Villa Adriana Hotel

The team at Villa Adriana made us feel very welcome. We had two rooms - both had moderate cooking capability (fridge, hob, crockery and cutlery etc). One apartment had a fabulous balcony with views out to the beach - it was superb the other was a bit smaller and didn’t have quite the living space. The only drawback was a lack of storage space to unpack into. We had excellent breakfasts every day - prepared by the owner - who was entertaining company. The hotel is 10-15 mins walk from the beach and 5-10 mins from the restaurants (although there is one about 100m away). Would thoroughly recommend.

Stayed at Adriana hotel at August 2023. I really liked it. Room is modern with one of the most stylish and cozy decoration I’ve ever seen. Staff excellent and the rooms very clean. Didn’t ate breakfast or used the pool so I can’t comment on those. Keep in mind that the distance to Agios Prokopios beach is around 700 meters something not easy to walk during a hot summer day…… For the right price I undoubtedly suggest Adriana hotel.

Just stayed for a week, to echo many of the comments the place is very clean and functional, pool is spotless and never too busy. The owner is a lovely man and very helpful as are the ladies on reception. The road down to town is a little dicey but ok. I would def use Adriana again. Some tips. If arriving on ferry have a taxi booked or hire car as there are not many and its a bun fight. Taxi 25 euro. Same going back to Mykonos as even busier, leave 3 hours before your flight as traffic terrible. I would hire a car (motonaxos) and drive to the many secluded beaches, highlight was Moutsouna on west coast (which had lovey fish tavern and great drive through mountains) and hawaii beach. Best meal was meze meze in Naxos town, the local tavernas are average on the whole but naxos town has free parking on outskirts and loads of options and is very stylish.

We have just returned from 7 nights staying at Villa Adriana. I don’t always get around to writing reviews but wanted to make an effort for this one. I had booked in March and then read a few negative reviews so wanted to share our positive experience. I was travelling as a single Mum with two children aged 8 and 11. This small hotel is run by a very hardworking local family. The reception staff are very friendly and helpful. The cleaning and maintenance team are really friendly and very careful to clean your rooms at the most convenient time for you. They ensured we always had fresh towels and even brought pool towels to the pool for us to ensure we didn’t miss out. The room was beautifully designed, clean and well kitted out. Beds were really comfortable. The small balcony overlooking the pool and with views to the sea was perfect for relaxing. The kitchenette had everything we needed for our stay and the bathroom with incredible shower was perfect. The room was fitted with Air con which worked really well. We didn’t see a single mosquito (my kids normally get eaten alive!) but the hotel had provided a plug in deterrent and had fly screens if needed. The pool was perfect for us and was partially in shade all morning, which was ideal in such hot temperatures. Most of the time we had it to ourselves. It felt very peaceful. The location was far enough from the main resort to be really quiet and relaxing. The resort is a short walk away and the beach approximately 10mins walk. We found a perfect shortcut (right out of hotel, right onto main road and next right at the brow of the hill) which took us off the busy road and down a track to a quieter part of Agios Prokopios beach. The beach is perfect for all ages and there are plenty of lifeguards so feels very safe. There is a nearby supermarket which is well stocked (including a wide selection of gluten free and dairy free options) and also nearby bakery selling fresh pastries, bread and cakes daily. The bakery also has a coffee and fresh juice bar for take always. There are plenty of bars, restaurants and shops within walking distance from the hotel and the bus stop into Naxos town is only 2 mins walk and 2 Euros a ticket. We hired a car for 5 days to explore the island. Highlights were playing in the crashing waves at Hawaii beach, early evening drinks with incredible views at Rotunda in the mountains, catching the sunset at The Temple of Apollo in Naxos Town, learning about Olive Oil making at Eggares and snorkelling at the Amitis beach nearby.

The worst accommodation ever I wouldn’t recommended at all. The owner was very abusive to the staff in the reception and to the housekeeping staff. I have never experienced anything like that before I couldn’t wait to leave. I really felt sorry for the younger lady that cleaned our room. I found out later that she left because she couldn’t cope anymore being abused by the owner. The rooms are very small and the mattresses were horrible.

We know Villa Adriana for two decades now - and we can say: It's just perfect! Lovely and authentic people, perfect service, beautiful and absolutely clean rooms, familiar atmosphere, ... Thank you guys - you make us feel like coming home! Adriana + Michalis
