Lovely!

A lovely boutique hotel in an amazing setting. It has a cosy and laid-back vibe. Our room was great - large, simply but adequately furnished, with a private terrace to enjoy that view and sunset! Breakfasts were good, Eddy and the team were great. The pool is larger than most, and rarely busy. Location is quiet but close to the village centre. Highly recommended.

8/10 Very good

Unbelievable view from the property, it will take your breath away and great quiet area in between Fira and Oia. Easy access to Fira and Oia from there, especially if you want to hike the path between. Plenty of restaurants and markets and coffee within easy walk. Pool area was great. You are really paying for the view, exterior, location here. The rooms themselves were dated, but comfortable, and not many amenities. Wi-fi was great.

Excellent

A really lovely hotel with excellent service. It was our second time at Afroessa and it was superb. The views are stunning and everyone at the hotel were very helpful. It’s well located slightly outside of the busy Fira but very walkable along a coastal path (the return journey is uphill!). The pool area is really nice and with only 12 rooms it felt peaceful too. Recommended.

10/10 Exceptional

We had a wonderful view from our room. It seemed all rooms faced to the west for sunset views. The water was not drinkable in the room, but several SuperMarts were nearby to buy water, snacks,and necessities. Be aware that the walking paths are steep in places with many stairs. Vehicles cannot reach the hotel, and the nearest point for pick up and drop off is about 100 meters. The hotel staff was awaiting our arrival and assisted with carrying my wife's bag to the room. Breakfast was not included, but there was a Nespresso machine in the room and breakfast was available for purchase. We did not try it and instead walked to Crown's for an excellent salmon bagel and coffee. Leave your high heels in your bag and wear sensible walking shoes if you plan to go out of the hotel.

Magical

Everything about my stay at Afroessa in Imerovigli was absolutely magical, and perfect location. From setting up airport transfer and prompt pick up upon arrival by Tani went off without a hitch. I got to the hotel and had to walk a little to get to the hotel, the view was absolutely stunning. Eddie greeted me, carried my bags to reception, and checked me in. I asked for an upgrade with a jacuzzi which Elena and Eddie helped me with for 3 days of my stay, absolutely worth it. Juliano was super helpful getting my bags to the new room. Gwen and her sister the housekeepers checked in to see if I needed anything and were super helpful the whole stay. By the time I left here I felt like I’ve gained some new friends at Afroessa. Thank you all again for the wonderful customer service - Tani, Eddie, Juliano, Gwen & Sister, and Elena. Can’t wait to come back!

This hotel was a dream! Super friendly and helpful staff, arranging transportation and helping with our bags down all the stairs. The breakfast was delicious and cocktails by the pool were great. It was our honeymoon and we were upgraded to the honeymoon suite, which was private, had a large hot tub/balcony and the most amazing views of the caldera! I’m so glad we stayed in Imerovigli because it was quieter and less touristy feeling than the main towns in Santorini, it also has the most amazing views of the caldera and sunset. Restaurants and some shopping in the area were still great. We watched the sunset every night from our balcony and it was so peaceful. The pool was lovely to cool down in and gets sun most of the day. The pictures just don’t do the views justice - you really have to see it in person. I loved this hotel because it was just on the outskirts of town so it was quiet and peaceful but beautiful , had everything you need and still easy access to the main towns - we did day trips into Fira and Oia and that’s really all you need. If I’m ever in Santorini again, I would definitely have another stay here!

2/10 Poor

We texted our arrival time and were expected. Walked down a dark path - no signs nothing. Eventually someone came out of a property we had gone into and said we were in the right place. Bait and switch. Nothing resembling the description or photos. No services at all. No hot water day 1 but they came and fixed that after we texted. The “outside” of our room was fine - great views and lukewarm jacuzzi. Inside not so good. Cheaply furnished. Not well equipped. No robes, insufficient towels and blankets. Poor security. When the wind blew dust came into the room. Lousy bathroom. Fixtures wobbled and poor water pressure. I’m sure there are many better choices and certainly at almost $400 night much better. Highly do NOT recommend.
Debi, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Our recent stay at Hotel Afroessa in Santorini was overall a delightful experience, with a few minor quirks. From the moment we arrived, the service was welcoming. A porter greeted us at the drop-off point and kindly carried our bags down the hill to the hotel, as it is perched on an incline. The general manager, Ed, personally welcomed us, which was a nice touch. He was friendly and professional, showing us to our room and explaining the hotel’s policies. The room itself was fine, though it wasn’t quite what we had expected. While it was comfortable and met most of our needs, the one drawback was the shower. It didn’t have an overhead stand, so we had to hold the showerhead while bathing, which sometimes caused water to splash around. Despite this minor inconvenience, our overall stay was enjoyable. Ed also took the time to suggest various activities we could participate in during our vacation, which was helpful. The hotel’s location offered stunning views, and the atmosphere was peaceful, making for a relaxing stay. One memorable highlight was the warm and friendly staff. We were particularly happy to connect with two wonderful ladies from Cameroon who work there as caretakers—meeting fellow compatriots from the motherland was a lovely surprise. In conclusion, Hotel Afroessa offers a lovely experience with personable service, even if the room facilities could use a small upgrade. It’s definitely worth a visit if you’re looking for a cozy, welcoming place in Santorini.
