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.

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.

Stayed here in July with my family of 5. Our unit had 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with a kitchenette and dining table and lounge. Was very spacious. Loved the pool of our room ( a proper sized pool and nice temperature) with loungers. The bar was seriously impressive! Breakfast was ok. The eggs were nice. I had better fruit and buffet elsewhere. Service was very good. My recommendation to hotel is to provide better linen sheets and the curtains are too light and the minute the sun comes up you wake up. I would have also liked a full length mirror.

Overall we loved this hotel, but it is not your typical set up. Individual villas make up the property and there is really no lobby, no restaurant (just a room with tables that is pretty much open air so basically very warm). Tiny bar area. No pool area - each villa has their own. It feels very old world. Villa was stark - everything made of stone. Showers had no doors and were very, very hard to regulate. Each time we showered the entire floor of the bathroom got flooded. Pool was really nice, but our villa backed the hotel garden and every afternoon there were workers there harvesting. Also, we felt that the property seemed overgrown in a lot of places. You would expect the upkeep of a property like this to be better. When we arrived the downstairs shower had no hot water, but we mentioned it to Alex, who was our contact the entire time, and he had it fixed immediately. Speaking of Alex by the way - he is incredible. So helpful, so knowledgeable and always so sweet and ready to do anything and everything to make our stay amazing. A very different and unique experience. Would recommend.

Our stay at naxian collection was nothing short of amazing. For starters, the grounds are stunning and well maintained. The room was gorgeous and luxurious. The food was impeccable (we did breakfast every morning, 1 lunch on arrival, and the naxian bbq one night). But the most incredible part is the staff. Alex, Alex, Sophia, Catarina, and the rest that we did not get their names are fantastic. Truly some of the nicest and welcoming people we’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. From the moment we got there, they greeted us with open arms and took care of us our entire stay. Pampered us is a better way to put it. Anything we could possibly need they were able to deliver. Their recommendations were always spot on and their interest in our day was so genuine. We’re going to miss them tremendously but we will absolutely come back. They made Naxos even better than we could have imagined.

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!

Our family of 6 travelled to Greece for the first time in June 2022. The Island of Naxos was recommended to us and we are so glad that we went there and that we stayed at the Naxian Collection! We were warmly welcomed and offered drink as our host sat down with us to explain the property and gave us wonderful recommendations for exploring the island. The entire staff was accommodating and friendly helping us arrange a rental car for a day to explore the mountain villages, ATV's another day to explore the beaches and towns. We enjoyed beautiful rooms with modern amenities, a private pool, delicious breakfasts in an amazing setting. Thank you to everyone at Naxian Collection for making our stay so special. We will be back!
