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.

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 :)
The location was OK but be prepared for a nasty drive with a lot of turns. Not the hotel's fault - it's just the village is in the mountain. Also the village center might be close in a straight line but in reality it's 20+ minutes walking uphill on a narrow road with a lot of turns and a lot of cars.
The rooms were alright. I would say not the best value for money but everything was fine. We skipped breakfast because we woke up early to catch a ferry.
The hotel is more like a warm and friendly family home to which you feel welcomed as a family member than a normal hotel. Its location can only be described as breathtaking, perched high above Volos and the Gulf. Every member of the Adam family, from grandmother to younger son, gave me help and information. Food and drink kept appearing as family gifts. The breakfasts were enormous, varied and tasty.
Amazing hosts and value - felt like a second home in greece with a caring family. Sweet details throughout the rooms and property, really great place to stay in Makrinitsa for a solo traveller (or with more people). Note that you will have to leave your car/taxi at the car park about 200m away from the guest house. Location is perfect and I highly recommend for a relaxing mountain stay.
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.
We loved the location, the view of the city of Volos was very clear and the river below the hotel was the only sound we could here. It is such a serene place and the rest here feels like being in a dream. The breakfast was amazing! Homemade, fresh and so delicious! Everyone of the staff was very polite, attentive and helpful.
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!
It was an incredible stay! The house is like a historical museum with all the facilities of a high rated hotel at the same time. Plenty of space, stunning views, comfortable beds, any equipment you may need is there at your disposal. The house was very warm in spite of winter weather.
The room was clean, tranditionally decorated, with a great view to Volos. The staff was very friendly and the breakfast was adequate. The room is located close to the central square of the village. A nice plus was the ability to park your car in the hotel.
The Staff was amazing. Friendly and helpful. They make your amazing stay even better. The hotel itself is perfect. It maintains the feeling of old local houses while being equipped with the every technology needed to make your stay smooth and comfortable.
We really enjoyed our stay in Charis Guesthouse and we would definitely stay there again! The room was very comfortable and clean, the breakfast was exceptional, while the people in the hotel were very friendly and ready to help us for any request we had.
magnificent location. astonishing view from terace. charming traditional house. mr. zafeiridi is not only a perfect host, but a very pleasant person to talk to. he gave us a lot of useful advices so we were able to discover a superb piece of greece.
Amazing hotel located in a stunning little village with a beautiful view of Volos city and Pagasetic gulf. Very warm hospitality from the owners who were really nice and helpful.
The village and hotel both were very beatiful. Staff was very helpful. The room was very clean and comfortable. It was quiet and we had good rest there.
