Nice hotel with beautiful rooms

This was an exceptional experience - from check in every aspect was first class. Five stars!

It depends what type of vacation/stay you’re looking for for how I would rate this property. It’s a beautiful property with great views, but it’s quite isolated. You really need to have a car if you’re going to stay here. We did not get the car and there is no way to get to towns except for expensive cab rides and the hotels service but it only goes at 10am and 10pm(bringing you home). If you want an experience where you stay at a resort and don’t leave or go explore then this can work for you. However there is still only 1 restaurant on the property and 1 beach club and beach restaurant (lunch only closes at 7pm) that are in walking distance. I prefer options by staying in town personally. And if you are in town at least you have access to the bus.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Calme Hotel, and it deserves a 5-star rating. That said, there were a couple of minor areas for improvement. They did not affect our overall experience, and I would still highly recommend this hotel. I simply want to mention them so future guests can decide whether they matter to them. The first is the location. The hotel sits on top of a hill, away from the beach. The views are spectacular, but since we enjoy swimming in the ocean, we ended up driving to the beach every morning and then back to the hotel afterward. It's also a fair distance from Naousa, where we had dinner almost every evening, so we spent quite a bit of time driving. The second was breakfast. Everything we ordered was delicious, but the à la carte service was quite slow. I understand that, as a boutique hotel, a full buffet may not be practical. However, a small self-service station with coffee, tea, bread, and pastries would make a big difference. Waiting for coffee or bread refills sometimes took quite a while because the server wasn't always nearby. Other than these minor points, the hotel is exceptional. The service is impeccable, with twice-daily housekeeping and thoughtful touches such as chocolates left on our pillows each evening. Those little details made us feel truly pampered.
