The decor incorporates calming earth tones and minimalist furnishings made from wood, stone, and clay, fostering a soothing atmosphere.
Each room typically includes a comfortable king-sized bed with a high-end mattress, a private balcony or patio offering sea views, air conditioning, a ceiling fan, soundproof windows, a mini-bar fridge, an espresso maker, a safety box, a smart TV, and complimentary Wi-Fi. Guests frequently commend the impeccable cleanliness and thoughtful details, with some even noting a view from the shower. The limited number of rooms (reportedly 7) contributes to an intimate and peaceful experience.
4. Dining Experience
The dining experience at Noma Milos is highlighted by its exceptional breakfast service. Guests consistently praise the breakfast as a major highlight of their stay, noting its deliciousness, quality, and variety. Options include continental, American, or à la carte selections with warm dishes, fresh pastries, cheese, fruits, and juice. Many reviewers appreciate that breakfast is prepared with care and can be enjoyed on their private terrace. While some sources mention an elegant on-site restaurant, guest feedback primarily focuses on the outstanding breakfast, and some reviews suggest limited dinner options in the immediate vicinity, implying guests venture out for other meals.
5. Service & Staff
The service at Noma Milos is consistently lauded as exceptional, with staff often described as attentive, friendly, and going above and beyond to ensure a memorable stay. The facility manager, George, receives particular commendation for his outstanding hospitality, expert recommendations, and genuine care for guests, making them feel welcomed and valued. Housekeeping is also frequently mentioned for its "super clean" standards. The personalized and warm interactions with the team contribute significantly to the hotel's tranquil and homely atmosphere.
6. Location & Accessibility
Noma Milos is situated in Provatas, on the scenic south side of Milos, offering a secluded and quiet setting atop a hill with magnificent views of the Aegean Sea. While its remote nature is a key part of its appeal for tranquility and relaxation, it means the hotel is not within walking distance of many restaurants or the main towns of Adamas, Plaka, or Pollonia.
A rental car or ATV is highly recommended and considered essential for guests to explore the island and reach dining options. The hotel is conveniently located approximately 3.7 miles (6 km) from Milos Island National Airport (a 9-20 minute drive) and about a 15-minute drive from Adamas Port and the island's center. Provatas Beach is just a few minutes' drive away, and Kipos Beach is a 13-minute walk. The southern location can also offer protection from northern winds.
7. Value & Pricing
Guests consistently rate Noma Milos as offering excellent value for money. On Agoda, it holds a perfect 10.0 rating for value, and on Booking.com, it scores 9.7. The average room price is noted to be around $310, which is considered a budget-friendly option compared to the average hotel room price of $360 on Milos Island, especially given the luxurious experience it provides. While the overall experience is seen as exceptional value, guests should be aware that breakfast might be an additional surcharge, and seasonal city taxes apply.
8. Common Complaints
The primary consideration for guests, rather than a complaint, is the hotel's somewhat remote location. While praised for its peace and quiet, this remoteness means a rental car or ATV is necessary to access restaurants and explore the island's main towns and attractions. Some guests have noted that driving at night on the island's winding roads can be dark.
Additionally, some reviews suggest the hotel has fewer on-site facilities like a large swimming pool or multiple dining venues (beyond breakfast), with one guest explicitly stating it has "no facilities" but is perfect for peace and quiet. This characteristic aligns with its boutique, tranquil, and adults-only ethos, which is designed for romantic getaways rather than bustling family vacations.
