Well what can we say, this place is amazing! Cannot fault the hotel, rooms, staff, location or food! We enjoyed 2 evening meals while watching the sunset and it had to be the most relaxing, enjoyable experiences my wife and I have ever had! The hotel itself is immaculate, the staff cannot do enough for you from bringing your breakfast and serving on your balcony to carrying your luggage up and down the many Stepps when we arrived and departed.

Remezzo Villas looks out over the Caldera with stunning views. Staff made us feel very welcome and were very helpful. For me the only drawback was the number of steps down to the property but out bags were carried for us and again when we left. Breakfasts were very tasty and different everyday. We had enough to keep us going until dinner time! The surrounding area was very busy with cars and taxi's although it had a pharmacy, several very nice places to eat and souvenir shops. Rooms were...

The room was very clean and spacious. The decoration was lovely. It had a balcony with umbrella to shade the sun if needed. Free shampoo and shower gel, bottle of water and wine. Plus a kettle so I could have my morning coffee. Airport shuttle was extra but much cheaper then a taxi. The owner gave a warm welcome and gave advice about the area. Very close to the sea and main shopping area. I had a lovely stay and would recommend it to anyone

Just came home from a 5 night stay in Elements Cozy Suites and I was absolutely over the moon with everything! The staff member Dimitra was the kindest person ever and honestly made my holiday so much more enjoyable, knowing I had someone I could ask ANYTHING about!

This is a great hotel! Breakfast is delivered to your room every morning and the food selections were delicious. We ate at the table on the balcony and enjoyed the views of the caldera. The room was enormous and the bed comfortable.

Had a great stay at Hill Suites, Costa and Tomas made us feel very welcome and gave us all the information we needed. Would recommend to anyone visiting Santorini.

It’s one of my top 10 favourite hotels now: the hotel location, the unbeatable sea view from the front garden/hot tub (we took so many beautiful pics from it), the careful & friendly hotel service, wish we had stayed longer, highly recommended!

My partner and I had the most magical week staying at Smaro Studios! We'd especially like to say thank you to Ifigeneia who was wonderful with us!
Because of our flight times, we didn't arrive till really late, but this was absolutely no problem! Ifi met us straight out of our taxi and took us to our room and showed us around!
We loved the location of Firostefani - close enough to lively Fira, but quieter and more relaxed - with plenty of high quality restaurants and shops right on our...

What a truly remarkable establishment; the staff were exceptionally pleasant and accommodating, fulfilling all our requests. They even went above and beyond by delivering an item we had forgotten to the airport. We are sincerely grateful for making our stay so unforgettable.

I could not recommend this hotel enough! It is a hidden gem away from the hustle and bustle of Fira but a short walk away. The area it situated in is absolutely pefect as it is so calm and relaxing and two minutes walk to watch the famous Santorini sunset without all the crowds like you get in oia and Fira . The pool area is so tranquil with perfect music choice and complete privacy unlike some on the front! The staff are incredible and really make this hotel ultra special! They are the nicest...

Beautiful view over the volcano. Conveniently located for Fira. Excellent friendly service from the concierge. Taxi can get to the door so no luggage up and down the cliff face.

We had a wonderful stay in Santorini and couldn’t recommend this hotel enough! Chrysa was so helpful, kind and welcoming throughout our stay and went above and beyond to help us celebrate my husband’s 30th birthday, which made it extra special.
The cats were an absolute highlight too! 🐱 We miss them so much! We also loved the restaurant just down the road, which was a great bonus.
The room was gorgeous and we loved the bathroom, so amazing and the overhead shower was lovely!

What is a historic hotel like in Santorini?
Historic hotels give guests the chance to stay in a place that's been recognised with an official historic designation. Historic hotels throughout the world can be castles, palaces or even pubs or old police stations — as long as it's of special interest. These types of hotels in Santorini often retain original qualities like traditional architecture and period features in their public spaces or guestrooms.
What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
The two are similar. The term “historic hotel” is more common in the U.S., while you'll often hear "heritage hotel" in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to place more significance on the architecture and actual building. A heritage hotel draws meaning mainly from the cultural value that the place has and how it inspired the community.
Do historic hotels in Santorini have modern facilities?
Yes. Every effort is made to preserve the historic aspects and traditions, but interiors include modern conveniences and safety features. Guests can expect the amenities you'd find in a hotel such as private rooms with updated bathroom facilities, heating and air conditioning, and free and fast Internet. In Santorini, booking a historic hotel doesn't mean you're choosing a place that's uncomfortable for guests or simply rundown.
