Valeni Boutique Hotel & Spa ★★★★

"My family and I were at the hotel for a happy occasion of Christening of a close friend's child. The place is tranquil, and personnel are ready to help and assist. Rooms are well equipped with coffee & tea equipment, plenty of towels. Spa offers a variety of massages and different procedures."

Gastronomy Hotel Kritsa ★★★

"Needing to catch an early ferry from Volos and not finding anything suitable in town, we decided to stay at Hotel Kritsa in Portaria having seen other good reviews online. We were not disappointed! The hotel and restaurant are nestled on the main square in the centre of the village. Our room was comfortably furnished with a little balcony overlooking the square. We had a fridge, tea and coffee making facilities and air-conditioning (a must when temperatures are in the late 30s) The staff were really friendly especially Elein and we ate at the restaurant in the evening. Food was fantastic. With a very early start we didn’t get to sample the breakfast which everyone raves about however they kindly made up a pack-up for us. Great value and a lovely hotel"

Portaria Hotel ★★★★

"The hotel is located just 5-10 minutes walk above the lovely village of Portaria. From most of the rooms you have a splendid view over the bay and city of Volos which can be accessed only by car in about 30 minutes along a windy but scenic road. The hotel is divided into several houses with no central hallway. Therefore you have to walk along the parking site in front of the hotel in order to access the wellness area. Swimming pool and fitness room cost an extra charge of 15,- EUR per day and sauna another 10,- EUR per person on top. Therefore we never saw people using it and this seems to be intended. We had a spacious junior suite with our own fire place. But when we lit the fire, the whole room was full of smoke despite a closed glas fire door. It seemed that others had the same problem since the room smelled already smoky on the day of our arrival. The personnel at the reception seems not be prepared for foreigners even though they spoke English quite reasonably. Different people were not very helpful and we always had the impression that they were glad when we did not bother them with questions. One highlight was the breakfast with a wide variety of fruit, bread, cake, cereals, cheese, omelette, sausages, fresh pressed orange juice, mountain tea etc."

Despotiko ★★★★

"For 4 stars enough satisfactory .... The rooms are too hot we completely shut down the heating at 17 degrees the lowest and did not turn on ... breakfast buffet perfect, but if you want to get another coffee other than French it was an extra charge while normally It is inside ... nice view but quite high as a location with a walk up 10' .... if it is by car it goes, but the aisle is very narrow and there is a ground floor parking in the hotel."

Kenta Mountain Hotel ★★★★

"Very nice place in the center of the village, big and comfortable rooms ,the hotel is very clean! good location in the area, the owner vasili and voula are wonderful couple and you fill like a family. A rich and certainly satisfying breakfast."

Xenia Palace Portaria ★★★★

"I and my wife stayed for 2 nights during a conference for pediatrics. The hotel has an interesting old architecture with heavy rustic furniture in the lounge and bar and more modern in the rooms. The breakfast room and the restaurant are placed outside of the hotel with a very good view to city of Volos and Pagasitikos golf. Breakfast is quiet good and rich. The stuff is well trained and gentle. The hotel is about 10 min by feet away of the village centre."

Catherine Portaria Guest House ★★★

Archontiko Naoumidi ★★★

"Very beautiful mountain town and hotel"

Palladio Hotel - Portaria ★★★

"The room was awful when you entered the room.Of the five rooms only in one had towels, so we could get us to the rest of their rooms we asked for it three times and they finally brought them in the evening. The worst was that they did not turn on the heating, and in the rooms the temperature barely reached 18 degrees (then they closed the heating and fell to 16). Every 2-3 hours we had the time to look for the person responsible to do something with the burner that didn't work (even at 4 o'clock we were looking to turn on the heating so we wouldn't freeze). You understand that in a mountain destination and indeed in winter this is a big problem; the score with 1 star is done because there is no 0 (or even less)."
