The hosts vere welcoming, the view is magnificent, the owners made a real effort to refurbish the house keeping its old mountain house atmosphere.

Our room was incredibly small for a family room and really dark. We wanted to change it, but couldn't. The shower was so tiny, it was impossible to move in it. The access to the hotel parking is a bit challenging. Careful which road you take from Volos - the only option that is usable is the one through Portaria, the other one (and the more direct option) is closed and for good reason. A flooding in 2023 destroyed the road, it is very dangerous.

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.

It is the shoulder season here, the roads are in construction and getting there was very challenging to say the least if you are not used to super narrowed and elevated roads, if it wasn't for that very helpful call we got form the manager we would have followed the GPS which would have taken us thought a dangerous road. When we got there it was a hotel (not an AirBNB) but there was no staff on the site, they operate remotely but they are very available on the phone and answers quickly. Note that there are no elevators and a few staircases if you have big luggage... Being in the shoulder season (May) we had some issues with our room (the A/C wouldn't work, the mini fridge didnt work, stuff like that...)but they gave us the room next door to ours and resolve all our issues.

Terrific if you’re fairly confident driving in the mountains in Greece. Get driving directions from the owner before, otherwise Google will take you on a route that is appropriate only if you’re on a donkey or are driving a tank. Then turn Google off and follow the signs. Once you arrive, you will completely forget about any hassle you had getting there. It is gorgeous, peaceful and beautiful. Just make sure you don’t forget to pack any personal items you need, it’s a long way down and back. Definitely a highlight of our trip in the area

The drive to and from

Location was amazing- spectacular views and walking distance to the town. Staff was incredibly helpful and hospitable. They made our stay!

the place is run by a lovely couple, who were very attentive & hospitable!!! The hotel is beautiful & located at the best place to enjoy both the center of the village & also to be reached by a car, and the big bonus is that it has a parking lot ! the breakfast was very tasty & good, and included all the delicious pastries of Greece

As a vegetarian, I always love to eat some vegetables at breakfast but there were a lot of fruits, and a wonderful greek yogurt.

12mins on foot from Makrinitsa square, very quiet and peaceful!

Unfortunately we didn’t get the chance to meet any of the staff although we didn’t need anything. Some slight improvements in the shower could be considered.

We spent 8 nights in Archontiko Skopeliti and we will definitely come back again :) The hotel is in the best location in Makrinitsa (Makrinica is amazing), very close to the center of the village and has its own parking lot. The hotel has the most beautiful view of the bay, it has a terrace with the most beautiful view of the bay! Our room had a sea view, the rooms are new and clean. Wi fi is excellent. Maria and Philipo are young but excellent hosts, who work hard. They recommended and reserved for us the best restaurants in the area. They recommended the best beaches on the coast. During check out, they prepared cold water for us to take back and a gift, as a sign of attention. We had an amazing stay and we would love to go back there in the winter :)

I could just stand in that room all day and stare out of the window at the scenery and watch the birds singing and flying at face level. The house itself is also very lovely, and the village and surrounding paths in the wood are equally breathtaking.

I found the mattresses very hard.

Very kind and helpful staff who besides others offered us breakfast which wasn’t included to the price paid for the room. The room was very clean with beautiful view to the city of Volos.

The room was a bit tiny and there were no mosquito screens on the windows.

-Clean -Beautiful room -The fact that it had parking

-The coffe in the morning. It was not espresso. If they would buy an espresso machine it would be great. -We had the room without the Volos view. But this is not their fault. It was the only one available
