Hotéis com breakfast em South Aegean, Greece

Unfortunately, our stay at Argo Boutique Hotel was quite disappointing, especially considering that it is advertised as a 4-star hotel. There were some positive aspects: the bed was comfortable, the breakfast had a reasonable variety of options, and we appreciated the two complimentary bottles of water provided on the first day. However, several issues significantly affected our stay. The bathroom sink was blocked, which is not something we would expect from a 4-star hotel. Our room had a balcony directly facing the hotel and the street. Because of the lack of privacy and the high level of exposure, keeping the windows open was uncomfortable for most of the time we were in the room. In my opinion, this type of room should only be allocated when there are no other rooms available. This was not our situation, as we had booked several months in advance and it did not appear to be one of the last rooms available. The soundproofing was also very poor. We could hear a lot of noise from the neighbouring rooms and the corridors, including conversations and, particularly, doors constantly slamming. When guests in the rooms next to us closed their doors, the noise was loud enough to wake us up. This was especially frustrating during the night and early in the morning, and significantly affected the quality of our sleep. The internet was another significant issue. There was essentially no Wi-Fi connection in the room and, unfortunately, even using mobile data was not a viable alternative, as 5G/mobile coverage was also extremely poor inside the room. The Wi-Fi was also frequently unavailable in the breakfast area. For a hotel of this category, this was particularly disappointing. The payment process was also not quite what we expected. When making the reservation, we selected “Pay at the property” and intended to pay the full amount in cash at check-in. However, we were first required to pay 50% in advance, and the hotel subsequently continued attempting to charge the remaining balance to the card before our arrival. We eventually paid the outstanding amount in cash upon arrival, as originally intended. Had I not blocked the card from being charged, the payment would have gone through. This was frustrating, particularly given that the reservation had been made with the “Pay at the property” option. The breakfast was varied enough in terms of choice, but the quality was rather average and the selection did not change much from day to day. For example, the fruit was the same every day, which becomes quite limiting when staying for several days. The breakfast area is also very small and not particularly well organised for the number of guests, making it feel crowded at busy times. We only used the pool once, as it is in a shaded area by the end of the day. We did not use the spa, as this requires an additional payment. Overall, although there were some positives, I don’t feel that our experience reflected the standard I would expect from a 4-star hotel — at least not in the room we were given. Considering the price, the fact that we had booked several months in advance, and the hotel’s category, we expected considerably more.

We’d like to express our heartfelt gratitude towards Ms. Margarita and the team at the Cellia Retreat Suites, for their world class excellence of hospitality and making our stay one of the best experience in Greece. We’d like to especially thank the duty manager Margarita for the following: 1. Providing swift assistance to our oversight in duplicate booking, and proactively contacting the travel agent so we could cancel the duplicate booking and receive refunds within the same day 2. Is very knowledgeable about the island; she has provided personalised itinerary recommendations based on our preference; she has made very thoughtful arrangements regarding transport and restaurants, including recommending a trip to the Santos Wine Winery which offered us the best sunset views of the island we have ever seen. 3. Is extremely friendly, always greets guests with a big smile, and she has made our stay a superbly wonderful and pleasant experience. In addition to the warm hospitality, the property is a lovely place to stay; the pool has a beautiful view and the breakfast is wonderful to the eyes and our stomach. Thank you Ms. Margarita and I’d highly recommend visitors to stay at the Callia Retreat Suites next time they visit Santorini.

Excellent service, stunning views, very pretty hotel, highly recommended! The most handsome manager contacted us before our arrival to arrange a pick-up service. When we landed at the airport, George the driver was already waiting for us with a name sign — so convenient and stress-free. He drove us to the nearest drop-off point near McDonald's, and from there, handsome manager and Edward the porter was already there waiting for us. it was just a 5-minute walk to the hotel. Edward helped carry our luggage from the roadside all the way to the room, and did the same when we checked out. Such thoughtful service! During check in, handsome manager was incredibly attentive and thoughtful, taking the time to explain the nearby attractions and facilities in detail. It was clear that he genuinely cares about his guests. Our room was on the higher floor of the building, offering exceptional privacy. The space was absolutely beautiful — a two-level unit with a breathtaking view of the caldera and the volcano island. The hot tub was a highlight. The water was wonderfully warm, and since March was a bit chilly, soaking in the tub became the most relaxing part of each day. We spent hours in there, enjoying the panoramic volcano view — absolutely perfect. The unit itself was spacious and well-equipped with everything we needed. The toiletries — shampoo, body lotion, and so on — were from a lovely brand with such a rich, elegant fragrance. As soon as we walked into the room, we were greeted by that beautiful scent. It felt fresh, special, and incredibly romantic. Breakfast was served with a sheet where you could tick your choices, and you could select different items each day — a lovely touch. The breakfast itself was generous and delicious. The hotel is run by a small, dedicated team. The same gentleman Mr Edward who helped carry our luggage also took care of breakfast, room maintenance,, and more. Everyone we met was always smiling, warm, and genuinely welcoming. Their hospitality made our stay truly special — honestly one of the very best experiences I've ever had. As for the stairs — yes, there are some steps to reach the hotel, but this is Santorini. If you're expecting a flat walk everywhere, this probably isn't the right island for you. In the context of Santorini, the stairs here are absolutely nothing to worry about. The location is actually very convenient — you can walk along the cliffside path or head down to the old port, and take the cable car back up, which is fun and easy. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Santorini.

