Hotel situé a l'écart de la foule avec toutes les commodités a proximité . Piscine génial et la vue est superbe. Les chambres sont spacieuses avec frigo mais uniquement 2 fourchettes 1 couteaux et 1 cuillère. Pas du tout pratique pour manger dans la chambre, je pense que c'est pour nous en dissuader..
Le personnel est gentil et disponible pour toutes demandes (taxis, croisière et location de véhicules )
Le petit déjeuner propose un large choix de produits mais pas toujours très frais ou de bonne qualité

Consigliato
Esperienza più che buona: camera pulita e spaziosa, location in un posto tranquillo lontano dal chiasso e bella vista sulla caldera e sul mare. Il resto dell’isola è facile e veloce da raggiungere. Colazione sufficiente. Consigliato.

Più che un hotel un tranquillo B&B a conduzione familiare con una bella piscina. La struttura è semplice con camere pulite e con un arredo basico. Lontano dal caos e dalle città principali e’ l’ideale per chi cerca relax e tranquillità in un ambiente quasi domestico. Consiglio il noleggio di auto o scooter in quanto la struttura è abbastanza isolata e la possibilità di muoversi è limitata al bus pubblico o alla Red Beach. Migliorerei la colazione con prodotti più freschi e del giorno.

Great hotel and service
Hotel is located in Akrotiri, a quiet village in Santorini, easy to get around by bus or car. The hosts were wonderful and made sure that we had everything we needed to make our stay perfect. Room was large which was nice for my family of 4. Would definitely stay here again when we return to Santorini.
