Pirgos Stelida Hotel

If you're looking for a place close to town, this is not the place. But if you're looking for a comfortable place to relax ON THE BEACH, this is the ideal place. It is relatively secluded, i.e., there isn't a property immediately next door on either side. It is a great place to sit either on your porch or in the restaurant, which is a large patio area open on 3 sides but covered, to sip wine, drink beer, or have a coffee. The service is fantastic and Haido (spelling?), the woman who ran the place, was wonderful! She was always charming and helpful doing her best to make us comfortable and feel welcome. On two occasions she had us driven into town, usually a 15 Euro taxi ride. The breakfast, which was included for us, was pretty good and was a full one, not just what we in America call a continental. We also had at least one dinner and it was very good (the Octopus and fish were great!). We had our own porch area from which we could sit and watch the ocean. From the open air restaurant, one can watch the sun set. The patio faces the sea and one can see the Island of Paros just a short distance away. Like all of the hotel rooms we stayed at in Greece, when you took the key out, the electricity stopped meaning you couldn't charge your devices or keep the room cool. The air conditioning was a little under powered but it kept the room reasonably cool during Greece's hottest spell since 1987. The room was clean and the sheets and towels were changed every day. The bed was reasonably comfortable and the room size was comparable to other hotels we stayed at. There was a place on our porch to hang our laundry. There were umbrellas and lounge chairs on the beach sand and there were several other places to sit and relax on the way to the beach (it is beach front but it is a large front) one of which is featured in the stock photos. I recommend the Pirgos Stelida particularly if you are on Naxos to relax.

I could affirm without hesitation that it is located in the best spot in the island. Any five star super luxury hotel would kill to have a place as well located, calm and away from the noise of the island. This, of course, means you should rent a car in Naxo's harbor, but any small simple car would do, as It takes less than 10 minutes driving to get there. Simple, super quiet and, by far, with the best sunset of the island. You can enjoy the view of the sea from the terrace of the restaurant, from or the benches at the edge of the rocks touching the waves or even at the small private beach only accessible to the guests. In terms of amenities, the hotel meets all functional needs: reasonably good wifi connection, clean rooms, clean bathroom, clean and tidy bedrooms and a small yet functional kitchen where you can prepare something quick if you don't fancy going out to town. Of course, don't expect high luxury facilities; however, with the price you're paying it is as good as it can get. Aside from the small terraces most of the rooms have, you will spend most of the time in the hotel at the terrace. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are comprised of fresh products. The menu is quite limited product-wise, but that is what you should expect when the fish is brought daily straight from the harbor. The lady managing the place takes care of everything with a charming and warming personality. Such a great host. If I had to make constructive criticism, I would just say: - The next big investment that should be made is a renovation of some of the rooms. Again, they are perfectly functional and comfortable. Just and advise to get to the next level - A couple of umbrellas and chairs in the private beach would give it the perfect touch. - If I had one small, spoiled and stupid criticism: please offer fresh orange juice in the mornings for breakfast! All in all, a fantastic experience. Indeed, after visiting the whole island, it is, by far, the best hotel in Naxos

This is a great place to stay with lovely views and pleasant rooms. We went in October when the restaurant was closed but breakfast was great. Care is needed with access to the property as the roads (track) is very poor but it was worth it. The private beach is a bit difficult to find but I'm not really interested in beaches anyhow. Lovely lady that looks after the property.
