditional village and majestic mountains, were simply breathtaking. Sotiria, our gracious hostess, not only extended a warm welcome but also shared the rich history of the hotel, making our experience truly unforgettable.

Interesting hotel - the outside looks like something from 1960s palm springs, the hallways are a mix of very traditionally furnished common rooms with seemingly unfinished halls, while the inside of the rooms are modern and minimalistic. Everything was very comfortable and the view over the town and valley was amazing. Staff was friendly and helpful. Free parking.

We enjoyed our short stay in a recently renovated, spacious bedroom with comfortable beds, tasteful furniture and a narrow balcony with views towards the tree lined slope across the road. This historical hotel, designed according to the Bauhaus school is located is at the east end of the village, where it was easy to park the car and explore Andritsaina on foot. Staff were extremely nice and waited for us for a late check-in.

Stayed in September 2022

The location was excellent. Overlooking a mountain hill and only a few meters away from the center of the village. The room also was recently renovated with nice furniture and modern appliances. The staff was discreet and very helpful. Last but not least it was exceptionally clean. A great choice for travelers.
