Hotel Afroessa in our opinion was in the best location of Santorini. The Caldera views were breath taking. Imerovigili was definitely the place to stay for us. October was a great time to visit, as less crowds in Oia & Fira. Expensive to eat & drink out but we knew this before going.

The staff were nice and the location is quiet but our room was not in a good condition. First of all, we only had one light in the bathroom throughout the duration of our stay. Secondly, the toilet seat was broken which made it hard to use the toilet without being hit by the seat cover. Lastly, there are yellow and brown stains on our bedsheets as well as the towels even though I am sure they were clean and properly washed. It is hard to look past the these details.

We had a great stay here, and I'd definitely recommend this hotel. It had dead-on perfect sunset views right from our room / hot tub, and was a 30 minute walk to Fira or a 2-hour hike to Oia. Being in the middle allowed us to explore the island nicely. I was surprised by the fact that we had to turn on the hot water every time we wanted to use it and that we couldn't drink from the tap. Also, the AC could be better, but it was not terrible. We had a minor drain buildup in our bathroom the first night, but the front desk person helped us right away. However, it took two days to get new towels and our room was never properly cleaned (but that's more because our timing didn't align with housekeeping). Nice place, cute area away from the business of the main towns. I'd stay there again for sure!

To clarify, they changed the reservation to the Caldera 360 few days prior to booking, but the same team, Caldera Houses, manages this property. So this review is not regarding Afroessa. They arranged pickup from the airport which we took and that was great. The house was clean. The shower was tough because the entire bathroom floor got wet since there’s no curtain. No rideshare services so you have to rely on them setting up transportation or renting a car (would recommend this as he mentioned a 12 Euro minimum for their arrangements). Having your own car is significantly better. There was one afternoon where the cleaning lady came in to clean. We were told cleaning happened at 11am so we left the villa to accommodate this. When we returned we assumed she was no longer coming, and received no communication otherwise. A heads up would go a long way in such cases, as she just let herself in.

Lovely!

A lovely boutique hotel in an amazing setting. It has a cosy and laid-back vibe. Our room was great - large, simply but adequately furnished, with a private terrace to enjoy that view and sunset! Breakfasts were good, Eddy and the team were great. The pool is larger than most, and rarely busy. Location is quiet but close to the village centre. Highly recommended.
