Calilo

Hotel and rooms are perfect, staff is even better, quiet island, unlike the noisy ones around it, should definitely experience Calilo once in your lifetime

Beautiful property

It was a wonderful experience. The best customer service I have ever experienced. And the resort is just astonishing. The view the private pool's the food is exceptional. We will come back hare for sure .

Everything is more than excellent! Amazing place!

Calilo is a beautiful resort. The staff are incredible. Honestly, they’re the best part! Our stay was great, but for the money, we hoped they would have worked out some of the early-season issues (we were there in June) - our neighbor’s pool overflowed into ours, which then flooded our patio; our transfer van got a flat tire on its spare, leaving us on the side of the road in the heat while we waited for someone to pick us up at the auto mechanic’s shop; and certain features were in disrepair (a number of decorative pools were either drained or filled with green water). Many of these problems seem to be a result of it being early in the summer season and likely not a reflection of the overall experience. In general, the fees are very high - for food, for transfers, etc, but the people and hotel are truly wonderful. One note - there was an obnoxious influencer parked right in front of our sunbed getting drone photos taken for hours on end. I think that’s a result of the “Instagrammable” nature of the hotel. But bear in mind that this is likely a persistent problem given the strong focus on social media here. Again, beautiful place with wonderful people and worth the visit. If you’re looking for seclusion and luxury, hard to beat it in Greece.

Calilo in Ios is truly a work of art and artisanry. The entrance feels like getting immersed in a magical world. The lobby is very cool, in an unconventional type of way. Every single wall in the bedrooms seems handmade, with little stones in mosaic style. It incorporates the elements of the island and merges with its nature. Marble all across the floors, it’s truly beautiful. It is secluded in its own bay and does not have many rooms so it really feels boutique, spacious. Perfect place to relax. The staff is also fantastic and attentive to detail, first class treatment from everyone; from the check in staff, to the breakfast staff, beach bar staff, cleaning services staff, everyone. Breakfast features both buffet and a la carte and you can order as much as you want.. Room is cleaned and tidied twice daily, and it is really cool because in the evening they prepare the ambiance for sleeping and relaxing, putting music on, turning off the lights, setting up the slippers by your bedside. you really need to experience it to see how cute it is. The beach has large bungalows complimentary for hotel guests and the bay itself is gorgeous, the best in Ios if you ask me. Crystal clear water with tiny grainy rocks which I find very therapeutical for the feet. The guests who complain about the beach are odd (thats nature made anyway, so how is that the hotel’s fault?). Preferring man made invasion is a disrespect to the island’s nature, which this hotel does not do! The only thing I did not appreciate regarding the beach is the lack of showers, toilets and changing rooms nearby. Going all the way to the bar is unrealistic, and I didn’t see any showers by the pool area anyway, only a small one by the chess board for feet only. Lastly, if you plan to go here, do your research because it is very secluded (30 min from chora) and if you do not have a car, you will feel stuck. Hotel does however offer transfer service to and fro for a very reasonable charge. We loved it!

Must try if you have plan to go in Greece for holiday , i had with my wife fantastic 6 days , all the staff are amazing , kind , and ready for any kind of help you need , included if you fall down as i did ( stupid me ) and need to take care of my knees :). I will not attaching any pics because what they show is 100% the true , if you go to Calilo you no need to think about plan a trip outside of there , just go there for relax for try all the different kind of restaurant they have , my favorite was the fine dining one , with perfect view from restaurant , quality of foods , service and introduction of the plates and pairing of wines , in the main restaurant and bar you always have at least 4/5 waiters will never leave you alone and managers araund you for help you to choose what you need , honestly coz i never been to greece before even i am italian but live in china from too many years i can say for foods and beverage Calilo is even cheaper of Santorini and this surprise me a lot. If you really wanna have a nice honeymoon , private , with a super huge villa only for you and your wife , in Greece please pick up it , they even provide to us one night to discover another villa because was the only one free .....impressive . And what make this place with a PLUS for me are all the PEOPLE work there with passion , smiling and give you a feeling to know them already from long time.
