Garden & Villas Resort

We spent our honeymoon at Botania Relais & Spa this summer. The service was exceptional and the facilities were stunning, relaxing, and exactly what we needed to recover from a busy few weeks. Claudia in particular was amazing – we arrived at Botania without any plans to experience the island, and by the first afternoon of our trip, she had helped us plan a whole itinerary down to the restaurant reservations. Additionally, we loved the bar at La Grotta and enjoyed many an aperitivo and nightcap made by Onofrio.

I've just spent 2 nights at this gorgeous hotel. What can I say? Everything about this hotel is amazing, the rooms, gardens, restaurants and bars. The staff are so friendly and nothing is too much trouble. The owner Rita is so friendly and personally showed me to my room. I usually don't sleep well in hotels but I've had the best sleep since I got here and I am so sorry to leave. All the rooms are individually styled and so comfortable with their own entrances, a little like your own villas. The cave bar is a must to visit, such a lovely setting. The food is all home made and the vegetables and herbs all grown in their own gardens and is so tasty and the presentation is amazing. Definitely worth a stay, you won't be disappointed.

I can not express how beautiful the property is. Beyond the property, you will not find a better staff that actually anticipates your needs. Our ferry was cancelled and without their help, we never would have made to our next destination. The hotel and staff understands how getting the little things right makes ones stay amazing. My wife and I could not have been happier, only wish we stayed longer

What a wonderful Relais. From the moment we arrived at this oasis of calm and tranquility we felt incredibly welcomed by a team of warm smiling staff. We were effortlessly checked in and then driven by golf buggy around the resort to orientate us and then shown to our accomodation. Our room was beautifully presented with gorgeous amenities and welcome message and gifts. The resort offers a wide range of options for relaxation starting with indoor plunge pools, day spa facilities, 2 outdoor thermal pools and culminating in a half Olympic sized main pool. There are a number of dining options starting with an incredible breakfast selection, various lunch and dinner options featuring typically authentic local dishes. The Relais has a strong emphasis on sustainability with this flowing through to a zero kilometre dining experience in their vegetarian restaurant and a lot of produce grown on site. But what made this property exceptional was the staff. Our guest relations manager, Claudia arranged spa treatments, shuttles to nearby attractions, making it a truly stress free experience as guests. Restaurant manager Nico supported by the smiling and efficient Viviana made each of our restaurant visits an occasion to remember. And the spa treatments provided by Davide and Alessandra were wonderful. This is all packaged up in the most beautifully presented and manicure gardens that hide you away from the outside world. Be under no illusion, this is an expensive property to stay at, but we can attest to its value for money when you consider the various value adds on offer. If at all possible we will return.

My husband and I could not have been happier with our stay…we wished we could have stayed longer. This was the end destination of our vacation and it was a wonderful place to recharge before heading back home! From the second you enter the reception area, you will be happy with your choice of staying here. The grounds are beautiful and so well kept. Our room was beautiful and had many amenities to make our stay very comfortable. The pool area was a wonderful area to relax. And last but not least, the staff goes above and beyond to make sure you truly have a wonderful stay. In particular, Claudia works so hard to make sure you are making the most out of your stay. She will help plan your daily schedule to fit your needs…do as little or as much as you want! We also really enjoyed our meals during our stay, so much so, that we decided to take advantage of the restaurants on the premise! Onofrio was one of the bartender/servers who really made our stay great….we enjoyed live music outside the cave bar one evening, Onofrio and his colleagues made for a wonderful evening for us, with their top notch service. The spa is a wonderful place to relax at, so be sure to use it too! The staff there as well could not have been more accommodating! Stay here, you will not be disappointed!
