We only stayed here one night unfortunately, but next time we come back to Santorini we will be back at Aressana Hotel, and would highly recommend this hotel. What a lovely place! Our room was perfect, spacious (especially compared to other European hotels), very clean and comfortable. It is also one of the few that has rooms to sleep a family of 4. It is situated in the perfect position to the Fira shops and restaurants and just a few steps away from the magnificent sunset view. (Wow!) And within short walk just up the hill from the bus stop.

The breakfast was absolutely charming - very authentic Greek (after all that is what we are there for, isnt it?) My girls loved the risogalo! My family enjoyed the lovely pool very much, it is extremely deep so is very suited to a teenaged family especially, and the beautiful little reading area with the big wicker chairs is gorgeous.

The staff were very helpful and they have free internet (although this is probably not a good idea, as it may be better to charge a small fee due to people being reluctant to move once on it).

Overall this hotel has wonderful character and charm and greatly enhanced our short but enjoyable stay in Santorini. Thank you Aressana!

We had a lovely stay here at then end of Sept. We booked online directly with the hotel and they were very responsive and helpful in emails. At their suggestion, I booked the ferry through
www.openseas.gr and picked up the tickets at a local travel agency when we arrived. This hotel was in a perfect location, close to the view and town. The hotel staff were extra helpful. They recommended a 5 hour boat cruise (Thalassa) which we thoroughly enjoyed. Took the donkey ride up after the cruise. They also set up a one day car rental which worked out great. We left the car at the ferry port for our next journey. Recommend seeing the different beaches, Oia, and sunsets.
BTW - we did not see the breakfast egg sign as mentioned in an earlier review but scrambled eggs did come out about 10 min before we were done. Nice touch is the free pc in lobby
for the internet. The bathroom was tiny and we even paid for the superior room. So, not sure what the size of the standard room would be. Balcony was a nice size. Tips: There is a supermarket to get cokes and snacks cheaper than the hotel mini bar. Go down the hill to the next corner and make a right. Then about 50 feet. Cab from airport to hotel should be 10 euro.
Try Murphy's for drinks.

A pleasant stay at this hotel which was enhanced by the fact that it is beautifully located with a fair view. The staff were pleasant and helpful, except there were not irons available for our use! We were quite put off by having to pay money for a quick 10 second job we could have done ourselves.

THe breakfast could have been better with a greater variety of foods.

The room was clean, modern, the bed comfortable and a beautiful touch was the gift in the room of traditional preserves and sweet Santorinian wine. Made us feel very at home/

In reference to a previous review about chicken farms being in close proximity, i would hardly say that one excitable rooster was such a traumatic experience-rather it added to the charm of the place and a bit of humour.

The service at this hotel was absolutely terrible!!!! First of all they claim to be 5star hotel, however they don't provide IRONS in the room or at reception, instead they offer ironning services for a fee. Ohh well that we could we deceided to give our cloude for ironing .. using theire services (by the way it was my parents wedding clothes for my wedding). They absolutely ruined it!!!! And and we went to claim... front desk staff couldn't be less careless.
Second of all, location of this hotel has a view to a chicken farm from some windows and we were so lucky enough to book honeymoon suite with this amazing view, smell and sounds!!!! We were awake at 5.00 every morning.
And finally... on the actuall wedding day - we had flowers delivery.. which went to absolutely different room and to find them it took 30 minutes of waiting!!!!
Please think twice dear travellers before you book this hotel!!!!
