The room decor and size

Having a busy road outside my bedroom balcony. The pictures give you the impression that the hotel has a view

Every day my partner and I would say how lucky we are to have found this place in Santorini, given how much of a trap so many properties can be. Please read the last point!! 1. The location is fantastic as you’re close to walk to some great places to eat and see whilst still being far away enough from the hectic Fira. 2. The property itself is finished to a high quality, and one of the best parts of it is that the pool is hidden from the public eye, which cannot be said about a lot of other places on the island. 3. Last but most importantly - the customer service and communication. Alex and Fay were SO KIND and supportive and communicative from before the trip and during it - they were always on hand to help and always went the extra mile to make sure you had the best stay possible. You always felt so special and treated like family there, and it’s why I’ll wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone thinking of going to Santorini.

Literally the only thing which wasn’t good was the breakfast, but that’s not a reason at all to not book this place as it is still fantastic value for money AND there are great breakfast places nearby!

At first, I wasn’t sure to stay here due to the previous reviews and ratings but when I gave it a go and spend my first night, I didn’t want to leave and requested to extend my stay. I had to change rooms as they were fully booked but OMG this property is incredible! I honestly didn’t understand why La Maltese got such rating but the manager mentioned that they opened up while part of the property was under construction a year ago but luckily for me, it’s all done to a perfection. Room was so nice, spacious and had everything extravagant traveler might need. The quality of bed, shower and appliances were impeccable. Great wifi speed, I could do video calls with friends and family, USB ports next to bed to charge the phone and so much more. It was also amazing to have lounge area, when I wanted to rest or to work, I had a separate cozy space. The view from the hotel is on the other side of the island, not on caldera. However, it was rather plus for me that no groups of tourists constantly passing by, staring at me in the pool or taking photos. It’s perfect for those who also like privacy and quietness while staying at the top touristic spot. During my previous trip to Santorini, I experienced famous caldera view few years ago at the other hotel close by, it was lots of the noise from people walking by and music from restaurants. It was terrible as I couldn’t sleep and next day felt exhausted. That why, I loved La Maltese as it’s extremely quite yet next to everything. In the room, I had a Nespresso machine, it was so beautiful to wake up, make a cup of coffee and sit on a lovely terrace with sea view watching sunrise after a great sleep. Then to have a wonderful breakfast at their restaurant with another magnificent view and plenty of touristic attractions around. Also, the property provides shuttle service from/to the airport which is amazing as in Santorini no uber services. My rides arranged by La Maltese were flawless and on time.

If I could add something to my magnificent stay, that would be a minibar. However, the supermarket in 1 min walk so not sure if that really a big deal.

This is magnificent new property in a heart of Imerovigli, close to all amazing locations, hiking trails, cafes and restaurants. The view from a room was on the other side of the famous mountain and it was such a plus as in this location you feel complete silence at night. If you are light sleeper such as me, it was such a plus not to be next to road with hundreds of tourists passing by. At night and during the day, it’s full zen and relaxation. For the room, I was actually blown away as it’s so spacious, beautiful with lots of sunlight. I had a 180 view and even private entrance. Mattress was very comfortable, bed sheets super clean. I couldn’t believe for the price rate of this room as it’s a proper suite. The only problem was for me, I didn’t book in advance and couldn’t find the availability for the whole stay so I had to switch the rooms. However, next time I won’t hesitate to book this one for the full trip. The facilities were amazing as well. Beautiful swimming pool, deep enough to jump and properly swim. I had a little morning ritual while staying there to go for a hike then jump in the cold pool and to chill there before breakfast as it was in a direction of sunrise. I asked if they can deliver breakfast to the pool but they said it’s better to have it in BuddhaBar. It’s just 3 min walk and another stunning view. In the restaurant, they have full set menu to choose from … eggs, croissants, waffles and etc. Everything was truly spectacular.

No iron in the room but after I asked the housekeeper, she brought me one right away.

This hotel is definitely stands out from everything Imirovigli has to offer. I had a wonderful stay and best deep sleep here as it was extremely quiet, bed was comfortable and everything super clean. The design of the room was incredible and exactly as on property’s photos. The ceiling was high with original dome architecture. Amazing combination of classic caldera build and fresh modern touch. The shower was spectacular as if you ever traveled to Santorini, most hotels have salty water in the shower. It’s an interesting feeling and may completely ruin the hair. So I was quite surprised that here they had nice water coming through the tubes. The staff was above and beyond so helpful and friendly. The check-in was fast and smooth. They help me with the luggage so I didn’t have to carry anything upon stairs. When I entered the room, I saw the instructions how to contact housekeeper via what’s app and wifi code. So all my additional requests were answered promptly. For dinner there is amazing BuddhaBar just 3 min walk with the best sunset and cocktails, as well as couples of traditional tavernas. Also, there are bakeries, supermarket with best Santorinian wines and pharmacy near by. I felt that in this little square, I had everything I need. Definitely recommend this stay and location.

No room service for food and beverages. However, there are lots of options near by to eat or buy snacks in supermarket.

Location, new furniture and cleanliness

Breakfast(the quality of food and coffee should be improved), the services: we waited a lot for the check in and for the breakfast. The pool view was also obstructed by street cables (would have been better to have a wall that isolates the not so nice view. It would have added also more to the privacy)

the size of the room was exceptional

the staff was noisy

Stayed overnight to continue on to the airport for return home! Although stay was quite abbreviated, I would return in a heartbeat.

liked it all

The Estate is extremely stylish and clean. Perfect location to everything! Highly recommend - would definitely come back
