KRITSA GASTRONOMY HOTEL

The hotel and restaurant are among the best places you can visit! Dont miss this spot and make sure to try the food. The hotel is beautifully designed with a cozy and friendly atmosphere both inside and in the restaurant. The food is absolutely phenomenal!

Do yourself a favour and stay here. Is one of those places that you will think about years to come and will make you want to book another trip to Greece just to comeback to this place. Special hotel with one of the best breakfast of my life in an amazing setting. Also you need to have dinner there. Best meal in Greece.

We stayed at Kritsa Hotel for 3 days and we are super satisfied! The hotel is so beautiful, they kept the pure traditional architecture and design which we loved! The rooms very clean and with all the necessary amenities available. Also, the location is absolutely fantastic in the central square of the village. Eating bfast under the trees every morning was so amazing! Food very good! Last, the personnel all very polite, however, I really want to mention and thank Vasilis who worked the morning shifts. He is one of most considerate, helpful and kind people we have encountered in the industry. He really cared about our experience and he assisted us with everything we needed. We will definetely visit again!

this was the best hotel of our trip to greece, beautiful hotel... for sure not the fanciest but their breakfast was indeed as good (if not better) than what anyone was claiming to be... really homemade things with such an amazing flavour and variety... we left greece wishing we had stayed an extra night in this area mainly because of this hotel... the room was very well maintained, the view to the courtyard was also great and the people in general were super nice, thank you for the beautiful memories

This place is just fantastic and I would describe it as quite a multi-sensory experience. I stayed in Volos. This is in the mountains. I called the night before and was greeted by a patient and lovely man, who told me their hours and reassured me I did not need a reservation but made one anyway. Their concept is truly unique and remarkable: true farm-to-table (they own their farm), consume locally sourced products, eat seasonally. Ask them about their sister restaurants/cafés! First of all, the drive up from Volos is just amazing and breathtaking, especially as you climb closer to Portaria. To me, this restaurant feels like a multi-sensory experience! 💯 It feels like your classy friend's living room, with the fancy kitchen nearby, nice smells and aromas and the whole vibe. When I walked in, as someone into deep aromas and odors, the first thing that hit me is the lovely, subtle smell of ❤️‍🔥 burning wood from the chimney and food aromas that tease your stomach into submission! Pure pleasure, pure pleasure! Visually, the interior has the feel of a winter chalet. The music 🎶 comprises Jazz piano standards and is sooo soothing, contributing to an amazing 😍 experience. I had the Trachana soup, the beet salad with cheese/yogurt, pickled onions and pistachios, and the lamb fricassee. The soup is soo beautiful! It is a mixture of curdy, slightly sour, and well seasoned: it has feta-like cheese, a sausage out of this world...🌎 One of the top two soups I've had in Greece. The beet salad! 🥗 Mann, what can I say? For all of y'all who think beets are bland 🙄, you've never had beets like these before: the perfect mix of vinegary and sweet. The pistachios and the soft cheese add an amazing touch... Finally, your boy ending things with the lamb with greens (Xorta) dish and egg lemon sauce! (Avgolemono). Even before tasting, the beautiful smell of dill and other herbs hit me in the face like a mule! 😅 This is the best, most original, stewed lamb 🐑 dish I've had in Greece: and I've been coming here for almost a decade. To close things off, the apricot pie/tart 🙄🥧. Come try it. Nothing to say. In Volos, αγάπη μου, with YOU 🥰🙏🏿🚀.

All the food served in their restaurant comes from their organic farm... even the honey and butter. 4 hours outside of Athens... great drive mostly along the coast and then up the mountains through more picturesque villages.

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

We stayed here for one night enroute from Thessaloniki to the Pelion.|A lovely traditional hotel …very clean with a comfortable bed but rooms are small. We had a room overlooking the square, this could be noisy but we were so tired after our early start that we slept through a music festival that was taking place in the square.|The staff are very friendly and immediately helped carry our bags up to our room.|The breakfast was the best we’ve ever had in Greece …and this includes five star hotels in Athens.|We will definitely return and stay a couple of nights to explore the immediate area .
