1864 The Sea Captain's House

This location gets a 10 rating. Excellent location, and the room was very comfortable. The breakfast was outstanding and the staff was very attentive. Below our balcony is where all the popular Blue Dome photos are taken.

If you get a chance to stay here, it is out of this world. The view is second to none. Even though there are a ton of people around taking photos, your room is completely private and you have an unobstructed view of Santorini. One of the oldest properties in Santorini, the hotel has so much charm, especially its decor. Everything is near you. We even cancelled our dinner reservations because dining on our balcony was even better. The owners were so nice and helped us with our luggage and even stored it for us afterward. Highly recommend if you want to be in the heart of Santorini.

Great location, super nice staff. Extraordinary breakfast!!!

One of the best vacation we had. Santorini is amazing and staying at Sea Captains was the most wise decision we made. Property is beautiful, I think it has the best location on the island. The service, what can I say, First class all the way. Takis and his staff, They pamper us from the time we wake up in the morning with coffee, breakfast in our villa, and he made sure we are taken care through the day with suggestions and setting up places to visit and eat. We will be back and strongly recommend.

Our stay at the the Sea Captain’s house surpassed our expectations. Takis, the manager, has excellent communication before arrival with options for travel to the hotel and offered help with excursions. Takis also arranged for a porter to help with our bags as it is down two sets of stairs from the main pedestrian only paths. Also included was 2 big bottles of water per day. We were provided with one of the best breakfast we have had in a hotel: coffee/tea, orange juice, baked goods, fruit plate, cheese and meat selections, Greek yoghurt, honey, and eggs. We were set for a day of exploring. Takis helped us plan our days. We would stay again and definitely recommend to anyone who wants to live the way people have in Oia for years….away from cars, enjoying a beautiful view. One has to expect so many people in the small walkways of Oia and adjust when you want to take photos. We were able to take the 2 domes photo but we did get up at 6am, fortunately we went back to the hotel and alept before breakfast.

In the heart of Oia just steps outside the door is the most magnificent view and opportunity for fabulous pictures of the iconic Santorini landscape. This is a quaint hotel with an amazing staff. Everything was perfect!

Very nice location and very good reception and service highly recommended it

Mr.Takis is a very nice property manager. He arranged all our pickups and drop off to and from hotel.He made sure we had breakfast next day as we had to do an early check out. This property is located in the heart of Oia with amazing views. We got up early to take pictures with the blue dome as it was right next to property and had a peaceful walk on the strip of Oia.

Beautiful property. Lovely breakfast each day, clean rooms, and cute historic details. And it’s super close to everything, so very convenient. Beautiful views as well. Highly recommend.

Service was very personable and you certainly felt that you were important. Breakfast was amazing.

If you are looking to spend time in Oia, we cannot more highly recommend Takis and his staff for their care and commitment.

Amazing property with the views everyone wants of Santorini. Highly recommend. Very lovely hosts that can arrange anything you need from transfers to tours, etc. Breakfast was amazing, plentiful and eggs to order!

We have traveled all over and this is the best place we have ever stayed. Beautiful, clean, unbelievable views, and amazing staff. Has to be the best place to stay in the area.

This the locationest of locations in Oia. Great for viewing views without crowding in crowds.

Excellent historic heritage property.
Huge rooms. Bathrooms are antiquated with no shower curtains/barriers (apparently due to heritage property regulations).
Nice breakfast and excellent owners

My wife and I stayed at this lovely boutique cave hotel and we had an amazing time. The location of this hotel is awesome, very convenient to walk to all the places to see in Oia plus close to the bus stop if you want to go to other places in Santorini, plus it has great views of the caldera and literally a stone’s throw from one of the picture taking place. Secondly, the breakfast was great, lots of fruits, Greek yogurt, cheese and choice of eggs. They even packed the breakfast for our early morning departure. Lastly, the manager, Mr Takis, is awesome. He sat down with us on multiple occasions and talked to us about the island’s history and geography. He helped plan our two day trip, suggested which restaurant’s to go to, and had arranged for our taxi ride from and back to the ferry. He made us feel like family. We would highly recommend this place.

Great stay. We loved the privacy and location.

best view, no steps, near the center, best area.

Very good location

Loved our host

The manager, Mr. Takis, is very nice. The location is great.
