Perched in a tranquil location at the top of Ouranoupoli, this hospitable hotel has well-kept rooms, satisfying breakfasts, a scattering of photogenic palm trees and beautiful views of the Aegean from its terrace. Look out for signs for Filoxenia shortly after entering Ouranoupoli; it's left, up a steep driveway, 1km before you reach central Ouranoupoli.
