Reviews and Ratings
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were cozy and had a dining table, and the semi-private balconies were a nice touch. However, descending several steps to get to Reception was a bit inconvenient. The service was top-notch, and the staff really went above and beyond to make my stay special. The location was perfect, close to everything I needed. The dining experience overlooking the caldera was unforgettable, with fresh dishes made from local ingredients.
The hotel is wonderfully located on the island, offering amazing views and being close to various dining options. The rooms feature semi-private balconies with the bed positioned at the back for privacy. The service is top-notch, providing convenient amenities such as room service and tours assistance. The dining experience, with a view of the caldera and dishes made from fresh local ingredients, is a highlight. The facilities are exceptional, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable stay.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The location is superb, positioned down the cliff in a beautiful area of Santorini, and the semi-private balconies offer stunning caldera views. However, you'll need to descend several steps to reach Reception, which can be a little tiresome. The room had a unique setup with a dining table in front of the bed, providing a cozy atmosphere.
The hotel is tucked down the cliff from the main pedestrian way, offering a unique and amazing view in a cave setting. The rooms come with semi-private balconies and a cozy bed at the back, but there are several steps to descend to reach Reception. The dining experience offers captivating views of the caldera with dishes prepared from fresh local ingredients. Overall, a charming stay with some minor accessibility challenges.
