Elaia Retreat Naxos

The property is in a brilliant location for exploring the island by car. The main town is 15 minutes away, the historic Temple of Demeter is 10 minutes from the door and you can get to amazing beaches around the island very easily. The host, Kiriaki, was there to meet us when we arrived and always at the other end of a WhatsApp if we needed anything, and someone came during the day to clean and tidy while we were out, providing new towels. They even left local treats for us on arrival and on a couple of occasions during our stay. The hosts were amazing, honestly. So dilligent, kind and thoughtful, with everything we needed provided, including washing detergent and dishwasher liquid. Every room has an air con unit but we used them for heat rather than cooling, as we arrived when temperatures were low.

We were the first guests of the season (arrived 29 March) and there was a storm that dropped saharan sand everywhere. Our hosts arrived the next day to clean up, including draining the pool, but expect the weather to be unpredictable that early, and for the pool to be chilly. We did go for a dip when the warm sun came out at the end of our stay but you have to be brave! The pool area doesn't catch the evening sun as it sets on the other side of the property. It's also a little exposed from the road.

Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit in diesem sehr geschmackvoll eingerichteten Haus. Alles ist sehr sauber. Die Terrassen laden zum Verweilen ein. Die Gastfreundschaft der Besitzer ist nicht zu übertreffen! Man braucht definitiv einen Mietwagen, aber damit ist man innerhalb von 20 min an tollen Stränden oder in Naxos Stadt. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Uns hat es nicht gestört, aber das Haus liegt direkt an einer Kreuzung, das geht aus den Fotos nicht hervor.

Nous avons beaucoup aimé notre séjour chez Elaia Retreat Naxos. La maison est très jolie et bien décorée, conforme aux photos. La literie est très confortable. La piscine et la terrasse sont très agréables. Dimitri qui s'est occupé de nous était très prévenant, nous a apporté des transats supplémentaires, a été très disponible pour régler le moindre problème. Le ménage était fait tous les jours, ce qui était très agréable.

Nous avons moins aimé le fait que la maison est à proximité de la route, ce qui provoque un peu de bruit. Les passants ont vue sur la terrasse et la piscine ce qui peut être un peu gênant. Il manquait aussi un peu d'ustensiles de cuisine pour pouvoir se faire à manger.

Willa spektakularna, dla dwóch osób pełen luksus. Wyposażona we wszytko co można sobie wymarzyć. Wspaniały grill i duży basen

Całe dobre wrażenie prysło jak bańka mydlana podczas opuszczania przez nas obiektu. Już o 10:30 pojawiły się trzy panie sprzątające, które głośno zaznaczyły swoją obecność. O 10:45, kiedy zaczęliśmy wynosić nasze walizki, dwie z nich od razu weszły do domu, mimo tego że mieliśmy w nim jeszcze swoje rzeczy. Kultura nakazuje poczekać aż goście się wyprowadzą i wejść ze spokojem zaraniem już po ich wyprowadzce. Tym bardziej, że poinformowałem właścicielkę że będziemy robić check out przed godziną 11:00 Bardzo duży minus…

The stay at Elaia Retreat was an absolute blessing. The host was extremely helpful and enthusiastic. The house was spectacular, the BBQ was lovely, we cooked often, and everything was perfect. All of our desires were tended to. We were 5 people and it was brilliant. The bathroom was great, the beds were fantastic the outdoor eating area was glorious. Honestly I would give everything an 11 out of 10 if I could.

There was nothing not to like. One unfortunate thing we were unable to disconnect from our devices and the internet was a touch spotty (we were the first of the season) But the host was super responsive at all times of the day and immediately called in the technician who promptly fixed it. Don't be like us! Disconnect and enjoy the perfection that was the Elaia Retreat in Naxos.

The property is beautiful, so clean, well set up. It has everything you need and the hosts do a wonderful job at keeping it tidy during your stay as they clean every day
