Ligkiades Villen

We visited the picturesque village of Lingiades on our return trip from vacation. As the distance to our home was very long, I had decided to visit this village, for which I had many informations for his excellent view and rest there for a night. I havem;t booked a room,as the city of Ioannina is very near, If there was not an availability in Lingiades. When I entered the village tired of the long journey (from the island Zakynthos) and under heavy rain the first building I passed was this hotel. So when anout availability and price, the gentle lady offered me a room in a price (100€) higher than I would spend for a night, but the hotel was a very beautiful boutique hotel and i was really tired to look for an other hotel. In the end the hotel was totally worth the cost I paid. The room was dreamy, had an air of 19th century, while the rest areas of the hotel had a modern, but very pleasant architecture. And the view from the room was magnifiscent. The lake, the small island with the village and in the fond the city of Ioannina. And although we could see everything, there was no sound of the city activities. The lady in the reception had warned us that the breakfast was extraordinary. And indeed it was. It wasn’t a buffet breakfast. The ladies of the kitchen entered several times with special dishes. Savory, sweets, pies, jams, eggs in different versions (fried, boiled, omelettes, scrambled), cakes, biscuits, pancaces, fruits, etc,etc, It is not possible to describe the whole menu. But finally we asked them kindly to stop,as we could not consume more. And everything we had tasted bas delicious. I would like to stay at least for a day more, but unfortunately my wife had to work next day. I promised myself to stay there for 3-4 days another time. Unfortunatley in October, when I wanted to book for a night again on return trip (from Peloponess that time), the hotel was fully booked ! The village has at least 2 restaurants, one of them, ”Kukuwagia” (where we ate) is very famous in Ioannina region.
