Mountain View Hotels in Santorini

A very, very good hotel! The driver who picked us up at the airport sent us to the location in Figure 1. The car can only drive here. The hotel owner came to pick us up in person. I guess the driver contacted the hotel owner after seeing the hotel we were going to, so he came to pick us up in advance. He helped us carry our luggage. We had to go up a few steps. It would be very difficult to carry the luggage without him. I wanted to give him a tip, but he didn't want it. After checking in, he asked us to fill in the breakfast dishes for tomorrow. Then he took out a tourist map and told us where the various attractions were and how long it would take to walk. He also took out a book to show us pictures of the ancient monuments. This honeymoon suite has a double bed and a sofa. The sofa is very wide. The sofa I slept on was as comfortable as the bed. The view from the balcony is beautiful!!! The water in the balcony bathtub is circulated day and night, warm, and my son didn't want to come out when swimming in it. In the morning, someone put breakfast on the balcony, set it up, and called us. It's amazing to eat breakfast while watching the sea view! It takes 20 minutes to walk to the blue-domed church in the town of Fira. I don't know how to take the bus. There are many black taxis in Fira town. It costs 30 euros for us to take a taxi to the black beach. You have to eat seafood in Santorini. This fresh seafood is completely different from the live shrimps bought in China! Their seafood has the freshness of the sea! However, standing on the hotel balcony to the left, you can see an open-air restaurant, which is actually a bar. Don't eat there. We waited for more than an hour before the food was served, and three dishes cost 92 euros, which was expensive and unpalatable. After we checked out, someone came to pick us up at the airport. But we didn't know where to wait, so the hotel owner personally took us to the location in the first picture. He was so nice! I took a photo as a souvenir, the second picture. I really recommend this restaurant!

We really enjoyed our time at Venus Sunrise, the hospitality in particular and Cindy were absolutely fantastic. We organised an airport transfer which is approximately the same price as the a taxi which I recommend. The hotel runs daily free shuttles to Fira the capital and the concierge (Cindy) makes sure everything runs smoothly and you get to pick and tailor your breakfast every single day which is some of the best free breakfast I’ve ever had. Incredibly relaxing for a short trip.

The breakfast was great, the room was very good, the location was not bad, the hotel's own meals were also ok, the attitude was also very good, recommended! The hotel's infinity pool is very good, it is recommended to be acceptable from June to August.

The suite was spotless as there is cleaning done everyday, just like what you would expect in a hotel. The service was 5-star quality where Chrysa helped us with almost everything we needed, from booking of transfer to even adjusting the temperature of our personal pool late at night. The venue is near the airport and not at the touristy places like Oia or Fira, as such it was reasonably priced for what it offers. If you are booking tours, you can get the providers to pick or drop you at Kalisperis Hotel which is 2-3 min walk away. There is a full kitchen and toiletries set so you get the best of living in a hotel and apartment.

Love it. Said it’s a two stars hotel but actually all the facilities and services are in 4 stars level. They got a bar near the pool (you will get a welcoming drink there which is so tasty) and multiple types of rooms. They also got a long hour front desk and shuttle service etc… The room is very cozy and large, and got everything you need even with a kitchen in my apartment. The AC is very enough and comfortable. We were celebrating our anniversary with Blue Waves and they got a very very romantic and nice decoration which allow us to have an even better experience with them! We love it so much and spent a very wonderful night with Blue Waves!

