We stayed at Kallichoron for 4 nights, it was a recommendation from an acquaintance of mine and it did not disappoint! As soon as we arrived the lovely lady at reception made us feel welcome and Casanova the black labrador, who is totally the Master of the hotel, accompanied us to our room to ensure that everything was up to his standards. :o)||The room has a tablet where you can order breakfast for the next morning (needs to be done by 9 at night) and lots of other info. You can also order breakfast by filling in the paper form, and leaving it at reception, but we opted for the online method for less paper wastage. The breakfast (called Grandma's breakfast) has won awards and I can totally see why, it was a huge selection of traditional and local products and we chose something different every day, I wish I could have stayed there forever to try everything on the menu! ||The hotel staff have also provided a map of the island and very helpful recommendations on beaches, restaurants, bars and everything to do and see on the island, which was really appreciated! ||The rooms are nicely laid out, clean and our room had a beautiful view to the castle and windmills and a cute little balcony area where breakfast gets delivered in a tray every day. There’s also a handy hanging rack and clothes pins for drying your swimsuits outside. In the room there is a small kitchen with all necessities, including a Nespresso machine with Taf coffee capsules, Greek coffee, a variety of teas (even hand-picked sage tea!) and reusable/biodegradable straws made of wheat, really everything has been thought of by the Kallichoron staff, no detail has remained unnoticed.||The staff also helped us book a great day trip to Kounoupes, Koutsomitis and Red Rock with the beautiful traditional boat Perla, which was a highlight of our trip.|I’ve recommended Kallichoron to all my friends already and can’t wait to stay there again next time I’m in the beautiful island of Astypalaia. Kudos to the staff for their friendliness, hospitality, and the amazing job they've done with the place, and an extra ear rub for Casanova!||PS. The only small criticism I had was that there was a note in the toilet saying to leave towels on the floor if we want them changed, and we never did, but they were changed after the second night. For a 4-night stay, there really is no need to change sheets and towels, especially if not requested by the guests.||Air-con: Yes|Fridge: Yes|Safe deposit box: Yes|Hairdryer: Yes|Free Wi-Fi: Yes|Toiletries: Shampoo, conditioner, shower gel and body lotion, vanity set|Towels: 1 body, 1 head, 1 hand per person + bath mat|Breakfast included: Yes, the most amazing breakfast ever!|Walkable distance from city center: 3 min walk from the center of Chora/windmills|Bedside tables & reading lights: Yes, on both sides|Luggage racks: One, plus low shelve that can fit another suitcase|Freebies: Lemonade at arrival
