A village pool retreat for summer and family stays
Forest Suites makes a persuasive case for staying in Megalo Chorio rather than commuting back to Karpenisi each night. The hotel is woven into one of Evrytania’s most appealing villages, with tavernas, cafés and the folklore museum within a minute or two on foot and mountain views opening beyond the rooftops. Rooms range from doubles to junior, deluxe, family and honeymoon suites; several include fireplaces and sitting areas, and the family layouts make longer stays more comfortable than a basic hotel room. In summer, the garden’s outdoor pool and loungers are a genuine advantage after a walk, while breakfast is included and served in the hotel. Free parking, pet-friendly policies and a calm, personal scale broaden its appeal beyond couples on a romantic weekend.
Megalo Chorio is roughly 20 minutes by car from Karpenisi and considerably farther from Velouchi ski centre, so Forest Suites suits a village-focused itinerary better than frequent trips into town. The pool is seasonal and outdoor, not a winter wellness facility, and there is no full spa. Expedia lists a restaurant among the amenities, but the dependable dining advantage is the village’s nearby tavernas rather than a full hotel dinner programme. Parking exists but can still become awkward in the village’s tight layout; ask for arrival instructions before following navigation into the narrowest streets. Room styles and sizes vary substantially, and only named categories include a fireplace. Expedia rates Forest Suites 10.0 from 13 reviews, the leading useful score for a Karpenisi-area village hotel with a pool and family suites.
