Aria Lito Mansion

With only around ten rooms, the hotel felt quiet and there was plenty of room to enjoy the garden and pool. It’s right in the middle of things, but inside it felt like a peaceful little paradise. The staff were lovely and looked after us well. We mentioned we were vegetarian, and they adjusted breakfast and checked in during our stay to make sure we were happy. Breakfast was tasty and filling each day. They also sent a bottle of champagne to our room as a welcome gift, and kept us supplied with as much water as we needed. We loved being here.

I liked relaxing in the outdoor areas, and the room was roomy, well equipped, and had a nice minibar. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the central location put shops and restaurants within easy reach. Breakfast outside looked charming, but I prefer eating indoors. Wild cats and insects made it hard to enjoy the meal calmly, so an indoor option would be welcome. Finding the entrance was also difficult because it’s tucked along the side of the building. A cleaning staff member showed me reception, and clearer signs to the lobby would help future guests.

Breakfast was included every day and was unreal, with so much care put into it. Aria Lito Mansion was a great base in Santorini, right by the town centre with everything easy to reach on foot. Our room was clean, tidy, comfortable, and air conditioned. The staff were generous and helped with whatever we wanted or needed. Thanks for making our stay so good, we’ll be back!

We found parking nearby, though it filled up early during the peak season when we visited. The boutique hotel is tucked into Fira village, so shops and restaurants are easy to reach on foot. Our room was great, and we got a different gourmet breakfast each morning.
