"Nice large room that could have benefited from some additional furniture such as a couch or chairs, as well as cups & tea/coffee to complement the kettle provided. Balcony was ok but had to step over the constant stream of water coming from a damaged external pipe to get to the furniture. Bathroom ok with limited space to put products and shower felt like a cave due to no lights in the shower area. Rest of the hotel that I saw was clean and well maintained. Friendly staff."

5 Star service. In 35 years of travel, this was by far the best service and staff I have experienced. Help with planning sight seeing, recommendations, and tickets. The chef was amazing with the breakfast. The villa was top notch with a great bed, pool, hot tub/Jacuzzi, patio area. Secluded, so not to worry about tourist watching you in your villa. Free transportation from the Port and Airport. Highly recommended, with great views of the sunset.

Well maintained, clean and modern property. We were here during the low season but still the property was full with tourists. Property is not facing the water as the pictures show but has water views. We stayed in a suite that had 2 bathrooms, a jacuzzi and our own pool.so a lot more than a regular suite. This would be awesome when warmer. Great property and very friendly staff.

The highest of hospitality you can ever imagine. The staff will take your bags to your room and also when you leave. They will make all your reservations for your restaurants, tours, cabs, car rentals, ect. Will give all the recommendations you need. This spot is a great location in the middle of the island, can walk the trail to Oia on the path that’s along the hotel, walking to Fira the other way. Easy to walk to the bus stations.

The hotel itself is more boutiquey and unique in a good way. We loved our Superior Suite which was spacious and comfortable and always clean. When we got there Melanie greeted us and helped wheel in some of our luggage.
The services that I really appreciated:
- unlimited free bottled water (although you're really paying for it in your hotel fee)
- generous breakfast included - you order from a menu (see photo)
- offer to pre-arrange shuttle or private car to/from airport and you pay the hotel...
