Great location, beautiful views, very nicely renovated old house turned into a hotel, decent breakfast. A little steep to drive but expected as it's a mountain village.

The kitchen and living space were great. The bathroom had some water leak from the shower but not a big problem. The entire wall facing downhill to Volos and the ocean bay was glass windows. Wonderful view and very walkable to the town. Nice visit with the owner
While Makrinitsa in Pelion remains as enchanting as ever,...
While Makrinitsa in Pelion remains as enchanting as ever, it's crucial to highlight the aftermath of the 2023 flood, which has left the roads from Volos to the village in disrepair. Navigating these roads, particularly at night, can be perilous, warranting caution and attention from travelers, especially those with cars. Despite this challenge, Makrinitsa's beauty perseveres, offering a worthwhile destination for those willing to plan their journey with care.

Amazing place, Makrinitsa is the jewel in the Pelion...
Amazing place, Makrinitsa is the jewel in the Pelion mountain. It's only 12 or so kilometers from Volos and is easily accessible by car. However, keep in mind that the village is a strictly pedestrian area, so finding a parking spot in the parking at the village entrance could be a challenge. Get there early to beat the crowds and maybe you'll get lucky.
There are a number of very good traditional Greek tavernas that you absolutely need to visit, many souvenir shops you can spend a few euros at, and a wonderful cafe with the best portokalopita and karidopita you can find.
And last but certainly not least, Makrinitsa and the mountain Pelion offer many hiking treks you can follow.

Beautiful place but a bit "commercial"!
Beautiful place but a bit "commercial"! It depends on the style of holiday that you want to have. In case you want to have the trail in your holiday maybe you have to consider also visiting the other side of Pelion. Makrinitsa is close also to Volos in case you want to have a drink or taste local food. Overall a beautiful place to have a short trip!

Excellent views from almost every point in the village.
Excellent views from almost every point in the village. Tons of character, with the cobble paths and the traditional houses. Just a note, getting around the upper part of the village is a proper hike. Everything you need (restaurants, shops etc) are on the lower part though so no worries :)
Makrinitsa Village is a perfect 10 out of 10! The family running this hotel is absolutely amazing. Voula is incredibly friendly and accommodating; it's always easy to communicate with her. The room is spacious with breathtaking views. The owner provides firewood for the fireplace, allowing guests to enjoy cozy evenings by the fire. The entire house is stylishly decorated with a design that truly captivates the heart. Everything was superb, and I will always fondly remember our stay at this wonderful hotel.
What a Fantastic traditional mansion so very well preserved over time. Located at the top of Makrinitsa village we had stunning views while spending time & having our breakfast on the great open porch was a great start of our daily excursions around Pelion.
Mr. George was a great host very friendly and eager to give advise on places to see and things to do around the area. we will definitely go back and probably even during summer.
Pelion is extravagantly beautiful in fall, nothing short of breathtaking, and Archontiko Melanthi is the perfect spot to enjoy it : you are simply drawn into that "old world" charm, Greek style...
Kiki, the owner was very kind, helpful and pleasant to have a conversation with & went out of her way to make our stay enjoyable.
Room was comfy, Breakfast was delicious and hearty. It was a great experience
An outstanding place to stay in an extraordinarily beautiful village. Makrinitsa is a lovely place to enjoy in its own right but also provides an excellent base to explore Pelion more broadly. We loved our stay at Archontiko Melanthi, breakfasts were great and another highlight was the friendly staff so capably lead by Kiki. Views from our room over the peninsula and Volos were spectacular.
Amazing apartment, located up the valley on the way to Makrinitsa village with breathtaking views. The apartment is beautiful, in great condition (feels like "new"), highly clean and very comfortable and convenient for a family. The owner hospatility is one of the nicest we have ever encountered... Will definitely come back, and already waiting for the next time.
The staff was very helpful (even if they werent at the location), they contacted me ahead to let me know the roads were bad and guided me to a parking space. The manager even assisted me with having food delivered at the hotel. The hotel is traditional and has pittoresque views. It is very high. The staff and the view are the 2 things we most appreciated there.
Very pleasant stay in the start of mountain. Traditional house yet fully equipped for us to have a pleasant stay. Super friendly (and well prepared) hosts. Enough space for 5 people to stay comfortably for 3 nights. Probably will try to stay in the same accommodation again next time I visit Makrinitsa.
Amazing place in amazing village. Romantic trip in the past, fantastic view, uniqie home-like atmosphere, with attention to every single detail. The breakfast was an uniqie experience - a cosy terrace and home-made food and personal attention to every guest by the hotel manager. Just amazing!
The house is big and cosy and can easily accommodate 6-10 people. We liked sitting around the fireplace and there is an incredible view. It was very clean and warm and whatever we needed we could call John to assist. Makrinitsa is a beautiful village and is quite close on foot.
This hotel is a hidden gem. The location is goegeous, the rooms are splendid and original, the views are terrific, the personal nice and helpful, the owner is charming, and goes the extra mile to make your stay special and her breakfast are wonderful. Highly recommended!
Our hosts were very nice, and the breakfast was really good. The guesthouse is perfectly located, and allows us to enjoy the beauty of Makrinitsa. It is exactly what you look for when you want a quiet and comfortable place to stay in the mountains!
Beautiful terrace where you can enjoy very nice, homemade breakfast along with amazing view. Location is great, convenient parking in front of the hotel. Owners are very kind family. For sure I'll recommend!
