Viraggas Traditional Hotel

Strong is the temptation to keep for myself this wonderful guesthouse. Lover of nature, authenticity, architecture, history, or just desperate for a refreshing place will fall in love with this house.

Although the hotel owners were pleasant and helpful in every respect, we were disappointed with several things about our stay there. We know people have different preferences to bed hardness/ softness, but we found them to be very hard and slept badly. We realised from the description that The hotel was in traditional Marcedonia style but the bathrooms were very dark and the lighting hardly sufficient to wash and shave.The lounge area for guests to relax in is like a museum and difficult to relax in as even the coffee table etc had antique pieces on you were worried about moving. As for the closest beach being 15minutes away…a joke. If you stick to speed limits i would say more like 30 minites. When booking this holiday the description told us the swimming pool (Plunge pool) would not be open for the first 5 Days of our 12 day holiday….the pool was not filled till the day before we left! If we had known this we would definitely have not booked this holiday! Finally if you book a meal at this hotel, try and get an estimate first as you wont normally know the cost till after you have had your meal and for us they were the most expensive meals we had during our stay! Really surprised and a little suspicious it has such good reviews!

I read other visitors accounts and booked this hotel for three nights. The place is special, the hosts gracious and the vibe is friendly. I recommend wholeheartedly. When it turned out I’d forgotten an item at the hotel the owner came to Thessaloníki and handed it to me in the reception of the hotel I was staying at. Now that is more than ordinary service and kindness! Thank you!

We had a very pleasant stay at Viraggas mansion. It's a charming and quiet place with a very delicious home made prepared breakfast (pancakes and fresh orange juice are the highlights). Thank you for your hospitality!

Vraggas mansion is so unique tucked away in the village of Vrastrama far away from the crowded beaches of Sithonia. It’s been beautifully and tastefully restored by Visalis who along with Alena are 2 most amazing, helpful and kind hosts The rooms are large and full of charm we had one with a private terrace with just the sound of their own chickens nearby. From the first moment we entered and were greeted by Tommy their dog we knew we were at home. Breakfasts are amazing with each day Visalis preparing a little treat and always a fresh egg included. We dined in the evening and had 2 superb meals which couldn’t be faulted. The village which you can walk to has a couple of tavernas one of which we went to and had a typical Greek meal ( not a patch on the ones cooked by Visalis though) Such a special place we felt so sad to leave as it was so comfortable and peaceful. We wish our hosts well they have created something really unique and went out of their way to make our stay so perfect Thank you both
