Sensyo is an absolute hidden gem! We stayed in the Cocoon room, which is one of four rooms at Sensyo. The room is a remodeled couple hundred year old cave house that is functional, quiet and simply charming. The colors and architecture lend it a unique and romantic feel. The entire property is tucked away on the rim of the caldera below the noisier road and pedestrian footpath above. The view of the caldera is spectacular and all yours. There's comparably little foot traffic as oppose to other parts of the island.
Our hostess, Elvira, had a personal note awaiting us upon our arrival, as well as a bottle of local Santorini wine, water and juice. She went the extra mile and offered us suggestions on things to see and do. Her cheery demeanor and willingness to be helpful and hospitable made our time at Sensyo that much more pleasant.
The walk to Fira town is extremely easy, enjoyable and takes ten minutes at most. We preferred being an earshot away from the hustle of Fira, yet close enough to experience it. We rented an ATV to help us get to points further; however, there is a bus stop right above the room in front of the church.
Those traveling with a lot of luggage should know that you do have to go down a set of stairs along the cliff. It's very doable, but something to be aware of. Most accommodations in Fira and its environs are built on or into the cliff, and require going up and down stairs.
I highly recommend this property to anyone looking for an authentic, quiet and pleasant getaway on the island.
