Anatoli Luxury Studios & Suites

We booked a last-minute trip to Astypalea and debated between two hotels. Swayed by the views, we plumped for Anatoli Luxury Suites [a decision we didn’t come to regret!]. We were bowled over by the views overlooking the white-washed buildings of the Chora, Astypalaia Castle and the Aegean Sea stretching out for miles. From sunrise to sunset, it’s even more breath-taking in the flesh [photos simply cannot do it justice!]. Anatoli is exceptionally located – a stone’s throw from the Chora and the plethora of restaurants [Agoni Grammi was our favourite for affordable and authentic fare], the best café [Bokan Coffee House serves coffee that could rival Rome], the museum and Astypalaia Castle. We could walk everywhere which was ideal as we prefer to explore an island by foot [although the hotel and island are not particularly accessible to those with mobility issues]. The staff are exceptional – the cleaners went above and beyond and our room was spotless on a daily basis. What a credit to the business Aggeliki Karapidaki is too. Helming over our hotel for the duration of our stay, she went above and beyond, from smoothly arranging our transfer from the ferry port and meeting us there, answering any queries we had about the hotel and island and offering us such a warm welcome after an arduous four-hour ferry trip. She made fantastic suggestions for where to eat/drink. Most memorably, Aggeliki organised a sunrise boat trip to neighbouring islands Koutsomitis and Kounoupes at the very last minute – we’re incredibly grateful as it was one of our fondest memories of our time on the island. Our experience in Astypalea wouldn’t have been nearly as fantastic without her. Breakfast was delicious too – the cook makes one of – if not the – best homemade pies we’ve had in the Dodecanese to date. The menu was ever-changing and the savoury / sweet dishes would suit every palette. Perhaps the hotel’s greatest strength is how we had the best of both worlds – it’s the most ideal and tranquil setting to retreat from the scorching midday sun and a mere few minutes’ walk to the buzz of the Chora come sunset. The only criticisms would be that there only seemed to be hot water in the mornings and it’d have been ideal to have a kettle in our room. Aside from that, we couldn’t have had a better time in this hotel. The epitome of Grecian hospitality, we cannot recommend Anatoli enough. We hope to return.

Lovely studio and perfect location. Note the stairs up are steep! Great breakfast, clean and friendly overall. Daily room cleaning, view from the balcony of the Chora and the Port and Livadi bay. You'll be very comfortable here and we would return.

I booked last minute a trip to Astypalaia and contacted the owner of Anatoli - Antonis - directly who was super helpful and booked me right in, arranged transfers and made my arrival and stay super smooth. I got a warm welcome when I arrived and they looked after me throughout. Chryssoula, Irene and Panos as well as the cleaning staff not only looked after me but also made me feel at home. Such friendly, professional and lovely staff, they are the best example of the amazing, warm and kind Greek hospitality. My room was simply amazing, spacious, clean and decorated with great taste. The view from the stunning terrace in my room was just breathtaking. I enjoyed my early mornings or sunsets in the swing overlooking at the Chora and horizon. Just a peaceful space to relax, in my case work remotely but yet 1 minute from the best restaurants and cafes and the gorgeous beaches of Livadia, Tzanakia and Agios Konstantinos. Chryssoula and Antonis helped me to arrange the car rental and a boat trip in such smooth and easy way. And they arranged transfers from and to the airport too! Honestly I could have not had a better experience. I will definitely come back, thank you Anatoli for having me in your beautiful boutique hotel and for making me feel so welcome. Seby

Particularly the section of this small family hotel is very convenient from all aspects (walking distance to Main Square with restaurants, café and bars) and at same time is very quiet. The view of castle is amazing day or night. We loved our stay and we shall be coming back.
