Ikosimo Guesthouse

We have stayed here twice now and on each occasion we have enjoyed genuine hospitality. The hotel is ideally situated along a quite side street only metres from the sea and the tavernas.
Whilst there is no parking, street parking within 50 metres is easy to find.
We will be returning again soon.

This very charming small hotel is a real gem. I can't recommend it enough for service, comfort and authenticity. Small, but beautiful and individually designed rooms wirh a very personal touch.
From the moment one arrives, you feel as though you are visiting someone's home. They are so considerate and friendly - you feel like staying at a close friend's place!
The rooms were neat and clean and for the price very spacious. 
  I recommend this hotel to anyone

By visiting Yoanna and her family you will feel welcome from the start. They will do everything to help you have an excellent stay. The room was very clean, spacious and luxurious given the price offered. Located in a quiet street just 30 meters from the beach. Upon arrival there was complimentary water in the fridge which is very thoughtful. The room was cleaned every day which is not very Greek. Bakeries, supermarkets, restaurants and coffee bars are just around the corner as well as the beach. We had 4 great days!

The owners of this hotel are the two brothers Pari and Christo who owe the “Paris” famous Taverna in the village of Kala Nera which I urge you to visit if you happen to be out there. We dined at the tavern and we were impressed from the impeccable service, their professionalism and excellent cuisine. When Pari told us about the family’s hotel and the beautiful sunsets of Milina we decided to give it a try.
  
Unfortunately the dates were not matching with the vacancy of the hotel and I had to make one or two changes in the original plan. So, we booked out here for this one night only, driving southern and we never regretted it.  In fact on my coming trip to Pelion I will consider the village of Milina and this specific hotel as my first priority before visiting any other village. 

LOCATION: The Ikosimo traditional apartments are on an off-road only 2 minutes on foot to the beach and about 48 kms south-eastern of Volos.  As you come down the road you will come across STATHIS Taverna which is right on the corner. IKOSIMO apartments are 20 metres in that road.

PROPERTY: The hotel is new and impressive both outdoors and indoors. I did not expect it to be that good but it is brilliant. Maria who is Pari’s wife was telling us that the brothers and the whole family worked endless hours out here to finish it. If you happen to come and not find the owner at the reception there is a phone number left on her desk and if you give her a ring she will come in seconds. The owners’ house is just next door and the two brothers share the same garden in two separate properties down at the side of these apartments.

OUR ROOM: The room we had was on the top floor and the view from there was amazing. It was a spacious corner apartment overlooking the beach from the side road and the whole of the village. I was impressed with the big comfortable porch which was well equipped and the fact that every balcony had its own awnings which are handy and can be drawn down to block the heat from coming in the apartments at noon. A nice gesture to guests!  Several pieces of the interior (light fittings and pendants) both in the rooms and out in the lounge and corridors are works of art created by Pari himself. 
The room was nicely appointed and spotlessly clean. The interior was cozy and perfect for comfortable and relaxing holidays. Pity that it was fully booked and we could not extend our stay for one or two more days! 

FACILITIES: The room was fully equipped with kitchenette, coffee/tea facilities, an ice box, a wardrobe, a flat TV set, and a safe. Linens and towels were bright clean bearing the name of the hotel in red colour. Attention is paid to detail and everything is of high standards. It is obvious that the owners have given a careful thought and this is the reason why repeaters keep coming back. 

BATHROOM: It is not that big but it is ok. The small bath tab is functional and fits out there perfectly. You can sit and take a shower, way better than the step- in showers we come across in some hotels with the plastic curtains and water running down the floor.  The small window out here overlooks the sea. Shampoo and Bath Gel are provided.

BREAKFAST: The hotel does not provide breakfast but since it is an apartment you can either make your own or get to the nearest bakery or coffee shop (kafenio) and have one. You will find several in the village.

WI FI: It is provided and it is free but the power is not that fast.

TIP: Have in mind that there is no lift and the apartments are not handicapped friendly.

BEACHFRONT: The beach is just a 2 minute walk, umbrellas and beds are free and they are opposite STATHIS Taverna which I highly recommend.  The beach is partly sand and pebbled. Expect to see the most breathtaking sunsets from out there.

MILINA: The Village is typically a Greek village popular for its breathtaking sunsets and the beautiful natural coves hidden in greenery. You will find plenty of restaurants, tavernas and café bars right on the beachfront road and by the beautiful Square of the village which is impressive especially with the lights on and it is quite crowded during the summer months. 

EATING OUT: I highly recommend “O STATHIS” tavern.  We went there for dinner. The owners Sophia and Stathi are amazing hosts and professionals in every way. They are running the business since 1983. We tried several of Sophia’s local cooked dishes and Seafood. The seafood we had was the catch of the day. It was so fresh that smelled sea.  The tavern is right on the waterfront. Be sure to bring along your camera to catch the sun disappearing in the blue crystal waters. 
Ask for ‘meze or pikilia’ so that you will have the opportunity to taste several of Sophia’s dishes because the variety is big. It is not an expensive restaurant and good value for money. There was a dinner party gathering of repeaters in the village and STATHIS Tavern was their meeting spot. Most of the guests were coming from Europe and they exceeded the 30. The cuisine met their requests and everybody was satisfied judging from the hugs and smiles when the time came for them to leave. 

In all, it was an amazing short stay that exceeded our expectations. I have already talked to friends about it and I am planning to return. Keep the good work up guys. You deserve to be the best and you surely are.

Great Family Run Hotel

Very well situated. The household is not well done. Sheets and towels are changed everything 2 days, but toilet, bathtub are not washed, soap are not resupplied, molds in the fridge appear at the end of 5 days because not cleaned, it is necessary to ask for it to the cleaning lady. The table on the balcony is not clean. The telephone in the room serves only for calls in milina. When paying, the owner tries to have cash, it is necessary to insist to pay by credit card. The reception of the hotel is often empty, it is necessary to call by telephone the owner, the number is on the door. Rooms are spacious, except the number 6 which is small, and without kitchen, but with fridge.
