Archontika Karamarlis Boutique Hotel - Archontika Karamarlis Boutique Hotel

Great location with stunning view. Owner couple was very kind. Breakfast was amazing.

Excellent stay with great view. Very hospitable!

A must visit, must stay, must revisit place on Pelion mountain with stunning sea views at Volos city, private parking. A visitor friendly boutique hotel made with quality taste by a great host. Home made breakfast inside and good tavernas around. Good value for money. Design suites with great sleep conditions and very quiet. I love this place.

This establishment is built on two separate buildings on the steep mountainside. If you stay at the lower one, you will suffer a 200m "climb" on the road in order to go wherever you intend to. Tiresome! We had to take the car each time, but then we had to struggle for a parking space. Other than that, the view is spectacular and the main establishment is pretty fair.

We arrived at the hotel in the evening after being lost on the way from Volos to Makrinitsa and entered by mistakes on the very narrow streets of Stagiates. To find parking places in high season in Makrinitsa is almost impossible but fortunately the hotel has 3-4 places (if you are very good in maneuvering the car). The views from the terraces of the Archontika Karamarlis Boutique Hotel are amazing by day and by night. The architecture of the hotel is also very unexpected for someone not familiar with the Greek mountain old houses architecture. Actually the hotel has (at least( four floors disposed on different terraces so if you stay on the 3rd or 4th floor you will have to climb a lot of exterior narrow stone stairs. Advice: If you stay only 1-2 nights try to leave the heavy and bulky luggage in your car. The interior design of the rooms make you thing that you are in the Addams Family castle in an amusing way. Most of the rooms are small, some of them with an incredible view towards Volos town and the sea. Amazing was also the fact that continuing to climb the outside stairs you arrive suddenly in the main paved street leading to the village central square. The breakfast was only very good, with traditional bio eggs and homemade sweets and confiture. We stay only one night but we promised ourselves that we will come back for sure in Makrinitsa and Pelion region.

Loved it. Great room with a nice rustic ambience and a spectacular view of the peninsula from the hilltop hotel. The complimentary Greek breakfast was delicious. The staff who received us did not speak good English but she made all the effort to make our stay a comfy one. It was so sweet of her using actions to explain us the local attractions. The owner lady was also very friendly and gave us some helpful suggestions for the rest of our Greek trip. However, the parking space was limited and expect hairpin roads to get there.

A very enjoyable stay made moreso by the good advice we were given on how to enjoy Peleon and above on eating in Volos.

An outstanding place to stay, with an excellent location! The staff was friendly, making us feel at home. I enjoyed the spectacular view and our coffee time at the lounge café. Our room was well-prepared for the season and fully equipped, the bathroom was quite spacious, the children had enough room to run and play around, the breakfast was homemade and appealing. Overall, I couldn't be happier with our experience at the establishment. We had a great time, I will surely revisit the place, and I recommend it!
