Beautiful view of the sea, walking distance to the shops/restaurants, super friendly and helpful staff!
Hotel is in perfect location to visit all the sight in Oia. The staff at the property are amazing and cannot do enough to help you, great advice and kind. Loved our stay would definitely recommend.
Chrisa at the front desk = next wife material! Super friendly, very helpful in making dinner and transportation reservations! The pool and pool bar scenes were both wonderful. Super serene, a beautiful ocean view and just a five minute walk to The Blue Dome Churches in downtown Eia! I’m coming back here next year!
This hotel is amazing , Chrisa was awesome, ever-time I had a question she would answer right away. Loved the hotel very clean , 6 mt walk from the strip . Breakfast was so delicious. We rented a car 1 day and chrisa called the company and got us our car taken to the hotel in 10 mts, and they go pick it up also . So very convenient. Loved our stay In oia would definitely recommend this hotel . I know I would go back !!!
Amazing stay here. My girlfriend and I enjoyed this hotel, the view of the sunset by the pool was outstanding aswell. Very peaceful quiet hotel, amazing for couples.
Absolutely brilliant hotel to stay in Santorini. Highly recommended, as lovely staff, great location and views, clean accommodation etc.... Cannot fault this place.
Best hotel service ever. Super friendly staff. Great breakfast options, and the food quality is excellent. Skip the crowds in Oia and enjoy sunset views directly from the balcony. We will definitely stay here again in the future.
The hotel had a lovely infinity pool and a beautiful view of the sunset. It had very nice deck chairs. Our room was comfortable and everything looks good. The people who work there were very helpful. The breakfast could have been a little more attractive and bountiful, but it was OK. The hotel was within easy walking distance of town, but we were able to park at the hotel.
I loved this place and would highly recommend it! Its walking distance from the main Oia area and the property has beautiful views. Super clean, has amazing breakfast and staff and is worth every penny.
This is one the best places to stay in OIA. If this hotel is still available there is no need for you to look for others. Breakfast is one of the best we have ever had in any hotels. Staff are very kind and exceptionally sweet. They go way beyond to make you comfortable and answer any questions you have around here. Overall the BEST place around for you to stay.
A really lovely stay. Private, quiet but very close to the centre of town. Chrisa gave great recommendations and the other staff members were great as well especially the woman at breakfast and the barman. We enjoyed meeting the resident dog Rex. Cannot recommend enough.
Good structure. Great breakfast. Attentive staff. Suggestion: bring the breakfast start time forward (it only starts at 8:30 AM). Located about 500 meters from the center of Oiá, however the path is steep and part of the street does not have a sidewalk for pedestrians.
