Chios Xenia Studios & Apartments

We couldn’t use the room safe because the batteries were dead and I informed Rose the owner or owner’s wife of this. After requesting batteries again, she told me she would take care of it She did not. We proceeded to hide some currency in the room. We departed on a Monday and realized on that Thursday that we had left that cash behind in our room. Yes, that was not too smart. So we immediately called Rose and told her exactly where the cash was. When we called back she said there was no cash there, that many people had used the room since we left (over three days??) but she would look again. It was a very good hiding place. When we called back again, she said there was no cash there. Hmm. Also had a number of insects in our room, not all dead. Had also asked Rose for additional bug control, didn’t get that either. We have bug photos but have no need to post them, from roaches to a large spider and an army of ants. On a positive note, breakfast buffet was good.

The place is really good with it’s location. Rose and Yannis are really helpfull and friendly. As we were there as a group of friends they organized a Greek night with musicians. Price is so good when you think it’s advantages. Highly recommended for everyone!

Due to bad weather the season in Agia Fotini hadn’t really started yet and not many places open especially for dinner. However, Rose and Yiannis went above and beyond , asking the chef to stay on and provide dinner for us in the hotel each night. So so grateful. There are 2 sister hotels and delicious buffet breakfast provided in one, so had a morning stroll along for breakfast. Rooms spotlessly clean and such comfy beds. Hotel at the end of beach area and no through road so very quiet, just the waves lapping. No sun beds on beach yet as season not up and running. A quiet small resort out of peak season and would benefit from a car as buses infrequent. However, Rose could not do enough for us, organising large single taxi for our group and arranging for hire of it for the day to take us sightseeing ( at a very reasonable rate), as tours were not running yet. The owners as so friendly, food was delicious, rooms excellent, and made us feel so welcome. 10/10 for hospitality. Hope to return one day but would travel a week later.

We had 9. nights in a really nice junior suite with a great balcony overlooking the sea. The apartment was well equipped and the cleaning was impeccable. Rose (the host) was really helpful and nice. We only had few steps to a swim in the amazing clear sea. Breakfast was really good with a fine selction og bread, eggs, youghurt etc. We hope that we have the opportunity to return to this lovely apartment.
