Location was stunning, and the hospitality was warm & generous. An incredible place! Would highly recommend.

Joshua India

A family run hotel with exceptional service. Ms Kiki and her family went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make our stay enjoyable. She arranged a taxi tour of the region, fed us, arranged for laundry, and was so friendly. This place is one of the best hotels i've stayed in. Can't wait to return.

Lisa United States of America

Beautiful architecture, functional rooms, and incredible views. Kyria Kiki and Eleni, made our stay special. we look forward to coming back.

Georgia United States of America

In the middle of the village. View from the bedroom was all the way to Volos and beyond. Kiki, the owner, was most helpful. Her husband showed us where to park and helped with our luggage. As well as showing us the best places to go and visit Kiki booked us into a restaurant each night and both were very good. Breakfast was a buffet, served due to Covid, but had lots to offer both hot and cold. The village is traffic free with parking available just outside the entrance to the village, so be warned! You need to have decent shoes and travel light. We would certainly stay again.

Location: next to the beautiful village square. Cleanliness: perfect. The rooms were new and wonderfully rustic. The view from the room and the patio: spectacular! The hosts (Ms Kiki) were very helpful with advice about planning our trip at the Pilio area. And their recommendations about the village were very appreciated. The breakfast was good.

Antonios United States of America

We had a perfect stay in Melanthi! The house is beautiful, the room was lovely and the panoramic views that you can see from bed are perfect. Breakfast was great. And on top of all - Kiki and Vlassi are brilliant hosts, so friendly and kind. Kiki was our tour guide (with excellent recommendations!) and mentor for life ;) Thank you for everything. We'll be back for sure!

Yarden Israel

Amazing experience from welcoming to farewell! The hosts, Kiki and Vlassis, guided us before arriving and made sure we arrived safely and most efficiently. They offered us an excellent tsipouro and showered us with tips about restaurants, activities and anything that could make our stay in Makrinitsa memorable. Would definitely recommend Melanthi to anyone who wants to explore this beautiful part of Greece.

Phillip Bulgaria

Kiki and Vlassi are great people. Always happy and help with everything. Great hospitality. The location is great up in the village but requires a little walk which worth it. Keep on the good spirit

Paz Israel

We had a wonderful 3-day stay. It far exceeded our expectations! The village lies not far from Volos so it is quite easy to reach by car. The road to Makrinitsa is quite steep but it pays off with a wonderful view, quiet streets and clean mountain air. Everything is rustic and old build out of stones but very well maintained.

Sokratis Austria

This UNESCO World Heritage Village is rich in Greek history, amazing architecture, and cultural traditions. Every moment of our visit was magical. Short drives to great beaches with that incredible Aegean water.
