Hotels near Pottery Limpertas Manolis, Naxos

Faultless from check in to check out. I arrived from Athens by plane and got a taxi to Home Sweet Naxos, which was just €20. On arrival I was greeted by a lovely lady on reception who gave me some water and some local Greek sweets. She informed me that the owner had decided to upgrade my apartment of which she guided the way to the room. The apartment was on the second floor (there’s no lift, but my bags weren’t overly heavy so no issue). The apartment was huge, with 2 bedrooms and another room with a sofa bed. Large living area with a massive balcony off it and a further two off the two bedrooms. Breakfast was brought to the room in the mornings at a prearranged time. On the first morning I needed to leave before 8 as I was booked on a boat excursion. Once they knew this they went out of their way to bring me breakfast for 7:20, when breakfast only starts at 8, so that I wouldn’t miss out. Breakfast was plentiful and included breads, cereal, homemade cake, coffee and juice. The day before I was due to check out I asked if it was possible for a late check out as I was catching an afternoon ferry. I wanted ti be able to go to the beach in the morning and to shower before I left. This was no problem at all and I was offered a lift down to the ferry port. I was going to have a bit of a wander beforehand so left my case and would return for it later. The owner arranged to meet me at the port with my case, so that I wouldn’t have to walk back for it. There are a couple of supermarkets nearby and the port and beaches are just a short walk away. I had the most amazing stay and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend or come and stay again. I was show nothing but kindness and generosity. Thank you so much!

My sister and I had a fabulous time staying at Evilion. It’s a great location, 5-15 minute walk to everything you need. And the room was great: big, beautiful, and well-maintained, with a wonderfully comfy bed (a true blessing after a long day’s hike up Mount Zas, I can tell you). The highlight, however, was the manager/owner, Nektarios. Not only did he pick us up from the port, but along the way gave us a helpful tour of the town so we knew our way around. After he showed us to our room, he brought us watermelon grown on his father’s farm, and ice cold, homemade lemonade. Wherever the fruit was from, it was delicious, and very welcome after a day of traveling. He’s of course very knowledgeable about the town and the island in general, and gave us great tips about the most interesting villages to explore and the best restaurants to eat at. He made our short stay in Naxos an absolute pleasure and we definitely hope to come back again (fingers crossed we’ll also be able to stay at the Evilion) to explore this beautiful island in a lot more depth.

I only stayed in the small island of Naxos for one night and chose the hotel Astir of Naxos. It takes about 25 minutes to walk from the port to the hotel. It is better to walk along the small road on the other side of the sea. The road is relatively flat and there is no need to climb up and down. The hotel is about 5 minutes away from the large sandy beach Agios Georgios Beach and the 2-storey Super Market Koutelieris. It is said that this is the largest supermarket in Greece 🇬🇷, where you can buy a lot of food produced in Greece. Here I bought Greek biscuit bars, coffee powder and honey from Coffee Island, a large chain coffee shop in Greece. When checking in, the hotel gave us a glass of alcoholic lemon welcome drink. The staff is also very friendly. They gave us a map, patiently explained the nearby places to go, and gave us the bus schedule. The hotel is 2 floors high and there is no elevator 🛗. It will be a bit painful to live on the 2nd floor with large luggage. The room design is very environmentally friendly ♻️. At first, I thought the air conditioner was broken and couldn't be turned on. When I walked to the reception, the staff asked me if I had closed the window, and she said that I had to close the window first to turn on the air conditioner. I find it odd that she said that. then she Come to the room to demonstrate, and sure enough, the windows are closed tightly, and the air-conditioning is turned on! This is the first time I have seen a hotel room with this design! So special! There are 3 single beds in the room, which are so wide that you can open 2 large suitcases at the same time. There is a small terrace with 2 chairs 🪑 and a table, which can look out to the street outside the hotel, which is open but not worth admiring. The bathroom is like other Greek hotels, with a small piece of tank glass, and the water will splash and wet the whole bathroom when taking a shower. Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, etc. are available in small bottles of the Fillos of Sea Nature brand. The overall feeling of the room is a bit old, but clean and reasonable. The hotel has a swimming pool, but it is not a heated pool. When I went in June, the water was still a bit freezing. Breakfast is provided and can be enjoyed by the pool. There are not many food choices, and the taste is just so-so, but it is enough to fill the stomach and has my favorite Greek yoghurt. --------- Astir of Naxos 📬Saint-George-Beach, Naxos 843 00, Greece #astirofnaxos #naxos #GreeceHotel #Greece #Greece Travel #Greece Free Travel #followmetoGreece #Hotel Evaluation

What a fantastic break we had at this superb hotel in Naxos. The reception team deserve a special mention for their help with local recommendations & going out of their way to ensure everything was perfect for us especially Konstantinos & Elainie who were amazing. The pool was ideal & never too busy though there was a large group of families who tended to put their towels on the beds several hours before they actually appeared at the pool after it had opened which caused a bit of frustration with some of the other guests. The hotel location was perfect as it was only a few minutes away from both the sandy beach & the main square. Breakfast was served at the sister hotel next door which offered a great selection of both hot & cold options & the facilities at this hotel were available to use & were equally impressive. The rooms were fresh & clean with modern facilities & well maintained though we did find them a little on the small side with nowhere to put your case after unpacking it but the beds were really comfortable. We had a fantastic holiday & would have no hesitation in recommending the Galaxy Hotel.

We were so fortunate to spend two weeks at Ippokampos. It was probably our best holiday yet which is subjective but we have travelled a lot. Ippokampos is all about the location and yes you pay for it but you get it. Just a gentle 10 minutes from the centre of Town passing so many shops and restaurants along the way that you don’t notice the short trip. The rooms are quite basic so don’t expect any frills. There is a supermarket just 50 metres away to get whatever you need. For us the real stars, apart form the fantastic location, was the Assistant Manager, Loannis, who was everywhere pretty much night and day making sure that things happened. In the restaurant, Dimitra made breakfast each day something to look forward to. She is another of the super staff that worked tirelessly to make the holiday one to remember. George at the sun beds was a delight to chat to. In the words of the Hollywood star – we will be back!

Very nice family managing the hotel. After a terrible experience in Hotel Sagterra, where we checked out earlier due to lack of conditions and rudeness of the staff, we found this lovely place managed by a very positive and nice family who tried their best to change the image we unfortunately received from Naxos. The breakfast was amazing, all hand made with care and love. The lady cook was incredible, very sweet and polite. The gentleman at the door received us with a local liqueur. Everything was very clean and light! Next to the beach and 3 minutes walk from the port. Nice location.
