Fantastic views
Accomodation consists of separate apartment type buildings. Pool area is first class. Breakfast is excellent with various options. Only possible problem may be the walk back to hotel as it is situated up a very extreme hill.

Nice Place except for the Hill Climb!
Everything is Great about this place, especially the view of the Town, except for the 1 Kilometre walk up a Very Steep Hill!! Made me only want to walk down and back into Chora once a day because of it… Hire a Car or Quad bike to commute around the island, you’ll be glad you did!!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Unfortunately despite email communication to the manager prior to arriving, about a transfer to the hotel from the port, nobody arrived to pick us up. There was also no option to pay by card at the hotel which was slightly frustrating. Apart from that, the staff were very accommodating to help my friend with her injured ankle. The pool and area around the hotel were much nicer than in the pictures and there was vegetarian options for breakfast. We did struggle walking to the hotel from the town as it was very steep, so you will probably need to hire an ATV. We would stay here again.

Amazing sunsets overlooking the skyline
This hotel is situated on top of the hill and the view is simply amazing, you'll feel like you're transcended somewhere else. There is a fantastic pool, a small restaurant, free parking, and massage services on site which makes it very convenient to not have to leave the property if you just want to take it easy and relax. It's fairly close to two supermarkets for supplies and also Chora with a number of great restaurants/entertainment, but be prepared for a really steep hike. Also, if you are a light sleeper, you should anticipate you'll hear everything next door. I didn't mind this too much as I was fortunately put in a corner unit and slept like a log from all the great hiking nearby. Finally, the hotel staff are very friendly and helpful. I didn't know about the shuttle service they have from 10am-3pm and they helped squeeze me into catch a last minute ferry - really kind people! Note: Cash only if you are paying at the hotel directly

GREAT LOCATION, FRIENDLY STAFF
This hotel is in a perfect location, a two minute walk to the center of Ios and about a 15 minute walk to the nearest beach. Wonderful swimming pool and bar staff. The concierge team was fantastic, especially Kyriaki who was very knowledgeable and helpful regarding the surrounding area. They gave me a ride back to the ferry station at no charge. The only criticism I have is that the WiFi is very weak but other than that, I would definitely return. I had a fabulous time.

Great experience
Really glad we picked to stay at this hotel. The views are great and is in very close walking distance to the main town. The fact it is NOT near the port was not an issue as they offer free port transfers both there and back. The pool area is great with excellent ‘lounging’ facilities (& views) it also offers a very reasonably Priced pool bar. We opted for breakfast included which we were glad we did as it was quite big selections/portions - 3 pieces of toast, orange juice, tea/coffee, yogurt or fruit, scrambled/hard boiled egg, croissant & selection of spreads! as this is offered until 1pm we thought of it as a brunch and didn’t need anymore food until dinner.

Bello e panoramico
Piccolo hotel sopra la citta di Chora. Grazioso e confortevole. Posizione panoramica e vista mozzafiato sulla piccola citta e sulla baia. La stanza assegnata corrispondeva esattamente a quanto pubblicizzato. Pulizie quotidiane. L'angolo cottura, pur funzionante, non utilizzabile in quanto lo studio non era sufficientemente attrezzato per cucinare qualcosa di più impegnativo della colazione. Inoltre, il tavolino ospitava al massimo 2 coperti nonostante lo studio ospitasse 3 persone. Al netto di ciò, ci siamo trovati benissimo e mi sento di raccomandarlo. Una nota particolare per la piscina: stupenda! Per le cene ci siamo trovati benissimo da Mills, medesima proprietà e raggiungibile a piedi. Il titolare e lo staff gentili e disponibili.
