Delightful staff for whom nothing was too much trouble. Distant sea views over a combination of olive groves, vineyards, scrubland and a disused quarry gave a hint of the Santorini of previous generations, as did the pricing in their excellent nearby restaurant. The location may not be at the same level as the rooms but the pricing more than compensates for that.

Such a friendly and helpful staff. This was the best travel experience and hotel stay we have ever had. If you want to have staff that can recommend great authentic palces to eat and the spots you can go without a lot of tourists, this is it. Also there is an amazing view from your room. Just beautiful no matter the time of day.

My husband and I chose this hotel for our honeymoon in Greece. We both left with our expectations met and exceeded! This hotel is in a more peaceful location compared to the business of Oia or Fira, but still close enough to drive to most locations on the island in 15-25 minutes. The hotel itself is very clean, modern, and tastefully decorated. We enjoyed using our heated private pool and eating the free breakfast every morning. Staff here are very friendly and accommodating. Our flight didn’t leave until 9 p.m. The staff allowed us to leave our baggage with them in a secure location and use the facilities even after our checkout time! Overall, it was a very relaxing and pleasant trip. If we are ever on the Island of Santorini, we will certainly book here again!

Where do I even begin? Staying at this hotel was an absolute dream come true and one of the highlights of our time in Santorini. I cannot speak highly enough of the entire team. Nathalie, Bruna and Maria at reception were exceptional from the moment we arrived. They were warm, kind, welcoming and attentive throughout our entire stay. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and they were always available whenever we needed anything. You genuinely feel their love for Santorini and their passion for sharing their beautiful home with their guests. The restaurant and grounds staff were equally wonderful. Everyone we encountered was accommodating, thoughtful and committed to making our stay special. The property itself is breathtaking. We were fortunate enough to receive upgrades for both of our rooms, and they were incredible. The facilities, attention to detail and setting exceeded our expectations. The location is perfect if you are looking for a quieter, more private side of Santorini, away from the crowds. And the reward is one of the most spectacular views on the island. Waking up to the Santorini landscape from your bed, enjoying the view from your tub, or relaxing in the infinity pool overlooking the island is something we will never forget. Thank you to the entire team for such a fantastic stay and making us feel so welcome. After travelling extensively, stays like this are the ones you remember. We left wishing we had more time, and there is no doubt we will be back

We stayed at Elessa for 6 nights. It was amazing! The room was extremely spacious with the largest bath I've ever seen. We had a private pool with an incredible view. The main pool area was stunning and we did not use it enough. Location was unexpectedly perfect. Pyrgos is a really pretty little hilltop town with some great views and food, away.from the crowds of the major city. Breakfast was delicious each day, and the bar had a great range of cocktails. We ate at the restaurant one night and ordered room service on several others. Our only regret with the restaurant was to know to order a fish of the day the day before as they don't have them available if you don't preorder. My only slightest recommendation to the management would be to have an extra bottle of water in the room each day.
