We have enjoyed a few wonderful days at  Althea Studios where the excellent service began well before we arrived, with Ntina messaging about our arrival and pick up etc. Sure enough she was there waiting patiently at the harbour with a warm smile, ready to whisk us to the studios with helpful hints along the short journey for getting back into town  via a path takes you down to the tavernas, mini market, fruit store, bakery and picture perfect town beach in less than 5 minutes. 

We were delighted by our room which was such good value, spacious, clean and serviced daily. The highlight however was our wonderful private balcony looking down onto the sea and town - we so loved relaxing there in the mornings and evenings. 

We walked the hiking trails around most of the island during our stay; our favourite being across to Kalotarissita, Trypiti beach and the delightful Mitsos taverna. 

In town we discovered after the first couple of days that we could enjoy an incredibly cheap early evening drink with the locals by the harbour and have delicious dinners at very reasonable prices too. (Our first evening we went for the higher reviewed eatery which on reflection was not worth the doubled price.) Another highlight was Kedros beach bar - great vibe and the most incredible rugula salad. 

If you don’t want to walk or fancy a ride back after your day out there’s a bus that goes regularly around the island for 4 euros a trip, and also a boat that visits some of the bays including Livadi which was the most stunning beach. 

To get to Donoussa you can take the small Cyclades ferry from Amorgos, Schinoussa, Koufonissia, Iraklia and Naxos 3 times per week. Each trip costs about 7 euros. What we didn’t know however was that you can also go direct from Piraeus in Athens 3 times a week for about 50 euros. 

We really cannot recommend Althea Sudios and Donoussa enough - if you want to fully relax in simple beauty get booking and enjoy!

Simply superb

This is the real Greece everyone is looking for when they come here! The kindness and generosity - "filoxenia" of these owners really stands out. It's also reflected in the care they have taken in appointing their studios. 

The location is very convenient : only a few minutes walking on a path to the beach and port. Ntina and Dimitri are very very kind and they will pick you up at the ferry arrival and drop you off at the port so there's no lugging your bags. They will store your luggage for you if you have a late ferry. The rooms are really clean, beautifully decorated, spacious and very convenient for making some of your own meals. 

I had a very big room for a very fair price. On top of that, the location is slightly uphill which gives you amazing views to the bay and the sunset.

Ntina and Dimitri are the consumate hosts, they know the island inside and out and they will recommend awesome places to go for food, drink, swim or going for walks. 

I strongly recommend Althea studios and can't wait to come back to this amazingly beautiful island and stay here again!

Incredible Greek Hospitality on Incredible Donousa!

The studios and apartments are set just over five minutes walk from the port ( via a dirt road ) with a nice view down the valley. The lovely Dina and her husband Dimitri will pick you up from the port and drop you off when you leave, and live just over the road from the studios, so will be around if you need them.

The rooms are nicely furnished, comfy bed, cleaned regularly and are excellent value. I'd certainly return, and plan to do so in the not too distant future !

Great people, and a lovely spot to stay

We stayed for two nights in this hotel and we had everything we needed. The owners are charming and very friendly and they helped us with all queries we had.
We had a very big room for a very fair price. On top of that the location is a bit uphill which gives you amazing views to the bay and the sunset.
Very recommendable!!! 

Nice place and friendly owners

Look no further if you are planning a visit to Donousa. Ntina and Dimitris are very friendly hosts, they know the island like the back of their hands, and they will recommend you places to go for food, drink, swim. The studio is clean, cute, has everything you would need for a holiday. Can't wait to go back!

Love it, the perfect place to stay

Nice and comfortable big studios  close to the beautiful center of Donoussa. This is a good place to stay, if you would like to have an own kitchen and don't mind to walk a little bit to the center. the bus stops right at the Althea Studios and takes you anywhere you would like on the island.

Super friendly and helpful owners

Very nice owner! Having said that, we were expecting a little bit more for the price (keep in mind that these are studios, so no breakfast is offered). We stayed for 2 days and the room only got serviced once. 

The room was nice and had a balcony with a great view towards the sea. The studio had a fully equipped kitchen but no bath amenities (shower gel etc).  Keep in mind that the beach and the small village (χωρα) was a 7-8 minutes walk

nice aesthetics and views, a bit expensive

Positive: great view, good location, big and well lit rooms
When we came in we found leftovers from previous guests that had moved to another room. Later on someone entered our room without getting our permission or even notifying us, and emptied the fridge.
Definitely overpriced, the only cleaning service they actually provided was picking up litter. Didn’t even bother to put inside the bathroom mat that we had taken out to dry

The room and view from this place are decent but I think for the price there are better options on the island. The main reason for a fair review is that we were asked to pay cash and we were not given a receipt.

Decent but no receipt

Despite good accommodation these studios can not be considered as a hotel, despite the goodwill of the owners. It has other places with better location and structure on the island, especially for those who are traveling alone. It does not have breakfast service and they do not even provide soap and bath shampoo. The cleaning is just as desired as the wifi. Good air conditioning and comfortable bed. Is easy access to the beaches, as others places.It seems more apartments for rent than anything. I only recommend for families who will stay on the island for many days and will have all the meal in the apartment.
