Amazing property! Beautiful view and in a location that’s perfect if you want peace and quiet. Vicki at the reception was SUPER helpful with organizing transportation and excursions while on the island - she alone made my trip 10x easier. Highly recommend!

This place was amazing and in a beautiful location right where the nice restaurants are and most of the boat tours leave from which was great! I’m truly greatful for the late check-in where reception was ready to great us and check-in after midnight, she was friendly and welcoming. You can’t ask for more for definitely worth the price!

Even though we had to lug our luggage up the steps to the hotel, we loved it! No complaints here. Vicky in reception reached out to me a week before to arrange transportation from the airport to the hotel as well as our transfer to the ferry. She also arrange to have our luggage brought down to the shuttle on our departure. The restaurants below the hotel were wonderful. Wish we had more time to spend at Lava Stone to enjoy the sunrise. Walking the 250 steps up to take pictures by the blue domes were well worth it. Loved everything about Greece. Recommendation, do your shopping in Athens because it’s so much cheaper than the islands.

Beautiful water views. We loved sitting outside on the patio and we even saw a cruise ship leaving one evening. The rooms were beautiful and cleaned every day with great AC in each room. The downside of this location is that you’ll need to pay for transportation up to Oia every time you want to go somewhere. Spent hundreds of Euros in just three days and never went further south than the ferry port. We did the stairs twice, but you’re not going to want to do that climb every time you want to go somewhere. Walking down is easier and you can also walk along in the street which we did. But there is no car parking down in Ammoudi Bay. There are four restaurants. We ate at one for lunch and it was over 130€ for 3 drinks, bread, hummus and two salads. Other than those four restaurants there is a small shop that has a limited amount of ice cream, coffee, and a few deli sandwiches. Also there are 20-30 steps up to the rooms. They will help you with your luggage. It’s a nice place to stay. It’s just not convenient to exploring Santorini.

Lava Stone was great! My husband and I arrived 2-3 hours before check in and we were able to grab lunch at the Ammoudi Bay fish tavern and check in early. Staff was friendly and accommodating. The are A LOT of steps to get to this hotel, so if that is a problem, don’t stay here. The VIEWS and atmosphere are so worth the stairs!

Staying at Lava stone was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived after midnight to facilitating our later checkin and very early check out. We were captivated by the breathtaking views from our room. Our room was not only impeccably clean and beautifully decorated but also offered stunning views of the sunset. The hotel's location was perfect for exploring Oia. The highlight of our stay was undoubtedly enjoying breakfast on the terrace overlooking the Aegean Sea, a truly magical way to start the day. Without a doubt, lava stone exceeded all our expectations, and we cannot wait to return to this slice of paradise.

We enjoyed our stay at lava stone in Ammoudi bay. The property is very nice and clean. Georgia the housekeeper was super kind and helpful. Niko’s was very kind and welcoming and they were able to accommodate us for an earlier check in since we arrived early in the morning. If you plan on going to Oia on foot be prepared to climb 250 stairs to reach there or pay for a taxi every time . It is also a bit further from the airport and a cab will cost you €55. The options near by for food are a bit limited but overall our experience was great . The view from them rooms is unbeatable and the peace and quiet as well.
