Fodor's Expert Review Kalaitzis Estate

Though not within Vergina itself, this countryside retreat is well worth the effort to reach and is especially delightful in the snow-covered winter months because of its plush, cozy, and sumptuous decor. Stout brown-leather sofas, sculpted wood features, stone walls, fluffy bedding provide comfort, while windows look out to glorious natural scenes—a vineyard, a lake, a garden, and a pretty village—thanks to its hilltop position. Efficiently and lovingly run by a wine-making family, the boutique hotel also serves stylish and delicious Greek, Mediterranean, and European food that is suitable even to those with the most challenging of dietary needs (vegan, gluten-free, halal, kosher, etc). The bedrooms offer a soothing old-world elegance combined with contemporary chic (think 18th-century style brass taps in a bathroom with chromotherapy lights).
