Approximately equidistant from Fira and Oia with fantastic views of the Caldera/sea. The personal hot tub was a nice touch, as well as the patio and bistro table where we enjoyed the view with a few glasses of complimentary wine. The pool area had a shaded area near the bar where we also enjoyed Greek pizza, wine, and the sea view. Outstanding hotel and staff.
This hotel was absolutely amazing. The staff was very welcoming and friendly. The staff was attentive, remembers our names, and provided service 24/7. Breakfast was included and was delicious. The pool was great and the view was even better. The only thing about this hotel is the location is not close to much of the sights however, the hotel staff was very accommodating organizing transportation for my party. 10/10 would stay here again.
The view is incredible on both sides for sunset and sunrise. The staff were great particularly Maria, Panos, the 2 breakfast staff and the 3 afternoon/evening bar staff - they were very engaging and helpful, and Maria had excellent recommendations. The welcome wine and fruit were a really nice touch.
There could be more sunbeds with shade ie umbrellas with better coverage.
I love our stay at Xenones Filotera. This property has breathtaking views and the best sunset views. The staff was amazing. It's very private and quiet. I highly recommend this place while you are in Santorini.
The staff went above and beyond to cater to our every need. Our shuttle left early before breakfast and they made us all breakfast boxes on the day we left. Panos was the most gracious host. He made restaurant reservations and car reservations
The view was amazing and perfect for the sunset. It is a few miles outside of Oia so the we did not have the craziness of the crowds. Highly recommend.

The staff (Panos, Julia, George, Margaret, Adeti, etc..) were absolutely wonderful! Beautiful, clean, and safe property. So relaxing! The breakfast buffet that is included is wonderful, fresh, and diverse. Shuttles are available to Oia and are easy to schedule. Can't recommend enough! We had a wonderful trip and want to go back soon! 😊
The hotel was very clean and the staff was friendly. We enjoyed the views from the hotel and personal hot tub. It was far out from the towns so having a car was essential.
Xenones is an excellent hotel. It was perfect for sunset views. The walk to Imerovigli was about 30 minutes (uphill). I recommend taking the taxi into town and walking back. The staff was amazing, specially Georgios and the other front desk employee/concierge. They took excellent care of us. Setting up dinner reservations, scheduling taxis, a cruise, and ATV rentals.
Incredible staff and very helpful in deciding what activities to do on the Island. Rooms were very clean, a bit warm, but had a safe, plenty of storage, and the staff gives you several welcome gifts if it is your Honeymoon. We had a private hot tub on our patio and it made all the difference. Room service was quick and easy and the food was a great option to have when we didn't want to leave the hotel. Highly recommend anyone going to the island stay here if possible.
Xenones Filotera was the perfect place for my husband and I to finish out our honeymoon. Located in a more quiet part of the island between Oia and Fira, we found it to be the the perfect place for a relaxing getaway. The service at the hotel was fantastic, and they took care of every detail for us. We absolutely would stay at Filotera again if we come back to Santorini.
The hotel is located just a short 15 minute uphill walk north of the town of Imerovigli. The service was amazing and they helped us planning thnigs to do and renting transportation. The patio view of the Mediterranean is breathtaking and the breakfast was very good.
The only slight downsides for us were the European style hand showers and the heated pool was a little cold for the weather when we were there. Everything else was amazing
It is a beautiful boutique hotel situated between Oia and Fira. It is a great location for sunset (or sunrise) views, you are able to see all sides of the island from here. Only a little hard to see the volcano, if that's important to you. The staff is incredibly nice and helpful. George at the front desk was the most helpful with tours, activities, shopping destinations and timings of when to visit which cities. Christos at the front was very helpful and accommodating to everything we asked. George and Bobbi were excellent, very nice and catering to alls needs. We had a wonderful stay, we had a room on the sunset side with the little jet tub, it was smaller than expected and not very hot, but we definitely enjoyed watching the sunset from there each night! Thank you Thank you Filotera staff!! We highly recommend and will be back!
We love the hotel view, it was SPECTACULAR, beautiful location, we really like that pool and jacuzzi does not smell like chlorine, what we love the most was the people, Yannis and Christos ver attentive to our needs, very respectful and helpful.
The staff at the Xenones Filotera is first rate, excellent, and they take care of you like you are family! I can’t rave about them enough! They helped us find the right tours, excursions, and places to eat. They called for our taxi service and made sure we were safely home every night. They used their inside knowledge of the island to get us the best dining and sunset experiences.
The view of the Caldera is breathtaking. The accommodations were clean and very comfortable. It’s an ideal, picturesque location.
Thank you Xenones Filotera for making our Santorini experience magical!

Disliked: Staff & service
They didn’t clean our room properly (or at all) until we asked them to on the first day. The staff were not properly led or trained so were sloppy and unprofessional.
Exceptional service and facilities. I travelled to Santorini with my two daughters for a family holiday and the staff at Xenones Filotera made sure that it was a most relaxing and memorable stay. The location between Thira and Oia was ideal, away from the crowds, however, easy access to everything with a bus stop virtually at the front door. Incredible views of the Aegean Sea on both sides of the resort, fantastic pool and service with a smile. Loved every minute of it!
Hotel Staff and services are the best during our 18 day trip in Greece. Location is great and quite. Breakfast is very good. Great place to review Sunset in June.
We were there for 5 days, from the time we got there to the taxi ride to the airport, we were not disappointed. The views were spectacular, sunsets were breath taking. We would go back in a heartbeat.
From beginning to end, we were treated like royalty! Cristos went above and beyond to make sure our trip was exceptional. Cannot more highly recommend. Perfectly situated just out of the way of everything if you would like peace, quiet, and a hotel, without many stairs to access the property. Do plan on some sort of transportation whether it's your own ATV, budget for taxis, or the bus as it's about a 30 min walk uphill to Imerovigli proper. Great views of both Mediterranean and Aegean.
