Meraviglia Slow Living

An amazing architectural wonder in the middle of nowhere!! In absolute blend with nature and the biodiversity of its surroundings the building boosts of beauty and harmony. On the beach front - with your room pool as close to the beach as anything! Quiet and relaxing ideal to switch off and relax. Everything is beautifully chosen and every piece of furniture is chosen with much detail, elegance and class. Dinner was excellent, our breakfast wonderful and so was our room service. A huge congratulations to the chef!

Beautiful, unusual hotel with open plan rooms and individual pools. There are now some new rooms (a total of 14) and a restaurant. Rooms 1-7 are at the front, 8-14 are staggered just behind, but still have sea views, although not as expansive as those on the front. Without exception the staff are all very diligent, friendly and helpful. It was mostly full but with only 14 rooms this is an extremely quiet place to be and there is no communal pool. The only time you may see people is in the bar/restaurant, but lots of people choose to eat in their room. The grounds are lovely and although the beach here isn’t very picturesque, you are spoiled for choice locally. We recommend Artolithia beach about half an hour away. You definitely want a car if you’re staying here. Pools are not heated and in May the water was pretty chilly, but they’re cleaned every day and spotless. There are so many positive things I could say. Things to do- Museum is only 10 minutes away (near Lidl) and well worth a visit before going to Nicropolis ancient theatre. Don’t miss the Roman villa either, or the Odeum just behind the Byzantine city walls (check google maps). When we visited in May we literally had these places to ourselves! Archeron springs (50 mins) is a stunning gorge walk/swim, but I dread to think how busy it gets in peak season. Parga and the castle are also worth visiting (1 hr away). The wetland reserves of Amvrakikos and Salaora are stunning if you like bird watching. You can drive over the amazing causeway to Ákra Korakónisa. Akrotiri restaurant is a few minutes away and very nice (use the free hotel bikes) and don’t miss out on the authentic restaurants in Preveza (Crazy Shrimp is good). It’s a working town but the centre has some great streets.

Stayed here for a week. Genuinely the best hotel ww have ever stayed in. Facilities are incredible. Large comfortable bed. Fresh private pool, outdoor hot tub, power shower, outdoor private terrace with swing seat Could go on... Staff are amazing and very helpful. The food at hotel is also delicious. The breakfast in particular is the best hotel breakfast we have ever experienced. The gym is very unique and has a zen feel. Has all facilities you would want and need. If you are looking at this place.. don't hesitate and book its outstanding. Few points/tips if you are thinking about staying. The only slight problem we had here was the Internet connection. It was a regional problem so not hotels fault. It was not working for about 5 days of our trip. If need to do work bear in mind it is in rural Greece so you may need a backup plan! To be fair though last two days internet been really solid. Location is overlooking beach. If you want to be by the beach it is about 5 minute walk. For restaurants and shops there is a small village Mytikas with a couple of shops and a couple of nice restaurants. Reachable by a 10-15 minute walk on the beach. The evening food at hotel is great and can have in your room over looking pool/sea. We regularly went to Preveza where lots of restaurants especially by the marina. 20 euros there and back by Taxi. If you want to visit lefka this will be 100 euros there and back so if that is a place you want to visit then may need to rent a car. We managed fine by walking using bikes at hotel for free or taxi to Preveza. An amazing hotel and location. If you want a relaxing break this is the place for you.

This boutique hotel is the epitome of privacy and relaxation. There are only seven suites, and the location is outside of any town, so it's quiet, peaceful, and serene. The focus is on the suites themselves. Each has a large, open-space living area, both inside and out. A/C was strong. Bed was very comfortable. The outdoor private areas for our suite included our own pool, cushioned loungers and table and chairs (where we ate our breakfasts and dinners), and also a separate private outdoor area with a hot tub and hanging chair. We spent many an hour enjoying these spaces. We ate most of our meals during our three day stay on-site, and the food was delicious, with a robust set of options. You have a choice of eating in your room or in your private outdoor area, or in one of several locations on the property. There is a small spa and fitness room, as well as a "Zen lounge" with a lending library and large screen TV (there are also large TVs in the suites). The staff is focused on not invading the guests' privacy, which was unusual (in a good way) and much appreciated. While there is no beach "on-site," you are only minutes away by car from Monolithi beach. By the time we left, I think I can honestly say that I was more relaxed than I have ever been. This is not a place for loud conversation (or loud anything), but if you want to refresh, renew and rejuvenate, this is your dream location.

This is a truly wonderful place far away from any hassle and the slightest signs of mass tourisme. Lost somewhere midst the tomate plantations but right on the untouched seaside, this architectural gem features 7 suites, each with a stunning private pool. We stayed in all three room sizes: the smallest features next to the private pool an outdoor jacuzzi (although in the shade and without view), the medium size has a large private pool and an amazingly large front window opening on a generous terrasse while as the largest suite has a huge private pool (slightly colder than the others with 3 (!) private terrasses, and a large private garden. It has two bedrooms, one with a bunkbed, ideal for a family of 4. Important to know: children are welcomed only above 12. Which is understandable as the private pools are next to each other and you can hear every word. The reception lady Anna, somehow the « Soul/Mama of Meraviglia » is probably the most amazing we’ve ever met. She truly went out of her way for the guests and was always a helping hand in all situation. She’s never short of recommendations for tours and explorations of the region. The only, rather important negative point is the kitchen/restauration service. First of all, no breakfast is included in the quite high rates. And while they advertise (and tax!) high quality fresh dishes, we were each time disappointed. Open sandwich with avocado has no avocado inside (« it’s avocado spread, mixed with the cream cheese), scrambled eggs with tomatoes comes with a tomato sauce although we asked for fresh, raw tomatoes, bread is all white and tasteless (« we ran out of whole grain bred » on several days), etc. No breakfast possible before 8.30. Room service is only on request and only if booked in the morning. All in all, an amazing place of exceptional conception but struggling to find the adequat food&beverages manager.

This boutique hotel is amazing! The accommodation is beautifully designed, the location is quiet and peaceful and the staff couldn’t be more helpful. Christina and Anna on reception are just fabulous! We were really sad to leave. We can’t wait to go back!
