Reviews
The location was amazing. It was outside of the craziness of Oia but just a quick drive. The hotel would arrange a private transport for us to anywhere we needed to go.
The breakfast was amazing and I’m still thinking about it weeks later. The staff brings the breakfast right to your room and you can enjoy the breakfast on the balcony/patio for your room.
I am obsessed with this hotel and hope I can come back!
