Afroessa Hotel by Caldera Houses

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.

The best hotel I have ever stayed. The room is super clean and the views are unmatched. We booked the room with a hot tub and I didn’t even wanted to leave to explore. Staff is amazing and super friendly. I would give more stars if it was possible.

I know we came off season in November but this was a bait & switch. Nothing matched the pictures. No restaurant, pool, or staff or services. We were alone. No hot water first night. Not enough towels, cups, or blankets. Dark at night and no lights. No security at all. Awful. Ripped off because it was very expensive. Yes we had a caldera sunset view and a dirty jacuzzi- but room quality was poor. Stay away!!

Very nice hotel with friendly staff. Very well maintained and very well cleaned every day. Very good breakfast, nice pool, very good views of the Caldera. Highly recommended

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.

Location stupenda, suite con una vista pazzesca. Camera complessivamente pulita, ma presterei più attenzione alla pulizia della jacuzzi. Con un costo così alto della suite io aggiungerei la colazione gratuita inclusa nel prezzo della camera. Comunque ci ritornerei assolutamente.

Easy to get to from the parking and drop off area. The hotel staff and front desk were great and very helpful and most of all the Caldera view from here was amazing. IMO better than Fira and Oia.

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!

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.

The view was amazing! The rooms and pool were clean. The staff were helpful and always nice!

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.

Very nice hotel with friendly staff. Very well maintained and very well cleaned every day. Very good breakfast, nice pool, very good views of the Caldera. Highly recommended

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.

Super lækkert hotel med en helt enestående udsigt. Eneste minus var badeværelset, som trænger til en opgradering.

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.

The view was amazing! The rooms and pool were clean. The staff were helpful and always nice!

Excellent stay! Very welcoming staff and honestly the best sunset view.

Nice and cosy rooms. Staff is super kind and always ready to help. View from the structure will leave you breathless.

Great view and quiet place

The view here at Afroessa is second to none! Better than that, we stayed in peak season and felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. Imerovigli is DEFINITELY the town to stay in when visiting Santorini. Oia is a tourist trap, but we lucked out by staying here. Our host was very welcoming and accommodating and made us feel right at home. The room was a bit cramped for someone tall like me, but you really felt you were getting the authentic Santorini experience. We had our own private balcony overlooking the caldera and felt like royalty when we sat there watching the beautiful sunset. I definitely would recommend this place to anyone looking to travel to Santorini and skip the touristy crowds! This place was a piece of heaven! Oh, and go to Anogi to eat! Quite literally the best food we have ever had, no question!

Excelente servicio por parte de eddie y sus compañeros, muy amables y te ayudan en cualquier cosa ! El lugar está en una zona tranquila y con una vista hermosa

Sunset views are awesome. Accommodations and breakfast are tops. Eddie, John and Maria are great hosts. They help w/ every need and will book transport, cruises, etc. My 2nd time there and will be back for sure.

Amazing views, great service!

It was an incredible stay for our honeymoon and we so dearly want to come back again. The receptionist Edi was great and provided us with whatever we needed as well as a breakdown of top spots to see in the Island. Thank you for the time!

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!

The staff was amazing, they let us know right away where to get drinks with them and also show us to the market.

Excellent Experience. Prime time location. Quiet with incredible views. We would stay there again for sure.

It was amazing! The views were unbeatable, it’s right along the Fira to Oia trail, the staff went above and beyond, free breakfast with certain packages, I’ll definitely be back!

Everyone at this property were very nice to us and very accommodating. I would recommend coming here to stay if you like the peaceful and quiet area of Santorini.

The view on the sea (for sunset and all the time) was spectacular. The pathway between Fira and Oia is super nice and the staff was very kind.

Eddie & John along with the rest of the staff were very attentive to all our needs. Beautiful central location on Santorini with spectacular views. Highly recommend the Greek breakfast there!

Excellent breakfast. Staff were pleasant.

Location stupenda, suite con una vista pazzesca. Camera complessivamente pulita, ma presterei più attenzione alla pulizia della jacuzzi. Con un costo così alto della suite io aggiungerei la colazione gratuita inclusa nel prezzo della camera. Comunque ci ritornerei assolutamente.

I cannot say enough good things about this place! The pictures just barely do it justice- the setting is beautiful, the view of the sunset is world-class, and the simple decorating style works perfectly with that. One of my favorite moments of our stay was just sitting by the pool, sipping local wine and watching the sun ho down. I’ll also add that we had a fantastic breakfast on the terrace, so if you stay here be sure to fit that in before heading out for the day. The room itself was pretty simple but comfortable. We stayed right next to the pool, which mean making a choice between opening the shutters to enjoy the view or having more privacy. But there were no issues with noise from other guests using the pool area, so still a great option. What’s most notable about Afroessa Hotel was how kind and helpful the staff was. From the moment we showed up we felt like VIPs even though I’m pretty sure we were in the cheapest room. They called to get us taxis when we needed them, gave us lots of tips about where to go, and helped us get our luggage up the many steps. I especially want to note that they were very welcoming of us as a same-sex couple. Thank you again for a wonderful experience!
