There was so much to LOVE about our stay at Living Theros. The hotel was our sixth place in our bucket list adventure and their accommodations were stunning. Opulent (yet somehow casual) touches throughout: marble stairs and flooring, crochet lamps that cast a soft, warm glow, cave bathroom. Comfortable nooks were appropriately designed. Views of the water and ambient nature sounds (goats, cicadas, birds) struck a peaceful vibe. It was a serene and unforgettable experience of elegance and relaxation. The delightful breakfast spread was carefully crafted with the finest local and fresh ingredients. We loved walking around this gorgeous village set into the mountains of Kardiani and enjoyed talking with residents and we took many photographs. Panagiotis and Vassilis were excellent hosts. With good health, we hope to return.

The village of Kardiani was out of the way, about 12 miles from the town of Tinos. It appeared that there was bus service from my research, but when we arrived, we discovered that the bus stop was blocked by parked cars. It appeared that the beach was close by and walkable, but actually there were no sidewalks. Taxis are expensive. For me, that I feel uncomfortable renting a car, ATV, or motorcycle, this was a problem. Also, when booking about six weeks ahead, the nightly rate was high and nonrefundable. (Now the price is quite reasonable for the same room.) I would say, caveat emptor, but if you are willing to rent a car, stay there!

Tastefully appointed room, jaw-dropping view across the sea to Syros, and traditional village setting. Our 'Deluxe suite' was a great size for a couple for a weekend, practically set out and complete with amenities. Breakfast brought to your room at a pre-agreed time of your choice.

Everything was great, only the welcome could have been a little warmer and an offer of help carrying our bags to the rooms would have been appreciated.

Believe it, I liked everything about the property. A beautiful home away from your perfect home. Worth visiting outside your Tinos attractions on its own. Host and property beyond the stars we can afford. If off-season weather allows, and you are a seasoned hiker, the walk down (and maybe up) to the beach is amazing. If you are island hopping, this is a perfect spot to rest and restore. The attention to home and detail is beyond expectation, aesthetically and functionally (LG Fridge and Bosch washer)

Nothing to critique

Second time in Tinos but first time in Kardiani and I will definitely visit again. The property is very well located and our host did his outmost to make us feel welcome and share his passion for the island. The room was small but had access to the most gorgeous terrace overlooking the Aegean. The breakfast was good, served at our preferred time at the room or the terrace. Good selection of drinks and snacks at the mini bar. Great value for money! Perivoli restaurant is just 5 minutes away and we really enjoyed their fabulous cousine twice.

As mentioned the specific room was small so if you are planning to stay all day in your A/C reading your book I would not recommend it. Also Kardiani is a traditional village with limited car access and parking capacity. The folks from living theros helped us with our suitcases on arrival and departure but you still park 10-15 minutes away. I would not recommend the place if you have mobility issues. Parking was ok during our stay however we were there at the beginning of the touristic season so not sure how easy it'd be finding parking in August.

Our recent stay at Theros Living in Kardiani, Tinos, was nothing short of extraordinary. Nestled in the charming village of Kardiani, this boutique property is a true gem that offers a perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and authentic Greek hospitality. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and attentiveness by the staff. A special mention must go to Mr. Panagiotis, whose exceptional hospitality set the tone for our entire stay. His dedication to ensuring every guest feels at home is truly remarkable. He went above and beyond to accommodate our every need, providing invaluable recommendations for local experiences and dining. The facilities at Theros Living are impeccable. The rooms are beautifully designed, combining modern elegance with traditional Cycladic elements. Our room was spacious, immaculately clean, and offered breathtaking views of the Aegean Sea. Every detail, from the luxurious bedding to the well-appointed bathroom, contributed to a sense of serene comfort. The property also boasts a lovely balcony where we enjoyed our morning breakfast while soaking in the tranquil atmosphere of Kardiani. I must also commend the gentleman who assisted with our luggage. He not only ensured our bags were delivered promptly to our room but did so with such grace and kindness, making us feel truly valued as guests. The attention to detail, the high standard of service, and the genuine care for guests are what make Theros Living stand out. It is clear that the team takes great pride in providing an exceptional experience, and they succeed in doing so with flying colors. In conclusion, Theros Living is more than just a place to stay; it is an experience that leaves you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Whether you are seeking a peaceful retreat or an adventure exploring the beauty of Tinos, Theros Living is the perfect base. I highly recommend this wonderful property to anyone visiting the island and cannot wait to return.

I had a perfect stay in the smallest room of the hotel, it had everything I needed, even a beautiful little garden. It has a comfortable bed, great linens, a small fridge and a perfect bathroom, plus many other treats and unexpected luxuries! The decor is minimal and traditional in the most beautiful way and the breakfast delivered to my room was out of this world! Local delicious products, the best breakfast I've had in a long time! Kardiani is also a breathtaking town! The manager went above and beyond to be accommodating and kind, he was wonderful to talk to about the town's history and even had a small treat for me at the end of the stay. There was someone to help with luggage as well. Staying here was more than a visit, it was a wonderful cultural experience in Tinos! I hope to return again!

The facilities with great and simple Greek style design. The amazing views from the terrace, from every window you open and especially from the roof. The amazing roof equipped with everything you need to relax, including a gorgeous small pool. But on top of all of that, amazing owners who did everything that they could to make our stay perfect. Panagiotis was more than the hotel owner he became a friend, helping us with everything we needed. He has amazing knowledge about history and a great partner for a good conversation. The location in the middle of one of the most beautiful villages in Tinos is a bonus as well. And last, Perivoli = a culinary jewl in the heart of kardiani 2 minute walk from the hotel that can easily be named the best tavern in Tinos and one of the best in Greece

The suite is beautifully decorated, every nook is cozy and comfortable. The standout though is the view. It is breathtaking and you get to enjoy it from a stunning private balcony. Nice breakfast too brought to your room

Getting to it can be challenging—you leave the car at the beginning of the village on a steep incline and there are several steps and a path-gorgeous but challenging. Pack light though the staff is always willing to help. It did get easier after the first time and the end result is worth the effort

1. The amazing view 2. The fusion of traditional and contemporary architecture 3. The interior decoration is amazing, with several decorative elements of light cement mortar.. which I love 4. Full use of indoor and outdoor spaces 5. The Jaguzzi on the veranda 6. Breakfast is served at the doatio. Unlikely 7. The courteous behavior and oversupply of the staff

1. It is recommended that the water be heated in the Jaguzzi for the cold autumn days and beyond 2. Underground the twisted cables of the PPC because they are a bit disturbing to see. Observation from a demanding customer who pays attention to the smallest detail.

Breakfast was delivered every morning at a pre arranged time. Dimitris had amazing communication through out our stay. He provided delicious dining suggestions. Also, gifted us with tickets to a local museum! You will need a car to get around the island. I loved that the hotel was in an authentic Greek village. Locals spoke to us everyday and made us feel welcome. The bathroom was a cool experience (felt like we were showering in a cave). Bed was very comfortable. Wi-fi worked great! Room was clean, I enjoyed the fresh plants! I would highly recommend. You could walk to a good restaurant that had spectacular views of the sunset.

Parking was terrible. Lots of stairs to get to hotel. Our room the view was only enjoyed from the terrace. You could see the ocean from every window...but only if you stood in front of the window. You couldn't enjoy the view while laying in bed.
