FEGGARI APARTMENTS
FEGGARI APARTMENTS"Loved the apartment and the beautiful ocean views. The staff communicated effectively with us and helped when needed. Very clean and comfortable with plenty of space. The room was cool on its own but we did have an AC. I would stay again. The only warning is that it is located down several flights of stairs. If you have heavy luggage or need accommodations this would be a challenging spot to get to. Loved the area though. It was quieter than Oia and I thought even more beautiful."

The Majestic Hotel
"We really enjoyed our stay here. Our room was very nice and had lovely sunset views. The pool area was very good. The breakfast was good and if you asked they would make you omelettes. The staff were all very helpful and friendly. The location is great 8 mins into Fira. I would stay here again"
Loizos Stylish Residences
"Con recommend 100% Great staff !!! Great location !!! All perfect !!!"
Aria Suites
"Outstanding place to stay on the Caldera cliffs of Fira. The location is central and very convenient, close to the beginning of the Fira to Oia Cliff walk. We easily got to the restaurants, nightlife, and shopping, and also to Fira town square. We had a beautiful sitting area with our own plunge pool overlooking the cliffs. We were served breakfast there every day. It felt so indulgent to have our own space overlooking the ocean while could see tourists from afar angling to get views, especially at sunset. Our villa (Traviata) was spectacular. It was a cave house with a living room, dining area complete with refrigerator and minibar, a separate bedroom, two bathrooms and two showers, and our own indoor plunge pool jacuzzi. Stacy, the manager, was wonderful. She was knowledgeable and helpful. She organized transfers and gave us advice on what to do and see. All of our requests and questions were taken care of. She is fantastic! We enjoyed seeing Bacho and Sosa everyday. They brought us breakfast, helped with out hot tub, and helped carry our luggage up and down the path to the main road. I highly recommend staying here. Thereโs nothing like waking up with a Caldera view or seeing the sunset everyday from your private vantage point. It truly made our trip unique."
