Apanemo is the perfect place for those who want to discover Santorini and at the same time have the opportunity to relax. It is located away from the noise and lots of people of Oia and Fira. The staff are all very friendly and attentive. Dimitra is a very attentive person and available to guests. She recommended a boat trip for us, and we simply loved it! The hotel has a beautiful view, the rooms are spacious and very comfortable. Varied breakfast.

The only thing I liked least was the breakfast service. Not in relation to the food, but rather the way it is served. We have to choose what we are going to eat the day before. Employees bring everything to the table at the same time. We ended up choosing some things and didn't eat them. I think they should review this service and offer self service. It is much more practical and comfortable for guests. And also the water in the shower for bathing is not very heated.

Our stay at Aponemo and Santorini was perhaps the highlight of our 5-weeks through Europe. The views and location are amazing, the staff exceptional (particularly Isabel).

Very nice room with everything you would need. We booked the Ocean/Garden view. We really wish we had booked the Caldera View; we had ocean, but the garden turned out to be a dry/Rocky vacant lot next door. Not really what was shown in the pictures.

The staff were exceptional- very helpful- carried bags to room while we had a complimentary drink and "meet and greet" with staff who gave us a map and several excellent recommendations of where to go. The room was beautiful and the views were literally beyond words. Parking was easy and on site! We would definitely recommend this place! We would also recommend this town OVER OIA. The reason is the lighthouse sunset view was truly inspiring! The town and beaches are beautiful- the food and people were amazing. There were no ridiculous crowds and you can enjoy the experience. OIA is beautiful, as is, the entire island. The bigger cities like Oia and Fira were pretty and fun to walk, however, we didn't really spend much time OIA as it was too crowded with a steady stream buses arriving. We travelled in late October so, I can't even imagine what the summer would look like- definitely not our style of travel. We had a car, so drove the island- it is a beautiful place to visit and well worth the ferry ride (which was also beautiful).

All was wonderful!

The hotel location is perfect. On the outskirts of Akroteri, on the top of a cliff overlooking the caldera to Fira. Away from the island bustle and Akroteri is a great little village with character and good places to eat. The room was fantastic - split kevel room with a mezzanine bedroom. Large window opposite bed overlooked the Caldera! Spotlessly clean. Other hotel facilities were also clean, and the pools were great. Staff were excellent, welcome cocktail on arrival and friendly smiley service throughout.

The pool complex is a little small. The website pics make it look much bigger than it is. 2 of the pools are not much more than deep plunge pools. There would also be a lack of sunbeds if the hotel was busy. Some of the breakfast staff looked like they didn't want to be there, and were a little unhelpful, but the rest were awesome.

I had the absolute joy of staying for a while at Apanemo in Akrotiri, and honestly, I can’t recommend it enough. From the moment I arrived, I felt more like I was visiting old friends than checking into a hotel. The staff are some of the kindest, most helpful people I’ve ever met, always smiling, always ready to assist with anything. Nothing ever felt like too much for them. Apanemo is like a tiny village, and really doesn't feel like a hotel, it's quite awesome what the owners did there. And the view… where do I even begin? The Caldera stretched out before me like a painting. I spent quiet afternoons just sitting outside with a glass of wine, soaking it all in. It’s the kind of place that slows time down in the best way. Apanemo is tucked away on the calmer side of Santorini, in the village of Akrotiri, which I personally loved. It’s peaceful, serene, and feels more like real island life. That said, I’d definitely recommend having a car if you’re planning to explore the island easily. I really want to emphasise that Akrotiri is not Fira or Oia. This is a much more relaxed side of the island. To the entire team at Apanemo: thank you from the bottom of my heart. You made me feel completely at home, and this stay is something I’ll never forget. I look forward to seeing you all again.

There was nothing to dislike.

