We had a lovely stay. Vickie was wonderful, she reached out to us the day we were arriving to make sure we had a transfer from the airport. Thankfully she did, bc it was raining and the location of the hotel, while stunning, we did not realize it was down in the bay. The easiest way to access it, especially with luggage, is to be driven down to Ammoudi Bay. There are 254 steps that take you up to Oia, its a beautiful stroll, especially after a meal, or you can Uber there. The hotel is near at least 3 delicious restaurants, all with stunning views. We were in Room 1 at the top, and it felt like a nice retreat from the crowds.

Stay at this hotel for the picturesque view! Great place for a short stay. I say short stay only because it is a journey getting to your room as far as stairs. Pack very light, as you will absolutely not want to carry much up to your room. We absolutely enjoyed our stay. The hotel is very clean. We thoroughly enjoyed our balcony and the view. We enjoyed dinner at one of the restaurants on the waterfront. Vicki was very pleasant and helpful at reception. I would advise to shuttle to and from hotel. We were very lucky to get street parking. But apparently the street nearby is usually not accessible.

The property is beautiful, amazing view & Vicki, our host, was incredibly helpful. I highly recommend this property, but there is one hitch - you have to walk up 10 min. of steep stairs to get to town. It's right next to the water & the town is way up high. There's only expensive restaurants down by the water. It's a 20 euro taxi ride to get your luggage up the hill, & that's where thebus stop is. That's where everything is. So unless you want to walk up & down uneven steps & get a taxi to get anywhere instead of the bus, get a place in town. Vicki was fantastic though - almost worth all the extra effort & money just to meet her. 😊

The rooms are beautiful with a gorgeous view. The walk and climbing the stairs up to the resort was a little tricky as I just had knee surgery but definitely worth it for the view and accommodation. The beds are extremely firm if you are used to a softer bed.

Beautiful location but have to be able to do stairs to get around. Seafood dining close, other restaurants up the stairs in Oia. Very convenient for a catamaran tour. Will stay here again, just to look over the water when you get up and go to bed