Everything is just fine and perfect—the hotel, the location, everything is just perfect. The people are so nice, but there was one thing missing. We had a problem with the AC, and we asked for their help twice (we needed to turn it off, and it wouldn't turn off, so we asked them). They came, checked, and then left, and they never came back or did anything. It was a little disappointing. Other than that, nothing—everything was on point.

This is the best place to stay. We will use this place again if we travel to Zakynthos. The staff are friendly, the breakfast is delicious, the facilities are clean and the pool is beautiful. Resting under the shade of an olive tree was like a dream. Thank you for everything.

The environment is very beautiful, the room facilities are also very good, and we were upgraded to a large room. Whether it is the manager or the two waiters, the service is very good. There is also a 24-hour warm water bath on the balcony, with lights, which is very beautiful, although we did not take a bath due to strong winds. The only comment is that there are too few fruits and vegetables in the breakfast, which can be improved.

The pool was broken and I couldn't use it. They charge €10 if you leave towels on the floor and don't even give me a warning. They charged me €50 for the towels and for accidentally soiling the bed cover. They simply left a note under the door to go to reception and say I had to pay €50. They demanded cash, and I insisted and would only pay by card and invoice. Other than that, everything went well.

Overall a decent stay, but definitely not a true 5-star experience. The hotel is starting to show its age, and the rooms and common areas could use some renovation. The food was repetitive and not particularly good, with very little variety from one day to the next. The staff and location were fine, but for a 5-star price I expected a higher standard. I'd recommend it for a relaxed stay, but not if you're expecting luxury.

Overall, we had a pleasant stay and the views were beautiful. The location is very convenient — it is not right in the busiest part of Oia or near the castle, but restaurants and shops are only a few minutes’ walk away, and we could still enjoy a lovely sunset view from the property. Communication before and during our stay was good. The host replied very quickly on WhatsApp, especially when we had some difficulty finding the exact entrance at first. Our room was a two-level suite, which was nicely designed, spacious and clean. Do note that there are quite a few steps to reach the property, so carrying large luggage can be a little tiring. There is also no breakfast included, which would have been a nice addition given the beautiful terrace and view. The main issue we experienced was on the first night, when the drainage in the bathroom became blocked and water backed up into the room after we showered. As it was already around 11:30 pm, it could not be fixed immediately, so we had to clean up the water ourselves. The next morning, staff checked the issue and arranged for it to be repaired. It took around one to two hours, and we did not have the same problem again on the second night. The issue was resolved, which we appreciated, although a little more follow-up afterwards would have made the service feel more complete, especially considering the price of the stay. On the positive side, they were also flexible with our check-out time as we had a transfer booked later. Overall, the location, room and views were all very good, and our stay would have been excellent without the drainage issue.

I truly don’t even know where to begin with Elizabeth… she is exceptional. Our stay at Theano Cave Suites was beautiful, immaculate, and exactly as pictured online, but Elizabeth is what made our experience feel genuinely 5-star. Before we even arrived in Santorini, she had everything arranged for us. A private driver was waiting at the port with our name, our room was ready early, and from the moment we arrived, we honestly didn’t have to think about a thing. She completely took everything off our plate. Every morning she prepared the most incredible homemade breakfast, at whatever time we preferred, and would help us plan our day… where to go, what to see, transportation, reservations… everything. She somehow made everything feel effortless while still being incredibly personal and genuine. My husband and I were completely blown away by her. We actually decided to stay an extra night in Santorini because of the experience she created for us.  The suite itself is beautiful, clean, peaceful, and everything you would hope for… but Elizabeth is what makes this place unforgettable. I can confidently say that if we return to Santorini, I would specifically return here just to have Elizabeth as our host again. If you are looking for a carefree, luxurious and truly special experience in Santorini… book this place. And if you have Elizabeth taking care of you, consider yourself incredibly lucky. She is truly one of the best things this island has to offer. 🤍
