The owner was quick to reply and incredibly helpful, and the suite had everything we needed. Restaurants, a supermarket, and a bus stop are all within walking distance, which made the location a real plus. We also had beautiful sunset views from the room. Spectacular outlook and exceptional service, a perfect spot for our trip. Breakfast was great, too.

The service was excellent, and breakfast was just as good. Parking is more than ample. The hotel sits on a hill between the port and Fira, but there isn’t much nearby, so you’ll need to drive to reach a beach or restaurant. The rooms were very nice and comfortable, with everything we wanted.

We misjudged this place and should have booked somewhere else. At £134 a night, it felt too expensive, especially since a car was really needed. It’s about 40 mins on foot to Fira, 20 mins to Lidl, and 10 mins uphill to a bakery. The buses come hourly, but the stop is also a 10-minute walk away. There isn’t much of note in the area. The room was large and reasonably equipped, set above disused retail units and reached by stairs. It overlooks the caldera, but the view is over Santorini’s busiest road, so it wasn’t very peaceful. There was no water one day.

The apartment looks great, with an amazing view, and the staff on site were very helpful. Its central position on the island gives you plenty of places to visit. The main drawback is the road outside, which can get loud sometimes.
