Barbagiannis House

This place has everything for a weeks vacation. It’s just outside the fishing village port area so you are away from the crowds, and the beach is a 5 minute walk in the other direction. We stayed in one of the two new bungalows on the site. These are very well equipped with bedroom, living area and small kitchenette, fridge, sink, hot plate and kettle. The bathroom had a walk-in shower, and everywhere was air conditioned. Every morning there is a substantial breakfast with both hot and cold options and as much coffee as you could drink lots of sun beds around the pool and gardens as well. The one disappointment was the the on-site restaurant was closed as the season was ending

Barbagiannis House is family run and it would be difficult to find better service anywhere. The family take a pride in keeping their property clean and attractive. There are both sunny and shady areas, within the well kept garden, where you can relax and enjoy the view. We stayed in one of the bungalows and could not have been more comfortable. They are modern and spacious. Our private outside decking area was an ideal place to sit, either in a chair or sun longer and enjoy the view. The terrace area also has a good sized table and clothes drier (very useful for drying swimwear and towels). A large retractable awning ensured we could have shade, if needed, when the sun was high. A few steps to the bar area where we ate a good breakfast each morning. This is also where we could order food and drink throughout the day. Lunch and dinner can be enjoyed in the adjacent Thalassa restaurant. The pool area is kept spotless and is where we liked to relax each day. The views from the bar, restaurant and pool area are incredible. I highly recommend enjoying a cocktail here. The beach is only a few minutes walk as is the harbour area. We will definitely be returning.

Small boutique style hotel, lovely old style building in a lovely quiet location, but within very easy walking distance of harbour, beach and restaurants. Room very clean and comfortable. Very friendly owners. Lovely pool and bar area- very relaxing. Good breakfast. Loved the Greek yogurt with walnuts and honey, and lots of lovely fresh fruit available. This is a perfect spot to relax, with lovely views across the bay. Best to travel with a car so you can explore. There is plenty of shaded parking space at the hotel. Lovely hotel, lovely location- would definitely recommend

We booked one of the bungalows for the week on a vacation with some friends and it was magical. Maria and her team and family are awesome and they made our stay amazing. The location is fabulous, the food at the restaurant is to die for, hotel has everything you need and the view from the pool is stellar. Try the cocktails at the bar and enjoy northern Greece. Everything about this hotel is awesome!

Barbagiannis House is located on top of a small headland offering gorgeous views of the coast and Aegean sea. The village of Ormos Panagias is a few minutes walk downhill - there you will find cafes, restaurants and a small supermarket and the village is also the jumping off point for boat trips to beaches and Mount Athos. We were a last minute booking. This was not a planned holiday but a trip we had to do to meet UK travel requirements as we were moving house from Cairo. We had travelled from Athens up to Thessaloniki and were looking to move on from there. Halkidiki was a place I remembered offered beautiful beaches and I had always been fascinated to see Mount Athos. I looked at lots of accommodation. We were late in so doing. By this point in the year villas were very expensive for just two of us, many aparthotels looked too 'communal' and, potentially, noisy, hotels seemed to limit the feeling of freedom. What we wanted was a comfortable, grown up, relaxing, uncrowded environment with close proximity to the sea. Arriving at Barbagiannis House I knew we had found what we were looking for. We had a two bed apartment which was perfect for us. We have a lot of luggage, my husband is working throughout our stay and it gave us space for him to do so. The balcony was simply wonderful with a direct and wide view, past the palm trees and the grape vine to the bay, so close. It was wonderful to sit and gaze out to sea with a pre-dinner glass of ouzo. We found the apartment to be comfortable and it was spotlessly clean. It was cleaned daily which was just as we wanted. In fact the whole place is spotlessly clean and well cared for. Beds were comfortable and the bathroom was large and practical. We had moved from a 5 star boutique hotel with no shelving in a tiny bathroom but here we had room to spread out. There were two large wardrobes in the hall with drawer space and some drawer space in the bedrooms. You could stay as separate couples as both bedrooms had direct access to the balcony. There is a small kitchen which was ample for our catering needs. There was plenty of equipment if you wanted to cook and a small oven with two hot plates. Breakfast is served by the pool. It was plentiful and very tasty. Choices included bacon, eggs (fried and scrambled), salad, breads, wonderful Greek yoghurt, juices... At night it was all so gloriously peaceful. We slept so soundly. There is a Blue Flag beach a short walk downhill (in the opposite direction to the village). Barbagiannis House arranges for free sun loungers and umbrellas for its guests at a specific location 1 km from the hotel. You could walk there if you wished . There is a drinks and food delivery service to your lounger if you choose. Because we had been touring around the peninsula and had taken a boat trip (from Ouranopoli) to Mount Athos we only went to the beach once but it was simply glorious. Barbagiannis House offers a great formula combining the independence of apartment liv
