Great hotel with excellent views. The location is very chill, there is not much to do in the town. You would have to go to Fira or Oia if you want more things to do and see. Other than that, it is a very nice romantic getaway

Amazing hotel with everything you need in a most breathtaking location. We loved everything from the communication with the staff before and during our stay. We had the half board option which was convenient for us after a long day of travel and it was so nice sitting out for our breakfast as well. Selections were more than enough and the staff was great! Some days you have to pinch yourself when you walk out and see the views. The only thing we had to worry about was the hike down the many steps when it was raining but we managed to figure it out. One of the best parts was the location which was convenient for everything. Would most definitely recommend this hotel!
