Description
The Hotel
Imagine a place where the sandy shores of the Mediterranean meet verdant landscapes, alluring rock formations and amazing gastronomy. This is what the villas of the Naxian Luxury Collection promise to visitors in an idyllic environment that's fit for a king yet better suited to the bohemian bourgeois.
Breathtaking views of Naxos town and its castle, beaches that can be reached by foot, an organic vegetable garden, a well-guarded wine cellar and sublime private or semi-private pools under the bluest Cycladic skies – this is what awaits visitors to this alluring property which artfully blends sophistication with relaxed island hospitality.
Naxos, in the meantime, is a true paradise for Mediterranean culinary delights, windsurfing escapades, enchanting nature hikes, little galleries, surprising museums, archeological treasures and Byzantine mysteries. The property's owners, Yannis and Maria, will go out of their way to help you uncover the best of Naxos, simply because they're as passionate about their island as they are about their gorgeous villas. Rest assured, a stay at the Naxos Luxury Collection is going to be an experience of a lifetime.
SUITES & VILLAS
Prepare to pamper yourself in understated luxury.
The different suites and villas have been designed with all modern comforts in mind, from private or semi-private pools and natural toiletries to coffee machine and free Wi-Fi internet. The four grand suites with their kitchen and living quarters are ideal for larger families, while the premium suites are favored by singles and couples.
GREEN PHILOSOPHY
The Naxian way of life is a green one in its own right, both literally and figuratively. The island is the greenest of the Cyclades, filled with mountains, lush vegetation, and gushing streams. The inhabitants have coexisted with the land for thousands of years, espousing green practices that are still evident today.
To begin with, the villas were built with respect to nature and traditional architectural style, ensuring minimal damage to the surroundings. Energy-efficient lighting and appliances combine with solar water heating, while the pesticide-free gardens are as natural as possible and feature local flora.
You'll particularly be happy to know that the Naxian Luxury Collection's kitchen boasts plenty of local organic ingredients and highlights traditional Naxian recipes. The menu is based on local ingredients from the property's very own organic field, free-range chicken coop, nearby olive groves and the family vineyards not far off. Local herbs such as oregano and sage are part of the Naxian Luxury Collection's kitchen, so are famed island potatoes, local meats from free-range farms on the nearby mountains and lots of greens. Noteworthy too are the property's recycling efforts, including feeding leftovers to the farm animals so there's no waste.
GASTRONOMY
Prepare yourself for an extraordinary culinary experience like no other. Naxos, the most fertile of the Cyclades and abundant in water, is famous for its authentic flavors, products and dishes.
Aromatic Mediterranean herbs, organic vegetables from the property, the purest local honey, superlative olive oil, our free-range chickens and the choicest meats all conspire to take you on a gastronomic journey that will remind you what real cuisine and slow food are all about. The island is also famous for its fine potatoes, tomatoes, herbs, vegetables, cheeses and wild goat meat, as well as amazingly good bread. Keep in mind that the Naxian Luxury Collection often bakes its own bread in the wood-burning oven on the property, and also has an excellent relationship with one of the best traditional bakeries on the island.
