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.

This hotel was a dream! Super friendly and helpful staff, arranging transportation and helping with our bags down all the stairs. The breakfast was delicious and cocktails by the pool were great. It was our honeymoon and we were upgraded to the honeymoon suite, which was private, had a large hot tub/balcony and the most amazing views of the caldera! I’m so glad we stayed in Imerovigli because it was quieter and less touristy feeling than the main towns in Santorini, it also has the most amazing views of the caldera and sunset. Restaurants and some shopping in the area were still great. We watched the sunset every night from our balcony and it was so peaceful. The pool was lovely to cool down in and gets sun most of the day. The pictures just don’t do the views justice - you really have to see it in person. I loved this hotel because it was just on the outskirts of town so it was quiet and peaceful but beautiful , had everything you need and still easy access to the main towns - we did day trips into Fira and Oia and that’s really all you need. If I’m ever in Santorini again, I would definitely have another stay here!

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.

Magical
Everything about my stay at Afroessa in Imerovigli was absolutely magical, and perfect location. From setting up airport transfer and prompt pick up upon arrival by Tani went off without a hitch. I got to the hotel and had to walk a little to get to the hotel, the view was absolutely stunning. Eddie greeted me, carried my bags to reception, and checked me in. I asked for an upgrade with a jacuzzi which Elena and Eddie helped me with for 3 days of my stay, absolutely worth it. Juliano was super helpful getting my bags to the new room. Gwen and her sister the housekeepers checked in to see if I needed anything and were super helpful the whole stay. By the time I left here I felt like I’ve gained some new friends at Afroessa. Thank you all again for the wonderful customer service - Tani, Eddie, Juliano, Gwen & Sister, and Elena. Can’t wait to come back!

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!!

We texted our arrival time and were expected. Walked down a dark path - no signs nothing. Eventually someone came out of a property we had gone into and said we were in the right place. Bait and switch. Nothing resembling the description or photos. No services at all. No hot water day 1 but they came and fixed that after we texted. The “outside” of our room was fine - great views and lukewarm jacuzzi. Inside not so good. Cheaply furnished. Not well equipped. No robes, insufficient towels and blankets. Poor security. When the wind blew dust came into the room. Lousy bathroom. Fixtures wobbled and poor water pressure. I’m sure there are many better choices and certainly at almost $400 night much better. Highly do NOT recommend.

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!
