“Really good hotel”

Good services, good hospitality, great view, would definitely recommend to others got breakfast served outside everyday! George is a very nice man and was very helpful and was always available to do any challenge

Ikastikies suites is hands down the place to be staying at when visiting Santorini! This place is impeccable - we had delicious breakfast every morning at 9 AM, gorgeous views to marvel at without anyone looking over from the street, quiet evenings to ourselves (since it’s only 4 suites), and excellent customer service! I saw someone else in the reviews mentioning lots of stairs - that’s the entire Santorini! Plus, Giorgos carried our luggage up and down the stairs, which was very kind of him! Giorgos also stored our luggage when our flight got changed and we then had to fly out later. My partner and I will definitely be coming back and staying here again!

“Great location and beautiful accommodation”

A superb choice on all fronts, especially for a first visit to Santorini. Perfect location. Far enough from Thira to feel a distance and quiet on an evening yet only a 10-15 minute walk back down into the centre of it all. The views were stunning, sunsets spectacular all with your own private view… more

A superb choice on all fronts, especially for a first visit to Santorini. Perfect location. Far enough from Thira to feel a distance and quiet on an evening yet only a 10-15 minute walk back down into the centre of it all. The views were stunning, sunsets spectacular all with your own private viewing. The suite was beautiful, with lovely rustic furniture and a modern style, fresh and cool inside without any air conditioning, the caves keep you cool. My bed was just perfect, soft and easy to sleep in, we stayed in the Spilia Suite with two bedrooms. Only one bedroom has a standing shower, the other has a hot tub with shower hose. George, the owner was the perfect host, always asking us to let him help us with anything we needed, and he seemed to genuinely want to do things to help which was heartfelt and appreciated. You will sample some of his own wine from a vineyard where he has a section for himself....the wine was high quality, pure and organic. The housekeeping staff were lovely too, always smiling and welcoming. George can arrange for an airport pick up for you, just message the hotel to let them know, we were charged 50 euros for this transfer. The pool in this suite is very deep, definitely not ideal if you're not a confident swimmer though I think George said has had taught someone to swim in it. Breakfasts are delivered to you before 10am at a time to suite you, the staff are quite flexible with this, including eggs.ham.cheese/pastries/bread/ very small pieces of chopped fruit/juices. If you want tea/coffee, these are in your room with a kettle. There are lots of plug sockets, a speaker system in the lounge area, cutlery/plates/glasses etc

Great location with very nice caldera views, but be aware that there are a lot of steep stairs to climb. Service was the minimum you would expect, particularly on arrival, very friendly hotel manager who did an impressive job carrying luggage up and down all the stairs, and the accommodation was clean and nicely decorated. The umbrellas are not strong enough to left open if its a little breezy since the owner will come and close them. The hotel-arranged airport transfer was nearly £50 and the driver was extremely unfriendly, non-communicative and quite frankly not someone you would want giving your guests a first impression of Santorini and your hotel. This driver exchanged no greeting and rushed off to her car making us struggle to keep up, made us walk in intense hot sun along a busy unsafe road that was hard to wheel luggage over and then weave through numerous parked cars with heavy luggage instead of bringing the car to us, unbeleivable. Once we were inside the car she turned her music up for the journey. Given that this was part of the service facilitated by the hotel, I have reflected this in the overall service rating. Santorini has more affordably priced accommodation than this hotel, Ikastikies is priced higher that you need to pay. Breakfasts were pleasant enough but somewhat repetitive with some items and they don't ask you what you would like )i.e. if you want eggs and how you would like them done). It isn't a buffet breakfast so you pretty much get what you're given, bearing in mind the high price you pay per night this aspect should be better. The pool is very deep with no shallow end, this wasn't mentioned in the listing and quite unusual for a pool. It is not ideal for a lot of people and certainly not suitable if you have young children.
