Amazing Villa with breathtaking views. A little bit of a hike to a remote area on a cliff but worth the effort. Breakfast buffet is amazing. Highly recommend for a quiet get away.

Highly recommended
Lovely hotel in an isolated location which gives it a panoramic view and a peaceful quiet very relaxing atmosphere. The people could not be more helpful and pleasant. We are there every night and the menu changes daily. Food was very good. We were on a self driving holiday and a car is beneficial here although the hotel will take guests to and fro the nearby beach. Highly recommended hotel.

One of our favourite spots in all of Greece. Beautiful grounds, well appointed rooms, incredible food - the staff are amazing. Sonya remembers us from last visit and was very accommodating. It’s always very hard to leave the White Donkey.

Very Relaxing Hotel
Hotel has a very calm and relaxing atmosphere. Beautiful views and is very well maintained. Not walkable to the village for evening meals so taxi is needed. The hotel did arrange for us one evening but feel a regular evening service to the village would be a great addition. Hotel evening meal very good though !!.

I’ve been coming to Greece to travel for almost 30 years. I can say with confidence that this was the best visit holiday experience I’ve ever had and this came down to how incredible the location and facilities of White Donkey that were matched by the staff and management who were so incredibly friendly and attentive found ways to solve any questions I had. When you go on holidays, finding the right people and management and staff. It’s just as important as the location and property and facilities, which is why I will be coming back to White donkey one of the best hotel experiences I have had in Greece. It was sad to leave them..

Cannot wait to go back! Not sure where to start - everything was perfect... the perfect grounds - full of rosemary shrubs and lavender bush - the smell was heavenly as you walk by. The customer service, from the front desk to the restaurant staff to the housekeeping department, top notch and always with a smile on their face.
Breakfast was spectacular, fresh ingredients they made my son an incredible smoothie each morning before he asked. We would end our day with a bottle of Rose out by the pool.
Rooms were clean, modern and VERY spacious for Europe - the balcony was a lovely addition.
Donkeys in the olive grove - something out of a storybook. Mama and baby donkey were so very sweet - we would visit every day.
Do not think twice about booking here - just loved this perfect slice of luxury.

Geweldig en niet alleen het uitzicht
Prachtige accommodatie met geweldig zwembad met een onovertroffen uitzicht .
Vriendelijke receptioniste georgia, maar ontbijt us te duur €15 in verhouding met een goed diner €20.
Jammer dat er kinderen zijn op deze zeer rustige locatie.
We hebben vernomen dat de policy ten op zichte van kinderen gaat veranderen. 18+ locatie zou beter zijn.

Loved White Donkey. This property has thought of everything and attention to detail was great. Beds really comfortable and meals delicious. The only downside and I appreciate this property is Eco was the cold water, I don’t like cold showers.
This is a gorgeous property and would definitely stay again
