We stayed at the Dreaming View Suites for four wonderful nights in late April 2014. I found this hotel online after doing several searches of where to stay, but there were no reviews. I figured we would take a chance since the pictures looked so inviting. And I'm glad we did! The pictures look just like the website!
We stayed in the Yellow Suite and it was great. Upon checking in, our concierge Olga greeted us with local wine, dessert, water, and a map of Santorini. We were in such awe of the views from our patio that it all seemed so magical.
Dreaming View suites is located in Imerovigli, which is about a 20-30 minute walk along the path from the main town of Thira. It is a quieter section of Santorini, which we were happy about. It sits right on the main pathway that connects Thira to Oia. If you like walking/hiking, then you can easily do a short hike to Skaros, walk to Thira to enjoy some of the restaurants or shopping, or do a day hike to Oia.
The room itself was very clean and comfortable. There is a mini kitchen (no stove, but a sink, refrigerator, plates, utensils, and hotpot to heat water), which we used on nights we didn't feel like eating out and just brought back some light refreshments from the local market. The hot tub in our room was also really nice to use every night to soak our tired limbs from all our walking and hiking. The hotel also provides slippers (since it's cemented floors) and changed our towels on a daily basis, which apparently is needed since it stays pretty humid and things won't dry quickly. This was good for us since we had to hand wash some of our clothing since we were staying in Greece for awhile-- thank goodness for the hair dryer so we could dry our clothes!
The only disadvantage I think is that with the hot tub in the room, there is a slight chemical smell of chlorine. But of course, that is necessary to make sure the hot tub stays clean. And if you're not too sensitive to smells, it shouldn't bother you too much.
Overall, I would definitely stay at the Dreaming View Suites for the affordability, friendly staff, and ideal location. I miss it already!
