There was nothing I didn't like - but this is not for you if you want a lively place. The guesthouse is in a tiny village in the midst of the forests - perfect for a bit of "nature bathing"!

This is a wonderful place to stay to enjoy the peace and quiet of the wonderful forests of the Rhodope region. The hosts , Georgos and Varvara ,are exceptionally kind and hospitable, and provided us with maps and useful information for exploring the region. The breakfasts were excellent with a variety of local products - honey, nuts and dried fruit, fresh eggs, yoghurt and pies. Georgos even gave us leftover pies to take up into the mountains. Although the restaurant was temporarily closed because of health issues, we were offered light suppers and drinks, which were ample following our lunches in local taverns! The guesthouse was spotlessly clean and the grounds well maintained. The decor is in keeping with the traditional style of the house with some beautiful carved chestnut furniture and fittings - again products of the area. I am looking forward to visiting again in the Autumn when the trees will be spectacular!

High in the hills of Drama, Greece, the Petrini Gonia Hotel offers a serene escape. While a scenic drive is required to reach its elevated location, the journey is well worth it. During our two-night stay with my family on August 18th and 19th, we were captivated by the stunning morning views of the surrounding mountains, often shrouded in beautiful summer fog. The warm hospitality of the owners made our visit even more special, highlighted by excellent breakfasts with a wide variety of delicious options. Every moment of our stay was truly exceptional, from the breathtaking scenery to the wonderful food.

We had a wonderful tranquil stay at Petrini Gonia. Everything was perfect. Our hosts were so kind and generous, offering to cook simple but delicious dinners for us as the village café/restaurant had closed for the season and the nearest taverna was some distance away. The location is beautiful with the forest at this time of year a glorious golden vista.

Beautiful building, very well kept. The room was spacious with a nice little balcony overlooking the lush mountain across. Breakfast was not sumptuous but certainly well prepared and adequate. The food at the restaurant is classic, high quality taverna food. We loved it The owners, Ms Barbara and Mr. Yorgos are very kind and hospitable people. They are doing a great job!!

The hotel is located on an ideal location. You can feel and taste the nature around, the Greek hospitality by Mrs Barbara and the unique environment. Rooms are extremely clean and very well decorated with the Greek village style. Breakfast with fresh products from the area. The hotel is located close to city of Drama but again close to the Nestos river or the famous forest of Elatia. Many attractions , waterfalls and trails makes the place Unique. Highly recommended for those they want to relax and connect with nature.

Owners speak hardly any English but use of Google translate meant we had many conversations! So not a problem.

Wonderful authentic Greek welcome from very friendly hosts. Beautiful building and location. Great base to explore the Rhodopis. Absolute fantastic food cooked to perfection. Great value for money. Highly recommended.

There was no air conditioning in the room. Next time say this in advance - this is a winter place, not a summer place!

The location.

Stayed in July 2023

We stayed here on the journey back from Greece to Bulgaria. I suppose because the price was so high (£83) for a rural BnB, I had equally high expectations. I was a bit disappointed by there being only one chair on the balcony. why? (there were two of us) and horrible Nescafé for coffee for breakfast (other than Greek, which of course is fine!) The otherwise good breakfast was served on the reception counter and felt uncomfortable/awkward. Minor disappointments, agreed. I wish them well.

I appreciate this is a small family run guest house in the middle of the countryside. The small room was exceptionally clean and nicely decorated. The food in the taverna was good, served by the charming host. The view from the balcony was lovely.
