I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The room was tiny with a narrow bed and kitchen, suitable for a single person, but it did get very hot as there was no air conditioning upstairs. On the bright side, the place did make us feel at home.

The service was friendly and reliable, but there was an attempt to rush us out before our checkout time to accommodate other potential guests.

The hotel is located in Finika, not Oia, and while it's a short walk to Oia, it's valuable to live far from the city center. The beautiful terrace and nearby excellent restaurants are a plus.
Dining
6.0
The dining experience consisted of basic appetizers prepared for each guestroom, and you have to prepare your meals from the fridge provided.

The hotel had a beautiful traditional and quirky design but had some drawbacks like temperature control issues in the rooms and the inconvenience of having to walk to the reception for any needs. The service was exceptional with friendly and accommodating staff. The location was nice but lacked appealing views from the rooms. The dining experience had some shortcomings in terms of variety and quality. Overall, a mixed experience with some positives and negatives.
Rooms
6.0
The rooms had temperature control issues as the bedroom did not get very cold and required the AC to be on all day at the lowest temperature, resulting in the living room being too cold. Some had phones while others didn't.

The location was doable with a 10-minute stroll into Oia, but the view from the rooms was disappointing, only showing a wall from the balcony.
Dining

The dining experience left much to be desired with a simple breakfast consisting of basic items stored in the refrigerator. Some essential breakfast elements were lacking in quality.

The hotel offers wonderful little houses that are clean and very pretty, but keeping the AC on at the lowest temperature to combat the heat makes the living room above too cold. The service provided is excellent, although there was a minor issue with communication about turning on the water heater. The location is peaceful and close to Oia, enhancing the overall experience, but some minor inconveniences like hot water shortage during showers and internet connectivity issues were noted. The dining experience, while basic, is stored in the refrigerator and lacks variety in options.

The service was excellent, especially the lady who waited until 1 am to show us around. Just a small hiccup with the water heater instructions.
