This is a great spot if you’re looking to stay in Oia but not right in the hustle and bustle of the tourist as It’s just on the edge.
At first we were surprised because when we arrived, we found it was a hotel instead of your typical home or apartment style found through Airbnb. If you’re looking to be able to cook your own meals, it won’t be possible.
Daily breakfast was included which was a very nice surprise for us! Options included: bread, croissant, coffee, Greek yogurt, fruit etc. Because it was a hotel, daily housekeeping service was also a nice surprise.
The woman at reception was fantastic! She greeted us several times throughout our stay, helped us book a taxi to the airport and even helped us book our PCR covid tests for our return flight home which was super helpful as we were worried about having to figure this out in a foreign country.
The option the book a taxi from the port to the property was available but we didn’t receive a response in time so we took a taxi that was available from the port. This could’ve easily been our fault too as we didn’t write to them inquiring this until the night before our arrival.
The location of the property is ok. Expect to need to rent a vehicle or ATV. It is just on the edge of Oia. It was about a 15 minute walk to the Caldera and a 20 minute drive to Fira. We rented an ATV which was good for us to be able to get to Fira but it proved to be a little bit of an issue as well because of the main road being a one way. So you had to go all the way around the island to get back to the property. We ended up just using the ATV to get to Fira and walked to get to Oia. The nearest gas station is in Fira so you can’t be too risky!
All in all, we enjoyed our stay but possibly should have done a bit more research prior to arrival. The hot tub was very nice to enjoy at night and the rooster next door made for a very funny way to wake up in the morning ;)
Thank you!
