Aleka's House

We had the absolute pleasure of enjoying Easter Sunday lunch at Aleka’s House in Tsagkarada, and I can confidently say it was one of the most unforgettable dining experiences we’ve ever had. Everything—from the warm, heartfelt welcome to the final bite—was beyond perfect. The owner was not only gracious and attentive but also delightfully chatty, making every guest feel like family. Her daughters shared the same warmth and hospitality, ensuring that everyone was taken care of with genuine joy and care. What truly sets this place apart, though, are the thoughtful, artistic touches that speak volumes about the love poured into the experience. The menus were hand-painted, adorned with delicate pearls, and even scented with locally inspired fig-turned-perfume—a sensory detail I’ve never encountered before, and one I’ll never forget. And the food? Beyond exceptional. Every dish was a celebration of traditional flavors elevated with skill and passion. It felt like tasting a piece of the region’s soul. If you find yourself in Tsagkarada, do not miss Aleka’s House. It’s not just a meal—it’s an experience wrapped in beauty, authenticity, and warmth.

Another family from our hotel recommend this restaurant and we ate so happy we listened for our last meal of our trip. What a welcoming and delicious experience!!! Vaso, the daughter of the chef and 3rd generation was our hostess, so warm, friendly and kind. We were a group of 9 with 5 loud children but she was patient and even brought the picky eater a taste of the pasta to make sure she would like it. Everything was excellent from the cocktails, the delicious pumpkin soup that we ordered a refill on to the mushroom beef dish that they even gifted us a black truffle to add as much as we wanted. They invited us to enjoy their rooftop bar to enjoy the art work of a local artist Felix Delandre and desert and fresh fruit. The whole experience was so welcoming we felt like personal guests of the family. Of all the restaurants we ate at in Pelion (and we ate at many) this was the best. Restaurant was a bit more expensive but worth it.

We had dinner at the restaurant (didn’t stay at the hotel) food was soooo good! and finally fine cuisine after all the traditional tavernas. The veal with mushrooms was super! But the best was Vaso’s service. She’s amazing!

We were so blown away by the kindness of Kostas and his staff. From the moment we walked in, Kostas treated us as if we were friends. He was soaking in helping us as much as he could and also treating us to the most amazing dishes that his restaurant offered. We had an incredible tzatziki, slow cooked beef, and steamed mountain vegetables. Every dish was delicious We had hiked 25kms to get to the area, and we were staying at a beautiful hotel further out of town, which meant we had to walk uphill for 30 minutes to get to dinner. Our legs were exhausted. I asked when we arrived, and if he knew of a taxi service, who could take us back after dinner. We were so tired! He kindly arranged for one of his staff to run us donw the hill. Both my mum and I were so grateful for their kindness. The tzatziki was so good, we even asked for a takeaway! Thank you Kostas, we will always be grateful for this experience.

We had an amazing stay at Alekas. The food in the restaurant is of high quality and special delicate taste. The hotel is super clean and fine. Lena her daughter and the rest of the staff are very welcoming, warm hearted and professional. We left with a desire to come back !

Excellent food and service at the restaurant! Was not lucky enough to find a room available though.

A fanatic restaurant and hotel combo. The staff are incredible and the restaurant is the best on the mountain. ⛰️

From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm smiles and great service. The location is ideal , close to the main attractions, supermarkets, old tree in 5 minutes walk, the delicious restaurant in place . The room was spacious, beautifully decorated, and very clean. the stunning views from my window, which added a magical touch to my mornings and evenings :-) What truly sets Aleka's apart is the exceptional staff. Every team member I encountered went above and beyond to ensure my stay was perfect.
