Our stay here was almost perfect, but the owner’s mannerisms leaves a lot to be desired given how information is communicated.
The location is perfect within walking distance to several restaurants and the popular red beach and a winery. A grocery is right next door with pretty good prices for items required.
About a 20 min drive from fira and the airport. Renting a car is highly recommended. The pool was nice and we had a pretty okay sleep despite the beds were a bit hard.
The bathrooms were very small, resulting in the shower curtain constantly touching you while you tried to shower. Checking in and out outside of regular hours can be a bit difficult, it maybe best to have a drop box for the keys for early departure and have arrangements in place for early check-in given the timing of flights into/out of santorini. Given toilet paper cannot be flushed on the island, it maybe nice to invest in hygiene safety bins to dispose of the paper to make accommodation more comfortable for guests.
I arrived pretty early before the office was opened and owner arrived and his approach in trying to identify me was less than welcoming, despite I had already provided the flight information and my photo is on airbnb. During our stay we noted some money left in the apartment was missing and reported it to the owner, who responded it is not his housekeeper. This situation could have been handled in a more compassionate manner. Given it is a hotel it would be nice to provide safes for the rooms so valuables can be locked away with a certain level of comfort.
Though not specific to this property alone, it would be beneficial to have sanitary bins to dispose of used toilet paper as it cannot be flushed on the island.
