Ξενώνας Βαβίτσας — Hotel in Meteora Municipality

I mention the toothbrushes because they were quite nice and my own was getting a bit ugly. Additionally, they provide slippers to wear which I think is also another sign that they care about their guests. No breakfast, but plenty of coffee in the morning. KATERINA will hopefully be the one to greet you upon arrival. She is so energetic and welcoming and will answer any questions you might have. She even calmed me when I got a parking ticket in Kalambaka. I was smiling after talk.||The location in Kastraki is superior to nearby Kamabaka where you might get parking tickets because you cannot read the signs that a meter is somewhere on the street. Kalambaka also lacks the charm of Kastraki. Just minutes from Kalambaka, you will find that Kastraki has some very nice restaurants within walking distance of Guesthouse Vavitsa. We drove past it when we first arrived so, look for Vavitsa Restaurant and then it is just past that a bit on the right. The most noticeable sign says BABITSA.||The guest house is just along the road leading to the dramatic rock formations and monasteries. All you have to do is drive up the street to reach each of them. There are some views from your guesthouse windows or small balcony but some view from room 3 is blocked by trees. Never mind, we did not really care because we were not here to sit at the guesthouse.||Everything was very clean. The beds were reasonably comfortable. There is a small refrigerator. The price is very reasonable and I would recommend to all who like calm, welcoming, and pleasant (if not luxurious so you can eat more souvlaki) accommodations.||Thank you again, Katerina. You...

My wife and I stayed for 3 nights whilst visiting Meteora. If you want all the mod cons of a hotel then Vavitas is not for you, but if quaint and quiet, with endless free coffee and cookies and excellent conversation with the hotel manager Katerina, then it comes Highly Recommended.||||Vavitas is located on the main road leading yp to the monasteries. Whilst it only has car parking for 2 or 3 cars, it only has 7 rooms ad there is plenty of on street parking adjacent to it as well as some rough ground about 50 metres down the hill, so no problem.||||The rooms as well furnished in an older style. My wife said it had "a woman's touch" As it was chilly during our stay the heating was on and kept us well and truly snug. ||||The guest house doesn't provide food, but free coffee, tea and cookies are freely available all day. No need to drink anywhwere else!! ||||Reception is only open from 2-10 daily, so no chance of an early arrival, that said we arrived around 3.30 so not an issue. On day of departure, you are requested to deposit the romm key at reception! Very trusting!||||If and when ny wife and I return to Meteora, we would definately stay at Vavitas again. And if you are travelling from Britain, you will be especially welcome, as Katerina loves to speak English and we were one of the very few Brits that have stayed!! ...

Really lovely rooms. Very pretty outside and inside. Clean and spacious. Wifi was available in my room. Additional pillows and sheets are available in the closet. You can request for a change of towels if you prefer. They don't change them everyday. You also get a small but good view of the meteora. It is close to a few good restaurants and mini marts. A short 10min walk away from Kastraki.

It's a small city so every driver and operator knows the Vavitsas Guesthouse. No issues getting to and from.

Margarita is really friendly and helpful. So is the cleaner. She offered advice on the trails to take for the hike to Meteora, places to eat and booked a taxi for us to the train station. Very meticulous to write down the local bus service timings, taxi driver's number and details etc.

The Guesthouse has a small reception area where you can get hot and cold water, coffee and tea and even small local snacks. A really lovely touch. Definitely something different from the average guesthouses...
