Our stay at Elessa was the highlight of our vacation. Thank you for being so accommodating.
Pros:

The staff at Elessa were exceptional. Maria at the front desk was incredibly attentive from the moment we booked our stay up until we left. Our server at the restaurant was incredibly timely, kind, and attentive. He remembered how we took out coffee each day! All around a fantastic get-away. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking to get away and relax in a beautiful area.

Cons:

My only suggestion would be to have more water available in the room.

Amazing peaceful hotel
Pros:

The hotel is so lovely! Beautiful accomodation, amazing breakfast - we loved it! The pool is realy big, and has great view, it was not that crowded. The guys that are serving the breakfast are so nice and polite, the owner of hotel and his wife also amazing people. The hot tub in our room was also great, the bed is comfortable - so we loved the stay here and would come again !

Cons:

Everything was good, but you have to have a car to get there definitely and also maybe the lights in bathroom could have been more better.

Pros:

Прекрасный уютный отель на горе примерно в центре острова. Внимательный вежливый персонал.
Мария всегда рада помочь.
По нашей просьбе получили поздний чек аут.
Завтрак по меню выше всяких похвал на уровне лучших ресторанов острова.У нас была машина поэтому до всех достопримечательностей добирались без проблем.
В номере бассейн с водой 28 градусов поэтому даже в октябре купаться в нем было комфортно.

Cons:

Maria you angel - Elessa hotel, our most incredible stay ever !!
Pros:

Our stay at Elessa Hotel was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we felt like we were being welcomed into a family rather than just checking into a hotel. We were even surprised with an upgraded room, which was absolutely perfect — beautifully designed, comfortable, and everything we could have hoped for during our honeymoon.

The food and coffee were out of this world — every meal felt like it was crafted with love and care. What truly set our experience apart, though, was Maria. She went above and beyond to make sure our stay was seamless and unforgettable. Always warm, attentive, and ready to help with anything we needed, she added such a personal and heartfelt touch to our time at Elessa.

Thanks to the incredible hospitality, delicious food, and the perfect room, our honeymoon became an experience we will never forget. We cannot recommend Elessa Hotel highly enough — it’s a true gem in Santorini, and we cannot wait to return.
