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.

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.

Our experience on Xenia was incredible. I dont know where to start. Dear Rose & Yanis you were amazing with all your staff , your breakfasts , your hospitality , your smiley faces all the time. The hotel was amazing with it's view, clean and nice decorated rooms. We were 13 people and all of us were really pleased with everything. As we are crowded we don't want to move to the centre for a Greek night but Yanis brought us the Greek night with musicians and food and made our night unforgettable. For whom interested in to go Chios should prefer Agia Fotini to stay because sea and the place is also amazing. Once again, thank you Yanis & Rose for everything. We are still speechless about all your effort.
