Such a great location if you want to be in the center of Oia! Only steps away from one of the most famous photo spots and we were able to get up early and see it at sunrise without the massive crowds that get there around 8 am. The room was beautiful and clean and breakfast was great. My only complaint is the wifi is not so good. Otherwise an amazing stay
This place was so great.Takis was fantastic, communicating was super easy. He made sure we knew about the transfer from the airport and even arranged the return as well. Super knowledgeable about where to eat and what was a must see.I would book again in a heart beat.
Amazing stay! Takis & his team made our Santorini trip thrice as enjoyable. Takis recommend us a list of the best restaraunts in the town. All 3 restaurants are amazing! He also helped us make reservations for Sunset cruise boat private tours and transport services from and to the airport. Everything is seemless! The hotel room was clean and cozy with amazing wifi and television services. It suit us perfectly (2 adults & 2 teenagers). Each morning, we had a delicious breakfast with fresh fruit, freshly squeezed orange juice and an amazing view of the calderra. If you’re in Oia you will not regret staying here! Thanks Takis & teams😀
The Captain’s House and Takis are wonderful. The best location and super helpful and friendly. I would highly recommend and stay here again. Upstairs has a great view as well as the patio for the very spacious main house. A++++++
The staff was exceptionally helpful and friendly. I feel we truly became friends. It was more than a business transaction to them. Fantastic location near the Main Street so you only had to climb about 7 steps to the main walkway/restaurant/shopping street. Friends had to climb 100 steps every day so this is a big plus in hilly Santorini. Room was very clean and the breakfasts were so large we didn’t have to eat lunch once! Great place. You will enjoy it.
Perfect stay on Santorini. Takis was extremely helpful from the transfer to the house from a delayed ferry to helping us back off to the airport with our changing schedule, The suite was perfect for our family of 4 and quiet at night. The breakfast on the patio each morning was second to none! I would recommend to all my friends and family. And Oia was a great landing spot for this leg of our trip. Thank you!
The best place in Oia! The amazing view of the caldera from our main door of the Captain's Suite, the tasteful wooden furniture and decor, the breakfast feast in the courtyard, the transfer and porter service, and the people (Takis, Demi, Vasilikus, etc.) made our stay unforgettable.
It’s a fantastic place! The host is super nice. We had a unforgettable time there. Very convenient location, gorgeous view, very close to the iconic blue dome churches. I have traveled a lot and stayed in many hotels. I don’t usually recommend hotels to other people unless it’s truly outstanding, and 1864 The Sea Captains House is one of them. You won’t regret if you choose it.
What to say about this place? It is better than the photos! The location is the best in Santorini. The breakfasts are unbelievable. Takis and staff are friendly and helpful. You feel like they are making this your home. The two drawbacks: everyone is taking Instagram photos outside the courtyard, and the shower facilities are awkward. Other than that: perfection!! We will return.
Perfect location along the caldera path in Oia. Clean room, comfy bed, complimentary coffee, water and juice. Breakfast was ridiculously tasty and Takis is a gracious and fantastic host. Lovely view from the balcony!
Beautiful property with gorgeous view. Cave suite was perfect for three adults. Private dining area overlooking the sea makes it the best suite imo. Staff goes above and beyond.
What a wonderful stay. Perfect location in the true heart of Oia. A very historic and well located building in the center of town. Be prepared for a memorable breakfast on your balcony overlooking views unparalleled. We stayed in the older of the three rooms which was still a great size and a perfect venue for us. Takis and all staff were so kind anfc accommodating. We will be back!
The location in Santorini was right in the heart of the shopping and food in Oia. Takis and the staff were extremely friendly and knowledgeable, and Takis gave us great tips to see the most of the island.
We absolutely loved the location and beautiful views. Just steps away from shops and restaurants. We had a delicious breakfast on the veranda too that was included in our package. The owners/staff were so kind and very attentive. We will definitely be back!
Apart from the location, the property is unique, and the entire staff are superb! Plus, they provide a phenomenal spread for breakfast that will help you kick-off your day in style. Highly recommended.
