Staying at Atoles Retreat was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment we booked, the team—led by the incredibly kind and attentive Neil—made us feel welcomed and cared for.

Our room was absolutely stunning—beautifully designed, impeccably clean (spotlessly maintained every single day), and with a private terrace and infinity pool/hot tub offering the most breathtaking sunsets we’ve ever seen. Watching the sun dip below the horizon from our own space felt like a dream. Breakfast each morning was a delight: fresh, flavorful, and presented with so much care. It’s clear that every detail at Atoles is carefully considered to create a luxurious and peaceful experience. The staff was beyond friendly and always ready to help, yet never intrusive.

There are quite a few stairs, but as Neil wisely said, “You have to make a little sacrifice for those breathtaking Caldera views!” and it was so worth it.

This hotel exceeded all of our expectations and then some. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning decor and impeccable style—every detail is thoughtfully curated to create a space that feels both luxurious and inviting. The views? Truly unmatched. Whether you’re sipping coffee in the morning or unwinding in the evening, the scenery is breathtaking from every angle. Breakfast each day was a real highlight—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. You can tell great care goes into every dish. But what really made our stay unforgettable was the staff. Everyone was kind, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. A special shoutout to Neil, who went above and beyond to make sure all our needs were met. His warmth and dedication did not go unnoticed and made our experience all the more special. We 10000% recommend this gem of a hotel and are already planning our return. We absolutely loved every minute!

The view from our caldera view suite was breathtaking. Best private view I’ve ever seen in my life. We looked forward to having the delicious breakfast that you can select each day while overlooking the stunning view. Sunset view is out of this world. It also felt much more private than other similar hotel suites that were sitting right on the Fira to Oia hiking trail. The service was excellent - special thanks to Neil for making our stay a breeze. We felt like we had everything we needed at all times.

Some spray of the shower onto the ground as the shower is not completely enclosed but didn’t bother us much.

We spent seven wonderful nights at Atoles Retreat and were simply thrilled. From the warm welcome to the heartfelt goodbye, everything was just perfect. Neil, the host, was incredibly attentive, professional, and kind – he took care of all our needs with genuine dedication. The entire team was exceptionally friendly and courteous; we felt welcome from the very first moment. Breakfast was fresh, varied, and lovingly prepared every day – a true highlight! The property itself is absolutely stunning – beautifully maintained, peaceful, and furnished to a very high standard. A special moment for us was the therapeutic massage with Janni and Konstantina – both were incredibly professional and empathetic. We left feeling deeply relaxed. We felt completely comfortable throughout our stay and can wholeheartedly recommend Atoles Retreat. It wasn’t just a vacation – it was a true experience. We would love to come back!

Everything! The property is gorgeous, located in the quiet and peaceful village of Imerovigli. Perfect for couples. Everything from the room to the terrace to the private heated pool was perfect. Breakfast every morning was exceptional, with a lot of selection (vegan and vegetarian options as well). The hotel manager Neil was very attentive and helpful, and very quick to respond to any questions or provide suggestions on restaurants and attractions. You won’t regret staying here!

Nothing.

Wonderful experience! Extremely well maintained, clean, and quiet hotel in a great location. Right off the path from Fira to Oia - our room was below the path so it was very private. We appreciated the delicious breakfast each morning, as well as the bottle of wine and fruit set out for us upon arrival. We enjoyed watching the sunsets over the caldera from our hot tub. We would definitely stay here again!

Not a dislike, but heads up that there are a lot of stairs in case that could be an issue for you. Also, the only thing the room was missing was an iron/steamer for clothes.

Welcoming was super warm and friendly. Luggage was handled well and always available for anything you ask. The tub was amazing! Super nice and good size for 2 with the blissful view. The wine and fruits welcome was really sweet. Gluten free was a blessing! Super service really. Neel's service and Kleidi's support were unmatched along with the support staff who helped with pictures!

The view was amazing so we wanted to order room service for dinner which wasn't there. Breakfast menu could have had better options than what was there. We'd ordered the egg nest but expected better.

Absolutely everything. From the breathtaking views to the super comfortable and stylish room (room 6) to the delicious well curated breakfast in room to the most welcoming staff and incredible manager Neil, everything was top notch. The wine bottle gifted on arrival from a local producer was also delicious.

Loved everything! Just a note for people it might bother, there are quite a few stairs to go up and down - have no fear however, they will help with the luggage.

We were greeted by Neil George Makris as soon as we arrived. He arranged our pickup from the port and for the airport transfer as well. Neil and his staff were extremely attentive to our needs the entire stay. The accommodations were remarkable in size, location and beauty. Our view was outstanding, and the breakfast served to us each morning in front of our heated plunge pool was impeccable. They even made sure we had breakfast for the morning we were leaving at 5:30am. Neil arranged a wine tour for us that we enjoyed. We are very happy we chose Atoles for our stay as we had researched many options.

We would only warn people who have issues with negotiating many stairs, that our room at the bottom of the stairs could be a challenge. We found it to be worth it, for privacy and the view.
