Ayoba Santorini

Great location with easy access to sunset, market and anywhere on the island. Be ready to buy bottled water (this is all Santorini), so being close to market is ideal! Market is open 7:30am-11pm! Very basic accommodations. * Great shampoo and body wash but no conditioner or moisturizer. * Shower has limited hot water. * Room is modern and clean but basic. * Needed an extra pillow for shoulder issue but couldn’t get it. *Asked for extra towel as alternative and it disappeared after one day! * bed is very firm. After 3 nights go used to it. * great AC and comforter. * received 4 empty boxes of vanity set and shower cap. Requested replacement on first night and still have not received it on check-in am! If you book a studio, request NOT to get studio #1 if you need it dark. The window shades are NOT effective and the light comes in very strongly so as soon as sunrises the room is very bright. I had to wear an eye mask to sleep in! Plunge pool is cold so perfect if you come back when sun is out.

Very different. Much nicer than I had expected based on some of the reviews. The concierge was very helpful, printed bus schedules for us and even offered to walk us to the bus stop! Is located at the top of the caldera so no long staircases to get to your room.

Three units are surrounding the “courtyard” which is also where the main office is. So people coming and going for check in and check out are literally outside of our windows. Interior is super old and outdated. The whole unit smelled heavily of cleaning detergent but nothing is clean. Toilets are old and yellow. We found mold on the shower wall. Kitchen smells like rotten wood.

Had an absolutely wonderful time in Imerovigli at Ayoba! Such a perfect location to be able to reach everything on the island, and such a quiet, relaxing, and lovely place to stay. Breakfast was a real highlight, so tasty! And everyone working there was incredibly helpful and friendly. They were super accommodating with my weird arrival and departure times, and helped me plan out activities during my stay. Cannot recommend enough!

Me and my partner stayed here for a week and it was so lovely. The staff are so friendly and helpful, they couldn’t do more for us. We enjoyed staying in imerovigli because it is much quieter than Oia and Fira but still has the same amazing views and restaurants to offer. Vigla and Mama Lina were our favourites. We used the local buses to travel around the island. It was only €1.60 each so it was a cheap way to travel. The beaches are too far away to walk but are easily accessible by bus. The breakfast provided was delicious and there was a fridge and microwave in our studio apartment that we could use to make our other meals if we wished. A minor downside was that me or my partner didn’t get any service in the room. It didn’t really matter to us as we weren’t using our phones to make calls but just be aware if that would be an issue for you. Overall it was a brilliant place to stay and if were to return to Santorini in the future this would be the first place we check availability for.
