What guests think

At Heliotopos Hotel, travellers consistently praise the breathtaking caldera and sunset views from Imerovigli, the convenient location between Fira and Oia, and the warm, helpful staff who assist with recommendations, tours, and smooth, welcoming check-ins.

Many guests enjoy homemade breakfasts and the on-site wine bar and restaurant, though a few mention limited breakfast variety or higher prices. Rooms are often spacious, cave-style, and come with balconies or verandas, but some feel dated and report weak water pressure, short hot water, drainage or AC issues, internal stairs, or layouts like beds against a wall. Facilities include a small dipping pool and sweeping terraces; expect many stairs, no elevator, and parking that can take time to find. Best for travelers who value character and setting more than extensive amenities.

Heliotopos was our favorite place we stayed on this trip. Wonderful setting in Imerovigli. Evelina very communicative and helpful with our stay. She gave us a fantastic rundown of all the places we might like to visit during our stay. Sunsets of course wonderful and can enjoy at the wine bar restaurant on site. Someone had a wedding one evening we were there. Can’t think of a more charming location. Loved our room which was nestled in a cave and even had a window into the wall at the back showing the rock’s signature during the eruption. We didn’t use the pool but it looked refreshing. Wonderful breakfast with cappuccino to boot. Can just sit on your balcony all day and soak it in. We look forward to staying there again.

It took us some time to find the hotel in the dark. But the off street parking was convenient. We loved the cave-house settings. The view from our suite to the ocean was incredibly beautiful especially the sunset. The walk in the surrounding area was very pleasant. The hotel staff was friendly. The food was good but pricy. We were charged with extra local tax even though we paid them via Expedia.

From the moment we arrived, the staff were warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive, we were welcomed by Joseph and one of the Eleni’s, the check-in process was seamless and efficient. The hotel has 10 rooms all facing the Caldera and was absolutely stunning. The complimentary breakfast was amazing annd changed everyday, the attention to detail was impressive, from the bar tender and server. But what really made my stay stand out was the exceptional service. Every member of staff we encountered was friendly, helpful, and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. Whether it was recommending local restaurants, providing extra towels, or simply offering a smile and a kind word, the team at Heliotopus hotel truly made me feel at home. Overall, I would highly recommend Heliotopus hotel to anyone looking for an unforgettable stay. The only downside is you need to consider if you are renting a car at least a 15 minutes drive around to find a spot to park at.

This was a nice hotel overlooking the sea. We had a private balcony with 2 level room. We were there during the off season so it was quiet. The staff were really friendly and gave suggestions on what to see during our stay. To note: the tap water is salt water from the sea so bottled water is a must. The power went out a few times in one night and the internet took a while to reboot. The hot water is on demand so takes a few minutes to heat up and doesnt last long (hot showers turned cold after about 5 min). There are no Do Not Disturb signs for the door so the cleaning staff lets themselves in to your room whether you want them to or not (even when youre in the room!) There are many stairs and no elevator. Improvements: more breakfast options are necessary (oat milk, peanut butter, oat meal, fresh bananas, smoothies), raillings should be installed on the stairs in the rooms, more vegan options in the restaurant (vegan cheese, coconut butter, vegan mayo/sauce etc), shower doors should be installed as water was everywhere, loose electrical outlets should be fixed.

Un bon hôtel en général, mais qui a besoin d’un peu d’amour. Tout a l’air un peu fatigué, et la piscine est plus petite qu’elle semble sur les photos. La vue est magnifique toutefois, et le restaurant super pratique comme ils font la livraison aux chambres et que la cuisine n’est pas vraiment fonctionnelle, à part le réfrigérateur. Je recommande de demander une chambre aux étages supérieurs, nous avions la dernière en bas et il y a vraiment plusieurs marches à monter et elle est très loin de la piscine. Le déjeuner est correct et termine à 11h, mais il faut arriver avant 10h30 parce que sinon le personnel n’est pas content et vous le fait sentir! Cela dit, le personnel de la réception était formidable. Bref, une bonne option abordable et propre avec une vue magnifique, mais sans facteur wow.