I stayed here with my mother and neither of us could have imagined how excellent the experience would be, it exceeded all our expectations. They have a variety of options for breakfast(also gluten free), the rooms are clean and comfortable, the staff is very friendly and the best of all is the guidance and support they give you throughout your stay, offering transportation to the bus stop and pick you up from the same stop to take us to the hotel, they also offered transportation beyond the stop (for an extra cost). They welcomed us with the best energies and with some drinks from the house, they also gave us a map and the bus schedules so we could know how to get around, the best welcome possible, suddenly you feel centered and at home with that welcome. The hotel restaurant was closed, and since buses to Akrotiri only run until 7 p.m., we thought it would be very difficult to get dinner. Even so, they offered to help us go to a restaurant (they were kind enough to find me a gluten-free option) whenever we needed it. The hotel is a bit far from the bus stop, but it wasn't a problem. It's worth it for the views, which are beautiful from wherever you are.

Loved it all

The view from our room was breathtaking. The staff is exceptional—truly outstanding. They are incredibly nice and go above and beyond to ensure your stay is comfortable. A thoughtful touch was the takeaway breakfast bag they provided us since we needed to check out early. The pool looked nice (and the view is out of this world), though we couldn't use it due to high winds and not-so-great weather. The location was convenient; we rented a car and easily explored the southern part of the island, which we found to be the best area of Santorini. Driving made it simple to reach Fira and nearby beaches (reachable in 5 to 15 min) . The breakfast was excellent; they give you a menu the day before so you can choose what you'd like. The room was very comfortable. They have a bar with a beautiful view where you can Get drinks and coffee from (also lunch, although we did not try it). Thank you to Heleni, Isabel, and Irias for the warm welcome!

The location might not be so great if you don't choose to rent a car (check with the accommodation the transfer options). The shower was not super hot for two showers in a row (not a problem for summer time). Remember that the tap water in the whole island the tap is salty (they gave us a large bottle of drinkable water a day which we used to brush our teeth and wash our face) :) a bit more attention to the fact we are vegetarian would be a extra bonus (we had bacon added to one of our breakfast dishes although I highlighted my dietary requirement). But this is minor considering that this place is superb (I hope I can come back soon)!

Breakfast was creative & tasty. Selection is made from a menu the day before & brought to your table the next morning, which is efficient given the limited space of the breakfast room. Staff are friendly & eager to please, but we missed interacting with the local owners who had been on scene when we stayed there some years ago. It seems like the labor force on the island are all from somewhere else! The view is phenomenal, but it was very windy & we could not sit at the lovely pool or on our terrace to look at it. We booked a room based on its terrace with caldera view, but had to settle for looking out some small windows.

The room was sparsely furnished & the bathroom, especially the shower, needed major scrubbing and/or remodeling to get rid of mildew stains. A kettle was provided when requested, but there was only one bedside lamp & they could not provide one for the other bedside table. Bed was too firm for us, but the linens were of good quality. In general, this hotel has a great location, but is in need of renewal compared to our stay there a few years ago. It was the end of a very busy season & showed it. If we return, we would be more selective about room choice. High winds largely confined us to our room, and we needed the interior to provide a little more comfort.

Property is a gem. Extremely beautiful views, kind and friendly staff ready any time to answer to your needs and wants. The breakfast is also very tasty and plenty of choices to choose from… The fresh orange juice made our day and the espresso coffee pods will offer you a restaurant like experience.

We really enjoy the views …but what will always keep in our mind and memories are the people who make this place out of this world with their hospitality and daily smiles. We will miss them…and will really miss this place already even we traveled all over continents..

Exceptional staff that will go above and beyond to take care of your needs. I’m not easily impressed and this was definitely one place where the owner and the staff take care of you like you’re their family member. Beautiful and quiet place, with amazing views of the caldera. Restaurant at the hotel was very good and we chose to eat there several nights. Breakfast is excellent, cooked to order and included in the rate.

Smell in the shower-sulfurous gases coming up through the pipes. It would not go away. However, this was a very minor issue and did not detract from our stay.
