The perfect place to stay and spend your days! Such lovely and kind people and hosts — they truly make you feel at home. So cozy, warm, and welcoming. The service was beyond excellent, and the room was beautiful. We had an amazing time there! The location is perfect — close to everything: just a few minutes’ walk to Little Kook, the Taverna, Monastiraki, and the Plaka. Truly a wonderful place Highly recommended!

It starts with the location: Philia is extremely well located and hte street is quiet but has got some very nice restaurants around. The breakfast was really nice (it can both be served in the dining room or in your own room). Our experience with Philia Boutique hotel was exceptional! The staff were all amazing, shout out to Georgina and Joy, who were always extremely helpful with everything that we needed. Highly recommend it!! We look forward to staying here again.
