Althea Boutique Hotel

Our week-long stay at the Althea was superb. From the very warm welcome we received on arrival, to the daily interaction with the team it was a pleasure to stay here. The staff put themselves out to make sure our stay on the island was enjoyable

We contacted the hotel directly to book a room (Point of View Suite), and were offered a price of €920, breakfast included. However, the same room was publicly listed on their own website for €882 — also including breakfast and taxes. When we politely pointed out the discrepancy, we were told it was due to a currency conversion issue — even though the price on the website was clearly shown in euros. Shortly after, the website price for that specific room was quietly changed to €955, clearly in an attempt to make the direct offer look more favorable. We found this approach misleading and disappointing. No acknowledgment, no gesture toward loyal returning guests — just evasive replies and a dismissive tone. It’s a shame, because we previously had a good experience at this hotel. But true hospitality is built on trust and transparency, not on technicalities and reactive adjustments.

Wow what a fantastic place to stay,from the girl at reception to the breakfast staff(one of which is said girl on reception) to the cleaners the people were wonderful,the room was exquisitely designed and very spacious,breakfast is served in a fabulous courtyard overlooking the wonderful old town and the sea below,we luckily managed to get our room on the great cobbled street at the last minute and am so glad we did, We will definitely come back when we return Colin & Jackie

It was a pleasure staying at the Althea! The room is spacious, tasteful, clean and quiet and the facilities well-maintained. The staff is very attentive and respectful and will go above and beyond to ensure a wonderful stay! It's the ideal choice if you want to relax and feel comfortable during your vacation. Highly recommend!

Great location, Nicely decorated spacious rooms, fabulous views, average service and definitely overpriced. You pay for the location and the rooms and not the service. It is more like renting an apartment rather than staying in a hotel.

Stayed 3 nights in a suite with a small private pool - view from the suite was breathtaking. Pool water was rather chilly but I guess welcome during the height of the summer. Suite was comfortable but outside terrace only attracted the morning sunshine so limited the opportunity to sit in the sun next to the private pool. Breakfast was good and varied but serving area/ room really small to accommodate guests in the morning breakfast rush! Katerina the host was helpful with restaurant suggestions. Overall a great stay with immediate access to the old town and restaurants. Recommended
