The building is amazing the view breathtaking

authentic, beautiful, scenic, serene

plumbing on milos in general could be better (not specific to this hotel)

Staff was very accommodating when things came up. The view was breathtaking. A perfect and private spot to watch the sunset, so you don't have to deal with the crowds. The little touches, such as robes, slippers and juice in fridge, made us feel welcome and pampered.

There are a lot of steps you have to walk up in order to get to Castrum. As long as you're prepared for this, you should be good.

The house is situated in the most beautiful spot, offering the opportunity to watch incredible sunsets right from your own private space. It was an absolutely magical experience every evening! The hosts were incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was amazing. They assisted us with everything from car rentals to restaurant recommendations and even arranged boat trips for us. Their hospitality made our stay even more enjoyable and totally stress-free. The apartment itself is very new and beyond beautiful. It combines modern amenities with traditional Greek style. While the path leading to the house is upwards, it's really nothing to worry about. The steps are easy to manage, and if needed, the hosts are more than willing to help with bringing baggage to the house. Overall, I highly recommend this apartment in Plaka. The location, the hosts, and the beautiful accommodations make it a perfect choice for anyone looking to experience the best of Milos. We can't wait to return!

Best view you can ever get in Milos! Will never forget 270 degree panorama ocean view from the bed

It is on the hill/mountain, so the walk up is quite a hike. But I appreciated the hotel staff carrying all of our luggages back and forth

The view is stunning! I imagine it is the best view from a hotel in Milos. The apartment itself was beautiful. The decor is done perfectly. We actually used the kitchen to cook a nice dinner with a bottle of wine and watch the sunset from the balcony. It was actually one of the highlights of our trip. The apartment was spotless!!! The cleaners do a real good job cleaning and they was super friendly it was always a pleasure saying hello as they have the biggest smiles on their faces. It’s located in Plaka which is probably the nicest area of Milos, a lovely old town village that gives Santorini/mykonos vibes. There are a few lovely restaurants, one of them seems to dominate the whole area, foods ok nothing special tho. If we ever return to Milos we will definitely book to stay here again! It’s incredible value and pure beauty.

The location of this hotel is at the top of the hill which can’t be reached by car and is steep in some areas. If you have a problems walking or are extremely unfit then it wouldn’t be suitable. It is hard work but defo worth it if you are capable. The other issue which I’m not sure is a problem for much of the year is the wind. Obviously uncontrollable by the owners but the wind does howl through the shutters/windows as it’s a very old building and within keeping. I would just suggest taking some ear plugs if it’s supposed to be windy during your stay for when you sleep. We stayed in June.

Location, location, location! The host joked that you could watch the sunset from the bed—he wasn't joking :).

Moreso a reality of making this intimate space available to guests—the parking and walk up to the property was more difficult than anticipated, even with the warnings. Parking is very limited during early evening to after sunset. Walk up may not be the most enjoyable in sunlight, even for someone moderately active. Climbing the 50 steps will take 5-10min for a fit individual without luggage.

The sunset was our favorite part about this place. we were at Santorini before that and saw the sunset as well there, but this one was magical and something else! We felt like we were staying at a castle at the top of the hill. Even though we had to walk up 55 steps with our luggage to get to our room, it was very worth it! Also, Frank was very helpful and friendly. He offered help with our luggage and gave us a bottle of local red wine to drink while watching the sunset.

It would get hot at night, but with fans and keeping some windows open, it was doable.

Surely this place has the most stunning views in Milos! Try to stay at the deluxe doble room with sea view, it's the best! You will enjoy of the enchanting sunsets here... an unforgetable experience! These old building at the castle hill has been recently renovated with the charming cyclacid style that makes it unique. Besides its gorgeus views to the Aegean Sea and Plaka itself, what I like the most in the room is its elegant vintage bed. Despite all the stairs we had to climb our stay was very comfortable and we would come back for sure!

Because of the staircaise walk to Castrum maybe it is not the best place to stay for anyone who has difficulty climbing hills or steps. There is no air-conditioning, only a ceiling fan that it's not enough for the hottest nights in the island. The closures on the windows and balcony doors do not fit properly and when it's windy (frequently in Milos) makes an annoying noise.
