Chios Xenia

The property is not really accessible by vehicles, so our taxi had to drop us approx a 5 min walk away. Taxi from the ferry port, approx 15 min transfer, 20€, We arrived on Saturday afternoon and the beaches were crowded. Unfortunately, we had not been forwarded the check in details prior to our arrival, so finding the property proved very frustrating. Thankfully, a lovely greek family helped us and rang the owners. They eventually arrived, but the unital greeting was less than friendly. To say the room was small is an understatement. One small wardrobe, a tiny bathroom, with a shower cubicle that was only just big enough to turn around in! Bedroom was ok, but included a sink and small cooking area. There was a small balcony, just enough for 2 people. However, the views were amazing and the distance to the beach was perfect. The reception for our accommodation was a walk away in a sister hotel, with it's own restaurant opposite. The owners work predominantly from here which explained why there is no check in at our apartments. Here we were greeted totally different. It is a family run business, and all were very friendly and attentive, nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was amazing, with so much choice. Evening meals again, lots of choice, all home cooked and lovely. There is no supermarket in the village and only about 6 bars/ restaurants. We only stayed 2 nights so didn't hire a car, but i would strongly recommend hiring one for longer stays.

Not a thing to complain about. Great hospitality. Helpful staff. We had a quiet family room overlooking the sea. Fridge and stove in the room. Clean, highly comfortable establishment. A perfect stay. I'd go back. Special thanks to Rose.
