The maissonete was the best choice for us. It was a quiet place, spotless clean, smelled nice and it had a great caldera view. We were given water at the arrival and a lot of recomandations for restaurants and other activities to do in the area. The sunset from the balcony is amaizing. It was quite easy to find a parking spot nearby. Breakfast is excellent, with a lot of choices, served in the balcony. I would definately stay again.

I liked everything. Nothing to complain about.

This hotel has one of the best sunset view in Santorini. Imerovigli village is situated in the highest point of the Caldera edge and this hotel is situated one of the highest point of the village. There was salso good shop and some restaurant very near hotel. Imerovigli village is also very peaceful. We had room called abelonas maisonette with caldera view. This room has two balcony on the top two floors that tree story building.Be prepared to stairs. This room in middle of the building and closest room in caldera edge and you will have unobstructed view to caldera and sunset. Maisonette was clean and quite spacious and beds were ok.

The room itself is very basic with old furniture. It has two levels and there are very steep stairs and narrow entrance to the upper level. Upper level can be very hot when there are almost 30C outside despite of lower level cooling machine. Breakfast was very basic and same every morning including bread, margarine,jam,water melon, boiled or scrambled eggs and every morning lukewarm coffee. Bathroom is very basic with old equipment. Shower head was old and bad and there wasn’t shower cubicle or curtain and because of that all bathroom was wet after shower.

The location in Imeraglivi was great. Not crowded but easy access to Fira and the hike to Oia. The staff were very helpful. The pool was great to cool off after a hot day. Our first 2 nights were in an upstairs suite which was spacious and lightfilled with balconies with view of the caldera and the sea, we were able to watch both the sunset and the sunrise, it was amazing.

the 3rd night were moved to a downstairs small double room with a courtyard and view of the street. It was perfectly fine but disappointing compared to the other room.

Location on top.of the peak of imerogivila meant uou had spectacular views in all.directuons. also the hotel has various rooms all with special features and also has a pool and rooftop sunbathing and viewpoints. However the cooked breakfast and extras delivered to your room every morning was the perfect way to start each day. Also the manager (Pavlos), has over 20 years experience in the trade and his recommendations for places to eat and places to visit and which excursions to ho on made all the difference. Superb.

Wish we could have stayed for 2 weeks instead of one.

Beautiful bright, clean and spacious accommodation. It was a real bonus to have two balconies- one that caught the sunrise and one balcony that caught the sunset. Best of both worlds. The views were jaw dropping. Very comfortable bed, great water pressure. The shower was a bit tricky in that water from the shower would come up through the floor drain in the bathroom and wet the whole floor, but nothing that couldn't be wiped up with a small towel. There was an ample choice each day for breakfast and it was delivered to our room at an appointed time each morning. I have to say that it was the staff that made this place extra special, Pavlos and Giannis were so helpful in booking taxis and boat excursions for us. Two super nice guys that go the extra mile to make our stay special.

Would have nice to have a coffee maker but there was instant coffee and a kettle.

The staff was very welcoming and helpful. The breakfast was great; you got to select what you wanted from a menu and it was delivered to your room.

We were very disappointed with the view from our room. The room featured on their website was not what was delivered. The view of the caldera was obstructed by the awnings and umbrellas of the restaurant right across from the front porch. If you stay here, be sure to stay away from room 6 due to the obstructed views.

The location and views are fantastic. Staff are very nice, friendly and informative. Yianas at reception is doing a great job as is the lovely guy that brings the breakfast (these are who have most interactions with guests). We did like the breakfast delivery but it gets repetitive after few days (we stayed 5nights) great to have restaurants/shop etc on your doorstep. Lovely to have the pool and the higher level sun deck to laze about and take in the scenery. Pool towels provided which is great.

We stayed in a maisonette which is a good size and amazing views. We were a bit deflated on arrival with the room as it is very dated with dark wood and old furniture, the bathroom while recently tiled is terracotta like in the 90’s and the shower leaks everywhere. The shower itself needs replacing as it is filthy (room 3- look at the hose) and the holder is hanging off the wall. There is no privacy and you can hear every little noise in the room (example if you turn in your sleep). The high winds make the doors and windows rattle which keeps you awake. For the price we paid we expected a higher standard in the room (pics online look better than reality)

This is a great place to stay with a wonderful pool and terrace and the staff are all extremely helpful and the property is kept beautifully clean and maintained. Pavlos provided excellent recommendations to local beaches and restaurants and this made our trip! The breakfasts on the terrace were also a lovely way to start the day.

Lovely little room with a beautiful view of the ocean and the sunset too. Loved the breakfast delivery each morning which was set perfectly on the table either inside or on the balcony depending on our preference. Staff were all so helpful in accommodating gluten free and assisting with luggage and organising an ATV for hire too.

Pool felt a little exposed depending on where you sit as it’s right on a main pathway on the trek to Oia - perhaps a privacy screen would be nice but then that would block the view
