The Greek island of Santorini is a blissful spot for a getaway, and its capital, Fira, is a vision of dramatic cliffs and pristine whitewashed buildings. The Archaeological Museum contains Minoan artifacts from Fira’s ancient foundations, while several churches and monasteries offer a glimpse into the historical and contemporary religious make up of this beautiful village. Exploring the shops and cafes along Fira’s narrow footpaths is a leisurely way to spend an afternoon.

Asma Suites offers free WiFi and elegantly furnished suites with a private hot tub, all in Fira on the Island of Santorini.Asma Suites offers free transfer from airport or port. The team of Asma Suites will do their best to make you FEEL LIKE HOME! This property is 3 km from the Exo Gialos beach. It is located next to the famous Agios Minas church on the caldera cliff.
Amazing experience, 6 nights/ days were picture perfect experience from start to finish. The views are hypnotizing. Its difficult to motivate off the balcony as the views from the room could be a postcard and are hard to replicate. The location is tranquil and quiet yet close by to everything Fira has to offer. The restaurant recommendations from Maria were spot on and we were convinced that because she booked our reservations we got extra special treatment, great tables in the hottest restaurants with warm greetings and exceptional service. The hospitality at Asma is perfect, we loved the expresso maker & so without asking they overstocked our supplies so we were never without. Breakfast everyday delivered to the patio seats with such a warm hello started everyday off great. The experience is heavenly. Hot tub was spotless and clean. Santorini is a magical experience and Asma is an example of 5 star hospitality perfected by the whole team. Only wish is we could’ve stayed forever.

What a gem this place is. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff. The champagne breakfast on our patio was just wonderful. The rooms are all different , we stayed in Emerald suite and were truly sorry to have to leave. The views from each suite is impressive.

Spurred by love for this magical land we are lucky to call home, we set about with creating a premium hospitality unit with the discerning traveler in mind. Our island’s one of a kind volcanic soil -and soul was- fueled our imagination; and gave us abundant inspiration. LimeStone Santorini Cave Suites was thus born. With ample respect to the local vernacular architecture and surrounding environment, a typical 1925 building/mansion with yposkafa (Santorini’s characteristic bioclimatic structures which are excavated into the rock), was artfully transformed into a modern day, sophisticated collection of suites, offering the ultimate in comfort and indulgence: Complete mind, body and spirit rejuvenation; total indulgence of the five senses; a celebration of the good life. For here haute aesthetics, state of the art amenities and the latest conveniences, are seamlessly blended with premium, tailor made services, the most capable and convivial staff; and a distinct home
Stayed for 3N in 2 of their rooms. The place was simply beautiful and amazing. Santorini is sooo beautiful and so is Limestone! Walking distance to Fira bus station which is the main bus hub. So the location is ideal too. Always felt so safe even returning late at night. Thrasos was soooo hospitable. So were all the staff! Breakfast was delicious and the daily views are tranquil and sooo therapeutic! HIghly recommend this to anyone who is looking for an accommodation with a view, yet private, yet centrally located. Hopefully able to revisit and stay again this lifetime! :)

