Beautiful property with the best views in Oia. Secluded yet easily accessible to all restaurants and shops nearby, including the iconic Oia Blue Dome Church. Amazing service with staff that is courteous and takes pride in their work. The room was exceptionally clean with daily turn service. We stay at many 5star hotels and this one tops them all.

This hotel is pure joy! From the dreamiest location, beautifully manicured grounds, the perfect suites with the most amazing views/top tier room comforts to the staff: they manage customer service as a finely tuned instrument: they surprised us at every turn from a keepsake welcome gift, scheduling transport, the onsite dining option was superb, reservations for local activities, turndown service included sweets & setting your slippers in front of the bed, they were delightful in every interaction from a simple ice bucket to ensuring the perfect temperature for swimming, they went above and beyond to make sure all was going as planned or better. Truly an unforgettable stay ! We are already planning to return!

An excellent small luxury hotel. Everything was perfect from checkin to checkout. We stayed for 10 days and could have stayed longer. The staff and service were exemplary. The restaurant was very good and the table service breakfast was excellent. A 12 out of 10 experience.

I cannot say enough good things about this hotel. Just book it and you’ll see why! In the loveliest part of Santorini (in my opinion) with the best customer service & the property itself is like something out of a movie. When you close your eyes and think of Santorini, this is the spot you’d be thinking about! Cannot wait to return

Hotel is located at the start of the caldera so it is perfectly quiet and easy to get to. It is convenient if you rent a vehicle as parking is right across the street. But it is also a five minute walk to the Oia square.

Wow! What a stunning and beautiful hotel. The interiors and design are to a high quality and let’s not forgot about the most amazing view of the caldera and sea. The staff are amazing, they are on a 5 star service level. The what’s app messaging service we used all the time, saves you having to go to reception and they are available to chat 24/7. The breakfast areas were lovely, the great options to suit everyone’s tastes. The restaurant was amazing!! The pool area was lovely with comfortable loungers and the swim up bar was perfect for the hot days. The location is perfect , in walking distance into the main part of Oia which makes it peaceful and away from the busy areas. The only little negative was the room just didn’t seem to flow and wasn’t comfortable in terms of getting ready, with no plugs beside mirrors, surfaces to put things on. And also lacked seats on our outside balcony to sit as a couple and take in the sea views. But we did get a lovely upgrade on our last night which was very special and the honeymoon suite was very nice and spacious and felt more comfortable than our other room. Overall we had a magical stay and would highly recommend!
