Katharsis Palace 15th c. Art Hotel Naxos Old Town I

A Refined Retreat in a Venetian Archbishop's Mansion

A Historic Sanctuary in the Castle of Naxos

Room I is located within a 15th–16th century Venetian mansion that once served as the residence of the Catholic Archbishop of Naxos and the Cyclades. Acquired by the current family in 1923, the building has been carefully preserved, offering a unique blend of heritage and contemporary comfort.

The Room – Tradition & Comfort

A spacious private studio (35 sq.m.) with a queen-size double bed and a combined lounge/workspace.

Restored stone walls and original architectural features reveal centuries of layered history.

Fully equipped kitchenette with stove, fridge, coffee maker, and essentials for light meals or breakfast at your pace.

Private bathroom with shower or bathtub, premium toiletries, robes, and warm lighting.

Modern Conveniences

Air conditioning, Wi-Fi, streaming-enabled TV, workspace, washing machine, and dryer.

Soundproof and quiet, with a private entrance and pet-friendly accommodation upon request.

Outdoor access to a private patio or garden area—perfect for enjoying breakfast, an afternoon read, or the Aegean breeze.

The Rooftop – Sunset Over Centuries

In the evening (6 PM – 10 PM), guests are welcome to the shared rooftop terrace with:

Panoramic views of the Temple of Apollo, the sea, and the rooftops of the Old Town—arguably the best sunset viewpoint in Naxos.

A curated tasting experience of local wine, Naxian cheeses, olives, and Cycladic treats.

A tranquil, elevated setting for reflection, connection, or simple relaxation.

Culture, Clarity & Catharsis

At Katharsis, your stay is more than a night’s rest—it’s a journey into Greek identity and philosophy.

Optional cultural sessions (Greek language, storytelling, mythology) are offered in small groups within the mansion.

Spaces for yoga, meditation, and wellness therapies using organic, local products are available on request.

The ambiance throughout promotes thoughtful simplicity, silence, and inner balance.

The Neighborhood – Living History

Room I is located within the heart of the Venetian Castle District (Kastro), the highest and most historic part of Naxos Old Town:

Cobbled alleys, noble mansions, medieval chapels, and centuries-old walls surround the property.

The castle is a car-free zone—peaceful, walkable, and rich in character.

Just 2–5 minutes from the port, the promenade, museums, and the beach of Agios Georgios—yet it feels like a world apart.

A Note on the Property

Room I is part of a protected architectural monument. Every restoration has been carried out with deep respect for its cultural importance, offering guests not just a stay, but a meaningful and immersive encounter with the soul of Naxos.
