Ilaeira Mountain Resort Toriza

Review by hotel critic

I recently returned from a rejuvenating escape at Ilaeira, nestled high in the Taygetos mountains. The hotel’s tranquil environment instantly enveloped me, making it a perfect retreat. I particularly appreciated the swimming pool, where mountain spring water flows directly in—an experience that felt refreshing amid stunning views of the Laconian valley and Saint Kiriaki peak. My days began with breakfast on a furnished balcony, soaking in the serene atmosphere. While the breakfast offered various options and was satisfactory, it was the spacious rooms that truly caught my attention, always clean and comfortable. Spa services were available too, with massage therapy providing a pleasant way to unwind, alongside a well-equipped fitness suite for those feeling active. It’s worth noting that while the staff were generally attentive, there were fleeting moments when service felt a bit off-beat. Nevertheless, Ilaeira seems to cater well to both families and small groups looking for a peaceful getaway. If relaxation is on your agenda, this place is worth considering.
