The “hot tub” is actually a cold tub. The hotel explained that the solar panels and air temperature affect the water, but they acknowledged it was cold and unlikely to change. Since the hot tub was one reason I booked this room, I may have chosen differently had I known.
That said, the location and view made the stay worthwhile. Being at the top of the caldera meant we didn’t have to climb eight flights of stairs every time we left, which was a huge plus.
The sunset view is incredible. You can watch the entire sunset over the caldera from your private terrace and skip the crowds in Oia altogether. Pour a glass of wine and enjoy one of the best views on the island without leaving your room.
The room was clean, the staff was lovely, and breakfast was excellent—delivered to our terrace each morning at the time we selected. Housekeeping was a little persistent even with the Do Not Disturb sign up, but everyone was kind.
The location was great: about 7 minutes from Fira by ATV and 15–20 minutes from Oia. ATV rentals are directly across the street at the market (€75/day), with a few shops and restaurants nearby. Despite the convenience, it’s very quiet.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The location, breakfast, staff, and especially the caldera and sunset views were fantastic. The cold “hot tub” was the only real disappointment.
