Emi and her family were outstanding owners and service oriented The rooms were very clean and had all the basics you needed. Drinking water was not provided daily, and it is a high value item on the island. The included breakfast was outstanding and far beyond just continental. For a price, they did a great job of arranging transportation anytime it was needed.

Property is very nice and relaxing (had to find it with help from Google Maps listed as a "restaurant"). It is up a hill. Room was very good, clean, olive oil soap, balcony, view. Staff friendly, good breakfast. Akrotiri is a more secluded area, it is walkable through pathways to a few shops.

The owners of the hotel made us feel so welcome and looked after. Nothing was too much to ask for. The hotel is spotless and has beautiful views of the caldera and is very well situated with local shops and a bus stop for Fira a 10 minute walk away. There is also a quad bike rental place next door to the hotel where we got an amazing price for our rental. I cannot recommend this hotel strongly enough, thank you for making our holiday perfect!
