We loved our stay at Caldera Cliff Illusion. The staff, particularly Sofia were so helpful with our booking, activity suggestions and anything else that we needed. The stay was comfortable and quiet. Having our own pool was amazing, especially in the heat of July. Breakfast being delivered each morning to enjoy on our balcony was also a great touch. Would recommend this accomodation for couples that like to be a few street away from the hustle bustle of Santorini in July, without being too far from the action.

We had such an amazing stay here! Sophia and the staff are great! The place was very clean, had an amazing view, and was in the perfect spot of town to avoid the main crowd but still in the heart of Fira. We stayed 12 nights and had the most relaxing time in Santorini. Sophia gave great recommendations on the island and can schedule activities, transports, and really anything you need. The breakfasts were also really good and they packed us to go bags on mornings we were out early for activities. If we are ever back in Santorini we have a go to spot!

Cannot say enough good things about this property and my stay there. The pictures are real, and they do not get any better. Bed was comfy, room was roomy, balcony and in-suite spa were welcoming and relaxing. Front desk doubles as your concierge and they were pleasant and most helpful. Would definitley stay there again.

I was a bit skeptical when booking this stay due to the lack of reviews but I am so happy that I booked with them. Everything was perfect from the room, to location and the staff is amazing. The gentleman who works there is super nice and helpful and so is Sofia. The breakfast is plenty and yummy. The rooms are a good size and quiet at night where you can get good sleep. I would definitely come back and stay here.

What a lucky find! When you book online you are never really sure what you’re going to get. The view, service, location was simply the best and exceeded our expectations by miles. It wasn’t cheap but well worth the expense.

Great property. Very close to the cable company, restaurants and stores. Great staff, ella was amazing. Breakfast was great, although same food everyday delivered to your room. Would definitely recommend. For this hotel, have your sneakers ready. Lots of walking/hiking. My only con was the hot tub was not hot enough during our stay. Its called a hot tub, not a warm tub.

Absolutely stay at the Caldera Cliff Illusion

Caldera Cliff Illusion was fantastic. Between the huge and delicious breakfast delivered to your door, the phenomenal view of the caldera from your balcony and jacuzzi (note the temperature is not that of a hot tub...but even in mid October with the strong sun and low 70s we preferred it as a warm plunge pool), the stunning sunsets, and great service, I don't know what we liked the most. It was enough out of Fira to be quiet but a 3-5 minute walk into town and right by excellent galleries, etc. It made our trip to Santorini special and we couldn't be more grateful to this fantastic hotel and its caring staff.
