Located in Fira, this hotel is within a 15-minute walk of Wall Paintings of Thira Exhibition and Archaeological Museum. Museum of Prehistoric Thira is 0.9 mi (1.5 km) away.
Pros: Beautiful terrace with a breathtaking view of the caldera. Friendly staff. Delicious breakfast makes a perfect day.
Cons: Wifi is a bit weak inside the room.
Nice location - out of the bustle of Fira but within an easy walk. WifFi connection very good from the deck. Nice buffet breakfast served on the deck. Excellent coffee.
Pros: Thomas and Alex are great hosts - we were definitely given the feeling that they cared about us and our comfort. Housekeeping staff very meticulous. Loved the deck area overlooking the caldera. Rooms are spacious. The view is amazing.
Cons: At first I was a bit daunted by the all the steps but every thing else was so positive that I quickly forgot about them.
I am embassed to say how many photos I took from my balcony - but the views at sunrise, midday and sunset were each striking and memorable. My room and the entire hotel structure was classically and solidly built. Even my bed frame was built into the masony of the room - but the bed itself was very comfortable. There was a separate shower room off the bathroom that was built into the hotel structure. The hotel managers and staff were very friendly and willing to go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable. They didn't hesitate to walk out to the street to make sure you could find your way. Although the breakfast food selection offering left a bit to be desired, the outdoor tables and view lifted one's spirit so much you really didn't mind. You found yourself going up and down steps quite a bit to get from one part of the hotel to another, but that should be expected on the rim of the caldera. There is a lovely pedestrian walkway that follows the caldera rim down to the busy downtown area of Fira, with its many shops, restaurants and museums - all within a pedestrian only area. It is about a 15 minute walk, but ladies should bring comfortable walking shoes because part of the surface is inlaid with rounded stones.
Pros: The view from my hotel room door was absolutely breathtaking. You could see the entire caldera, the town of Fira on the rim, and look down on the tourist ships far below. The hotel was nice and run by two fellows who were very friendly and helpful.
Cons: One minor thing that bothered me initially was that the local town had removed the sign pointing the way to the hotel as part of some roadwork. However, the hotel manager said the sign would be back up the following week.
