Madaky Hotel
Bright rooms three minutes from Piperi Beach
About this hotel
Madaky sits in the thick of central Naousa, close enough that the seaside bars and traditional taverns start within 100 metres of the front door. Rooms lean bright and simple rather than styled, decorated in strong colour with a private bathroom, TV, safe and refrigerator; some carry air conditioning or open onto a balcony, worth checking at booking if either matters. The outdoor swimming pool gives an alternative to the three-minute walk to Piperi Beach on days the sea feels like too much effort, and the lounge with its internet corner covers anyone needing to work during the stay. Parikia, the island's main port, is ten kilometres south, a manageable day-trip distance rather than a walk.

Our take
Good value for travellers who want to be within stumbling distance of Naousa's harbour bars and taverns without paying for a beachfront address, since the walk to Piperi Beach takes three minutes either way. The pool is a genuine bonus at this price point. Anyone wanting guaranteed air conditioning or a balcony should confirm the room type at booking, since not every unit includes both.
- ✓Confirm air conditioning and balcony access when booking, standard rooms do not guarantee either.
- ✓Walk the 100 metres to the seaside bars for dinner rather than driving into central Naousa.
- ✓Use the pool on windy days when Piperi Beach gets choppy rather than forcing the swim.
Why we love it

Why guests love itMadaky Hotel is a three-minute walk from Piperi Beach and close to the centre of Naousa, so families can switch between beach, pool and town without a car. The outdoor pool is the main extra for children. Rooms are brightly decorated with private bathrooms, but only some units have air-conditioning or a balcony, so I would check the room type before booking in high summer.
