Ananda Retreat

Excellent Stay – Highly Recommend! One of the highlights of the stay was the magnificent sunset view absolutely breathtaking and the perfect way to end each day. Maria was fantastic. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable experience. Thank you.

Great place to live. 30min drive from Oia but if you’re ok to stay away from crowd then villa itself is great with private pool.

Fabulous place with amazing views. The additional extras like daily cleaning and quality bathroom complimentary bottles/illy coffee pods topped up daily, loads of towels for the bathroom and poolside, bathrobes and slippers etc. all lift this property above typical self catering villas. Only negatives would be the very steep steps to the mezzanine bedroom, low balustrade to mezzanine the heat being hard to control up there at night (without freezing the downstairs with aircon on full blast). I would go back again & was overall really impressed with the villa and pool. Best to hire a car. Special thanks to the lovely cleaner.

I made some booking errors for my holiday and unfortunately Ananda Retreat was not accommodating in helping me. As a result of the financial burden of my booking errors I was not able to afford taxi's (car travel is the only option when you are disabled) and so I was not able to visit a somewhere important to me, I was also not able to go to any restaurants and had limited food with me. All in all my experience was not positive, the stress had a negative impact on my health during my stay so I was not fully able to appreciate the beautiful views at the property. There is no privacy around the pool or the patio areas. It is not sound proof, I was awoken by the pool cleaning equipment. There are lights that do not turn off and windows that cannot be covered. The ladder to the mezzanine sleeping area is not safe - the steps are tilted. While the kitchen is clean and equipped you cannot use both pans on the hob at the same time. I found a huge cockroach within the property. It's basically an air b and b but with less help if something goes wrong. Staying there ended up being upsetting and disappointing.
