Hotels with Bars in Finikia

Good location, about 10 minutes walk to the city centre. To the Blue Roof Church (the church here is basically the Blue Roof, the Google map is marked in Fira, but I think Oia will look better, the picture is below) and the bus station is about 15 minutes walk. In winter, Oia will open fewer restaurants and supermarkets, many of which are not open, but it is more convenient to take pictures with fewer people (the night view is not as good as the summer, because non-operating hotels do not turn on the lights at night). Breakfast was average and not very tasty. We upgraded to the top-floor suite when we checked in. The scenery is particularly good. You can see the sea of love and a whole white cave room on the right. The sunrise and sunset are very beautiful (Sunset is the best known sunset. Those who do n’t like walking can see it in the hotel, and it is also very beautiful. I recommend that viewpoint to see it the next morning.)

Set in Oia, 5 km from Cape Columbo Beach, Mr and Mrs White Santorini provides air-conditioned rooms and a bar. Featuring room service, this property also provides guests with a terrace. The hotel offers sea views, an outdoor pool and a 24-hour front desk.The hotel is a family friendly property The units at the hotel come with a seating area and a flat-screen TV.

The hotel also has a restaurant called Atlantida. Naval Museum of Oia is 1.9 km from the accommodation. The nearest airport is Santorini International Airport, 15 km from Mr and Mrs White Santorini.

This was the perfect place for us. We like quiet, not crowds, and yet I wanted to enjoy the beauty of Oia. This was the perfect solution - close enough to walk to Oia, yet completely peaceful and private. It often felt like we were the only people on the property even though it was fully booked. Instead of battling the crowds to see the sun set, we enjoyed it from our plunge pool, a little oasis. Breakfast was delicious, made to order with so many options we got carried away on the first morning and ended up with way too much food. The staff go above and beyond, offering tips and advice and accommodating changes in plans with a smile - even when we arrived a day late due to a missed connecting flight. We rented a car and parked it in the little reserved lot at the top of the path. We walked to Oia early in the morning to enjoy the views without the people and then left for another part of the island once the crowds arrived. An amazing stay!

I deliberated for a while with regard to the rating that I should apply to the Nostos Apartments. The setting is stunning and the apartments have all of the raw materials to be a 5 rated location. But when rating a hotel it should not only be about the location but also with regard to service, cleanliness etc and this is where I felt Nostos fell down. The main pool on arrival was filled with bugs, not just a few but 100s. I am not worried about bugs at all but I really do not feel a luxury hotel should have a dirty pool. I am talking so many bugs that it was obvious the pool had not been cleaned for some time, think if you leave a paddling pool in the garden for a week and do not clean it, this is how many bugs there were. I spoke to the two people in reception and I was told “yeah we get a lot of bugs here but I will get someone to clean it straight away”. 30 minutes passed and nothing, no one had even come to take a look, so I went to speak to reception again, this time they said they would get someone straight away (what had they been doing for the past 30 minutes?). Over an hour after my initial request someone came to clean the pool. I had asked to speak to the manager and eventually he came to speak to me, he said he would investigate and get back to me. I told him if he really does have a bug problem to have someone clean the pool every hour, it’s a small hotel and small pool. The next day the pool was still full of bugs (not as many as before), the manager when passing me by reception asked if the pool was now cleaner. It’s a small hotel, if someone had made this complaint why on earth had he not checked it (by this time it was 1PM). I said no it was still bad and I asked if I could have the net and I would clean it myself. This to his credit shamed him into action and I saw him clean it, and guess what the pool was then clean for the rest of the holiday. But should I honestly have had to be on at them for 24 hours to get this done! On my return I then noticed someone had also complained of a dirty pool from the week before us via another forum, honestly just not good enough. Other things to note are that there is no pool service (there is enough staff to offer pool service at least once an hour but they instead have 2 people sitting in reception and one in the breakfast room). Breakfast is OK but eggs were always cold when delivered. The rooms and views are lovely, I suggest getting your own hot tub with the room and thinking of this as more a Air BnB and you will be more than happy. The cleaners and the guys who take your luggage up and down the steps are very good. With better management this place could be amazing.
