We had such a wonderful stay at Ambeli Apartments, and it was especially memorable for our daughter, who absolutely loved it! From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was amazing. Sophia and Maria were incredibly kind and went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Sophia even baked a fresh cake for our daughter every day, which was such a sweet and personal touch. On the night we arrived late, she also prepared dinner for us—something we truly appreciated after a long day of travel. The apartment itself was spotless, with daily cleaning and fresh sheets provided every day. The amenities were fantastic, breakfast was awesome and continental style, the pool and jacuzzi were both well-maintained and perfect for relaxing. The entire staff was friendly, helpful, and super responsive whenever we needed anything. The location was peaceful and beautiful, with a beach within walking distance. It's a convenient spot overall, but having a car made it even easier to explore the island. Honestly, we had no complaints at all. Everything was perfect—from the hospitality to the comfort and the surroundings. We’d absolutely love to come back and would highly recommend Ambeli Apartments to anyone visiting Santorini!

Spiros at the front desk was very friendly and kind and took the time to explain things to me. The apartments were well-equipped, spacious and with a great layout so you had privacy but could also chat to people if you wanted to. The seats on the porch were comfortable and great to overlook the pool. There was a coffee machine with tea/coffee provided. Great shower-powerful and warm. The pool was cool and very clean with lovely comfortable sun loungers-some with shading if you want it. So relaxing. Very handy location- close to bus stops/mini mart/beach/restaurants all within a short walking distance.

The bed could be more comfortable, it was a little firm for me. The wardrobe behind the door was a bit awkward in the bedroom to open. I felt safe in the accomodation but felt I needed to close the shutters completely if going out as the windows alone were not very strong. The road at night is not very well lit and busy with traffic driving fast so you have to be very careful walking along this to the strip. The TV only had 2-3 channels and no chance to connect to anything else.

We have the best stay here. This place is unbelievable. At the beginning Maria welcomed us with cold drinks and some snacks after our journey, she told us a little about Santorini and give us some instructions where to eat and what is worth to see, it was very nice. The apartment was very clean and cosy, beds were soo comfortable. Everyday the room was smelling soo good. Later we met Sofia, she's soo amazing, warm and kind, this woman has golden heart. Everyday she brings us homemade delicious cake. One day she invited us for cooking together, she told us about Santorini, food, we had a great time together. These memories will stay with us for a long time. Both Maria and Sofia are always ready to help. The place is very good located, near the beach, there is local shop near the apartments, where you can buy almost everything you need. The place is very beautiful, like from the postcards, white buildings, green doors, nice pool and jacuzzi, very delicious breakfast, but Maria and Sofia make our stay even more unique I can't express how grateful for them I am, they are heart of this place. I hope we'll come back here. Thank you again

Where to start. We didn’t expect much, but this place, especially the 2 amazing women who made this place memorable! Big shoutout to Maria and Sofia! Without them this place will be just and ordinary accommodation. They are such a pure souls full of smiles and positive energy. Carrying about every single guest. Bringing people together. Giving them memories for life time ❤️ They made us feel so welcome from the first minute and we’ll never be thankful enough for it ❤️ also thank you our lovely chef Pavlina (hope i spell it right, if not im sorry)! Always making sure we have enough of everything! Apartment is cozy, bed comfortable. Nice and clean pool and jacuzzi. I have nothing negative to say! I will recommend it 1000x! And we will be back 🫶🏻

Our apartment was no. 5 We felt like we had the best apartment. It was on the 1st floor, so we had fabulous views of the sea and surrounding area. On our terrace, we had our own private hot tub, shaded swing beds, and table and chairs. It was so relaxing. The apartment was clean, infact it was cleaned daily, and the towels changed too. The breakfast was perfect for us. There is a supermarket less than 5 minutes walk. The beach and restaurants/bars are literally 10 minutes max walk. The managers Sophia and Maria are so lovely. They work really hard to ensure that everyone has the best time. Sofia organised our scooter hire and she also makes lovely cakes which she gifts to the residents on arrival with a welcome glass of local wine. We also had other gifts during our stay which made us feel very special and looked after 😁

Absolutely nothing 😄

I stayed for 3 nights in July, with my older teenage son and daughter, marking the end of a trip including Athens and Mykonos; we wanted somewhere peaceful to relax and enjoy the sun. The rooms were very comfortable (good air con in the main bedroom), clean and the pool was exceptional, with towels provided. The kitchenette was well-stocked and the coffee machine worked a treat. The maintenance of everything was very high. There is a lockable safe in the room. There was an excellent breakfast provided (at the Reception) and Maria-Flora/Sofia could not have been more hospitable and helpful. Sofia’s afternoon, poolside freshly-baked cakes were a real highlight as was the advice for things to do in the area. We spent a fair bit of time by the pool although it was just a 10min walk to the beach where we found an excellent range of restaurants for our evening meals. There are lots of watersports on offer at Perivolos and, if we had stayed longer we would have looked into doing. We arrived by ferry from Mykonos and got a taxi to the apartments (40€ is the standard for this) - we could have got a bus but it was extremely hot and with our bags etc. We hired a car for our last 1 1/2 days which worked well (Santorini car hire) - they brought the car to Ambeli apartments and we delivered back at the airport. This saved us money on the airport taxi and meant we could explore the island (Oia, Fira and Emporio village - the last one being our favourite as less touristy)

There was an occasional slight odour of sulphur outside but it was not clear if this was linked to the property or elsewhere as it was very windy, so difficult to say. Only I noticed it so it may just have been my over-sensitive senses!

