Ilaeira Mountain Resort

Peaceful location high in the mountains. Lovely views, great facilities. Wish we had more time here.

This is my 4th time visiting this amazing resort it's unique place everything was great! The only thing we didn't like the pool was cold water full with flies & the water fountain of the pool wasn't working , but everything else was Great!!

We had an amazing time here.Quiet and relaxing. Staff were great. Nice pool and restaurant on the property. Unbelievable mountain views.

This property exceeded all my expectations for a nice place to stay near family in the area. It was a bit challenging of a drive up to the property but for the location and views, it is to be expected. The staff was exceptionally friendly! I would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone (not afraid of curvy mountain roads) 🇬🇷

Great stay! A bit sways from the town but definitely worth it! Great view and rooms, the staff was also great! One of my favorite things is they have a friendly little cat that loves to say hi to people!

Very friendly staff. Great location.

Beautiful setting. Great friendly staff. Breakfast simple but nice with all usual fare you would expect. Lovely spacious clean rooms. Recommend dinner with local tasty food with a view at a great price.

Awesome mountain getaway.

Un cadre magnifique, perdu dans la montagne. Il faut savoir qu’il y a des virages pendant la montée(15min) Un petit appartement très mignon. Salle de bain de bonne dimension. Dommage qu’il n’y ai pas de produits de base dans la cuisine, très sommaire. Un petit déjeuner sympathique.

Great night, had to leave early in the morning before breakfast at 8:30 which was too late for us to enjoy. There was no service in the evening at the bar.

Like the name says this is a mountain resort. You will have a very windy Road up the mountain to the resort, but the drive is worth it. Great views. Our stay was in October and we were one of two couples at the resort so very quiet. The restaurant was not open when we got to the Resort. We didn’t expect to have a meal there. We were able to have a few glasses of wine in the bar before it closed at nine and the gentleman that worked that night was very helpful. The morning breakfast was very nice. Homemade jams and Marmalades. It was a little cool to use the pool, but it looked very nice. I think it would be a great place to go in the summertime for a relaxing holiday.

Great place to stay way up in the mountains; a little tricky to find. Incredible breakfast.

The view is stunning! Quiet, peaceful property.

Hôtel assez retiré mais quand on arrive c’est vraiment très bien… belle vue sur les montagnes… grande chambre… nous avons souper sur place et c’était vraiment bon…. Nous avons aussi eu un super bon déjeuner… j’y retournerais assurément…

Perfect place for a recharge or a family gateaway

Les propriétaires sont mal aimables, cela fait 2 semaines que je change d’hôtels chaque jour, c’est la première fois que je suis accueillie aussi froidement. Et en parlant de froideur, il n’y avait pas d’eau chaude dans la douche , et pas de piles dans le boîtier de la climatisation alors qu’il faisait 37°. Nous avons pris une salade César dans leur restaurant, il n’y avait qu’une tomate cerise, de la salade verte et 4 cubes de 1 cm2 de poulet industriel, le tout baignant dans la vinaigrette. J’ai fait part du tout aux propriétaires qui m’ont juste dit qu’ils étaient désolés, sans proposer de geste commercial. Attention, l’hôtel est à 5 km de tout commerce, transports et restaurants. Il est sur pente importante, donc impraticable pour les personnes à mobilité réduite.

Ilaeria Resort is a gem located I the mountains. Awe striking views from everywhere including their refreshing pool. Their complimentary breakfast is a perfect way to start the day. Poolside cafe fulfills your daytime food and libation needs. The onsite restaurant has very tasty local cuisine. Highly recommended if you are looking to stay in the area. Our stay was the second week of July 2024.

Very nice staff excellent also room and property

excelente resort de montanha com uma vista fantástica

It’s amazing place, great service and great food.

great location for hiking with everything you need onsite. Wish we could have stayed longer !

I loved everything about this hotel. I wish I could have spent more time there. The hostess Olga was very pleasant. Their breakfast was delicious.

Wspaniały butikowy hotel. Chetnie wrócimy. Niepowtarzalny klimat

Un hotel somptueux . Un accueil formidable .merci à Olga pour sa gentillesse et son devouement . Je recommande vivement cet etablissement pour son cadre son calme et le professionnalisme de son équipe.

The property is located in the heart of the mountain, in a wonderful location. It is well kept, very clean, with a classy atmosphere. The staff are very polite and helpful. Catering to all our needs and providing information about the place and surrounding area activities. Although we visited during second vave of COVID-19 pandemic, the stay was memorable...

