I hate leaving glowingly positive reviews with absolutely no negatives because I don’t think people believe them… but I truly have no negatives. Calm was beautiful, clean, and pleasant. There were beautiful views, the walk into Thira is quick, and the food at Katsaboo is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.
George and Stavroula organized a transfer to and from the ferry for us so it was very little stress to get to the hotel. The transfer was inexpensive, quick, and private. We arrived before check in but because our room was ready they took us right to our room and Stavroula spent some time letting us know about the facilities and the island, she gave us a map and shared some highlights of things to do while we visited.
We had a room right off of the pool area and at first we thought that was strange and there would be a lack of privacy, but because of the atmosphere it was actually lovely. We had curtains we could fully lower to block out the outside if we wanted and our windows opened to allow the island air to come in. The bed was comfortable and there were nice seating areas as well. The pool area was also lovely, we did not end up swimming because we visited early in the season and the water was still just a touch cold for us, but it was kept clean and was inviting for sunbathing.
Even if you decide not to stay at Calm, please try to give the restaurant a try for lunch or dinner! Katsaboo had amazing food and the team that works there is so friendly and lively. We especially loved Louda and Gogo. They made us feel so welcomed and were happy to share stories with us. Definitely recommend the Passion Martini and the Souvlaki if you eat here!
We are already hoping to stay here again in the future.
If you are looking for an inviting, clean, laid back place to stay in Santorini, this is the one for you!
