Unfortunately we did not have a great experience at this hotel. The actual room is basic as advertised and was clean. We came in late from the airport and thought staying somewhere close by over night would be nice. The transportation service the hotel staff instructed us to use never showed up to the airport, we were the last people there and called the hotel at least 3 times and still no one came. So after paying 20 euro for transportation that never showed up, we had to pay 15 more for a taxi. Georgia was at the hotel when we got in, she was very nice and apologized but said nothing could be done to reemburse us. It was a really frustrating start to our time in Santorini, we should have just gone straight to Oia.

My husband, 7 year old son and I stayed at this location for one night because it was close proximity to the airport. The room was very spacious and the facilities were beautiful (to include the pool). Even with it being close to the airport we were never bothered by the noise from the airport. Our driver had a hard time locating it, but it seemed well marked when we arrived. There is a small store within a very short walk from the rooms. The building seems to stand by itself with nothing of note around it. However, if I were there to "get away from it all" this is the spot!! Very nice facility, quite and away from it all. For us that was a negative however. The transfer they utilize costs 20 euro to the airport (about 1 mile away). You would need to rent a car if you chose this as your accommodations.

We got in at 1 a.m. but luckily the manager had no problem driving down on his scooter to check us in. Very friendly and arranged a taxi for us as well the next morning. Mainly chose the hotel due to its proximity to the airport after getting in so late. It was nice inside with kitchen and separate bedroom. Only spent the night and then headed to Fira.

Really loved this laid backed hotel in the Monalithia area. Hotel is a short 4 minute walk from the black beach, footsteps from a market. And there are two tavernas in the area within walking distance. The service was phenomenal, and the rooms are clean and comfortable. The airport is like a short 7 minute drive away. I really enjoyed my time here it was so relaxing.

Wow, what an awesome experience at this fabulous sea side gem. Bill was so kind to welcome me with a bottle of wine for my birthday. I stayed in this gorgeous loft apartment overlooking the ocean. It was so peaceful, great location near the airport, fabulous pool, lots of towels, full kitchen, market close by and the beach was walking distance from the apartment. I only got to stay for 2 quick nights but will be back to stay for at least 10 days next year. I give this place 6 stars out of 5 stars. Thank you, again Bill for a fabulous stay in your beautiful property.

We were 2 hours delayed due to late ferry arrival and car rental company. When we arrived, the staff of the hotel kindly waited us under the sun and had the air con of our room turned on for more than 2 hours. The staff kindly showed us around the hotel, and was very helpful to try his best to fulfill what you need. Also, he gave us lots of suggestions on where to go for attractions and restaurants that the locals would go. This hotel is a 10 minutes drive to the airport, but it's not really noisy.

We arrived into Santorini 1 day early and needed a place to overnight till our other Accomodations were ready. The ad suggested a pool. There was no pool. Also advertised airport shuttle service. That may or may not be true. Our phone wouldn't dial in Greece so we took a cab for 15 euro. There was no check in lobby with staff. Only one person standing out front to assist us to our room. We had to walk down the road to find breakfast at some other hotel. We almost had to arrange for our own cab to Oia the next day but the person standing out front finally showed up to help us. This place is more like a small apt building where rooms are rented out per night. It served our needs but may have looked further next time.

The hotel was extremely clean and the owner of the hotel was extremely friendly and helpful. We had even lost something and he came back in the middle of then night to unlock the lobby to get it for us. That is what makes this hotel so nice. The area is on a more deserted side of the island, so be sure that you are looking for a secluded stay near a quiet beach. There are two resorts nearby, but not much else. We stayed here as we were traveling early from the airport in the morning. They helped us order a taxi and ensure that we got to the airport in the morning. I would recommend this hotel to a couple or family looking for a quiet getaway at a nice clean hotel with great service.
