Hotels in Oia, Santorini

Since my one week stay in Oia with Amaya, I have been debating what my review would be. Here is where I weight out: 1. I would NOT stay at this brand / group again 2. It might be a risk if you manage to get 50% off the price as I did. But I would have been angry to have paid more 3. With the exception of the property manager, the onsite staff tried hard within the confines of what they had 4. At one point, these cave villas were probably as good as they could get. But with so much modernization, there are just too many better properties than these dated villas 5. The location is absolutely stunning. Getting the chance to stay in a MODERN white cave villa is like a bucket list item. So, here is the deal. I chose a week, in January – the VERY off season, because I wanted quiet and to return to Santorini. A big travel company offered this place at a very big discount. I jumped at the chance. What I experience, was a villa that was in a stunning location. And with a very stunning view. But the management of the villa. And the modernization of the villa is just not good enough anymore. WHAT I LIKED: - There was a attendant names “Vali” who was very helpful and responsive, despite the manager not being responsive. (Note to anyone staying here. You are SIXTY STEPS down the hill to your villa. You definitely need an attendant to help with luggage. Vali was marvelous. But if you have knew or other health problems, be aware that this is not an easy place to get up / down on. - The view was amazing. - But be aware that you are in the path at sunset to Sunset point. It becomes quite busy on your little path at that time - I am a cat lover. Be aware there are hundreds of cats near the villa. If you leave your doors or windows open – they do come in. Most are cautious. But you have to be comfortable with cats – or forever keep your windows doors closed. - The daily breakfast was marvelous. The person who cooked it and delivered it was attentive. She made generous breakfast that was delicious. The location, at the very near end of OIA was quiet WHAT I DID NOT LIKE: - The good news about booking in January is that 97% of the tourists have gone away. You really have the area to yourself. But – the flipside is that during this low season, there is a ton of renovation happening. In the day, when you want quiet and sunshine, you are getting drilling sounds. Hammering sounds. And a lot of local workers making improvements. You won’t get this in mid to high season – but this was not enjoyable. - The manager just was not professional. It began when a note was sent out, encouraging you to make a reservation with them for the transport from the airport. Ok. It sounded like a good idea. She promised a “reliable and very professional” service. For a price that I would learn is about double the price of others who will do the same on the island. I arrived to the airport. No sign. No transport. Everyone from the plane had left, and I was left. I eventually was able to reach

The hotel was located in Oia Village with a great view of the world-famous blue domed church! We stayed in a cave room with a queen-sized bed with a curved ceiling. The bathroom floor was covered in black pebbles with no shower curtain/glass. However, it was spacious enough that you probably wouldn’t soak the whole bathroom when showering. The front desk staff and porters offered great customer service! They contacted us a few days before our reservation, offering us airport transfer services. The complimentary breakfast wasn’t that great, but they delivered it to our room each morning. Options included sandwiches, hard-boiled eggs, omelettes, fruit salad, etc. It was pretty basic. Overall, I think it was a great stay because of the exceptional view from the room.

Beautiful, quaint hotel, spotlessly clean. staff could not have been friendlier or more helpful . Pool area excellent. Fresh towels every day. Food at the pool and restaurant superb and very well priced. Location could not have been better right at the beginning of the promenade and 25 minutes from airport. I had an accident on the promenade and when I got back to the hotel Janus called the ambulance and took care of everything. When I returned to hotel staff could not do enough for me and brought breakfast to the room on a couple of occasions. Will definitely be back.

If you are visiting Santorini you need to stay in Oia Unique Homes by K&K! The view from the balcony is better than the pictures you see in Santorini, big, spacious room with comfortable bed, even the view from the toilet is to die for! Konstantinos was a great host and he gave some excellent recommendations, so trust him! The best part of this stay, was the price too, I was a bit hesitant because the price was below average, but thank God I booked it! Great value! We will be visiting Santorini and staying here again! Thank you :)

Caldera Premium Villa is located in the center of Oia, overlooking the volcano. It offers a swimming pool and accommodation with Cycladic décor. Room balconies offer Caldera and Aegean Sea views. The accommodation and views are great. The staff are very helpful and speak good English. The breakfast provided by the hotel was outstanding. My only complaint is that the location of the hotel is halfway up the cliff, which requires a lot of stairs before you get there. Staff will greet you on arrival and take your luggage, but you may find it difficult to navigate if you have bad knees etc. Other than that, an amazing place in the world.

Because a villa in Fira was set before, the price/performance ratio is not as high as that, but the overall price of Oia is higher. The room has a large bed and two wide wooden sofas, which can accommodate four people. There are kitchen utensils, tableware, coffee machine, etc., coffee, honey, jam, dry bread simple diet. Electric water heaters, air conditioners, refrigerators, hair dryers are available. No toiletries and slippers. The location view is not the best in that room, but it is already beautiful. There is a distance from the drop-off point. It takes seven or eight minutes to walk. Please contact the waiter in advance. Someone will help you with luggage. Close to the castle, the castle is the best place to watch the sunset. Overall, it is not bad.

The location is good, not far from the bus stop! The disadvantage is that the bed is in a small loft upstairs in a building-within-a-floor layout. People with higher heights will definitely hit their heads. It is troublesome to go up and downstairs to use the toilet.

The room and the scenery are beautiful! You can sit outside the room and watch the sunrise and sunset. The room facilities are good, there is a bread machine and coffee capsule machine, and slippers! The fly in the ointment is that the bathtub is outdoor, not very clean, can't take a bath. And the mini bar has to charge for everything (all so expensive hotels TT) 🔔 Service: Especially good! The staff's attitude is super good! Check in to give us an upgraded room, say hello in advance to the type of breakfast we want to eat, and send it to the room the next day. Also sent us a glass of champagne per person! And because the Oia road is very difficult to walk, we also asked the hotel to help send our luggage to the station, the service is really 💯! 🧹 Hygiene: Very clean and clean! The whole room is fragrant, the bed is super soft, very comfortable!

Speechless! HIGHLY recommend staying here if you’re looking for 5 star service. Konstandinos was on top of EVERYTHING, pre arrival, to arrival to everything in between, until the end. The room was surgically clean, breakfast was amazing every morning. The housekeeper was the kindest and most generous human you will meet along with the porter. Skip out on this place, and you will truly miss out on a magical experience. The room was incredible, views were mesmerizing from the room, the hot tub was PHENOMENAL. We were not expecting the breakfast, the top notch level of concierge service and the kindness of the staff. We will definitely be back for many more trips to the island and will always stay with them !!!
