"Tucked away in the Pindus mountains in northern Greece, Saxonis Houses is my favorite hotel in the entire country. I first chose it because of its affordable price, but was shocked to find a beautiful collection of stone houses covered in crawling ivy. My large room had vaulted wooden ceilings, a fireplace, and an insanely comfortable bed. I fell asleep to the stars and awoke to the mountains turning purple in the morning light. Kindly owner Vasilis Nasiakos doubles as a guide, taking guests on hikes through the valleys of the Pindus. I’ve returned several times, and with each visit I feel more and more at home. Doubles from $90." - Travel + Leisure Editors
