Where the minimalist aesthetic and contemporary little luxuries meet the magic of Evrytanias nature.
Agios Nikolaos is the first little mountain village you encounter as you enter the prefecture of Evrytania on the road to Karpenisi. Built at an elevation of 1,020 m, on Neraidovouni gazing toward Velouchi, it is a small alpine paradise, perfect for getaways in every season.
There, beside the forest of wild chestnut trees, Kastanea House & Bar offers a unique hospitality experience to travelers seeking moments of calm and coziness in nature.
The moment you set eyes on its elegant, supremely atmospheric spaces, you will realize this is not just another mountain guesthouse. Owner and avid traveler Nikos Tsiagkas, inspired by chalets in Northern Europe, Austria, and Bavaria, has created a refuge that marries minimal modern aesthetics with a maximalist spirit of hospitality, the comfort of a 5 star hotel with the individuality of a boutique hotel, the familiarity of staying in a small guesthouse with the warmth of a mountain home.
The Kastanea building blends with the setting and the natural environment of Evrytania, yet its architecture reflects the contemporary aesthetic of a modern hotel, using industrial elements throughout. The atmosphere will enchant you from the first moment: smoked wood and warm hues. Brown tones in indirect and enigmatic lighting exude a sense of minimal mountain chic. Also contemporary, understated design, clean lines, industrial abstraction, functionality. Comfort, luxury, and elegance.
The hotel offers only 7 suites, styled and detailed with care. Brimming with warmth and comfort, they create a sense of luxurious intimacy. Each suite features a fully equipped kitchenette and dining area, a king size bed with a Coco-Mat mattress, an energy efficient fireplace, and a living area that evokes the ambiance of a private home. The view from the balconies to the Tymfristos ridge is magical.
The hotel bar is equally atmospheric. Settle in by the fireplace and leaf through books on architecture and interior design, savor a malt whisky, a cocktail, or a homemade liqueur, and unwind to music that will carry you away.
The breakfast at Kastanea is renowned for its quality and flavor. Nothing is pre-made or frozen, and every recipe (jams, pancakes, pies, cakes, etc.) is prepared in-house. Do not miss the exceptional scrambled eggs made with eggs from a nearby henhouse. Here you will enjoy your breakfast slowly and leisurely, reading or chatting, listening to the rain and watching the snow, or feeling the fresh cool of a summer morning.
In winter, Agios Nikolaos is ideal for rest and relaxation by the fireplace amid a snowy landscape, while in the other seasons you can enjoy activities such as hiking, rafting, and cycling. Whatever the season, one thing is certain: the land of Evrytania will enchant you. The routes and trails through the beautiful natural scenery, the picturesque villages, the Panta Vrechei gorge, the Karpenisi Ski Center, the Monastery of Proussos, and many more places and sights of interest will offer you unique images and experiences.
