“Excellent location and good value!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 August 2010

Windmill Studios are a five minute walk from both Ag. Georgios beach and Naxos town main square.

This accommodation initially impressed me with the promptness and efficiency of their direct online booking system which is a real rarity in the Greek islands. A confirmation email was sent immediately, followed by a personal email from the owner, George, offering me the free port pick-up on arrival.

George picked us up at the port and showed us to our room. It was exceptionally well cleaned on arrival and the room continued to be cleaned every day of our stay. Our double room had fridge, TV, air con, balcony and small bathroom. The safety deposit box in the room was also free of charge. The bathroom was of the handheld shower/plug in floor variety which is fairly standard in Greece. The furnishing and decor of the room was fairly basic, yet modern, well maintained and very clean.

If you are looking for a good family run hotel with a great location and high standards of cleanliness, I would recommend Windmill Studios. At 50 Euro per night for a double room in high season, I found the price to be very competitive compared to similar accommodations on Naxos.

“Great value!”

I booked 3 nights, and ended up staying for a week! I was originally in a downstairs room, but asked to be moved upstairs (to a balcony room), George was super accommodating and even picks up @ the ferry. While there are hotels closer to the beach/town... I had no problem walking and biking around Naxos.

“A convenient place to stay in Naxos”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 August 2009

The owner was really nice, he came to pick us up at the port and dropped us there when we left. The rooms are clean with privvate bathroom, a small kitchen with fridge, a balcony, TV and air conditionning (but it didn't work). The hotel is located not far from the center but count 15 minutes walking. There is a bus stop about 5 minutes from the hotel and from there you can take the buses going to the beaches which is very convenient.

“Good value & location!!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 June 2009

Although room was small & cheap it had the benefits of aircon, tv, fridge & safe. A bonus is the free transfer to & from the port or airport. The owners are very friendly & we had a few conversations with George & his Mum!
If you're on a budget this is well worth considering, it's in a quiet location & not far into town or to the beach. In front of the Windmill is a convenient cafe (Heaven Bar & cafe) that does breakfast, snacks & has internet access. 2 supermarkets nearby & a short walk to the bus stop for exploring outside Naxos town.
The only negative was the temperamental shower, went hot or cold if someone else turned on a tap! It was no problem once I realised & was prepared for it!

Windmill Naxos is a great place to stay for travellers who doesn't want to spend to much on housing, like students. The rooms are pretty clean and are fully equipted. Our room had a small balconny so we could enjoy breakfast outside.
George is always close to help us getting around and is at the port, with his minivan to get us from and to the port.
