Amazing stay, beautiful accommodation and very friendly staff.
Pros:

We had an amazing stay and were extremely satisfied with everything.

The accommodation was exactly as beautiful as it looked in the photos. Everything was very clean, the room was cleaned regularly, and the pool was also spotless. The location is peaceful and beautiful, with a wonderful view, and Oia is easy to reach.

The entire staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming from the very beginning until the end of our stay. A special thank you to Eman, who was always very kind, helpful, and attentive. Whenever we needed anything or wanted to order something, she responded very quickly and always gave us great support.

The breakfast and lunch were absolutely delicious, very fresh, and of really high quality. It is a perfect place to relax, enjoy the beautiful surroundings, and simply switch off.

Overall, it is a very beautiful accommodation and definitely worth a visit. We can highly recommend staying here when visiting Santorini.

Thank you very much to Eman and the whole team for the wonderful stay. We were extremely happy and satisfied with everything 🤍

De ensueño
Pros:

PERFECTO. Des de el primer momento estás en un paraíso, el personal te ayuda en todo (con las maletas, con los traslados, tienen opción de coger coche/buggy/moto,etc. en el mismo alojamiento sin tener que moverte) las instalaciones son perfectas y muy relajantes, no hay nada de ruido y hay tan pocos huéspedes que ni los ves. Todo el hotel está cuidado al detalle. El desayuno es a la carta y está riquísimo y puedes pedir que te lo lleven a la habitación es genial.

Pros:

Отель полностью соответствует фото, чистый, новый, маленький с маленькими количеством людей , за счёт чего очень уединенный. Уютный и тихий, с шикарными видами . Очень хорошое соотношение цены и качества

Cons:

Лучше брать отель без завтрака и завтракать в другом месте, завтраки были «бедные» и не вкусные, не было даже овощей либо лосося, сосисок. Так же на завтраке был маленький выбор напитков. Лучше потратить лишние деньги и поехать в другое место. Либо же самостоятельно перекусить в номере .

Cons:

הכל היה מושלם אין משהו רע להגיד

Un très bon séjour
Pros:

Un endroit super, agréable, bien au calme par rapport à l’agitation d’Oia tout en restant à proximité. L’hôtel est propre et très bien entretenu. Le personnel était au petit soin pour nous donner des bonnes adresses, conseils.

Cons:

Un petit manque d’intimité ressenti. Notamment lors du passage de la personne s’occupant des piscines a des horaires où nous étions sur place.

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.
