Naxian Collection - Small Luxury Hotel of the World

We had reserved a room for 6 nights but left after 1 day: I had totally overlooked one tiny detail in the room presentation … “semi-shared” pool. So we were basically sharing our unit’s pool with our next door neighbors. If you swam 4 meters to the other end of the pool you’d be facing their own door, window and small patio. The pool being right off our 2 doors. Not at all the privacy and quiet that we were imagining upon reserving, reassured by the 650 EUR night rate. We basically felt besieged in our own room (which was large and came with a hip, modern design and super comfy bedding). Also, the house we were in also came, alongside our “pool-sharers”, with noises from another unit above: very poor noise insulation. After we complained, the hotel owner (whom we never met although I’m pretty sure he was sitting on the bar’s sofa when we left), proposed a deal (via the very polite manager) which we took, but averaging out the hefty total amount this was (easily) the most expensive hotel night I ever paid for (far above Maldivian levels). As for the view, yes we saw the sea in the distance but there was also another hotel unit smack in the middle of it, below ours (see pic). Friendly staff, delicious fresh and light food but again, not at all what we had in mind and absolutely not worth the price. You’ll be fine if you reserve full villas, but they’re quite close to one another, do expect noise from your neighbors. This being July in Greece, we felt very lucky to find another accommodation with a real, unobstructed seaview. And 0 noise. And a pool fully to ourselves. But I regret my money bitterly and this sad saga perturbed our vacation and very much dented my trust in Small Luxury Hotel offerings.

Hotel is beautiful. The service is top notch. However, you need to take a taxi everywhere. If accommodating. ooking g for a relaxing time this is the place to be. Good liquor selection and a 20 to 30 walk to the beach. Their on call taxi driver Petro is the best and very informative accomdating. Their tour guide Costas is extremely knowledgeable and helpful and will greet you with a smile. I'm forgetting his name but the waiter is the most humble and gracious man I've met my entire trip.

The Naxian Collection villas are amazing! We had the best best time! Our family of five had a two-floor villa with a private pool and amazing views. The staff were incredible. Very kind, attentive and knowledgeable. They made us feel welcome and I especially enjoyed our delicious morning breakfasts to get our day started. I also enjoyed my time at the bar with Alex! The owner is on the property regularly and interacts with the guests and makes sure all are having a great time! We will definitely be coming back in the future. Highly recommended!

This is not a luxury hotel as advertised. The shower had mold all over the floor. The chair in the bedroom was peeling and was getting all over my clothes. The oven has no door on it. The linens need to be updated. Do not stay here!

The service at this villa-hotel is exemplary. Alex was very helpful throughout our stay and the other women at the front area were also very friendly. We stayed in a two bedroom villa with pool that was spacious and the beds were very comfortable. Breakfast each morning was adequate. Nothing exemplary, but not too basic. Pros: - the service and staff - spacious villa - private pool Cons: - a drive away from Chora, the beach, restaurants, villages, etc. You either need a rental car or taxi anytime you want to go out. - very limited storage in the villa. No drawers. We lived out of our suitcases. - pool was borderline cold even though it was very hot outside - we visited August 20-23. We still jumped in and swam and found the pool a nice break from the heat- but it was a few degrees cooler than “refreshing”. They should invest in heaters for the pools and it would be a game changer. - staff was hanging around and smoking right at a doorway directly next to our pool. I’m not sure if this door was staff quarters or a maintenance room, but it was weird that it was right on our property and staff was in and out when we were by our pool. Overall, we had a lovely stay but not sure we would return. We just prefer properties that are a walk away from something - whether it is the beach/town/restaurants/etc.

Alex, that checked us in was over the top accommodating. Arranged transfers, car rental, beach cabanas, took the time to show us on the map points of interest and gave us advice throughout the trip. He’s so passionate about Naxos and sharing it with us. Accommodations were also phenomenal. Hope to go back again

Small boutique gem on Naxos island. We found this hotel purely by default after switching from another hotel. Georgia the hotel manager is absolutely amazing and incredibly accommodating. She literally turned a bad experience into a lovely amazing stay at The Naxian collection. If you appreciate a fine boutique hotel experience stay here without question. You will not be disappointed.

We stayed at the Naxion Collection for 4 nights and were looked after from the moment we arrived with very friendly and efficient staff, who to be honest couldn’t do enough for you. Georgia was a super host and knew exactly how to look after everyone. So here it is, Naxian is undoubtedly a very nice place to stay, informal, and has Greek charm along great food. Set up high with views of the castle and port. 10 mins by taxi to the local town and the beach 15 mins walk with local bars and restaurants and it’s a great place to spend the day and also have dinner. Thank you Naxion Collection.
