3-Star Hotels in Santorini

Overall is good and like the jaccuzi, You need to rental a car for your exploration convenience. Breakfast is quite standard but a good portion for an individual.

We’d like to express our heartfelt gratitude towards Ms. Margarita and the team at the Cellia Retreat Suites, for their world class excellence of hospitality and making our stay one of the best experience in Greece. We’d like to especially thank the duty manager Margarita for the following: 1. Providing swift assistance to our oversight in duplicate booking, and proactively contacting the travel agent so we could cancel the duplicate booking and receive refunds within the same day 2. Is very knowledgeable about the island; she has provided personalised itinerary recommendations based on our preference; she has made very thoughtful arrangements regarding transport and restaurants, including recommending a trip to the Santos Wine Winery which offered us the best sunset views of the island we have ever seen. 3. Is extremely friendly, always greets guests with a big smile, and she has made our stay a superbly wonderful and pleasant experience. In addition to the warm hospitality, the property is a lovely place to stay; the pool has a beautiful view and the breakfast is wonderful to the eyes and our stomach. Thank you Ms. Margarita and I’d highly recommend visitors to stay at the Callia Retreat Suites next time they visit Santorini.

I like the place because it was more like a villa type. Only one floor and the door opens to an open space in front of the gate. It has seats outside that make you feel like it’s tropical. It is quiet in the area and it is close to the square. About 15 mins from the airport. Faster without traffic. Actually there was almost no traffic. There are many restaurants at the square like typical Greek restaurants, Turkish and even Chinese. The owners are very accommodating. They offered me some coffee one morning. They gave me the information I needed to get around the place. They also fixed my heater while I was out. They arranged airport pick up and drop off for me even when I had to leave at 4:30 am. Well appreciated. Downside: Just the floor is cold and they did not have any slippers available. I ran out of bottled water and it was not replaced. I could have asked but the reception closed a bit early so I did not bother. It was not a big deal though. Thank you for the warm welcome! I would stay again if I’d come back.

The hotel is located very close to the airport and you can get a bus from the airport to the hotel upon arrival. 1. There is a bus stop just 20 seconds walk from the hotel. 2. Traveling to Fira is just 10 minutes on the bus and it costs €2 per person each way. You can get a bus to all the other islands from Fira for the same fare. 3. There are a lot of restaurants around the hotel and supermarket where you can get everything you need. 4. The hotel is very very clean, the rooms get cleaned every day by the friendly hardworking staff. 5. The breakfast is very nice. 6. The pool gets cleaned every day 7. The staff members are super hard-working and super friendly and extremely supportive. 8. My birthday was the day after my arrival and I got the best birthday cake with a birthday song in the Greek language which was so beautiful. The owner is very humble, and respectful and speaks fluent English and French. I will recommend this hotel to everyone. It is suitable for families, couples, groups etc. My flight was in the night and the owner gave me an office to keep our baggage and provided towels for us if we needed to have a shower. I will surely come back to such a beautiful hotel.

The hotel's location is excellent, right next to Fira's bus station, making transportation very convenient. There are plenty of facilities nearby, with many dining and shopping options. The hotel breakfast is also very rich. The hotel doesn't have an elevator, so it can be a bit of a hassle to carry heavy luggage upstairs. The room facilities are average, but it offers good value for money. Luggage storage is available.

Because the hotel is located on a slope, you'll mostly be using the stairs inside. Staff will carry your luggage if you ask. The view is fantastic.

Next time I book a room, I'll definitely plan things more carefully; having to change rooms mid-stay was quite inconvenient. I understand they had no other rooms available, which meant switching to a standard room, and that's understandable. However, the kitchen sink in the standard room looked a bit off-putting. My advice: if you don't like constantly moving your belongings and your booking involves a mid-stay room change, you should seriously think twice before reserving.

The best room in the Fira area is here. I stayed in three room types, each with different advantages. The service staff are enthusiastic and professional, and the breakfast is rich and delicious. With the view of the Aegean Sea, I feel like I am in heaven.

The owner is a very nice and exceptionally warm Greek. We were invited to take some chocolates off the table to go when we arrived and when we left. The construction of the hotel is particularly lovely and the room we stayed in was at the highest point of this hotel, with a small balcony and a great view. This hotel also has a kitten that was particularly cute and clingy and I looked forward to seeing it every night when I returned to the hotel. We had a great couple of days here!
