Shamrock Elati Retreats

The hotel was really traditional and cosy. The room was spacious and very comfortable with a large balcony and a great view of the mountains and the beginning of the Vikos gorge. Breakfast was homemade and delicious. The small village of Elati was pretty and a perfect place to spend a white Christmas. The location was handy for exploring the rest of the Zagori area.

Panos and Popy are the most wonderful hosts , we had an amazing time and for sure will come back soon we highly recommend the place the village the room the food Popi and Panos we love u!!

Amazing stay in a very special place in Zagori area. The owners took care of every detail and made you feel at home. Mr Panayiotis traveled us around the world with his stories!Enjoyed every moment there.Thank you!

Don’t expect this place will be of this typical ordinary accommodation. Absolutely not. Popi and Panos provide exceptional level of service, care, attention, they create this atmosphere where you simply feel their family member. No exaggeration. Popi knew I preferred brown bread, she just went down to the city and bought a special bread for me so I can enjoy these perfect breakfasts at fullest. Panos learnt I’ve got a scratch on my car and immediately fixed it. I’ve been traveling with my dog, and they took as good care of her as for me. The rooms are very authentic, high quality, retro style. Things they have inside took me some time to explore and kept bringing me back to these times when every item was made with hands and care.Accessibility is good, you will find the place easily.It has 2 restaurants just nearby with good food made of fresh ingredients. The place was great at summer time, and I’m quite sure it’ll be the same for any other season. I’m just super lucky to have found this place…

There’s nothing I didn’t like.

The location of the hotel was good and the view from the window at the Vikos Canyon was excellent. The hotel looks very cute from outside. The hotel owners are very chatty, so you may feel welcome.

We made a road trip on a budget with multiple stops and we decided to book Shamrock as a fancier hotel based on the lovely Booking.com photos despite it had double the price of our other stays. But the hotel was a disappointment, the room was small with a bad layout and not in the Booking photos, it was by far the most outdated since there were all the elements found in hotels of the 80s such as visible pipes and cables running through walls, a tiny bathroom with tiles hastily applied and holes hastily repaired with plaster instead of new tiles. An added problem was that there was music playing up to 2:30 in the morning, preventing my partner to sleep well. It seems absurd that most expensive of our stays, was the smallest, by far the lowest quality and by far the most expensive.

The owners, Mrs Popi and Mr Panos, surely go the extra mile to make their guests feel like home. Breakfast is super delicious! Home made, by Mrs Popi herself. Fresh, local products used and a different variety of savoury and sweet delicacies every day! Spacious rooms, the greatest views of the gorge. What's more to ask!

The location is great. We loved the owners, very warm, hospitable and made you feel like at home from the start. What a great story! We sat outside and had some beers whilst enjoying the view from the property, just brilliant. So tranquil and stunning at the same time.

Charming adress, warm welcome, magnificent view, beautifull people

Our stay at Shamrock Elati was unique, since we felt like we were in a family. It's a quiet, traditional hotel, with magnificent views and excellent hospitality from the owners. Breakfast from Ms. Popi is amazing but the same applies to every food/dessert produced by her kitchen. The next time we visit Zagorochoria, for sure we will stay at Shamrock Elati again.

This is the best place to stay near Ioannina!Clean and well made cozy rooms, with that distinct old style that makes you feel welcome.It's a old style hotel that survived ages and through out generations has changed hands during different occupations.That makes the place very special.The hosts were 2 amazing people that made you feel special to be in their hotel, and gave you a small taste of the real traditional Greek hospitality.They gave us directions and helpful tips for our visit but above all were a great company for those chill nights at their bar, telling stories and having fun.The breakfast was handmade and plenty, with a variety of foods for every hungry soul.The place has a parking spotWould definitely come again, and again!

Everything was perfect

Location,view, breakfast

No hot water 24/7

Shamrock is in very smart central spot, if you want to explore the villages of Zagori (Ζαγοροχώρια). You can easily organize daily trips to different directions. The guesthouse combines various styles in a quiet interesting way. The manager/owner Mrs. Popi is a wonderful person and a great cook. A real jewel! Always smiling and always extreme helpful. A true symbol of the Hellenic hospitality. The bed was very comfortable and the night sleep was very relaxing. The central view to the mountains is breathtaking.

The breakfast was great with homemade pies and really good ingredients. The view from the room was fantastic.The room was sparkling clean with nice touches. I was kindly provided a hair dryer when asked for it.

The room we were given didn’t match the images I had seen on booking. The room was smaller than expected. I would expect a slightly lower price for this reason. All the rest was great!

Very nice place in a small old village.the view is fantastic.The host Penelope very kind trying to help you going around.she makes delicious breakfast with homemade cakes and gems.
