A really lovely hotel with excellent service. It was our second time at Afroessa and it was superb. The views are stunning and everyone at the hotel were very helpful. It’s well located slightly outside of the busy Fira but very walkable along a coastal path (the return journey is uphill!). The pool area is really nice and with only 12 rooms it felt peaceful too. Recommended.

Liked: Cleanliness
We had a wonderful view from our room. It seemed all rooms faced to the west for sunset views. The water was not drinkable in the room, but several SuperMarts were nearby to buy water, snacks,and necessities. Be aware that the walking paths are steep in places with many stairs. Vehicles cannot reach the hotel, and the nearest point for pick up and drop off is about 100 meters. The hotel staff was awaiting our arrival and assisted with carrying my wife's bag to the room. Breakfast was not included, but there was a Nespresso machine in the room and breakfast was available for purchase. We did not try it and instead walked to Crown's for an excellent salmon bagel and coffee. Leave your high heels in your bag and wear sensible walking shoes if you plan to go out of the hotel.

Best kept secret in Santorini!

The view here at Afroessa is second to none! Better than that, we stayed in peak season and felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. Imerovigli is DEFINITELY the town to stay in when visiting Santorini. Oia is a tourist trap, but we lucked out by staying here. Our host was very welcoming and accommodating and made us feel right at home. The room was a bit cramped for someone tall like me, but you really felt you were getting the authentic Santorini experience. We had our own private balcony overlooking the caldera and felt like royalty when we sat there watching the beautiful sunset. I definitely would recommend this place to anyone looking to travel to Santorini and skip the touristy crowds! This place was a piece of heaven! Oh, and go to Anogi to eat! Quite literally the best food we have ever had, no question!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Some of the most stunning views on the island. BUT – the place was kind of a mess. The faucet on the sink was falling over. The water pressure was terrible. The beds were small and hard. A bunch of the doors on the property would crash open & closed in the wind at night so it was hard to sleep. It's a cute spot that is badly in need of a remodel. We loved the area of Imerviogli because it was less touristy and had such stunning views (while still being an easy taxi or uber to the other parts of the island). But I would not recommend this as a place to stay.

I know we came off season in November but this was a bait & switch. Nothing matched the pictures. No restaurant, pool, or staff or services. We were alone. No hot water first night. Not enough towels, cups, or blankets. Dark at night and no lights. No security at all. Awful. Ripped off because it was very expensive. Yes we had a caldera sunset view and a dirty jacuzzi- but room quality was poor. Stay away!!

Our recent stay at Hotel Afroessa in Santorini was overall a delightful experience, with a few minor quirks. From the moment we arrived, the service was welcoming. A porter greeted us at the drop-off point and kindly carried our bags down the hill to the hotel, as it is perched on an incline. The general manager, Ed, personally welcomed us, which was a nice touch. He was friendly and professional, showing us to our room and explaining the hotel’s policies. The room itself was fine, though it wasn’t quite what we had expected. While it was comfortable and met most of our needs, the one drawback was the shower. It didn’t have an overhead stand, so we had to hold the showerhead while bathing, which sometimes caused water to splash around. Despite this minor inconvenience, our overall stay was enjoyable. Ed also took the time to suggest various activities we could participate in during our vacation, which was helpful. The hotel’s location offered stunning views, and the atmosphere was peaceful, making for a relaxing stay. One memorable highlight was the warm and friendly staff. We were particularly happy to connect with two wonderful ladies from Cameroon who work there as caretakers—meeting fellow compatriots from the motherland was a lovely surprise. In conclusion, Hotel Afroessa offers a lovely experience with personable service, even if the room facilities could use a small upgrade. It’s definitely worth a visit if you’re looking for a cozy, welcoming place in Santorini.

Unbelievable view from the property, it will take your breath away and great quiet area in between Fira and Oia. Easy access to Fira and Oia from there, especially if you want to hike the path between. Plenty of restaurants and markets and coffee within easy walk. Pool area was great. You are really paying for the view, exterior, location here. The rooms themselves were dated, but comfortable, and not many amenities. Wi-fi was great.
