The owner was waiting for us to check-in when we came late and he made us a large and traditional breakfast the next morning.

This is an excellent hotel with fantastic and very friendly staff. The rooms were very clean and the included breakfast was fantastic. We plan on returning to this hotel!

Amazing host! I was welcomed very kindly, there was cake for me in the fridge and you will get a voucher for the one and only restaurant in the village where you will also get a free drink. The bed was very comfortable and the pillows soft. I initially booked only 2 nights but stayed one more night because I liked it so much. It's a good place for hiking on the Melanon trail (I was driving to Stemnitsa for the hike to the monastries and another day to Dimitsana for the water museum which I can highly recommend).

Ortansia is far more than just a place to stay — it’s a home, one that embraces you with warmth and love from the moment you walk in. After a long day of travel, we were welcomed by the lovely mother-in-law of the landlady, and instantly felt like we were being received by family. It's clear that immense care and thought went into crafting this space. The house is beautifully decorated with handmade touches — from a striking wooden stump transformed into a side table to a unique lamp crafted from wood in the bedroom. Every detail speaks of intention and love, a far cry from the impersonal furnishings of typical accommodations. Though the mother-in-law did not speak English, the landlady kindly set up a video call to guide us through the house and explain everything clearly. Their thoughtfulness didn’t end there — as we were settling in, we discovered a delightful surprise in the kitchen: a selection of homemade treats, including melt-in-your-mouth cookies and large raisins soaked in a rich, syrupy liqueur. When we expressed our gratitude, they told us we’d be receiving a goody bag with these delicious cookies to take home — a gesture that touched us deeply. One evening, after returning from a breathtaking hike, we were surprised by a gentle knock at the kitchen window. There stood the mother-in-law, holding a plate of warm, homemade Greek donuts — freshly made and full of love. The owners also went out of their way to help with our hiking plans. They warned us about the weather conditions, which could have made our route dangerous, and even arranged a reliable cab driver to bring us back from the end of our one-way hike. The level of care and genuine hospitality we experienced at Ortansia is truly rare — even in a world full of beautiful places, few feel quite like this. We are so grateful to have stayed here and cannot recommend it highly enough. Thank you for creating such a magical, welcoming space for others to enjoy.

We were warmly welcomed with a home-made juice and pastries. The rooms are clean and cozy decorated. The breakfast was plentiful and varied.

Central location,room was comfy and staff excellent. Definitely recommended!!

Great owners!! Very friendly mother and daughter, who run the b&b and a taverna downstairs. We were hiking the menalon trail and stayed for 1 night with dinner at their place, very good, clean and modern room and tasty local food. The wonderful lady gave us coffee for free in the morning as well! Thank you!
