“Generous, kind hosts of a beautiful property.”

Stamati and his family are wonderful, generous hosts. We came during the winter season and had the entire place to ourselves.

Stamati and his family are wonderful, generous hosts. We came during the winter season and had the entire place to ourselves. The suite itself was clean, new, and perfectly equipped with basic kitchen necessities. The propery was very quiet, with beautiful views, and an easy 5 minute walk to the port, restaurants, and grocery. Stamati was so kind to take us all around the island since there was no car rental service available in March. He also owns two sailboats and told us of tours he offers around the island (in summer only). I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Milos!

“Felt Like Real Greece”

I cannot say enough good things about Thalassitra Village Hotel. We stayed there for 3 nights while visiting the island of Milos. It was our favourite island and also one of the best hotels we stayed at during our 3.5 week trip to Greece. Staying there truly felt like real Greece, as if you were in a small village courtyard, grapes on the vine, quiet, relaxed and as if there was not a worry in the world. Exactly what we were looking for. The deluxe room with private pool was fantastic - the bed and pillows were so comfortable, the bathroom very large and clean, and the sitting area was so pretty with the brightly coloured cushions - and a welcome bottle of wine in the kitchen! The breakfasts were amazing! Also one of the best we experienced in Greece - being able to choose so many varied options - and everything was made fresh each morning in their kitchen. It was a very easy walk into the main town, literally less than 10 minutes, where if you wanted more activity, shops, restaurants, etc, it was all at hand. Everyone was very helpful on premises (and a special thanks to Faye for answering all my email questions before our arrival) and made an excellent recommendation for supper - Barko Taverna on the edge of town - wonderful food and ambiance. Giannis offered his services to drive us around for a few hours to visit the catacombs, the Roman theatre, discovery site of Venus/Aphrodite of Milos, to the village of Klima. We also booked through the hotel to go on the Thalassitra Sailing trip around the island - that was amazing! So much varied landscapes, swimming in the blue waters, a great lunch and snacks on board - definitely not to be missed. We would absolutely stay here again, hands down. Highly recommend!

We stayed in this hotel in late May for two separate nights, bookending a trip to Kimolos. The hotel is located in the countryside to the north of the port of Adamantos. Our accommodation was a Traditional Mini Suite set in a two storey building around a central courtyard. We understand there are several other types of accommodation available. The buildings are traditionally Cycladic. The hotel provides a discounted port transfer but is reachable on foot with a 20-30 minute walk carrying luggage. The walk is mainly on the flat but it does use the main road and is neither pleasant nor completely safe. For guests with their own vehicle there is car parking. At ground level as were our rooms, there are no real views but in the accommodation at higher levels there are vistas across Milos. Guests with mobility issues may find Milos and the hotel a difficult experience, guests using wheelchairs might struggle. The reception area is in a small building by the courtyard and is admirably staffed by pleasant, professional people. The hotel is seemingly operated by an organisation with wider interests on the island and this affords any guest the opportunity for road and boat trips and various holiday experiences. The hotel was not full during our stay and given that May is really still low season we suspect not all the facilities of the hotel were available. There was no bar. Our transfer to and from the port of Pollonia for the ferry to Kimolos was arranged and executed by the reception staff for a very reasonable price. Both rooms were spacious, each had a kitchen area with a sofa/bed for easy seating. In one instance the kitchen area was a separate room. We did not use the kitchens at all. Other furnishings were minimal but each room had generous wardrobe space and a safe. The bed was comfortable with acceptable linen. Both our bathrooms were a little intimidating although each worked perfectly well. There was a sink, a walk in shower and WC all in the one room. The WC had a high-level cast-iron cistern of considerable efficiency but no little noise! Both bathrooms had external opening windows but were painted throughout (save for the ceiling) in a battleship grey and the window did not afford much illumination. That said everything was clean and in good condition. Towels and toiletries were acceptable. Despite the hardness of the surfaces in the rooms we experienced no room to room noise, little noise form the courtyard (this may not be the case in high season) and no noise from the surroundings. Each room had an external area – one was huge – with chairs and a table. Breakfast is served in the courtyard and is wholly a la carte. Servings were generous and included both hot and cold items. No other meals were served. Within 5 minutes’ walk of the hotel there is a Greek restaurant. We ate there and food was good. Returning to the port there are innumerable restaurants, bars, shops and the like serving every need. As far as we were able to determine no tour company buys rooms but if groups were to stay we believe the hotel would accommodate them without detriment to other guests because of its layout. Staff were not in great numbers when we stayed but those we did encounter ensured that we were comfortable and looked after and all had good English. For the time we were in Milos this was an economically priced lodging. It provides a base for many activities and carefully chosen rooms could provide day long comfort. For us this hotel was simply a room for the night but the kindness of the staff enhanced our stay and made it thoroughly enjoyable.

“Excellent location, beautiful hotel, service could be slightly better”

The hotel is beautiful, rooms are large. It is walking distance from the port and bus station. Very conveniently located. The staff (Nicky) came to pick us up at the port when we arrived by ferry.

The hotel is beautiful, rooms are large. It is walking distance from the port and bus station. Very conveniently located. The staff (Nicky) came to pick us up at the port when we arrived by ferry. Only issues we faced were a) Nicky did not tell us that breakfast was included or any details about it so for the first two days we did not have breakfast at the hotel. Only on the last day we realised that our booking included breakfast, which I think should have been clearly informed at the time of check in. b) Our private pool was out of order for most of the stay - the water was murky and green. On the last day they called someone to fix it but it was too late to enjoy the pool.
