Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The room was tiny with a narrow bed and kitchen, suitable for a single person, but it did get very hot as there was no air conditioning upstairs. On the bright side, the place did make us feel at home.
The hotel had a beautiful traditional and quirky design but had some drawbacks like temperature control issues in the rooms and the inconvenience of having to walk to the reception for any needs. The service was exceptional with friendly and accommodating staff. The location was nice but lacked appealing views from the rooms. The dining experience had some shortcomings in terms of variety and quality. Overall, a mixed experience with some positives and negatives.
The hotel offers wonderful little houses that are clean and very pretty, but keeping the AC on at the lowest temperature to combat the heat makes the living room above too cold. The service provided is excellent, although there was a minor issue with communication about turning on the water heater. The location is peaceful and close to Oia, enhancing the overall experience, but some minor inconveniences like hot water shortage during showers and internet connectivity issues were noted. The dining experience, while basic, is stored in the refrigerator and lacks variety in options.
