At the top of the hill! Easy walk into town and back (assuming you can do a non-stop incline or decline) and a very pleasant stroll onto the slopes of Olympus to begin your ascent. Very quick drive to the Aegean as well, very pleasant and I couldnt have been happier!

Great hotel
Beautiful hotel in great location, although a little hard to find! This was our last stop on a 2 week tour around Greece and it was only one of two places we stayed at which didn’t have tea and coffee making facilities in the room...bit of a disappointment for us. But on the whole would recommend it.

Great hotel at foot of Mt. Olympus
great, old-fashioned, beautifully kept hotel at the foot of Mt. Olympus. Staff wonderful. breakfast fantastic. The whole town of Litohoro lies at about a 45 degree angle, so plenty of walking up and downhill. Charming town, people and hotel. dogs wander streets and goats wander up Mt. Olympus.

We got stuck with road closures and the staff waited up for us past their normal closing hours. They were also very patient with us when we locked ourselves out of our room. The breakfast was great. The staff/owners were great. I highly recommend. One piece of advice. Google maps (2018) gives terrible directions through the town. Look at the map before driving up. You can stay on the main road into town almost the entire way up.

Great bed and breakfast at the base of Mt. Olympus
Litochoro is a great base for exploring/hiking Mt. Olympus, and To Palio is the best bed and breakfast in this adorable little village. The host, Sarkis, now has directional signs posted from the town centre all the way up the hill to the location of To Palio- as you can get a bit turned around. You can walk right from the hotel to a few of the hikes that are actually entering Mt. Olympus National Park. It is also only 10 minutes to several beaches on the Aegean Sea, and only a half hour or so to Dion (ancient ruins), and about an hour to Vergina (royal tombs of Phillip II). Easy on and off of the E-75 highway. Many restaurants, from white tablecloth to fast take out gyros. A beautiful Greek Orthodox church in the center of town. Not much shopping, but that's not what you'd come here for, anyway.

Perfect place to stay!!
First, the owner, Sakis, was waiting for us when we arrived despite it being about 8:00pm. There was a fire in lobby fireplace, and we sat on the soft leather couch while he checked us in and explained a little about the hotel and town. He helped us with our bags up to our beautiful room, and provided a great recommendation for dinner. We were staying here for only one night with the purpose of climbing Mt. Olympus the next day. It just so happened that Sakis was a guide at one time so he took out his map and provided us with some very very helpful information about climbing the mountain. Because we wanted to get an early start he offered to make breakfast for us at 7 instead of the usual 8am start time. Breakfast was amazing!! A simple breakfast but with very fresh ingredients including eggs from Sakis' chickens, and marmalades made by his wife. Couldn't have asked for anything better. The only downside to this hotel is that we couldn't stay longer. Perfect in every way. I would have paid double what we did.

Beautiful guest house in gorgeous mountain village
Great staff. Great breakfast. Beautiful, well appointed decorating. This gem is a lovely place to stay and the area is full of close by areas to enjoy outdoor activities. The archeological sites of Dion and the old St. Dionysious Monestary are very interesting and the hiking is incredible. This beautiful guest house is recently constructed with all the modern amenities you would expect. The guest house is located at the periphery of the village, at the top, but is within a nice walk to the village center, about 10 minutes away. It is quiet and the views from most rooms is of the mountains above. My only complaint is that the bathroom lighting was a bit dim, but the bathroom fixtures are otherwise first rate. A wonderful stay, and when in Greece, I will definitely stay at this hotel again.

Great, countryside feel hotel
The hotel is very beautiful, definetely worth the stay. It had a countryside feel to it, as it was made from rock and big cabin style wooden beams. It even had an extra bed in the attic which although a bit inconvenient to get up cause of ladder, still added to the feel of the hotel. The location although hard to find and than to get back to main road, is perfect if you are visiting the area to see and hike mount Olympus. The only cons apart from difficult to find was that although I have travelled a lot and I've booked many hotels through orbitz, this was the first time that the hotel did not charge me when I booked but rather it was asking for money at checkout. This did create a bit of mixup as I thought I already had paid (as this has always been the case in past) for the room and even the confirmation email from orbitz said I was all set, just like every other time

We stayed here during our honeymoon and really enjoyed it. Zakis, the owner was really friendly and was very helpful during our stay. The place is beautiful and very welcoming. Its also a great location if you want to hike up Mount Olympus. Breakfast was also very delicious. We would highly recommend this place.

Fantastic place. Beautiful room and location.
Sakis stayed up very late to let us check in due to our flight coming in late, and he was really great throughout. This is a lovely place to stay - really beautiful and very high quality throughout - it really felt like a much more expensive place. So many nice touches, like the breakfasts, which included fresh eggs from Sakis's chickens, and spanakopita made by his grandmother! We were really blown away by the quality all round, especially for the price we paid. Very, very, highly recommended.

Steps from Mt. Olympus
We walked out the door of our room and onto the mountain. Sakis was a wonderful host. On our first morning, the breakfast consisted of phyllo pastries with greens his grandmother gathered from the mountain, eggs from his chickens, jam his wife made. On the last, it was Greek yogurt made with sheep's cheese from a local creamery. Our rooms were charming, the architecture of the place was lovely.

Boutique hotel, close to the mountain
Very nice stay at To Palio, it looks an feels luxurious. It is placed in the upper part of Litochoro, near the mountain, so it is a quiet and relaxing place. The ground floor rooms have direct access from outside, from a nice porch. Internet connection is good. The breakfast is definitely not five stars, vegetables are totally missing even in mid season when they are cheap to buy.

Excellent!
Highly recommended! This place ranks among the top B&B's we've stayed at — ever. And we travel worldwide all year long. This is a family run B&B consisting of 8 rooms. The appearance is "old" or traditional style. But the fact is the structure is quite new. The structural presentation is impeccable inside and out. The owners have thought of everything in terms of detail. Breakfast features home made goodies — all fresh from Litochoro. Owner Sakis is a terrific and helpful host. Finding this place can be a bit tricky. Litochoro offers narrow one way streets that can be a bit confusing to navigate. Follow the directions of other guest reviewers here to find it.

Beautiful Bed and Breakfast
This Bed and Breakfast is one of the best I've ever stayed at. The host/owner was wonderful - kind greetings, strong English, homemade breakfast every morning. The room was spacious and clean, though the bed was extremely firm and there was only a sheet (no additional blankets). The location is at the top of the town, so there is an uphill walk to get there, but we found the hike worth it.

The hotel has a very nice design. Our room was clean and beautifully decorated. The staff was very friendly and they serve an excellent breakfast. The hotel is located in a quite part of the town and the peace is all around you. However there are lots of opportunities for various activities: from mountain hiking to resting on nearby popular and very beautiful beaches.
