Magnifique
Pros:

Our stay at Elysian Retreat was absolutely outstanding from beginning to end. The hotel is simply breathtaking, with beautiful architecture, exceptional attention to detail, and luxurious finishes throughout. Everything feels premium and has been designed to perfection.

The rooms are stunning, incredibly spacious, and the private terrace is perfect for relaxing. The heated private pool is a real highlight—the water is always at the perfect temperature, making it enjoyable at any time of the day. The shared pool is equally magnificent and creates a wonderful atmosphere.

The breakfast was absolutely delicious with a great variety of fresh, high-quality options. One feature we especially loved was the possibility of having breakfast delivered directly to our room, which made our mornings even more relaxing. The food truck at the hotel is also excellent, offering a wide selection of delicious meals at very reasonable prices.

The location is ideal. Oia is less than a two-minute quad ride away, making it incredibly easy to explore one of Santorini’s most beautiful villages. There is also a supermarket less than 200 meters from the hotel, which is very convenient. Fira is also just a short drive away, making it easy to visit different parts of the island.

Communication with the hotel is seamless thanks to WhatsApp. It is a huge advantage, as the team responds incredibly quickly to every request, making everything effortless throughout the stay.

A very special thank you to Eman, who was unbelievably kind and helpful. She was always available, gave us fantastic recommendations and advice, and genuinely cared about making our stay as enjoyable as possible. Her professionalism and kindness made a real difference.

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would recommend Elysian Retreat without any hesitation. If you’re looking for a beautiful, peaceful, and luxurious place to stay in Santorini, this is the perfect choice. We would happily return again.

Byliśmy zaopiekowani jak w hotelu *****
Pros:

Obsługa na najwyższym poziomie. Śniadania na 6 gwiazdek. Piękne zachody słońca pomimo że nie na kalderę. Lokalizacja blisko Oia, na piechotę 15 min. pod górę.

Pros:

Beautiful hotel set in tranquil surroundings, modern, clean.

Cons:

absolute aanrader!
Pros:

Ons verblijf bij Elysian Retreat was in één woord fantastisch. De rustige ligging is echt een enorme troef: midden tussen de akkers en wijngaarden, met op de achtergrond zicht op de zee. De ideale plek om volledig tot rust te komen en te genieten van de prachtige zonsondergangen van Santorini, weg van de drukte.
Wij verbleven in Villa Grace, een smaakvol ingerichte villa met alle comfort. Het bed sliep heerlijk, alles was kraaknet onderhouden en het gigantische terras was absoluut een hoogtepunt: Je kan er gezellig ontspannen in je loungezetels rond de gashaard of genieten van de zonsondergang vanuit je verwarmde privézwembad — pure luxe.
Elke ochtend werd een heerlijk à-la-carteontbijt op ons terras geserveerd, wat zorgde voor een extra ontspannen start van de dag. Ook het wellnessmoment was top: we hoefden onze villa niet eens te verlaten, want de massage werd gewoon in onze kamer gegeven.
Een bijkomend pluspunt is de parkeermogelijkheid op het domein, wat op Santorini zeker handig is. Daarnaast verdient het personeel een speciale vermelding: receptie, kamermeisje en roomservice waren stuk voor stuk ontzettend vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Ook de restauranttip die we kregen om in de buurt te gaan eten was een schot in de roos.
Via het verblijf boekten we bovendien een boottocht bij Caldera Yachting, en ook dat was een absolute aanrader.
Kortom: een luxueuze, rustige en warme plek waar werkelijk aan alles gedacht wordt. Wij keren met heel mooie herinneringen terug naar huis.

Cons:

Frigo maakte een licht zoemend geluid, een heel5 klein minpuntje voor wie geen vaste slaper is.
Tip: Badjassen ter beschikking zou ook fijn zijn.

experience incroyable
Pros:

We had the most wonderful experience at Elysian Retreat . Eman has been extremely helpful, before our arrival , during our stay and Even after! She recommanded great addresses to us and Even took care of the bookings. We were in Santorini for our honeymoon and we could not have dreamt of anything better. The suite was incredible, we had never had such an experience : 500% clean, beddings really comfortable. The heated swimming pool was definetely a huge plus, especially in May. Breakfast was really good and they took my dietary restrictions very seriously . All in all, I wish I could give more than 5 stars. Free parking and calm are also huge bonuses after the agitation of the centre of the village. Thank you again so much Eman for making our stay so special.

Beautiful!!!
Pros:

The villas are beautiful and staff are super attentive and friendly. We absolutely loved our stay and will definitely be coming back. Only thing to note would be the pools are quite cold so if you are going in May, it’s not ideal temperature for a dip.
