Ortansia | Apartment in Dimitsana, Peloponnese

Positive: I cannot imagine a better place to stay in Arcadia than the cousy and comfortable Ortansia. The appartment is extremely well equipped, even for the four of us, and the beds super comfortable. The location in Dimitsana is fantastic, just few steps away from the busy and more noisy centrum and a perfect basis to visit the monasteries and hike the beautiful Louisios Gorge, or walk in the forests. But the best of all is the extremely warm welcome, the good communication with Chrisi and her personal attention. We highly recommend this appartment and we look forward to come back and continue exploring this beautiful and less visited Greek region.

Positive: Everything was perfect! Clean, comfortable place at a great location!

Positive: Cute, clean, nicely decorated modern apartment; well-equipped kitchen; friendly English speaking owner; Greek mother-in-law lives on site and brought us sweets; beautiful terrace with lots of colorful flowers; balcony with mountain view and afternoon sun; lots of street parking nearby; location in town.

Negative: Smallish in size with not a lot of extra space

Positive: 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.

Negative: Nothing!

Positive: very comfy appartment, good location, nice terrace, little treats in the kitchen

Negative: ugly house from outside

Positive: We were one night on Ortansia guesthouse. The room was very clean, cosy and welcoming. The kitchen was well organized, clean dishes, coffee machine and snacks. The shower was also very clean, hot water was great! We arrived quit late and the communication with Chrisi was very easy and fast. The guesthouse has very convenient parking place.
