Persistent, magnificent views of the caldera. We relished every bit of our stay in the suite. From the moment you wake up, to hanging out in the jacuzzi, to chilling on the balcony having drinks, to watching the sun set behind the beautiful, unique Oia cityscape, you have these amazing picturesque views.
We appreciated the regular and reliable communication from Kostas and his team. If you’re new to Oia, I recommend taking the transfer arranged by Kostas. The drivers are very courteous, professional and friendly. They’ll take care of your luggage and will not leave you at the drop off area until you’re met by Kostas’ assigned concierge. In our case, it was Yannis (Jon) - who singlehandedly picked up ALL our luggage and walked us to the suite. It was a short walk (~2 mins), but it was “hilly” with steps going up and down. Good thing Yannis is built like a truck and had no trouble lugging our bags. Yannis then briefed us on the suite, the stay, general orientation around Oia and provided recommendations (activities and dining options). If you have any questions or requests (e.g. arrange a taxi, etc.), you simply reach out via Whats App and he’ll get back to you.
The breakfast was great. Flora took very good care of us. Just sit down in the breakfast area and she’ll acknowledge you as soon as you’re seated. It’s a fixed breakfast, but it’s complete: coffee, orange juice, bread, honey, jam/marmalade, yogurt, fruits, eggs and meat for the day. Very relaxing to sit and admire the view - or see as the flock of tourists begin to roll in from the buses and cruise ships.
Chilling on the balcony and jacuzzi was priceless. Getting some sun and enjoying a cold one while taking in the entire atmosphere was quite surreal.
For planning purposes, this place is the Blue Sky Suite of the Kaleidoscope Cave Luxury Houses. It’s located down the steps in front of the Panerai boutique. The suite has a fridge, complimentary water, large bathroom, tv, towels, slippers, blow dryer, bottle/wine opener, ensuite coffee maker and iron/ironing board. WIFI speeds were acceptable and allowed my wife and I to stream our respective shows at the same time.
Staying at a place with a view also opens up your dining options, since you can enjoy the other great establishments on the inner side of the village - while most tourists chase to have limited dining time at places that has views of the caldera and/or sunset.
This is THE place. Great price point for the level of accommodation, location and available view.
