I fall in love with the view from the very first sight. One of the best locations in the area, equally close to both Portaria and Makrinitsa villages. Tasty breakfast with the variety of choices. Convenient parking. Cozy rooms. In-house playing room with billiards, table tennis, mini football, and playground for kids. But the most important - super hospitable people here, the owner and the ladies. Love my experience of living here. Amazing memories. Thank you! 🫶

A great hotel with an outstanding location between Portagia and Makrinitsa. We were impressed by the warm family and their team. The hotel is recommended for families, as there is a very large and cozy lobby, as well as a great "playroom". So you can also relax there without always having to be in your room or on the move.