Wonderfully tranquil location with spectacular mountain views of Mount Taygetus & the vicinity. Fabulous accommodation with a romantic feel & a super breakfast choice. Excellent facilities with a first class poolside area. Lovely dining options for an evening meal. Fabulous hosts who made Karen & I feel so very welcome. Will definitely return! 1st Class!

Absolutely amazing getaway. Total serenity in the mountains with the absolute best service. We can’t stop talking about how lucky we are to experience this. The breakfast was phenomenal, the pool is to die for and Olga and the team are simply the best. Can’t wait to come back

The staff is friendly and accommodating! It’s a beautiful mountain! Like a home away from home

Its in a beautiful area overlooking whole valley including sparta. Restraunt was good, staff very friendly. Wifi was good for most of the trip, but did its moments where given numbet of ppl it would drop. Very quite at night, good trails for hiking too.

The resort is a real diamond of the Greek Tourism Industry! Located in the forest of Taygetos, offers great view to the Lakonian Lowlands & a great sense of tranquility. So much different from what we have mostly seen so far. The natural shadow from clusters of coniferous trees & firs, makes the sun friendly. The mountain breeze allows for lovely sleeping, “air-condition free”. Wood, stone & green woods, form the trademark of the resort, all very well-combined in its architecture. The swimming pool under the trees, makes swimming & sunbathing a ritual. All buildings’ style, fully harmonized with the scenery, emphasizes the beauty of the surroundings. The rooms are spacious, minimally decorated & still very chic. Every detail in the room – even the cupboards’ knobs – is tastefully selected, fitting perfectly with the landscape. All indoor & outdoor areas are clean & tidy. The food is excellent, cooked with taste. But the greatest asset of this resort is the people working there. All the personnel vitalizes the magnificence of the place, making it so different & cozy. Without exception, everybody was particularly polite & professional, dedicated to make every guest feel comfortable & relaxed. Always smiling, even after long working hours, demonstrating that they love to offer rather than being obliged to do so- a rare merit elsewhere-. Ilaeira’s people make the place different &mythical. After all, it might be the place that Castor brought Ilaeira, so that she would never leave

We LOVED this resort. Everything g about this place was great. The people, property and setting of the resort. If you are staying in the area and don’t mind the drive up the mountain you will love your stay.

If you are looking for a mountain resort to hike, enjoy nature, or just relax around the pool you would be hard pressed to find a better place with nicer staff. This hotel has set the bar high when it comes to cleanliness and the welcoming and friendly nature of the staff. This is a great place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city

Was beautiful, girl who checked me in extremely friendly and helpful, set me on a great afternoon hike. Unfortunately dinner was a letdown both service and selection/quality

The hotel is perched high on a mountain. It takes 15 minutes of very slow driving from the village st the bottom up the narrow winding roads with many hairpin turns. However the view from the balcony makes you want to stay on and on. Stephanie and Maria were very kind and hospitable. Breakfast was sumptuous even though it is the low season. They make us feel special. It is a perfect place to stay when planning a visit to Mystras, Monemvassia, and the lovely little towns in Mani.

The property has a very calming and serene atmosphere! The staff was especially accommodating and I felt right at home.

Views were amazing. Breakfast selection was wonderful. Couldn't have asked for better staff. We enjoyed our stay at Ilaeira Mountain Resort very much.

We loved our 3 night stay at the Ilaeira Mountain Resort. The staff is very welcoming. The rooms are very comfortable, breakfast was excellent, the pool, bar and restaurant were also excellent. Prepare for a windy trip up the mountain, smaller cars will do best on the switchback roads. The location is not far off of the road from Gytheio to Sparta. We will definitely return.

We stayed their for two nights and was paradise!!! The room was big and well designed. The pool are was great.

best place to stay

Super ..

Great place with a great location. Would happily return

We stayed at the resort only one night over the Summer and wish we had stayed longer. Just make sure you have a good map or a working GPS, this place is a hidden gem, at the top of the mountain with breathtaking views over Sparta and the entire valley. Warm welcome from the very friendly staff, everyone was charming and made sure we were comfortable. The kids loved the pool and we enjoyed our private villa, it has all you need. There is even a restaurant that serves delicious local food. Breakfast is a feast. Would highly recommend this place to anyone. Also, we had forgotten our iphone plug in the room and the staff very kindly expedited its shipping to our next location in Greece, we are very grateful.