We spent a fantastic time in these apartments as a group – both guys and girls – and we all agree: this place is truly special. From the very first moment, we were welcomed with incredible warmth and kindness – not just as guests, but truly like family. Every morning we were treated to a delicious, varied homemade breakfast, and on top of that – daily surprises from the lovely hosts: cakes, fresh fruit, or other treats, always prepared with care and heart. These small gestures made a big difference. The pool was large, clean, and well-maintained, surrounded by comfortable loungers that made it hard to leave. One of the biggest pluses was that we could use the pool until 9:00 PM, which was perfect given the high temperatures. The jacuzzi was also spotless and relaxing – ideal for unwinding in the evening. The rooms were spacious, very clean, and cozy, thoughtfully decorated with attention to every detail. It’s clear that everything here is done with love and pride. The day before we left, the hosts gave us handmade keyrings – such a touching gesture that made us feel even more at home. Maria and Sofia are absolutely wonderful – we all fell in love with them from day one. Their kindness, smiles, and warm energy created an unforgettable atmosphere. Our only regret is that the stay was too short… But if we get the chance, we will definitely come back! We wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone looking for genuine hospitality, peace, and a true sense of home away from home.

Feels like home from the moment you arrive. The staff are truly exceptional. Genuinely friendly and always willing to go the extra mile to make your stay feel personal and welcoming. The pool area is relaxing and beautifully maintained, and the rooms are spotless, with impressive daily cleaning that never slips. Located in a peaceful setting, yet just a short walk from the beach and a variety of great restaurants, it’s the perfect balance between tranquility and convenience.

None, we got exactly what we were looking for

This place is the crown jewel of the island. If you’re looking for an authentic Greek experience in Santorini, you’ll find it here. Let me start with two wonderful people: Maria and Sofia are exceptional hosts who know exactly how to take care of their guests. Their dedication is proof that it’s people who create the best atmosphere. You can count on them for help with anything—from arranging a car, recommending fantastic restaurants, to pointing out the most beautiful places to visit. Without them, this place simply wouldn’t be the same. No rating could truly reflect our gratitude. Our son also felt like he was with family here. He said he’d love to come back again to visit “Auntie Sofi and Auntie Mari.” As for the hotel itself, it’s very clean, the breakfasts are tasty and varied, and the location is close to the beach. In our opinion, having a car is worthwhile—not just for this place, but for exploring the whole island. If we return to Santorini, it will definitely be to Ambeli.

Well, where do I start. We stayed at Ambeli Apartments for 3 nights on a short trip to Santorini. We were met by Maria- Flora who couldn't have been more welcoming. I have been in contact with the Apartments via booking.com and WhatsApp where we they answered any questions I had. Maria made us freshly squeezed orange juice and offered dus time to relax before starting the checking in process. Maria has good knowledge of Santorini and was able to provide us with recommendations of places to visit and trips to go on. The room was small busy cozy and the beds are incredibly comfortable! Housekeeping attended everyday providing us with new towels and Maria had even popped in some beach towels just incase we forgot ours. It really is these little touches that make the difference. We had breakfast each morning wich was including in our VERY reasonable price and this consisted of a small hot and cold buffet, bacon, eggs and sausage, pastries, fruit, yoghurt, salad and cheese. Tea, coffee, juice and water was also available. A lovely welcome from Maria in the mornings with the offer of taking our plates and getting us any additional food. The pool was lovely and clean, cold but not unbearable and there were plenty of sun beds with shade and in the sun. It really is a small piece of paradise, especially for a couple. We also met Sofia, who arrived in the evenings when Maria would leave. What a kind hearted lady she is. Myself and my partner where relaxing in the hot tub and Sofia brought us two glasses of wine, some crisps and nuts and a small gesture to enjoy. I've never been anywhere like this. We had wine left.ourside our room, cakes made by Sofia and brought to us and Maria even gave us drinks on our last day to enjoy by the pool. These ladies really are a credit to Ambeli and if you are reading this and thinking about booking, you will not be disappointed. We can't wait to come back. Overall 11 out of 10 from us, Ambeli and the girls are a real gem.

Occasional power cut, especially when your in the shower! 😂
