We had a comfortable stay here. The pool is lovely, and the bathroom in our room was also really nice (with excellent water heat/pressure). Mr. Stavros, the caretaker, was warm, friendly, and helpful. As was the housekeeper, who helped me make a dinner reservation when Mr. Stavros was out of the office. The ferry transfers that were booked for us by Mr. Stavros and Evangelia were reasonably priced, and they arrived on time.
But I wish I knew more about the location of the hotel before we booked. We didn't rent a car, but the hotel does have parking. The hotel is 10 minutes walking uphill, on a narrow road with speedy drivers and without sidewalks, to the nearest town, which is Karterados. It is about 35 minutes walking from the hotel to Fira. Although there is a local bus in Karterados that is very easy to use, since we didn't feel comfortable walking on the roads at night, we ended up taking cabs.