Location is breathtaking. Staff were very friendly. Breakfast great choice and tasty. Pool was too crowded on Sunday I think a lot of non guests were using the facility but next day was very quiet. Bed was not the most comfortable.

This place is amazing. So glad we decided to head up into the mountains outside of Sparta. The resort was lovely. Our bungalow was beautiful and spacious for our family of four. The kids loved the pool and the restaurant was great. Service was top notch. We went for a small hike on the nearby trail and was rewarded with incredible views. Wish we had a second night to stay.

Uphill drive for miles: if I'd known it was going to be that vertical, that bendy, that stony, I probably wouldn't have booked. But I'm glad I didn't know, because the accommodation, facilities, views, welcome at the end of it were worth it! For the "junior suite" we paid less than we'd paid for our nice hotel in Athens.

Amazing and beautiful place. Unbelievable view of the mountains and valley, complete with morning sounds of sheep. A short drive to town, so if you want to be in the center of things, walk to restaurants, not for you. If you want peace and beauty, this is it.

A nice quiet hotel for families or couples with variety of handmade breakfast, great facilities (except Gym which need restoration) and kind staff

Ilaeira is a true gem boutique mountain resort. Pleasant people, wonderful location (be prepared for some mountain road driving for a few kilometers), excellent food and service. The rooms are exceptionally good maintained and spacious.

We only had time to stay one night but thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We stayed there on our way back from SE Greece before visiting Mystras the following day. The hotel room was really nice, with a small kitchenette included. We were able to sit out on our balcony overlooking the valley to the east. Even the drive was not too bad; it helped that we got directions from the staff before driving there.

The view is breathtaking, the staff is very caring. The rooms are very nice. The pool with the bar and sight is fantasticOnly downside, half of the dishes listed on the menu were not available.

We chose this hotel to relax after an intense day touring Mystra. We were an extended family party of eight. Plusses are getting there, going up the Taygetos mountain road, and then taking the mountain road the other way in direction of Kalamata. About the hotel... the rooms. This hotel is lovely-- for honeymooners. We had dinner at the hotel -- comfort food. Big servings of goat, and excellent moussaka. House red wine was lacking, we could have ordered from the carte. The staff at the hotel is very caring and helpful, they run an outstanding operation. It is a privilege. Each room is totally different. Unfortunately we only stayed there one night. Would recommend to stay at least two nights. Next day in Sparta we toured the Olive Museum. Highly recommended.

I loved everything about this hotel, it was on top of a beautiful mountain so there was 24/7 beautiful sights. The hotel staff was extremely friendly and always willing to help us with transportation or any other questions that we had. The rooms were incredible, very comfortable and beautiful. The only problem we had was how far away the hotel was from everything, once again its on top of a mountain but the staff was so quick to help us friend affordable personal transportation. I would highly recommend staying at this mountain resort, its a beautiful place.

This is a brilliant hotel for a quiet mountain holiday. The cottages are very well equipped and comfortable, the views fantastic. The only gripe we had was that there was a party going on with very loud music until the early hours. We dined at the restaurant and most dishes were not available as the staff were serving the party guests.

Our stay was great would definitely go back!

Loved our stay here. We will be returning for a longer stay.

This hotel deserves all the stars available. The hotel is wonderfully decorated, the rooms are the most comfortable we had in our vacation and the people could not be more helpful! I will be back there as fast as I am back to Greece and I will bring my family with me

The best

Setting is incredible- best view and stunning mountain scenery. Service was charming and impeccable, food delicious, pool was perfect. Amazingly good value and a real luxury break.

My wife and I had a wonderful stay at the Mountain Resort. We wanted a scenic and romantic holiday and that's exactly what the Resort provided. This is the place to stay in/around Sparta. It is close enough to Sparta for convenient access via a 20 minute drive but secluded enough to feel like you're in your own world without the sounds of the city. We primarily used the Resort as a place to relax and as a starting point for our hike up to the top of Profitas Ilias, the highest peak on the Taygetos and in all of the Peloponnese. The climb isn't very technical so I would highly recommend this excursion. It would take the average hiker about 6 hours round-trip from the hotel to the top and back. It was extraordinarily beautiful. The hotel itself is wonderful, the family-oriented service by this family-run resort is so nice and so helpful. If you are traveling to Sparta, you must make stay here. I am a history buff and an aspiring Spartan and this resort really provided the experience that I was hoping for.
