Despotiko

Best place to stay in portaria!!The service is so professional,the rooms are out o this world and the breakfast is with local traditional products.Very clean rooms,beautiful view,We got upgraded to a better room so kind from this gem hotel.Keep guys the good work!!!A magical place to stay for your vacation!!!!

Despotiko is a very fine hotel at a high point of portaria with means it also has an amazing view. The service is flawless although we did encounter some telephone pranking at one point. The food wasn't very good the first night(Tuesday) but was almost perfect the next day. The breakfast is absolutely worth it. Now about the rooms, although not perfect for school trips, I must admit that they are excellent for families of 4. For example the bathroom doors wouldn't close completely but then again it doesn't matter. The rooms are clean, have a nice view of volos and are honestly very well built. From my experience this hotel is worth 4 stars and the price is amazing considering what you get. If you ever find yourself visiting portaria then give this place a visit.

Value for money for the dates that I went end of July paying 50€ with breakfast was a very good price.Yes indeed the road is a little bumpy but nothing more than a car can't handle,the bumpy road is about 200 metres or less and there is a parking in the hotel 🏨 .The breakfast is very decent with a big variety of products .The hotel does have a pool also which is very nice.Overall it is a smooth place managed by decent people.The location is good and if you leave the car in the parking lot of the hotel you can walk your way from portaria to makrinitsa in half an hour.So better walking than talking your car.The hotel also is very relaxed especially where I lived in archontiko.In the price there is also a hidden fee of 3.5 euros is considered to be a tax that is not calculated in the overall price nevertheless you pay it and it would be could to be informed for this fee from the start.Long story short a decent place to relax especially if you hit a similar or better price if you are there do not miss going to Volos for tsipoura and mezedes!

Very nice hotel, clean. The staff is very friendly and willing to help.

Excellent location/ Very nice traditional and causy rooms

I think it's a winter resort but as the local say it's also for summer so feel free to go all year
