My stay can be described only as bittersweet.
Santorini is beautiful and Marcos Rooms are superbly located. Eventhough the rooms do not overlook the caldera, they are near enough to afford you a quick access to stunning, breathtaking views. Everything that has been said about the Santorini sunset is true. It IS the most gorgeous ever and at Marcos rooms, you can enjoy the vista from the private terrace. No need to jostle for space!! Wonderful..
The couple running the place are friendly and accomodating. Our hostess painstakingly explained, on our arrival, the choices places we should visit, where we should go for a stunning view of the caldera and how we should go about exploring santorini. Very greatful for her advice!!!
My only regret about my stay were the rooms. They were dusty, dirty and not very well kept. Ventilation was poor. The toilets were small and stank of sewage especially room A4! The smell permeated into the room and shower water spilled into the room!! Avoid room A4.
Whilst I understand that the building is old, i believe proper upkeep and some renovation works are needed at Marcos Rooms.
