Home away from home
Our only disappointment was that we only had 1 night at this lovely home. It was the perfect place for a visit to Delphi. The owner is incredibly hospitable and kind. She made us feel very welcome to her village and shared lovely details about her property. She ensured we were comfortable and had any amenities needed. She made suggestions for dinner and the day’s activities. The house itself is super comfortable and each of the beds allowed us to sleep very soundly. There was enough space for all 4 adult sized members of our family to spread out and have our own space. The following morning, our host graciously brought us fresh baked orange bread and feta filled rolls with orange juice. The owner was prompt with her communication. In all our previous travels, this owner was easily one of the best (if not the best) with communication, and offering a wonderful home away from your own home. We hope to visit again.

Charm, Comfort, and True Hospitality
We arrived in Arachova after an overnight trip from the States tired, but excited for our adventure. Despite unusual rain, we drove through the windy streets and were blown away by the cute little town. Upon arrival to Guest House Simou, Vasso greeted us with a smile and helped us get settled. The property was beyond charming - far exceeded our expectations. Each room had touches of character and charm. We had more than enough room as a family of four. The property was clean and well maintained. There is an amazing terrace that overlooks the rooftops - again the pictures do not capture the view which is amazing.It was a perfect location as well. We were able to easily walk to all the shops and restaurants, which we did just after settling in. It was a perfect starting point to visit Delphi (15 mins so you can beat the rush of tour buses). Vasso was truly a special hostess. Her communications were always speedy and kind. She offered great suggestions for walking around town. In the morning she delighted us with home baked orange bread and these delightful feta cheese pastries. She has also stocked our fridge with some basics and lunch treat. We could not have felt more welcome and taken care of! This was our first stop on our Greek adventure, and we fell in love with the country immediately. If you find yourself lucky enough to stay at Guest House Simou you will not be disappointed. Truly a magical little gem in an adorable little village. Thank you Vasso!

The best ever!
A lovely location, great view, super clean and very nicely setup. The owners are fantastic and so helpful and welcoming ( that orange cake was amazing and the cheese pastries were very tasty) - definitely super-hosts. My daughter and I really enjoyed our stay and we both gave it a 5 stars rating. Would absolutely come back.

Our stay at Arachova
We stayed at Arachova to see Delphi without being rushed. Vasso is incredibly hospitable. On our first morning, in addition to breakfast pastries, Vasso brought over a homemade orange cake. On our second morning, Vasso brought over a homemade spanakopita. We were eating Vasso's homemade food for the remainder of our trip in Greece. Vasso's recommendations on restaurants in Arachova were great.

Excellent stay, beautiful town!
We really enjoyed our stay. Vasso generously provided us with snacks and breakfast. She was very accommodating and helpful. I even forgot a small bag after we left and she drove to Delphi to deliver my bag! The town of Arachova was beautiful - we wish we had booked a longer state here!

Excellent location, superb host, lovely home, great parking spot. The home is a true home, not just accommodation. Everything was as described or better and the host Vasso went out of her way to ensure we were happy and had everything we needed. Her breakfasts were lovely and she even made a wonderful cake for my husband’s birthday which was the day we arrived. The location is perfect to explore Delphi which is a mere 15 minutes away. There is a well stocked supermarket very near by. The most wonderful part was a huge private deck with numerous seating areas in which to soak up the views and the sun. Cannot recommend this home strongly enough..ranked out of 5 it is easily an 8!

Wonderful Traditional Greek Experience
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The house is charming with original terrazzo floors in the main hallway, charming traditional Greek furnishings, and a private patio overlooking the village. The warm and welcoming host is absolutely wonderful! And her homemade delicious traditional pastries and orange pound cake were fabulous.

Lovely traditional Greek home!
Vasso was the best host with fruit, drinks and lemon bread waiting for us, and prepared fresh bread and feta pastries each morning, as well as traditional Greek coffee for our departure. She was very helpful in all regards. The house is very nice in a great location. We walked all around the mountain town of Arachova and did day trips to Delphi and Meteora from there. Can’t wait to return again someday!