Excellent service, stunning views, very pretty hotel, highly recommended! The most handsome manager contacted us before our arrival to arrange a pick-up service. When we landed at the airport, George the driver was already waiting for us with a name sign — so convenient and stress-free. He drove us to the nearest drop-off point near McDonald's, and from there, handsome manager and Edward the porter was already there waiting for us. it was just a 5-minute walk to the hotel. Edward helped carry our luggage from the roadside all the way to the room, and did the same when we checked out. Such thoughtful service! During check in, handsome manager was incredibly attentive and thoughtful, taking the time to explain the nearby attractions and facilities in detail. It was clear that he genuinely cares about his guests. Our room was on the higher floor of the building, offering exceptional privacy. The space was absolutely beautiful — a two-level unit with a breathtaking view of the caldera and the volcano island. The hot tub was a highlight. The water was wonderfully warm, and since March was a bit chilly, soaking in the tub became the most relaxing part of each day. We spent hours in there, enjoying the panoramic volcano view — absolutely perfect. The unit itself was spacious and well-equipped with everything we needed. The toiletries — shampoo, body lotion, and so on — were from a lovely brand with such a rich, elegant fragrance. As soon as we walked into the room, we were greeted by that beautiful scent. It felt fresh, special, and incredibly romantic. Breakfast was served with a sheet where you could tick your choices, and you could select different items each day — a lovely touch. The breakfast itself was generous and delicious. The hotel is run by a small, dedicated team. The same gentleman Mr Edward who helped carry our luggage also took care of breakfast, room maintenance,, and more. Everyone we met was always smiling, warm, and genuinely welcoming. Their hospitality made our stay truly special — honestly one of the very best experiences I've ever had. As for the stairs — yes, there are some steps to reach the hotel, but this is Santorini. If you're expecting a flat walk everywhere, this probably isn't the right island for you. In the context of Santorini, the stairs here are absolutely nothing to worry about. The location is actually very convenient — you can walk along the cliffside path or head down to the old port, and take the cable car back up, which is fun and easy. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Santorini.

Very friendly hotel staff and the porters were super helpful in bringing our lugggaes to our room. There are a lot of steps so need to be prepared but the room was spectacular over looking the caldera. Can have in room breakfast where they will deliver it to your room and you can eat it outdoors over looking the caldera. The pool area was nice compared to the hotels nearby. Walk to Fira town was about 15 to 20 min.

At first we enjoyed staying at the suite as it has a great view and a private location. It is also next to the Castle of Oia. However they arranged rather expensive transfers at 70 euros for transfer to the port and 60 euros for transfer to the airport. We managed to find much cheaper transfers online. By this we are talking about 20 euros cheaper per trip. We had to share a cab with other people for their expensive transfer, whereas we managed to arrange a private car online. What was the last straw was that the staff never delivered breakfast by the requested time over the course of our 4-night stay. When we asked for breakfast at 8, breakfast came at 8.30 even they knew we had a flight to catch and we had scheduled checkout at 8:50. What frustrated us the most is that, when we told them that breakfast was late, they started giving excuses like there are other customers who had early checkouts and requested breakfast early. It shows that they have prioritised other customers over us, without explaining why. They tried arguing and giving excuses before even performing their service or apologising. I hesitate to call this customer service. The least they could do was to apologise at first opportunity and make up for it, but this did not happen. What's worse? We paid more than 500 euros per night! So think twice before you book this place.

The hotel is in a very central location, less than 10 minutes walk to the Fira station, a supermarket, many restaurants and shops. The hotel staff was kind and attentive. My room was small but I didn’t mind because I was a solo travel. The bathroom was small especially the shower even for a small person. The facilities were fine, no toothbrush supplied. The only issue that I had was that I had booked the hotel through trip.com and the communication about how to get the room card wasn’t reached to me before my arrival (after 3pm)and the hotel didn’t have reception after 12pm, so I emailed the hotel and the problem was resolved quickly. I really enjoyed my time there and recommend people to stay for the convenience.

We’ve just returned from a truly perfect 9-night stay at Katikies Santorini and already wish we were back. From start to finish, everything was faultless. Sofia and the entire team were absolutely brilliant – genuinely warm, attentive without ever being overbearing, and always going the extra mile to make our stay special. The hotel itself is immaculate, beautifully kept, and the views are simply incredible – one of those places that really does live up to the photos (if not exceed them). Waking up to that caldera view each morning never got old. Breakfast was absolutely amazing - one the best! We also found that most guests tend to stay just a night or two and move on quite quickly. Having spent nine nights here, I’d honestly recommend staying at least a week, if not longer, to properly take it all in. It’s one of those places that isn’t meant to be rushed – the pace, the views, the atmosphere all deserve a bit more time. Being among the few guests staying longer really allowed us to appreciate it fully, and it made the whole experience feel that much more special. It’s rare to find somewhere that gets every detail right, but Katikies really does. We felt completely looked after throughout and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it. A very special place – we’ll definitely be returning.
