Just got back from a long Easter weekend at Pilion. Xenia has been fully renovated and looks really nice. Has an excellent location for walking to the village and a great view over Volos although most rooms overlook the mountain. Rooms are cosy and new but have some of the most user unfriendly plumbing fixtures and toiletries provided could be... More

Excellent location. Very very clean. Very helpful staff. Very nice rooms. Fantastic view. Very nice restaurant with THE view. Special areas for smokers and for playing cards or board games. All in all, the hotel one should choose to stay!

As all other reviewers have mentioned the view of Xenia Palace is unique! The hotel has been refurbished and Portaria is a wonderful place to visit either in winter or in the summer. I have stayed in Xenia Palace many times and have been more than satisfied every time. It is by far the best hotel in the area. The... More

Stayed here for a night in May 2012 taking part in a "walking weekend" organized by a firm working togethet with the one where my wife works. Pelion is amazing, definitely worth a longer stay and this hotel, just at the beginning of the mountain, perched over Volos, is a good base to explore it. Our room was large and... More

I stayed with my family in XENIA PALACE for a weekend in August 2012. The location of the hotel is fantastic. Especially, the panoramic view of Volos at night from the restaurant Veranda is absolutely amazing. I booked a junior suite at the basement which have enough space for three adults. The price was very reasonable for what we got.... More

We have spent a weekend in this hotel. The hotel is having a great view of Pagasitikos and you will definitely enjoy taking a coffee in the balcony (provided your room has a sea view) or in the hotel's cafes. What it was bad was that the Veranda (a hotel's place for cafe and drink) was closed during our stay.... More

This looks pretty dated from the outside but inside is OK and staff are helpful, check-in is pretty quick and efficient and room rate is good value. Had a suite which was very big and luxurious although was working so didn't spend too much time making use of the facilities, WiFi is quick and efficient. There is ample parking at... More

For us this is the best hotel in Pelio. We’ve stayed there twice and after staying at another hotel in the area we decided that Xenia Palace will be our only choice in Portaria from now on. Although the exterior of the building is not impressive and reminds a little bit of the 70’s and 80’s (like all Xenias), the... More

The hotel is located on the outskirts of Portaria and has a very big car park. Both of room views (you have 2 options: pool - gulf view or Makrinitsa view) compensate you. Century-old planes are surrounding the hotel and the architecture of the building is ideally combined with the natural environment. Rooms are new and very smart decorated. A... More

This is a luxury hotel in a quaint mountain village with a breathtaking view. The rooms are elegant, spacious, clean and functional. Breakfast had abundant choice and there is a beautiful terrace with stunning views overlooking the swimming pool. We attended a reception and the food was top notch. The cliff-side location of the venue has an indescribable view. There... More