The view-endless blue of the Aegean Sea and the magical colors of the sunsets spreading around the most famous caldera in the world, Santorini Mesotopos combines the freshness of the unique Aegean breeze, with a Traditional yet Modern way of life. Behind the domes of the apartments, the human eye can see the horizon where the sea meets the sky and becomes one and the clouds resemble small boats that have been released on the gentle sea air. Enjoying all the comforts that can be offered by a modern hotel accommodation, the guest has the opportunity to feel a unique experience combined with every need of the modern visitor. Breaking down the meaning of the world Mesotopos, a secret message states the position on a geographical map on the island and gives you the opportunity to gaze at the port or the airport at a distance of just 10 minutes, as you can find it at the entrance to Fira the capital of Santorini. But, before your tourist adventure a dip in the refreshing pool and Jacuzzi with dose of relaxation in front of the endless view, could react in a positive way in collecting positive vibes of energy require during your vacation. Mesotopos could be referred to as a must to the tourist explorers who, upon a simple tourists map can plan a full tourist experience.
We stayed here in May 2022 and based on a) the cost and b) the fact we booked the honeymoon suite, my wife and I were so very disappointed. Despite the staff being very friendly there was lots to complain about: 1. Room: the honeymoon suite was big but very dark internally, because it's situated on the ground floor so you had to keep the 'curtains' drawn the entire time. Having said that, the curtains didn't fully cover the windows so were completely ineffective at keeping the light out in the mornings, meaning the room got pretty much fully light as soon as the sun rose (which is very early in the summer months!) There was no bin in the main room, our towels didn't get cleaned every day and were also quite old, the TV did not work, air con was not great, and it felt more like we were put aside rather than staying in a premier room. The bed was quite uncomfortable and the pillows rock hard. There is a kind-of kitchenette with a fridge, a sink and some plates, but no provisions to wash anything up, and no bowls for us to eat the cereal we bought from the local supermarket. It made us want to spend as much time away from the hotel as possible the whole time we were there. We were only provided with shampoo/shower gel (all in one), nothing else like conditioner or body lotion. The shower gel wasn't great, and when we'd used it all up we had to ask in reception for more. 2. Laundry. We needed to do some laundry while there. This cost 12 euros per load - we were expecting some cost but this seemed like a lot 3. Taxi: Unless you are very abled, you will need a taxi to get to and from Fira in the evenings as it's a 40-min walk. They booked us one for 15 euro but this was a private car - not a taxi - who guilted us into giving a tip as well, for a journey that is 4 minutes by car. Book a taxi yourselves. We were furious. 4. The pictures implied you got a bath and bathrobes in the honeymoon suite...you do not. The only notion of this room being a 'honeymoon' suite was some white ribbon hanging off the clothes hangers. Despite this there was some upsides: 1. Friendly staff 2. Location. Whilst it is NOT in Fira, rather a 40 min walk away, it is a good location for those who do not mind a walking as the sun set views are incredible if you walk outside the complex on an evening stroll to Fira. Note: you will need a car if you want to see more of the island (which we did). Overall, we were very disappointed and cannot endorse this hotel. It was incredibly expensive for what we received.

Ideally located in the heart of Fira, the picturesque and cosmopolitan capital of Santorini, Winery Hotel 1870 invites you to experience the authentic Cycladic life infused with the evocative atmosphere of the surrounding volcanic landscape. Taking your holidays in Santorini a step further, Winery Hotel 1870 suggests a whole new model of accommodation.
We have just returned from staying seven nights at the Winery Hotel. Its located in the heart of Fira with easy access to all local attractions. The rooms are all unique, having originally been a working winery. The staff work extremely hard to keep the hotel spotlessly clean and rooms stocked with toiletries, pods for the Nespresso machine and clean linen and towels. An extensive breakfast is provided daily. We unfortunately had a problem with the breakfast over a couple of days, this was nothing to do with the hotel but they went out of their way to correct things. All the staff are friendly and very approachable but I have to give a big thank you particularly to Katai, the day manager, for all her help and kindness during our stay, she made our trip very special.

Altea apartments are located in the center of Fira, Santorini and it is an excellent choice for those who want to stay in the cosmopolitan center of Santorini. Altea Apartments are recently renovated in order to offer you the best and more comfortable accommodation in Fira, Santorini.
We visited Santorini during 3 days this August and stayed two nights in Altea Apartments. We are a family with 3 children. Altea Hotel is very conveniently located. Walking distance from Thera and its amazing view, from the bus station (you can visit the whole Island from there) and from a bakery and shops. But I would say that the best from Altea is the management. They take care of everything, instantly reply to your messages and provide a lot of useful information about Santorini. The apartment is very big, even being 5 we had a lot of space. I definitely recommend Altea Apartments.
