Very nice place at the rocky coast

We had good time here, got an ocean view room with a balcony and it was georgeus. Good swimming options at the rocks but also a very nice pool area with bar. Short walking distance to Naxos restaurants. Also boat rental is nearby which I definitely recommend!

This hotel is full of character with a charming outlook to the sea. It is quiet and next to the archeological gardens. The furniture and furnishings are traditional, artistic and very sicilian. The pool is salt water and always clean. The breakfast room is open with a view towards the sea. The evening dinner is varied with just enough choice and well presented. The staff are friendly and you can access the sea from the hotel with good snorkelling.

Eclectic charm and great views

Hotel was much better than expected. We had a corner suite with a patio and a small balcony. View was spectacular! Bed and pillows comfortable. Breakfast was good and fixed price dinner for 20 euros was a bargain and quite good. Only complaint, the safe in the room was on the floor of closet. You had to go on your stomach to read the numbers and no instructions how to use it.

De kamers waren proper. Geen wifi op de kamer en heel weinig of geen in de openbare ruimtes. Hotel is vervallen . Geen 4 sterren waardig. Pover morgenontbijt. Heel slechte matrassen . Hotel ligt heel afgelegen. Andere hotels in de omgeving reeds gesloten. Slecht onderhouden zwembad . Kapotte stenen rond en in het zwembad. Markabele douche en omkleedhokje. Jacuzzi onbruikbaar. Personeel aan het onthaal niet erg behulpzaam. Enkel de dames die de kamers schoonmaken doen het uitstekend en elke dag propere lakens. Spijtig maar dit hotel mag ook zijn deuren sluiten.

A un passo dal mare

Tutto perfetto: camera pulita e spaziosa, spazi comuni arredati con gusto, posizione strategica sia per visitare naxos sia per spostarsi (se siete con la macchina), gentilezza dello staff e bella piscina.. consiglio a tutti di sfruttare la caletta tra gli scogli a cui si accede direttamente dall’hotel.. una nuotata a mare rigenerante sia la mattina che la sera..

Beautiful hotel with garden on lava rock

We had a great time! The room was clean, not quite like a more luxurious hotel but definitely clean enough! AC worked well but was a bit loud. Staff was very friendly and professional. Amazing balcony!! The decor was amazing, so many pieces of cool aged furniture, really lifted the experience for us. Pool is nice, but note that it is salt water. OK snorkling opportunities in the sea outside the hotel (stairs from lava rock). The hotel was located in a quiet area a short walk from the beach and the center of town, although the walk was a bit exhausting when the temperature was 35 degrees Celcius.