The location for summertime sunsets was second to none! It was our favourite family activity! Early dinner, then come back to our patio and watch the sunset. We had some issues with a leaky air conditioner, lack of shower pressure and drainage issues in the shower, but besides that we enjoyed our living space. The homemade breakfast was amazing every morning. The dipping pool was great and an excellent chance for us to socialize with other families/tourists as it was a small space so not a lot of people were around. Kudos to their fabulous porter who hauled suitcases like no other!

That was disappointing and took away from an otherwise pleasant stay.

The Heliotopos offers one of the best views of the caldera. It was also one of the few that provided a restaurant as well as options that would accommodate 4 adults. While it was snug for 4 adults it worked out great. We even had a private veranda that let out right on the caldera path. The staff was amazing and extremely helpful and friendly. Heliotopos was an excellent value!! Make sure to book a premium table for dinner at the wine bar and be prepared for the best sunset of your life!!!

The hotel is in the middle (sort of equidistant) from Oia (the main tourist attraction) and the Fira (main town). The bus stop is a 5 minute walk and one can take convenient city bus (air conditioned Mercedes buses) that have a strict schedule. If someone likes to walk (hiking) - there is a special path / route that passes through all these hotels (like an open tunnel) and one can do these trips with scenic ocean view (be mindful of the hot temperature).

Escalier dangereux pour atteindre les lits des enfants en mezzanine ( pas adapté pour de jeunes enfants, minimum 10 ans ) Petit déjeuner très très limité pour le tarif de la chambre ( très peu de choix , qualité médiocre hormis le jus d’orange pressé , présentation lamentable qui ne donne pas envie : barquettes en plastique, pas de viennoiseries , pas de produits locaux ) . Une cuisine dans la chambre mais inutilisable ( dépassée) hormis la vaisselle . Le personnel est correcte sans plus . Vous pouvez ramener de la nourriture et des boissons achetés à l’extérieur sans problème ( nombreuses supérettes et restaurants aux environs ) L’hôtel a un bar en roof top .

Very friendly and hospitable service. The breakfast needs special mention as it was freshly made and was very enjoyable. The sunset view from the hotel is the best in the entire town (see pictures attached). The hotel is in the middle (sort of equidistant) from Oia (the main tourist attraction) and the Fira (main town). The bus stop is a 5 minute walk and one can take convenient city bus (air conditioned Mercedes buses) that have a strict schedule. If someone likes to walk (hiking) - there is a special path / route that passes through all these hotels (like an open tunnel) and one can do these trips with scenic ocean view (be mindful of the hot temperature).

Un bon hôtel en général, mais qui a besoin d’un peu d’amour. Tout a l’air un peu fatigué, et la piscine est plus petite qu’elle semble sur les photos. La vue est magnifique toutefois, et le restaurant super pratique comme ils font la livraison aux chambres et que la cuisine n’est pas vraiment fonctionnelle, à part le réfrigérateur. Je recommande de demander une chambre aux étages supérieurs, nous avions la dernière en bas et il y a vraiment plusieurs marches à monter et elle est très loin de la piscine. Le déjeuner est correct et termine à 11h, mais il faut arriver avant 10h30 parce que sinon le personnel n’est pas content et vous le fait sentir! Cela dit, le personnel de la réception était formidable. Bref, une bonne option abordable et propre avec une vue magnifique, mais sans facteur wow.

The location for summertime sunsets was second to none! It was our favourite family activity! Early dinner, then come back to our patio and watch the sunset. We had some issues with a leaky air conditioner, lack of shower pressure and drainage issues in the shower, but besides that we enjoyed our living space. The homemade breakfast was amazing every morning. The dipping pool was great and an excellent chance for us to socialize with other families/tourists as it was a small space so not a lot of people were around. Kudos to their fabulous porter who hauled suitcases like no other!
