Perfect for a night or two if you don’t want to stay in Volos or if you are exploring the Pelion. Lovely location; really comfortable room and great food in the restaurant. We had to leave early so missed breakfast but they made us a pack up which was delicious!
Charming older style hotel overlooking a delightful town square, with a very nice restaurant on the ground floor. However, access is only via a very narrow staircase which can be challenging if you have large luggage. Car parking is off-site but only a short walk away.
Fantastic stay. Our room was comfortable and quiet but no lift. The restaurant served delicious meals for both dinner and breakfast. The area is quaint and full of character.
Un très bel accueil, puis on nous a offert de l'aide pour apporter nos bagages à la chambre. Une belle chambre très propre et bien équipée pour un séjour de quelques jours. Nous avons adoré l'atmosphère et très bien manger au restaurant de l'hôtel. Et nous avons été vraiment choyé, nous avons reçu un très bon petit déjeuner pour apporter car nous devions quitter très tôt le matin. Notre regret, c'est de na pas avoir pu prolonger notre séjour. Un coup de cœur pour le beau village Portaria, la vue sur Volos et les environs à découvrir. Encore merci pour tout.
The breakfast buffet here is amazing with a wonderful selection.. We are gluten-free vegans, and we still had a large amount of choices. The staff was very polite and helpful. There is no elevator so if you have issues with narrow staircases, request ahead of time a room on the lower floor. All in all a pleasant stay.
Overall I am really happy about the hotel with this kind of Antique style, but the best and UNFORGETTABLE thing is the Greek Breakfast, I have never seen something similar, not even in a 5 stars hotel.
This is a really quaint hotel in the middle of the village of Portaria. It’s set back on a beautiful courtyard. The rooms are not large but more than adequate and very clean. We had a balcony overlooking the courtyard. The breakfast is fantastic and the restaurant for dinner is the best in the area.
A gem of a property with food second to none. During our stay of 3 nights we dined there all 3 nights. The dining area is in a garden setting with 1000 year old trees surrounding us. The included breakfast was beyond expectations of farm to table fair presented in a most charming manner. Definitely going back to Portaria and neighboring Makrinitsa. Just fabulous.
Such a beautiful place. Our room had a sweet little balcony overlooking the outdoor restaurant. We had dinner there, and the setting and food were memorable. But the (free) breakfast the next morning was even better—scrumptious. Worth going out of your way to stay here.

Highly recommended
One of the nicest hotels we've ever stayed at - with lots of personal touches (fruit, nuts, home made liqueurs, etc), balcony overlooking lovely old tree/square, superb restaurant, very friendly people. Easy to reach coast, by car, in either direction. We'd love to go back in the winter
We absolutely loved this hotel. Apart from the charming staff, excellent food and lovely location, there were lots of nice touches (complimentary homemade liqueurs, fruits, nuts, ouzo) to make the stay even more personal. Our favourite hotel from our road trip around Greece and the islands.We became particularly attached to the very impressive, 800 year old tree in front of our balcony.
We had a great experience in the Kritsa Gastronomy Hotel. The staff of the hotel were friendly, very helpful and provide good services. The breakfast was great and different every morning with home made food. The restaurant is also very good.
Zimmer individuell gestaltet. Personal und Inhaber jederzeit ansprechbar, hilfsbereit und sehr zuvorkommend. Küche regional und gut. Preise angemessen.
Hotel Krista is a gem of a Greek hotel! The staff are just fabulous and make you feel like you are settling into their home for a visit. The hotel has great character and the food at the hotel's restaurant was the best we had in Greece! It was also a great help to have great staff that walked us through what everything on the menu was and made great recommendations. Breakfast was just amazing. I wanted to stay for hours just to try all the delights they offered! The room has all the basics and a very comfortable bed. Our room had a little balcony that led onto a larger deck where you could sit outside and enjoy a coffee or a wine. Perfect! We loved this hotel but it is best suited for those looking for authentic Greek accommodation experience. For example: no pool, stairs - no elevator, and limited internet.
Wij hebben een nacht op de hotel Kritsa gelogeerd. Het kamer was zeer goed en ruim genoeg. Het restaurant beneden de hotel was ook zeer goed. Al met al een zeer goede ervaring. Wij zullen zeker nog terug komen.
Το δωμάτιό μας, το οποίο επιλέξαμε επειδή ήταν δίχωρο για οικογένεια,είχε ένα πολύ μικρό χώρο για τα παιδιά και αρκετή φασαρία αφού βρισκόταν ακριβώς πάνω από το εστιατόριο. Ήταν όμως πολύ καθαρό, το προσωπικό πολύ ευγενικό και φιλικό με τα παιδιά και η βεράντα έβλεπε σε πλατεία.
Παρότι ήρθα απο Αθήνα , γεννήθηκα στο Βόλο και συχνά επισκέπτομαι την περιοχή και γνώριζα το εστιατόριο του ξενοδοχείου ,όπως και οι περισσότεροι κάτοικοι του Βόλου που συχνά το προτιμούν στις κοντινές βόλτες του .Είπα να γνωρίσω και τον ξενώνα και δεν έκανα λάθος επιλογή .Άνθρωποι φιλόξενοι ,πρωινό πλουσιοπάροχο ,κα θαριότητα ,ζέστη στα δωμάτια παρά την παγωνιά ,δωμάτιο όμορφο ,παραδοσιακό και άνετο !
This was an autumn break in an area of Greece which we had visited fleetingly before. We went expecting it to be a lovely location. We didn't anticipate just how beautiful it was. Pelion is a peninsula dominated by a mountain range which rises to over 5000 feet. Unlike much of Greece it benefits from a regular rainfall (though not while we were there) and the mountainside is covered in the most magnificent deciduous forest - chestnut, walnut and, above all, the most splendid maple/plane trees. The mountains are dotted with small villages of great charm and on the Aegean side, there are a variety of good beaches. The city of Volos is just 20 minutes away, reached by a rapidly descending road which is a bit of a test of car and driver - multiple hairpins and Greek drivers who assume the road belongs to them. Volos - like Athens - has some pretty unattractive industrial suburbs but there are some charming streets with good bars and restaurants and there is a fine waterfront lined with places to eat and drink.
