Santolia Art Suites

This place was such a treat to stay at. Located just a few minutes walk to where it all happens! Views are obviously breath taking. Going in May is much quieter than peak although expect tourists and it got fairly windy at points throughout the day, particularly in the evenings. The villa was high quality and modern, decorated beautifully and the comfiest bed. We had our own private jacuzzi which you could watch the sunset from. Breakfast was included and was amazing, brought to your terrace every morning. Fantastic host, very responsive and offered discounted rate if we returned. I would say you would only need a few days there unless you hire quads to explore the rest of the island. We visited a vineyard for a wine tasting experience which I would highly recommend. Best for luxury and location. Stunning!

We did a lot of research into hotels before we booked Santolia Art Suites in Oia for a long break. We decided on Santolia Art Suites as so many had said that you were able to step away from the crowds but step in so easily. And how right the reviews were. Literally five minutes walk to the main square and then five minutes walk back to the tranquility and peace of our room and terrace. Alexandre and his team were so helpful and any request was responded to immediately (more coffee!!). The room was really lovely but the outside space with jacuzzi and plunge pool was why we were there. Watching the sunset, without any crowds with a drink in hand in our jacuzzi will be a memory forever. Breakfast was a delight and set us up for very chilled days. Five out of five. We loved it.

Amazing accomodation. Incredible view with both a private pool and spa. Room was spacious as was the shower as well as being aesthetically pleasing. Aircon worked great which was a plus considering how hot it got during the day. Perfect location. During our time in Oia we found that the main town area was absolutely choccas full of people and those who stayed in the main town were constantly flooded with people around them, not to mention having to lug their luggage up stairs, through narrow alley ways and crowds of people. Our accomodation was located just out of town, secluded for the most part and away from all the crowds yet only 200m walk and you’re back in the town of Oia. After seeing the other accomodation options, as nice as they were we were so grateful ours was located where it is and would highly recommend based on this alone. The only downfall which is a little misleading in photos online is that the accomodation isn’t totally isolated, the view just over the pool is a small footpath (rarely used) and then down onto a driveway for the rest of the accomodation area. It didn’t effect us at all nor impacted the incredible view but was something we realised upon seeing it in real life. Breakfast every morning was very generous with bread, crossiants, pastries, jams, spreads, boiled eggs, coffee pods, fresh orange juice, fresh fruit and yoghurt. All of which was delicious and we never left feeling unsatisfied. Staff were very efficient and attentive, if we requested something it was brought over within minutes and at no extra charge (milk, extra coffee pods etc.) A complimentary bottle of wine was available on arrival aswell! Overall highly highly recommend. Location, service, facilities, everything perfect. We spent a lot of time at the accomodation just because it was so good.

We had a fantastic stay at Santolia Art Suites! Alex was really helpful and contacted to let us know our room was ready and showed us where everything was. We stayed in a deluxe suite and it was spotless, breakfast was great and the view is as good as it looks in the photos. The location is great, an amazing sunset view and away from the crowds of Oia. We got engaged in the hot tub watching the sun go down and it felt very private. We had such a good experience and our only regret was not booking longer than one night! I have recommended to friends and family and would love to come back again.

Perfect accommodation & location. Spacious accommodation, very private, private pool & jacuzzi were definitely highlights. Amazing unspoilt sunset view. Delicious breakfast served to your patio every morning with lots of variety. Very accommodating & helpful host. 2 minutes walk into oia. We had a very relaxing week here we didn’t want to leave would highly recommend & wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

Nous avons passé une nuit dans cette belle suite à la décoration moderne et efficace et qui offre une piscine et un jacuzzi privés à un prix élevé mais inférieur à ce qui se pratique ailleurs à Oia. L’endroit ne se trouve pas sur la caldeira mais à cinq minutes à pied du centre et il n’y a pas de meilleur endroit pour voir le sunset : la vue dégagée est magnifique, aux premières loges !

Réserve depuis février 2023 avec option annulation jusqu’au 9 Aout jour du paiement total soit 1144€ deux nuits .. nous étions impatient.. malheureusement le bateau n a pu partir en raison de la météo et donc bloquer a Heraklion.. nous avons dû annuler pour cas de force majeure. L hôtelier n a rie voulu entendre, ni remboursement ni avoir … malgré l intervention de Booking pour un dédommagement celui ci a refusé… donc faite Attention !! Aucun effort.. écœurant !!
