This is a very convenient hotel for exploring all over Fira, firostefani, and imerovigli, with close walking access to restaurants, shops, and bars. Be aware, the walk to most places is convenient and quick but the hills and roads of Santorini can be tiresome. The view is facing the east side of the island, so it isn't exactly the 'picturesque' santorini view off the cliffs that you envision, but the pool area is nice and outdoor space relaxing. Elias is a wonderful host, very helpful with ideas and tips, available for any question throughout the trip. The bathroom is brand new and updated, with hot water and a good shower head. However, the bed was quite uncomfortable, which was really our only complaint. All in all, would recommend for the convenience, location, and host.
