Elite Cottages

Despotiko

"For 4 stars enough satisfactory .... The rooms are too hot we completely shut down the heating at 17 degrees the lowest and did not turn on ... breakfast buffet perfect, but if you want to get another coffee other than French it was an extra charge while normally It is inside ... nice view but quite high as a location with a walk up 10' .... if it is by car it goes, but the aisle is very narrow and there is a ground floor parking in the hotel."

Valis Resort Hotel

"Not a five star hotel. Very worn furniture and the rooms seem to be untidy. It needs an immediate renovation. Not a value for money. I don’t recommend it. No heated indoor pool."

Palladio Hotel

"A nice, preserved set of 19th century traditional decoration in the countryside and in the rooms without excess.Delicious breakfast with fresh panther's cakes.Beautiful courtyard and a rooftop to enjoy a coffee and a bathtub.In our time, it is perfect. Value for money. I'll stay there again if I go back to the clay."

Manthos Mountain Resort & Spa

"A great experience underlined by beautiful surroundings, the warmth of the staff and the fresh products served at the restaurant. We loved the breakfast with fresh eggs and other fresh produce at the buffet. Dinner was great with simple yet, tasty and local products. Walking around the resort makes you "switch off" as the natural setting is out of this world. And if you love sports you will not be disappointed. An indoor basketball court is available to train. For those who love nature, renting suite 115 is second to none as you get to sleep with the window open and hear the sound of the water flowing by the neighboring river."

Portaria Hotel

"The hotel is located just 5-10 minutes walk above the lovely village of Portaria. From most of the rooms you have a splendid view over the bay and city of Volos which can be accessed only by car in about 30 minutes along a windy but scenic road. The hotel is divided into several houses with no central hallway. Therefore you have to walk along the parking site in front of the hotel in order to access the wellness area. Swimming pool and fitness room cost an extra charge of 15,- EUR per day and sauna another 10,- EUR per person on top. Therefore we never saw people using it and this seems to be intended. We had a spacious junior suite with our own fire place. But when we lit the fire, the whole room was full of smoke despite a closed glas fire door. It seemed that others had the same problem since the room smelled already smoky on the day of our arrival. The personnel at the reception seems not be prepared for foreigners even though they spoke English quite reasonably. Different people were not very helpful and we always had the impression that they were glad when we did not bother them with questions. One highlight was the breakfast with a wide variety of fruit, bread, cake, cereals, cheese, omelette, sausages, fresh pressed orange juice, mountain tea etc."

Xenia Palace Portaria

"Very good looking room, very clean, great staff, and a very cozy Christmas environment; what else could you ask for around December? The lobby is a place to have a seat and enjoy a book or in case you have to work, take your laptop/tablet and be productive. They also have a great breakfast!"

Tasia Mountain Hotel

"The hotel was centrally located for visiting both the east and west coasts of the northern area of the Pelion peninsula, (an area known for its winding roads which take a long time to get around). It was also spotlessly clean & comfortable and the breakfast superb. However, what makes this hotel really special is the warm, family atmosphere created by Anastasia who does everything she can to make your stay extra special. We would give her 15 out of 10 if we could! There is nothing to dislike but customers should be aware that out of season, there are no restaurants in the immediate vicinity and we therefore profited from Anastasia's snack menu each evening."

Palladio Hotel - Portaria

"The room was awful when you entered the room.Of the five rooms only in one had towels, so we could get us to the rest of their rooms we asked for it three times and they finally brought them in the evening. The worst was that they did not turn on the heating, and in the rooms the temperature barely reached 18 degrees (then they closed the heating and fell to 16). Every 2-3 hours we had the time to look for the person responsible to do something with the burner that didn't work (even at 4 o'clock we were looking to turn on the heating so we wouldn't freeze). You understand that in a mountain destination and indeed in winter this is a big problem; the score with 1 star is done because there is no 0 (or even less)."
