We stayed at Xenia as part of our wedding at the end of July 2011. We had lots of friends and family members staying at the same hotel as well.
I have to give them top scores on almost all categories.....
Fist of all location is excellent. Very close to Volos and in the midst of Pelion is a good starting point to explore the nearby area. It also offers a magnificent view of Volos, especially at night.
The staff was ever so friendly and they cattered for our baby boy needs so well that we actually got to relax after a long long time.
We got to stay in one of the junior suites which was very well decorated and spacious. It also had its own little terrace and deck-chairs which made it very convenient. The other rooms, like the standard room was also very well proportioned and with good funishings. The hotrel had undergone a major if not total refurbishment a few years back.
The food at the Veranda cafe- restaurant was excellent. The pool bar could offer club sandwitches etc which were very tasty. The pool is a bit shallow for my taste (1.60m I think max depth) but very spacious and lined with deck-chairs and tables.
There is aslo a spa which is a good addition to the hotel.The girls there were friendly and could give you a very good head to toe massage

In a few worlds both us and our guests had a lovely time and thus we highly recommend the hotel. We will be back for sure!!!!

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.