Fabulous location in the heart of Oia and an amazing terrace with views to die where we got to enjoy breakfast every morning. The suite was super clean and the cave like space was chic and comfortable. Perfect for a family to stay and enjoy Santorini. Highly recommend!
WAY OVERPRICED. I can’t believe I booked this place for this much. Beautiful room, very clean, hosts were great, but for 400+ euros it’s a rip off! There are so many better, cheaper options with more amenities than this at this price point. I must have been drunk when I booked this
Our arrival to Santorini couldn’t have been any smoother. The 1864 Sea Captain House arranged a mini van to pick us up at the airport and also had a bell boy carry our luggage up the cobble path and into our hotel (it was a long way to haul our luggage). Takis, the property manager, was extremely helpful. He helped us organize our activities during our stay and went above and beyond to help us enjoy our days in Santorini. Breakfast was served to us daily in our patio. It was a delight staying here.
Located at prime spot in Oil, our host greet us upon our arrival. Gave us tips on navigating the island, and recommended some good places for food. Great view of the ocean, walkable distance to the main shopping street, highly recommended!
Hotel, scenery, and stay was fabulous! But nothing was better than the wonderful host and hostesses that we’re very welcoming and made the trip most memorable for my family!
We've had a wonderful couple of days at the Sea Captain's House. The house was charming , yet fully modernized to satisfy all of our needs. We've had breakfast served on our private patio overlooking the sea every morning. Takes, the property manager personally greeted us at breakfast inquiring how he could make our stay more enjoyable every day. He arranged transfers and tours lettings enjoy them without getting involved in the logistics. Every person at the House was kind and courteous from the beginning until the last moment, when we were heading to the seaport. WE WILL come back next year for sure!
Great location next in Oia, near many good restaurants, photo spots, shops. Great hospitality extended to us by the hosts, especially Thakis, who recommended many useful tips for us. Great accommodation, comfortable, clean, awesome view. Highly highly recommended!!!
The hospitality, the view and the breakfast all exceeded our expectations! Takis and his staff met us and had our luggage carried to the hotel by their donkey. He spent time talking to us about our plans and made sure we were happy there.
We stayed in the Captain's Suite which was very spacious and comfortable. Our breakfast was served to us on our large private patio with magnificent views. There was plenty of food and everything was delicious!
We would definitely recommend this hotel and look forward to staying there again on our next trip to Santorini.
Picturesque hotel in the heart of Oia. This is a charming and lovely hotel right in the heart d the city. The room is spacious and beautiful. The balcony has the most perfect view I have ever seen and it's steps away from shops and restaurants. There's no real concierge or front desk but management check in every morning at breakfast on the patio. The only complaint would be there is very little privacy. But that's everywhere in Oia. Folks will be able to see you from your patio but the view is so good you probably won't care.
We had such an amazing stay in the Sailing suite in late October. The pictures on the website are very accurate - it was exactly what we had imagined only better once you meet Takis and experience the great, personalized service he and the rest of the staff provide.
Bed, linens, large tub are all high quality. Such amazing detail retained from this 1864 gem. The location is the best in Oia. Highly recommend.
We had a wonderful stay at The Sea Captain's House in September 2017. Takis and his wife saw to our every need and were so helpful in helping us with dinner reservations and booking a catamaran trip. We were met at the ferry port by a driver who took us to the drop off nearby; we were then met by a porter and donkey to take our luggage to our room, while Takis walked us there. We stayed in the Captain's Suite, and our room was spacious and comfortable. A wonderful Greek breakfast was served to us each morning on our private patio, with an incredible view. And our departure was also very easy. Incredible personal service by The Sea Captain's House! I would highly recommend it.
Loved loved loved this place! Staff was friendly and helpful. Location could not be better. The best part was the balcony - we stayed in the Sailing Suite and I could have spent the whole time on the balcony. Magical!
Great hotel with best location in town. We had the Venetian suite with a semi-obstructed view, would try to go for the neighbor's suite next time with the better view. Shower would splash water everywhere, the bathroom doorknob is in bad shape, and the bed is not made for anyone taller thsn 5'11". But, I would still stay here again, because a lot of other things were really good.
