Archontiko Filippidi

The view

The place looks like it's neglected. We felt abandoned. We tried to communicate about things but got no answer. We left at morning before breakfast.

Very friendly, helpful hostess. Very stylishly renovated, beautiful, historic country house with stunning views of the Gulf of Volos. Cozy rooms. Very quiet location. Everything very clean and well-kept. Excellent breakfast on the terrace with regional, homemade products included in the room rate. Inviting lounge in oriental style. Just a few minutes walk to the village square with taverns, bars and historic church.

Everything is fine

The hotel is located in a perfect place, with a fantastic view on the sea. It is an old and very charming house in stones, with all comfort and a superb Ottoman Style lounge where you can sit on cushions and enjoy the view. But the most important point is how the owners Kostas and his wife, as well as Maria, who prepares the breakfast and run the hotel take care of you. We've been there in an awfulf moment, during the terrible flood that touched the Pelion. And they helped us with everything, Maria never let us down and would leave her home, which was partially flooded, to prepare each day a breakfast to us and the other couple which was staying there, even when we were short of water and food in the village. Kostas risked his own life to help us and took us in his car to bring us back to Volos, and he even organized for us a free stay in an hotel in Kala Nera because it took more time to get back to Volos than expected. We had never seen such fantastic hosts, never letting you down even when they were themselves sadly touched by the tragedy. To put it in a nutshell, they were just perfect people and we're eternally grateful to them.

Wonderful just. Perfect location for visiting the lovely square. Very relaxing stay.

Very atmospheric old house, not over-restored but still with good bathrooms. Great breakfast and view from the terrace outside. Would stay here again.

It was a little bit difficult to find, you have to take a stone alleyway downhill from the Clock Tower.
