The view was amazing

“Great views, comfortable stay, super nice hosts.”

Calm and ideal for a retreat.

“We where a bit sad to leave!”

You live on the absolut topp and the view was breathtaking. The place was very clean and warm and it was quiet cold outside! The host couple was just the nicest!

“We were amazed!”

The hosts were very kind people. The balcony and views were incredible. The dogs and horses were very friendly too!

Xantha is great for two reasons: the stunning view of the Pagasetic Gulf, the mountains and Volos; and the really wonderful lady who is now running the place (and who also speaks very good English). One should take into account that the road up is steep, narrow and at some places winding, not an easy one, and it's best to have a good engine, but it's well worth it for the view from your little balcony and the friendliness and generosity of the hostess: who not only invited me to eat as many of the ripe figs from the trees as I possibly could, but even paid my bill with the dinner delivery man (you can order food up) since I was in the shower!... As well as your own balcony, there's also a verandah off the drawing room with its own view of the Gulf, and the outside patio sitting area is especially nice. There's an open bar in the main drawing room of the hotel where you can make yourself herb tea from a varied selection, or of course coffee. So unless you would find the drive up difficult, Xantha is very highly recommended!

“Absolutely perfect!”

Extremely kind and warm people , very helpful that make you feel like home and welcomed to the place. The rooms and generally all of the House are beautifully decorated , cozy , extremely clean. Definitely one of the prettiest rooms i have ever stayed in. From the Archontiko , you have the best view and you can see all of Volos , the sea and the land around it. 10/10 , definitely will visit again!!

Been there for a 3rd time and we will come back again for sure. Owners are super nice, friendly and kind. Place is nice, clean and cozy. You see the whole bay of Volos from that place

A wonderful place with a magnificent view of the mountains, the sea and Volos. The hotel is located in the highest part of Makrinitsa. Right in front of it begins the eco-path from which you can go down to the center of the village, but in places it is quite steep and returning on foot would be it was quite difficult. So definitely the only way to get around is by car. But otherwise the hotel is very charming with a nice atmosphere of the bygone era. Our double room was comfortable and very clean. We had a lovely little balcony with a view of the whole gulf of Volos. The owner Akis is very kind and responsive. Great place.

“Highly recommended guest house. The hosts were so warm and friendly and they helped us a lot. The view was amazing.”

Amazing view, cozy rooms and exceptional service.

Great spot with an outstanding view of the village as well as of the city of Volos and of the gulf in front of it. Very cozy place, giving every feeling a traditional village should give. Very quiet and the guys in the reception always polite and helpful.

friendly guests , place offers a variety of delivery food as well as warm and fresh Greek pitas in the morning from the bakery if you wish , clean and beautiful view excellent

great spot. very friendly staff

“Unique location, welcoming hosts, breathtaking views!”

incredible views! peaceful location. Our hosts were very welcoming and accommodating. We didn’t have a car during our stay and Agis was very kind to drop us/pick us up from the village for a couple of days as we were travelling with two small children. As other reviews have stated, the road is very steep up to the guesthouse, not too much of an issue for adults who are used to walking, but harder if you have small kids. The guesthouse was very clean and lots of thought has gone into the decoration. The communal area where you could make tea/coffee was great, and an added bonus for us we had it to ourselves during our stay. We were very happy to here for a few nights in a family room.

Amazing views, very friendly and cool hosts. The room was superclean.
