    Exquisitely maintained, very peaceful, with a gorgeous pool area. We also had a cottage (Niniou) overlooking a beautiful and private garden.

    Kitchenette could be equipped with more dishes, utensils, cookware, etc. (e.g., Wine glasses, knives/peelers for cooking, pans, cutting boards etc.). Water pressure was very low and temp a bit tricky to figure out. Internet/Wifi unfortunately not very stable or fast - enough for vacation but not remote work / video calls. Remote location is very nice to escape the mass tourism on Naxos, however, you need a rental/car/quad/etc. to access it.

    Great little agritourism with very clean studio, small kitchenette with fridge, terrace, AC, bathroom with shower. Decoration is minimalistic and very refreshing! Property is well maintained and groomed, including pool area. Due to a little bit remote location on island, it is very quiet and calm - great to relax away from the masses in Naxos. Host, staff and dog were super friendly, lovely and always available on-site or via whatsapp in the afternoons for everything we needed. Trash is taken out every day from the room and room cleaning every second day. Parking free on site available.

    This place is a tranquil haven in the mountains. Loved waking up in the peace and doing yoga in the beautiful gardens. The rooms are lovely and clean and the pool is well kept. The host Evangelia was so helpful - arranging our hire car (at a reduced price compared to the car comparison sites) and teaching my husband Greek with great patience and humour. We will be back. I don't think we can stay away for long!

    Nothing really. If you want to avoid the hustle and bustle of the big places and you don’t mind traveling, it’s a perfect place.

    It is a quiet and beautiful oasis just 10-15 minutes from Naxos town. We visited Palatiana at the beginning of August - the place was lush and green, quiet and really beautiful! The gardens are very well kept and the abundance of flowers and fruits is amazing (the figs are really tasty :)) In the morning you can hear the bells of the goats going up the mountain, the roosters, etc.A bonus was that they had their own water spring which was clean and drinkable - we didn’t need to buy drink water. The houses are very cute and very well furnished, with a small kitchenette if you want to fix quick breakfast/lunch. We were with 2 adults and 2 kids, the room was spacious enough to fit an extra bed for the little one (the older slept on the beautiful couch which is standard in the room), we had a beautiful veranda where we could have breakfast and lunch. The swimming pool is beautiful and there is enough shade from the trees. There is a small village nearby where you can go for dinner and buy some local produce (tomatoes and fruits). There is a beach not more than 1 km away, which is also very beautiful. A car is definitely a must!

    A wonderful place to stay in Naxos! The surroundings are gorgeous and tranquil. Evangelia and her staff were wonderful, and Evangelia has amazing recommendations across the island. You will need a car, as it’s just on the periphery of the center town (and this is a good thing), so that you can explore the island! Also, the breakfast is unbelievable! We hope to come visit again soon!

    The only improvement we would suggest would be a slight enlargement of the kitchen area. We really enjoyed making breakfast for ourselves but the installation was very tight despite there being space for more countertop. But a tiny criticism and irrelevant for anyone who doesn't want to self-cater at all.

    The rooms are spotless and very comfortable. Evangelia, the host, is wonderfully warm and welcoming and nothing is too much trouble for her: whether it's local info or lending a beach umbrella. The pool area is beautiful and it's all too easy to just lounge around rather than explore. We didn't take advantage of the breakfast available but the menu looked fabulous. We did have coffee several times which was great and our daughter devoured the home made cookies.

    Nothing: just make sure you have a rental car (no scooter)! Evangelia even ordered the car for us and had it delivered at the place

    The beautiful surrounding, the comfort of the bed, the variety in breakfast options, the great pool & last but not least: the hospitality!

    Very nice place to stay on Naxos island in a quite area, yet close to a village with nice restaurants and only 10 min drive away from Naxos town. The cottages have a lot of charm and the swimming pool is very nice. Most importantly, all the advice provided by Evangelia (host) was very useful for all the nice things to do, places to see and where to eat across the whole island!

    It's a bit far from the pier but not too far. Perfect if you want peace and tranquility. You should definitely get a car. The staff at the hotel can help with that!

    Best breakfast I've had in all of Greece! They grow their own fruits and veggies I believe so everything is fresh. There's so much taste in each bite. Please don't skip breakfast! The area is super quiet and peacefully surrounded by beautiful gardens with a great mountain view. Check-in was super simple despite booking at 10pm- they left the keys for me and were always super easy to reach.

    A lovely accommodation, surrounded by a beautifully planted garden. Nice swimming pool. The host is incredibly nice and serves a wonderful breakfast upon demand. It is a walk of about 25 minutes over a small country road to a good and quiet beach. The taverna in the nearby village serves very good food.
