De las mejores vistas q podría esperar
Pros:

Tiene unas vistas espectaculares!! Es personal que nos atendió muy amable y nos ayudó mucho en todo. La cama era muy cómoda el baño muy espacioso y la ubicación muy buena para ver bastantes cosas caminando. También tiene restaurantes muy cerca y muy buenos!!

Cons:

No me gustó que pedí una copa de vino a la habitación y no la recogieron al día siguiente en la limpieza. El primer día se me acabó el body milk, lo saqué del sitio y lo dejé encima del lavabo para que al colocarlo se dieran cuenta que había q rellenarlo, eso no pasó nunca, lo cambié de sitio y no movieron el bote para nada. El último día llegué y las ventanas de mi habitación estaban abiertas, cuando caía el sol hacía bastante frío. En la parte exterior movían las tumbonas pero solo las limpiaron el segundo día, el primero las movieron y se veía suciedad y restos de algo q parecía comida donde estaba la tumbona. También tenían muchas arañitas pequeñas, quizás con un correcto mantenimiento eso no pase…. El jacuzzi cuando lo encendimos también nos dimos cuenta que las burbujas que hacía el agua eran marrones. Nos dio un poco de mal rollo la verdad. Todo esto lo dejo aquí porque en realidad es un sitio espectacular y quizás sería bueno cuidar esos pequeños detalles para q todo sea perfecto!

Unique location. Exceptionally helpful staff. A bucket list location.
Pros:

The staff were excellent. Communication before we arrived to offer transfers from airport. Wanted to know how our holiday had been prior to arrival and we shared that we were going on to Istanbul after and we were given some great tips on where to go in Istanbul. For Santorini, the staff provided great recommendations on restaurants and places to walk to for views of the caldera and sunset. The location is right on the caldera which was an amazing experience as it was originally part of an original village’s homes. Lots of steps to get up and down to room, bar and pool but that part of the experience for this location.

Cons:

Lots of steps. If stairs aren’t your thing then ask for a room higher up closer to reception. Santorini is a unique location on an old volcano caldera so stairs are to be expected given how the old villages were constructed. We loved our stay but we also planned our outings to reduce the number of times we had to go up and down to our room.

安靜的飯店，服務人員非常親切，有問題都非常快的解決，有在回來還會選擇這間飯店。
Pros:

非常喜歡飯店的地點，可以從陽台看到美麗的海灣，安靜的飯店，遊客不會走到客房區，早餐會送到房間，可以坐在陽台享用。最後一天因為飛機是在晚上，飯店提供了一間房間免費讓我們可以使用到出發，這一點真的很貼心。

Cons:

下午的陽光非常曬，無法長期坐在陽台享受。

Une très belle expérience dans un cadre exceptionnel, avec une vue magnifique et un personnel aux petits soins.
Pros:

Très bel hôtel, idéalement situé avec une magnifique vue sur la Caldera et tout Imerovigli. Les chambres sont troglodytes et toutes différentes, il ne faut donc pas forcément s’attendre à retrouver exactement la chambre vue sur les photos, mais c’est aussi ce qui fait le charme et le côté atypique de l’établissement.

Notre chambre était belle, propre et très confortable, avec une literie de qualité. La vue depuis la chambre était tout simplement magnifique sur Imerovigli et la Caldera.

Le petit-déjeuner, servi exclusivement en room service, peut être pris dans la chambre ou sur la terrasse. Il est bon, même s’il pourrait être un peu plus travaillé pour être vraiment exceptionnel.

Le personnel a été un véritable point fort du séjour : chaleureux, disponible et très réactif, notamment pour organiser des réservations de restaurants ou de taxis. Une mention spéciale à Alexandra, particulièrement gentille et de très bon conseil pour nous indiquer les endroits à visiter.

La piscine est également très agréable et bénéficie d’une belle vue. Merci au barman pour la sélection musicale, qui contribuait vraiment à l’ambiance.

Cons:

La salle de bain mériterait un petit rafraîchissement : l’humidité commence notamment à faire cloquer la chaux blanche. Point à souligner compte tenu du standing et du prix de l’établissement.

Le petit-déjeuner est bon, mais manque peut-être d’un petit quelque chose pour être à la hauteur du reste de l’expérience.