Comfortable House/Great Location
We’re a family of four from the United States. We thoroughly enjoyed this comfortable house, and were thrilled with the daily fresh bread/pastries and oranges! The property was a great location for us to enjoy skiing at Mount Parnassus and touring the archaeological site at Delphi.

Beautiful guest house in the mountains
Amazing location close to Delphi and you can easily walk to the best restaurants in town. Wonderful host. Very kind and friendly and made an orange cake and brought us fresh bread for breakfast. Would not hesitate to recommend. Please realize this location is in a village on the side of the mountain so it has steep and narrow streets. Take the hosts advice and do not try to follow google maps. She greeted us at the location and helped us navigate to parking right outside the door. Thank you Vasso for a wonderful stay.

As we planned our visit to the ancient shrine at Delphi, we quickly recognized that Anachova is a better alternative for the stay. A small town on the slopes of Mount Parnassas is filled both with long time residents and cosmopolitan people who first came for the skiing, but then stayed year round. The town has lots of places to eat and shop. Guest House Simou is the house of the owner’s grandfather. The owner lives on the lower floor with the guest house on the top floor above. The house feels fresh and cozy with old eclectic furniture suited to couples and families. At the front of the house is a rooftop terrace with views across the neighbor’s rooftops to the mountains beyond. At night it is a great place for stargazing. I can’t remember the last time I could make out the Milky Way, but the stars were all out for our visit. Our hosts were attentive and accommodating. When we arrived, there was a fresh lemon cake for us on the kitchen table, and a half watermelon in the refrigerator. Each morning the owner brought us a fresh baked loaf of bread and hung it on the door of the guest house. A highlight was Kaplanis, a restaurant recommended by our host. She told us to follow the road to the top of the hill and follow it until we found a big tree with tables to the left. The outdoor neighborhood restaurant overlooks the valley leading down to the sea. As the sun set, we enjoyed stuffed wine leaves, followed by simply grilled lamb chops.

Thus place is beautiful.
This home is so sweet and homey. The owner lives downstairs and went out of her way to make us feel at home. She recommended a restaurant within walking distance from the house that was amazing. I wish we could have had more time to explore the town. Arachova looks lo like something out of a storybook.

Beautiful,peaceful, retreat!
The experience of enjoying this unique home- with a stunning veranda to sun or relax is something you will always remember! Nestled amount the cobblestone streets and stairs of Arachova you can explore this unique village carved into the mountain! Delphi is only 15 minutes. And though Apollo's sanctuary, theater, stadium are special in history this home will be special in your heart. I suggest at least a 3 night stay to enjoy the veranda, town , recommended restaurants, and Vasso's kind hospitality. When we arrived at our next place we wished we were back at our home away from home in Arachova.

Special property in a great location
This is a really special property in a delightful area of Arachova. The large balcony gives great views across town and to the mountains surrounding it. This leads to a well designed and beautifully furnished apartment. Each of the two bedrooms have large comfortable double beds and they are conveniently separated so as not to disturb each other. There is a formal living room leading to a stylish dining area. The kitchen and bathroom are both modern and well equipped. It was a delight that everything was available and moreover worked. There were extra special things provided like fresh bread daily and homemade cakes and pastries.

Idéal pour visiter le site de Delphes
Grand appartement confortable et bien équipé dans la petite ville d'Arachova, à quelques kilomètres du site archéologique de Delphes (parking sur place). L'accueil est chaleureux, l'hôtesse et son mari sont sympathiques et bienveillants (ils nous ont bien aidé le matin où la voiture a refusé de démarrer...). Vivement recommandé !

A beautifully situated apartment on the slopes of Mt Parnassos in Arachova.
We were only here for two days. After visiting Athens it was nice to be in a somewhat cooler place in the mountains. The apartment looks very nice with ana authentic Greek atmosphere and has a beautiful private terrace with plenty of shadow. Driving to the parking place upon a steep road is a small adventure in itself. A great place for visiting Delphi, the beaches in Itea and a hike on Mt Parnassos during the summer. Mrs Vasso is very hospitable, offering home baked cake and sandwiches upon arrival and fresh bread every morning. The family has its own wine label and produces olive oil, which can be purchased at reasonable prices.
