All in all we had a nice relaxing week at Nefeles luxury suites. The suites are beautifully set, close to the center of fira. The view is perfect. The hosts and all staff very nice, very helpful and provide you with great tipps and suggestions on what to do, what to see and where to dine around the island.
The cave suite was smaller than we expected, but big enough for two people. There‘s not a lot of storage space and due to the suite being in a cave fairly low ceilings. The interior design is very clean and basic. Most of it is concrete, which makes the suite overall pretty cold and not especially cosy. Another thing you should be aware of, is that the shower is on the far side of the cave, so if you shower, everything is moist inside the cave. There is a very well working air conditioning inside the cave, that helps a little with the moisture.
In the front of the cave is a door, that leads directly to the hot tub outside (that is constantly running) so there is some noise and moisture from this side too. Another little downer for us was, that due to Covid the hot tub was only allowed up to 35 degrees, which felt really cold. That was a bit disappointing, as no one told us beforehand and we were really looking forward to enjoying a warm hot tub.
Outside the cave is a nice seating area and little riverpool with two big sunbeds. This is a shared area with the neighboring cave. But we were lucky that our neighbors were almost always gone - so most of the time we had it for us alone.
A big plus is the great breakfast, that we were lucky to enjoy on our terrace. Normally it is only served in the little courtyard on the ground level next to the pool. Eating with the view was definitely a highlight in the morning.
The little fridge and the hot water in the suite were perfect as was the wifi.
The host was so nice as to organize us a transport (30€) from and to the airport and had no problem with us checking out a little later.
Thanks for a nice week in Santorini.
