Location, accommodation and hospitality

Stayed in September 2024

We had a wonderful stay here! The studio is very comfortable, equipped with everything you need. The bed is comfortable, the terrace is large, surrounded by beautiful flowers and trees, and the views of Chora and the castle are impressive! The beach is only a 5 minute walk from the studio. However, what made our vacation unforgettable is the attitude of the owner Ioannis, he made us feel at home all the time, gave us many recommendations, met us at the port late at night and took our luggage to the port when we left. T hank you Ioannis for your hospitality!

Nothing. Rooms can be larger or smaller according to what you pay, but quality/prize relationship is always unbeatable. Common space could be more developed, but you know in advance what to expect and pay for. Great job!

Wonderful service! Iannis is the ideal host: friendly, attentive and committed. You can ask all sort of information, from culture to restaurants. Very helpful with hiring a car, laundry service, beach directions, restaurant advice, etc. Breakfast is fully supported with many offers of jam, butter, coffee, cookies, etc. The room was appropriate to our needs and in line with what we paid for, with very modern bathroom and air conditioning. Beautiful balcony with view of chora and sea. Sunset is a plus to be con templated from there.

The owner,Giannis was very helpful, he picked us up from the airport and took us back to the port on our departure. Nothing was too much trouble. He gave us lots of information. We had a fantastic time. On arrival we found a goodie basket in our room to start us off and some water, thank you so much for everything

Everything was perfect!

Staying at Drougas was absolutely fantastic! Yannis was a wonderful host who really cares about his guests. We stayed 10 days and could have stayed much longer. Our room was lovely, fresh and spacious. The rooms are much more spacious than they look in the photos with plenty of room to put your belongings, suitcase etc. The bathroom had been updated in our room with a proper shower cubicle, no shower curtain, yeah. The bed was super comfortable as we had been sleeping on some very hard beds in our 2 months of travel. Our outside terrace was also very spacious and we spent a lot of time there. The kitchen space was big enough to prepare breakfasts and lunches. We loved the location of Drougas. It is in a very quiet location which was quite rural but also very close to the beach and tavernas. Only a few minutes walk. No traffic noise, just birds chickens and goats. We loved staying in Livadi. We felt like part of the community really quickly. The supermarket closest to Drougas even delivers your grocery items so you don't have to carry them in the heat. The entire area is laid back and relaxing and we preferred eating here in the evenings over the Chora which was just too busy for us after staying in Livadi. We used the Asti buses to get around. The Lavadi 5 X 5 stop is only a few minutes walk from Drougas, just by the carpark on the corner. No need to rent a car and way cheaper without any worries that can come with renting a car. Easy to use the app once you have done it the first time. You just need access to the internet but every taverna was happy for us to use their wifi. Livadi beach was actually our favourite. It is a stoney beach but at the end closest to Drougas the stones are very fine and easy to get into the water without hurting your feet. We didn't need beach shoes. Further along the beach you would. The water is super clear and it goes deep really quickly which is great for adults to swim.

Nothing, everything was just perfect

1. Room looks even better in reality than in pictures. 2. Extremely clean, the room is cleaned every day, which rarely happens in most of the studios in Greek islands. 3. The host, Iannis is an amazing, wise, kind and calm person who takes care of every little detail. He is genuinely happy to have guests and invests all his time to make them feel comfortable. He taught us some history and even gave us an assignment to continue the learning (which we did). 4. Very good location, almost on the beach, in the best area of the island. Mister Iannis even picked us from the airport and dropped us when we left the island.

Beautiful, spacious and meticulously maintained suite, offering great views to Livadi beach and to the castle of Astypalaia. Well located, less than 5 min walking distance from Livadi beach and 5 min drive from Chora. Family-run business with owners paying exceptional attention to every single detail that would make your stay more comfortable. Great option for both families and groups of people.

My stay at Drouga's was just perfect! I was there for a solo travel and Giannis the owner supported me with information and every help needed making me feel as part of his family! The room was always clean and tided up every day! Very recommended to spend your holidays in Astypalea 😍

One of the best places we have stayed along the years of visiting cyclades and Dodecanese. Small but nice breakfast is included and renewed daily, and every works as expected. Great view of the castle. Mr Giannis was always helpful and accommodating with anything we might have needed.

Lovely, elegant, big, clean rooms. Owner very friendly, picked me up at 4. 40 A. M. from the nightferry for free. They gave me quality honey, biscuits, toast, jam and coffee capsules (Dolce gusto) every morning. 70 meters from the quiet beach. Nice restaurants, shops, a cocktail-lounge, just perfect. Great view of the Chora !

Nothing to dislike!

Friendly and caring host (Mr Yiannis). Modern finish, well equipped apartment. Quiet location yet close to beach. Complementary basket with breakfast items was unexpected and stocked with good quality items. Delicious figs from the owner's garden.

amazingly located and very well taken care of

The host provided us with complimentary transfer services from and to the port. Our room was recently renovated, very comfortable, equipped with small kitchenette and even a ‘dolce gusto’ capsule coffee machine. The views from our balcony were magnificent - over the Chora town and the sea. Location was great too, quiet, few minutes walk to the beach and the restaurants, pleasant 10 min walk to the Chora town. All in all, very good value, we felt welcomed and definitely would consider staying here again.

There was nothing that we didn't like!

We spent a week in a lovely one-bedroomed apartment in Drougas Studios. Very spacious accommodation and spotlessly clean. Our large balcony had panoramic views over a peaceful valley, mountains and the sea. Just a short walk down to the pretty beach village of Livadhi with its clean peaceful waters and small range of pleasant restaurants and bars. Giannis the owner picked us up from the boat and also dropped us to the quay again when we were leaving, helped us with car hire, and gifted us with fresh figs from his garden. He is an incredibly kind and considerate gentleman. We had all the requisites like wifi, mosquito nets and air conditioning. There's also plenty of parking space. We had a wonderful stay.
