An impeccable hotel, a private pool with deckchair, a magnificent view and perfect calm ... the very very helpful and pleasant staff, a person to pick up your luggage very friendly and kind thank you for this wonderful stay!!!

The breakfast was very good and was delivered to the room. Someone helped with the baggage, I took the initiative to give a tip, the service was very good, the next day to catch the early flight, specifically to help us prepare a light meal in advance.

Thank you, Renta and staff, for a memorable stay in Santorini. I had some doubts about the suites’ location overlooking the Caldera and the climbing that might be required, but the hotel is easily accessible with lovely gentlemen who take your luggage down to your room and pick it up when you are ready to leave. The accommodations are roomy, well appointed, and have an incredible view of the sea. We had our own patio where we could eat an ample breakfast delivered every morning. On these same mornings when we were very lucky, a parade of donkeys and one mule would clop by the path near the hotel, carrying materials to nearby sites. Of course our stay in November meant that many restaurants and shops in Imeroviglia were closed, but Fira is nearby. Renta will call Nico to give you a ride into town. Both of them are so gracious and accommodating that we very much enjoyed our stay. Following Renta’s advice, we took the catamaran tour of the Caldera, a must for seeing the Caldera from the sea. The plus side of Santorini in November is a complete lack of crowds. Our weather was sunny and in the seventies every day, which may have been a Greek anomaly but perfect for us. I highly recommend the Aqua Luxury suites and staff.

Based on the other reviews, I think your mileage here may vary depending on which room you get. I do see that others who stayed in the same rooms (small, ground level, bedroom without door, only bathroom access through the second bedroom, etc.) also left poor reviews. The lodgings we had were sub par with old and broken furniture, extremely small and uncomfortable beds, external door which barely closed, and the constant overwhelming smell of sewage really made this a less than comfortable spot. There also is no TV if you care about that, but the wifi was excellent. There’s also zero view, which is a shame. Do not be swayed by the promise of a “hot tub.” It is an inflatable affair, and is not super clean. In addition, beware, there is a camera pointing right at it. The breakfast was good, but not a huge selling point for us. We ended up here as we booked rather last minute. Honestly, I really regret that, because considering the lack of comfort, lack of sleep because of the awful beds, the really horrid smell (I still think about that smell when I remember Santorini), and just the overall vibe of the place, it really detracted from the enjoyment of our vacation. In summary: The location is excellent, but the place is more than a little gross. In addition , the price wasn’t great for what we got. The moral of this story is book early, and look harder for better options.

Galatia villas is the place to stay if you visit santorini. Right in the maintown of the island close to shops, nightlife, the bus station & lots of other stuff. Such cute rooms and Argiris is the greatest host. Polite, accommodating, friendly, always on the spot to help us out with any request we may have had. Thank you! we will definitelty come back!

The location is conveniently located near the downtown area. You will need to climb the stairs, so be careful if you are carrying a suitcase. There was no hot water, and the room smelled of cigarettes (maybe smoke came in through the window). There are no amenities such as water or cotton, but considering the location and price, it is reasonable.

We had a fantastic stay at Athina Luxury Suites- the staff was friendly and hospitable, the room was clean, and the view was unbeatable! There was almost no reason to leave the hotel because it was so good from our room. There was breakfast in our room every morning, and we ordered room service a few times. The restaurant has one of the best views I’ve ever experienced, and had great food with attentive service. The room service was always very quick, and we felt like valued guests. I would highly recommend staying here, and would most definitely stay here again if we return to Santorini.

After having to leave some terrible accommodation we had booked for our 10th Wedding Anniversary late in the evening we luckily found the Amphitrite Suites and Chrysavgi. Chrysavgi saved us at 9pm and quickly checked us in to one of her beautiful immaculate hottub suites, saying sorry I couldn’t get completely clean in time she must have been joking! The room rate was half the cost of the original overpriced hellhole we had originally booked and came with a fantastically cooked local breakfast consisting of omelettes, breads, yoghurts and cakes which even managed to stretch out for lunch too! On our second night Chrysavgi moved us to a plunge pool suite which had an amazing view of Pyrgos and the sea and a lovely chill out lounge and kitchen. This amazing place only opened this year and really is a hidden treasure, thank you so much Chrysavgi for letting us stay at your amazing hotel

I booked this hotel solely based on the excellent reviews but I was debating about the location as it is not in the tourist spots. This hotel deserves all the excellent reviews! The manager, Maggy, as well as all the staff, is very nice and helpful. They really care about the guests and make every effort to make the guests comfortable. Maggy arranged all the transportation, including to the airport and to catch the tours, and local restaurants. When we went out for a hiking and got tired, I just sent her a message and she arranged a car to pick us up! Top notch services by the Nano Suites team. As for the location, it is so tranquil and beautiful that we even hate to leave the hotel. Try to enjoy a breakfast, a drink and sunrise view from the patio. You won’t regret booking this hotel - highly recommended!

We have just returned from our week stay at The Notos and this hotel has definitely got the wow factor. It is a traditional white building built into the hillside overlooking the harbour, the latter is what gives it the wow factor I could watch this view every day and never tire of it. This does come at cost though and I'm not talking about the euros but the many steep steps up to the hotel and the rooms it's definitely not for anyone with mobility issues. The rooms are immaculate and something we have found is a rarity during our travels around Greece the beds are soft and very comfortable. The sheets and towels are looking a bit dingy as their whiteness has long gone! There are complimentary toiletries and the aircon is included this being very welcoming after the heat of the sun. The staff are very polite and helpful and I recommend you ask for help with the cases instead of struggling with them on the steps as they make it look easy! We have only one complaint and that's the food, we had decided to go half board as the hotel is quite remote and we don't drive but we were disappointed. The breakfast was ok offering the usual fruit, yoghurt, meat, cheese ,bread, greek bacon and sausage with a couple of choices of bread . There was no English tea and the coffee machine wasn't amazing. Our main complaint was the evening meal , the choice was very limited and basic which for a hotel with this star rating is in our opinion not good enough. The ala carte menu was equivalent of a beach bar menu with the first item being chicken nuggets but with a price tag that belongs to a fine dining restaurant . The cost of the drinks was extortionate too €10 for 330ml of a bottle of Sol or €8 for the same of alpha and if you like a bottle of wine with your meal expect to pay €43 for house white. So would I recommend this hotel, absolutely but bed and breakfast only and hire a car as there is very little in the way of choice ( Suzy's up the road is excellent!) and taxis are expensive. There is a land train that charges €8 a return trip to Perissa where there are many tavernas and snack bars.
