We had originally planned on a holiday at the Sea Captain's House two years ago; but because of my husband's health issues; we were not able to go until this year. This is absolutely the very best place to stay ( for the price, amenities, location in the village itself--all things considered) in the village of Oia !! The central... more

I’m sure they hear this all the time, but I first heard of this property from the Giada in Paradise Santorini special on the Food Network in 2007. This is where she stayed while on the island, so I kept the name in my files. I knew I wanted to stay in Oia while in Santorini, but had several places... more

Oia is a ridiculously breathtaking village, and these guest houses are brilliant. We stayed in both the Captain's Room and the Venetian Room, and of course loved the Captain's incredible size (loft with double bed, single bed in rear and king bed in main room!) however the Venetian was perfectly charming and although significantly smaller, it had an even better... more

This was our second visit to Santorini and we wanted to stay in Oia for the views and the charming village atmosphere. I also didn't want to drive around much and the small foot paths are perfect in the Oia village. We knew we could go for a coffee with a view anytime and climb down the stairs to Ammoudi... more

Giada made a great TV show about Santorini and this is where she stayed. We love her shows. We actually stayed in the Sailing suite, the same room where she stayed with a great view to the caldera and volcano. The terrace is where we had our late breakfast every day. It overhangs the cliff with the sea and rest... more

We stayed in the Venetian room. The room and bathroom were compact but adorable and very clean. The highlight was the deck and jacuzzi to which our room gave us access. We felt like kings lying on our "private" deck every evening watching the crowds gather for the famous sunset of Oia. Priceless. more

We spent our honeymoon at the Sea Captain's House and it was absolutely lovely! Tony and his staff are incredibly hospitable and very helpful! We had a delicous breakfast each morning on our veranda overlooking the caldera - BEST view on the island! Also..make sure to eat at The Ambrosia & Nectar...we ate there 4 times and loved everything on... more

It couldn't have been better - we can't praise it enough. Great staff, great location, great facilies, great food. Truly excellent. more

We were really looking forward to our stay at the 1864 Sea Captain's House and we did have a fantastic time, though I think some of the other reviews may have gone a little bit far in their praise. If this property sold itself as anything other than a top class, high priced retreat then I would certainly have given... more
