ANEMOLETHE

Our pre-wedding party here was such a memorable night. The planning was excellent, the food was delicious, and the drinks were made just right, with every detail handled thoughtfully. The rooms were spacious, beautifully designed, and had the best view on the island. Daily housekeeping kept everything spotless, and breakfast each morning was full of tasty local treats. Everyone on staff was friendly, professional, and attentive. We can’t wait to come back, whether for another occasion or a relaxing holiday.

If I could rate it six out of five, I would. The rooms are impeccably furnished and the beds are comfortable, and there’s food made from scratch all day by the pool, including the bread and pizza. Breakfast was amazing too. Costas, Maria and their two sons are super nice and always ready to help, with free rides to the port as well. The pool looks out over the Aegean, and the views are fabulous. For beaches, Prassa and Bonatsa are the best; Mavrospilia is the place for sunsets. This little family-run Kimolos gem is the kind of place Cycladic hotels should aspire to be.

We’ve stayed at plenty of luxury hotels, but never felt so much at home. Leaving was genuinely sad, and we’ll be back for the people as much as the beauty. The family’s hospitality is warm and real, with homemade breakfasts, personal tips and thoughtful details that made us feel cared for. The hotel itself is elegant and welcoming, with lovely design, spotless rooms, luxurious touches and stunning views.

The location worked perfectly for us: Chorio is about a 10-minute walk away, with some nice bars and restaurants, and the bus stop is right in front of the hotel. The port takes 10-20 minutes on foot, though the route goes up and down, and the hotel also offers free transfers to and from the port. We loved the view, pool, local-produce breakfast and friendly people. We’ll definitely be back!
