We really lucked out by booking this place. The typical places close to Naxos town were all sold out so we ended up in Plaka. This is probably the best thing that happened. The property is located in a rustic part of the island with excellent access to the beach. The property backs up to farmland with horses and such giving it a ranch-like feel. The best thing about the place is the owner-manager, Marios. He is the true epitome of hospitality. Marios and Mark were the front-end folks we interacted with and both are quite fluent in English, kind to a fault and an endless source of advice on places to eat, things to see, local beaches and such. Marios' recommendations were spot on and seemed tailored to specific interests evidenced by his guests. For example, he recommended an outstanding restaurant in Naxos town for a vegetarian lunch (Elinikko), a very picturesque spot to visit on our drive through the mountains (Rotunda), and even a small local village to make a detour for sightseeing (Chalki). He also organized a car rental through his network with the car being delivered to us on the property for trip through the mountains - another must do. Among the pluses of the place are its location. You will recognize how blessed you are to be away from the chaos of Naxos town or even the beaches near Prokopios and Anna. There are a couple of great eating places close by (Petrinos for example) and you can easily get to Naxos by taxi for about 40 bucks. If you plan to stay for a long period of time, a car rental would be worth the investment. Short stays might not require a car however. The environment is very calming. The property is very well maintained and looks very clean, bright, and airy. While it is not the Four Seasons, it makes up with a ton of charm, beach access, and friendly hosts. We had nothing but the best experience here and would very strongly endorse it.
