A perfect gem of a spot tucked away in lush gardens within an easy walk to the beach. We loved the pool and the setting and the people working there couldn’t have been sweeter.

Property was well maintained, beautiful gardens, great pool. Elena and her team were on hand to help - their service was very good. The access to the nearest village (Platka) requires a bit of a walk approx 20 minutes, so it a car to get around is very important.

Hidden Gem
Valena Mare was darling. Our family unit was perfect for the four of us. The breakfast was excellent, the manicured grounds delightful and the pool was so refreshing after a long day at the beach. The walk to beach is about 5 minutes and there are 2 hotels with restaurants:beach clubs. Otherwise, the walk to Plaka area is about 20 minutes. Market and great restaurants there along with beach clubs. You will need a car if you want to explore the island further as 20 or so minutes from town. The staff was so welcoming and worked hard to meet every need. My only negative is that beds a little hard but that could just be my taste. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

Secluded Gem
This was a beautiful little hotel with charming staff. While it is just a stones throw away from the beach it's far enough down Plaka beach that it's not as crowded as the other parts. There are two lovely beach bars right where you reach the beach. The hotel itself has a lovely pool area which is well maintained and is surrounded by trees and bushes unlike a lot of other accommodation in the area. The room air condintiong was wonderful and really needed. Things to be aware of: as with most of the island wasps (bees?) are a problem at meal times. The hotel does try and lure them away with an orange juice trap; no one in my group was stung. Google maps isn't completely accurate for this area so look for signs.

An excellent place to stay
Loved Valena Mare! They were able to arrange transport for us from the port to the apartments as it's in Plaka which is a bit far from Chora. Elena greeted us and explained everything thoroughly about the apartments, the area, and what to do. She provided us with maps, names of good restaurants and how to walk to the bus stop along with the bus timings. As well, we were then given a lovely plate of fresh fruit and juice upon arrival in our room. The room and washroom were very clean, as was the kitchenette. Everything had been updated and the balcony views were perfect. Breakfast was simple but excellent and one of our wonderful hosts, George, was very accommodating and helpful. I would definitely recommend Valena Mare to anyone heading to Naxos.
