It is one of the best hotels in pilion, very good service, atmosphere and the breakfast is super!

The Hotel is too expensive without any reason, maybe because all the hotels in this area is expensive !
I didn't understand why, but everything except the view and the personnel is average. Even pillow was bad (I couldn't sleep, although I haven't any peculiarity in my sleep) !

If you want to go there for a relaxing weekend or holiday don't hesitate. The staff is very friendly, the rooms are spacious and clean and La Veranda restaurant is great.
In short, we would like to go back there and definitely we will recommend this hotel.

This will be a long review, that I will really enjoy...! We checked everything in (spa, restaurant) and they totally earned us, so:

The Hotel is located in a quiet area and spacious area, as reach Portaria. The architecture is classic Pelion style, with marbles and stones. Free and easy parking area (well litten in the night, big trees around and nice entrance to the reception. It has two kind of rooms: Standart (facing the mountain and the village) and deluxe (facing the pool and the gulf and the city of Volos). The decoration is the same in both categories, so the standart room remains a very good choice, if you dont want to pent some extra 40 Euros per night for the sea view...

Room: Spacious, with corridor, excellent bathroom with facilities (shampoo, shower gel, etc). Exceptional clean, with painting inside. There are two chairs (rustic style) and desk, big led TV, very comfortable king bed and nice lighting. Excellent heavy curtains, to stop the sun enter in at the morning. Balcony in every room, with table and chairs to enjoy the views and your cigarettes!

Breakfast: Excellent, very rich, many breads, cookies, croissants, yogurts, fruit salads, cereals, honey, local sweets, eggs, cheece and sausages and a few types of ham-salami. Everything you can imagine or desire. Free coffee of any type from the bar. Nice terrace to enjoy it, overlooking the pool and further the sea!

Spa area: Big jacuzzi to relax, hamam, sauna, and great aromatherapy massage! Very well decorated, relaxing place. Not big, but enjoyable.

Restaurant (La veranda): Excellent position, above the rock, offering excellent views of the city of Volos and the Pagassitikos gulf, especially when is getting dark. Nice relaxing atmosphere, luxurious, outdoors seating but also great winter area. The food is very good to exceptional. We had for dishes and two glasses of wine and the bill was EUR 56, which is normal to cheap for the taste and quantity offered, as the portions were really generous... To pitty, we couldn't get their desserts as we felt very full...

Service: Excellent in all manners. Reception, bar, waiters and generally everyone was very polite and they did their best to help you feel comofrtable and enjoy a luxurious and friendly same time stay. The common areas are very big and spacious, with great sofas and chairs to stay and enjoy your coffee or a table game with friends... ro just relax and read a book!

Xenia became our favorite and we told to all our friend about it. We willdefinately re-visit it again in the winter to enjoy their hospitality... Don't miss, if you are in the area. It's a great value for money (and it's not very expensive). Visit the website to take a look of their true and close to the reality pictures and decide your booking with no fear!
