We spent 5 days here in September. The setting was magical. The room was great. The private dipping pool was larger than some of the private pools I've had at other hotels. I appreciated all the toiletries. Breakfast was great also. The reason we picked Aethos over other hotels is because of it's location. It's a short pleasant walk along the water to Cannigione. So we didn't didn't always have to drive if we wanted to go out for lunch or dinner, or visit some shops. The hotel staff were very helpful and pleasant. The whole experience was just very relaxing and exceeded my expectations.
