We stayed at the Old Bakery for ten days in October and would absolutely recommend it as a fabulous place to stay in Oia and indeed, Santorini.
The pictures really do it justice - it really is that beautiful. The space is huge and indulgent with two choices for living area. We used them as day rooms and night rooms - the old oven room being perfect for those nights we weren’t out on the terrace or still in one of the many wonderful taverns of Oia.
The Laskarina team were also superb: very friendly, helpful and prompt to reply. And the cleaning service made a lovely difference and was much appreciated. They have also left a very handy insider’s knowledge booklet to help you find less touristy places and activities.
The view of the Caldera could not be beaten. You don’t get the sunset but you do get the sun all day long - the terrace is a real sun trap with lovely plants framing the view perfectly.
There is a mention of the jacuzzi not being warm enough. I agree it would be nice if it was warmer, but it was fine for our purposes, especially at night with a glass of something fizzy.
The location could not be better for Oia, literally a 30 second walk down some typically slippery Oia steps from the busy main pedestrian pavement above. That said, the terrace is very private considering, although fellow tourists and diners at the restaurant next door can peer over at you if they so wish - but few do.
The famous blue-dome roofs of so many millions of photographs, are just a few minutes walk away. As is the main bus station, conveniently.
My only reservation about Oia, rather than the Old Bakery itself, is that if you want privacy or peace and quiet, these are not available. The Old Bakery is part of a small cluster of cave dwellings and each unit is very much on top of another. This means you are dependent on the consideration of your neighbours. During the time we were there, there were two nights where our neighbours were quite noisy and inconsiderate. But this is true of any resort and once inside the Old Bakery, it was very peaceful indeed.
But I don’t want to end on a negative. The Old Bakery is a wonderful, crazy, luxurious, relaxing place to stay with one of the best views possible. Who could ask for more?
