OUR REVIEW
THE NEIGHBOURHOOD
Located on the seafront in a steep valley overlooking Agali Bay, there's a beach by the hotel and others nearby. One of the best is Agios Nikolaos, a 15-minute walk, which has a taverna and shady olive trees. The hotel provides complimentary transfers to and from the harbour (for the ferry).
By plane: direct flights to Thira take around 4 hours from London and Manchester. Then take the ferry from Thira to Folegandros (50 minutes). It's a 15-minute drive to the hotel. Free parking available nearby. Book flights to Thira.
THE LOOK AND FEEL
The design, with a familiar Cycladic slant given a modern twist, is generally understated and informal, yet always stylish.
THE FACILITIES
This is not the sort of place full of facilities - its charm comes from its small number of rooms, chic yet unpretentious design and low-key ambience. There's a bar, restaurant and shop. Beauty treatments are available. Staff are friendly.
