  • Twice-daily housekeeping service that actually keeps the room feeling fresh
  • Quiet, secluded location in Stelida that feels miles away from the Chora crowds

Quick Take: A lovely boutique hideaway where the 'private beach' is for looking, not swimming.

Reviewed by @itsmollylouise: I honestly didn't want to leave this suite. Waking up, sliding open those glass doors, and having the ocean right there was unforgettable. It’s the perfect spot in Naxos if you want quiet luxury away from the busy town. Definitely book a sea-view suite!

FAQ & Hidden tips

Everything you actually want to know before you book.

Is the beach swimmable?

Technically yes, but it's rocky and pebbly. Most guests drive 5 minutes to Agios Prokopios for swimming.

Do I need a car?

Yes, highly recommended. Taxis are limited and walking to town (4km) is not practical.

Is it good for families?

Yes, there is a children's pool, playground, and the ground floor suites are spacious (up to 51sqm).

How is the breakfast?

Excellent. It's an American buffet but features local Naxian cheeses, homemade pies, and fresh produce.

Is there a gym?

No, there is no on-site gym, though the hotel can arrange outdoor activities like windsurfing or hiking.

Is it noisy from the airport?

Not really. You might hear small prop planes during the day, but the airport closes at night so sleep isn't affected.
