An amazing hotel, in a gorgeous place called Megalochori in the middle of the island of Santorini which makes it very easy to visit all famous places. We enjoyed a marvelous stay there. The room was excellent. We had our own private jacuzzi and we experienced the most mind-blowing view above the famous Caldera. Relaxing by the pool we enjoyed superb meals and unique drinks prepared by the awesome bartender Fotis. I highly recommend it to couples or families.

Very small rooms but the view is incredible. Perfect for sunsets. Very convenient to Megalochori center with all the food and shops. Also about 10 minutes from both Fira and the Southern black sand beach. We loved it and would stay again.
