Despotiko is a charming quiet and luxurious traditional if you choose the old premises ultra modern if you choose the new ones. We stayed in the modern despotiko.Service is polite, rooms are luxuriously decorated the view from the window just magnificent. It is the moment when you fall for the winter face of Greece and Despotiko heartily welcomes you More

Modern design with great furniture. Very good quality of breakfast, although with not much variety. Much satisfied with the hotel staff, very helpful and polite. The only drawback was that the rooms were a bit small. The hotel has two buildings, the historic and traditional one and the other which is completely new. We stayed in the new section and... More

Stayed at Despotiko for five days. We loved the area, the smell of the fireplaces all over the village, the narrow traditional road (not so good for driving it -two cars don't fit, but perfect for walking it...). Our room was nice & clean, the bed very comfortable, the hair-dryer was not working but the manager took care of that... More
