    I really can't think of a substantial negative point. Some people might be slightly iritated by the noise from the road but it was a minor nuisance at most. The path to the small beach might be steep and slippery for some people, so bring some shoes. But also this was not an issue at all, maybe just a remark for people who do not feel to comfortable with steep paths.

    The place was amazing, had a very relaxed vibe, the staff was very friendly, helpful and insightful. The pool, bar and garden were absolutely great! The room was nothing special but cozy and clean and the access to the garden with a small terrace was wonderful. The location is a bit remote and if you don't have a car you should take a taxi instead of walking to Afitos but honestly, the staff organized a taxi every time we needed one and it cost €6-€7 so it was absolutely fine. There is a small secluded beach directly under the cliff the hotel is located on which is great if you want to escape the busy beaches, we really enjoyed it. On Saturdays there is even yoga in the garden! The frappe and food at the bar were also great!

    The only drawback is the close proximity of a busy road. Won't be that much of an issue if you book a sea view room.

    Elies 33 is the epitome of a cozy boutique hotel. Stayed there for a second time. It has only 8 suites, a decent-sized pool, a great yoga area, and incredible views from the sea view suites. The breakfast is varied and delicious. Small dogs are allowed upon request.

    - Be aware that reaching a private beach is a trip itself. It’s difficult for the first time especially when you go up, but it’s definitely worth it and you get used to it with time and it’s also a nice workout :) - The village is not really close, it takes approximately 30 mins to get there by foot, which is tough in a hot day. Also, you need to go half way on a highway without any lights, which is not a pleasant experience in the evening, so most of the times we got there by taxi, which costs €5 for one way. Again all the benefits you get outweigh insignificant disadvantages

    + Service like no other - the hotel host made us food herself after the kitchen was closed, she offered help any time we saw her. + The view is absolutely beautiful. + The hotel itself is really cozy and quiet, which is perfect to just chill and relax. + Private beach is also wonderful as there were almost no people most of the time and the water is the cleanest we have ever seen

    The fridge was noisy, we didnt tell this though.

    Very sweet and nice hospitallity from Maria and Jenie! They even made a breakfast box for us when we left early. The view is amazing and the room was very clean. The private beach is in a short walking distance. Afitos is easily accesable by a short walk as well. We would recommend for people to book a stay at Elies 33.

    The breakfast was not that diverse, but the staff was very friendly and tried to accommodate any request we had

    Great location, with amazing view & access to a small private beach. We went for a swim in the evening, down the forest to the solitary beach, and it felt like an unforgettable experience. Even though located on ground floor, the room was excellent, nice design & pleasant atmosphere. One of the most professional staff representative I ever met.

    My bathrobe has fresh blood on it and it wasn't mine, it was quickly replaced. The staff did apologise but I would of like compensation to go along with verbal apology, something like a cocktail. It was a grossly feeling to have after shower and using bathrobe only to see there's someone blood on it.

    Breakfast was great. A lot of choices and well presented. The pool was wonderful and awsome beach within walking distance. Peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. Was wonderful that its a small hotel which meant it's not over crowded. We loved the complimentary bottle of wine too. Staffs was nice and friendly.

    We would have liked it to be able to drink our cocktail by the pool (for example with our feet in the water), but this was not allowed. At the end of our stay there were more people at the pool and not enough sunbeds, so people began to put there towels before breakfas to claim a place. More sunbeds would be better to avoid this...

    Beautiful and new hotel, very very friendly staff, good breakfast and lunch, nice cocktails, amazing views!

    Before arrival we had payment issues and the owner wasn't responding for five days. Bad soundproof, we could hear the water running through the pipes from upstairs. Bad isolation and ventilation, the bathroom was condensed and wet all the time as well as the bedroom floor.

    Great location, isolated and quiet. The room had all the amenities. The staff was super welcoming and friendly! The food was amazing, great and interesting variety of food.

    A bit noisy sometimes (close to a main road). In addition, they charge a very high fees for extras (i asked for flowers for my partner’s birthday, laundry service, etc.).

    the water drain button on the toilet and the mosquito net were broken and they were not repaired while we were there, although we announced.. The room is the litlle bit expensive.

    Excellent view, amazing colour of the sea, the wild beach was fantastic, great pool, small but enough, the energy of the place is good, we fell fantastic. The breakfast was good. Location close to the beach and close to tavernas in Afitos (7 min drive), but in the same time a quiet place.

    The beach is a 10 min walk from the hotel, down a hill. Not suitable for elderly or unsportive people. Sometimes it was a bit noisy on the ground floor because you could hear the other tennants.

    The hotel is very beautiful with a fantastic view of the ocean. The rooms and amenities are clean. Breakfast and food in general is also very nice! The staff was so friendly and helpful with everything. The beach at the partner hotel is also great. Would always go back!

    It is indeed like on other reviews mentioned next to a main road and a bit noisy if you have the wrong room (towards the road) but this was not our case.

    It's literally a retreat! I was really amazed by the professionalism and the space they have created. You can relax and rejuvenate there. The room was great, bathroom was new, everything very comfy and clean. Maria was also very helpful and kind. Breakfast is next to the pool and gives you such good vibes to start the day.

    The path to the beach is steep and a bit dangerous. The beach that is close to the hotel is not very good, however, there are other beaches nearby, accessible by car.

    The breakfast was superb, great variety and products. Very elegant in general, renovated and clean.
