Lovely quiet location, Akrotiri is a fantastic place to stay!
Hotel is family owned and run!
Nothing is too much trouble for them
We loved every moment of our stay, and hope to return soon!
Great location in Akrotiri, this property is equipped with a swimming pool. The room was very spacious and clean with a nice terrace overlooking the Caldera. The staff is super and very helpful to suggest the best option to enjoy the Island.
Very friendly staff, excellent view, spacious room, and all around good vibes. This hotel is excellent for those who want to stay away from the huslte and bustle and wants to recharge in a quiet and beautiful environment.
Amazing views up the hill
Nice pool
Hosts excellent catered for all our needs
Even drove us to a resturant
Highly recommend
But be aware it is up the hill from the center and only breakfast served no lunch or dinner
Nice pool, nice location, room very basic but convenient. Very relaxing part of island but staff was not so friendly and lot of noise from neighbooring room
Doesnt provide any breakfast
The property was clean, spacious, and close to restaurants, mini market, and local bus stop. The views from the property and nearby, are beautiful. The neighborhood was nice and quiet. The property owners and staff are very attentive, kind, professional and very helpful. They also offer a great breakfast to all guests!

The property was too far fir all the attractions other than that it was ok
Hotel is located in Akrotiri, a quiet village in Santorini, easy to get around by bus or car. The hosts were wonderful and made sure that we had everything we needed to make our stay perfect. Room was large which was nice for my family of 4. Would definitely stay here again when we return to Santorini.
The hotel is located in the small village Akrotiri, very quiet and calm. The main tourist attractions are a short drive away (the red beach is even a walking distance for the experienced hikers), only Oia is a bit far (40 minutes drive).
The staff is very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and tidy, there's a small refrigirator which is a plus. The hotel is accesible by car (not all the village is accesible, there's one "main" road)
We had a great stay.
The only minor issue we encountered was occasional loss of Wi-Fi signal which didn't really have any effect on our overall exprience
Highly recommended for those who seek peace and quiet over proximity to the touristic "center"
We had a fabulous time at Thira's Dolphin. The host couple are very sweet and friendly. The breakfast was fabulous, and the pool was a wonderful treat. The hotel is located in an old town so you really feel like you get a culture experience. There are a few nice restaurants and a supermarket a short walk away. The area itself is quite hilly. There is a decent bus service to get to Oia which was quite affordable and easy to use (however service is more sparse in the evening after the Oia sunset). Close(ish) to the hotel is an ancient town of Akrotiri which is definitely worth a visit, and close by is one of the beaches. We walked it and were glad we did, but the hill back was horrible.
Another issue was on our booking it says there is a free shuttle from the ferry port. Well this is NOT the case, and it was a very expensive taxi or shuttle instead. We did discover later that the local bus goes there too, but without the knowledge it would be difficult to navigate.
Overall we absolutely loved our stay.
The family that runs this property is very keen to help the guests in any way, provided a map and bus timetable at arrival to help us get around the island as we didn’t plan to get a car.
Lovely variety of breakfast options to set you up for the rest of the day.
They are always smiling, welcoming warm and calm.
Village shops are one minute away and Portobello restaurant was our favourite for quality and service with a smile. Even the cleaning lady at the property always said her good morning with a smile!
If you want to escape the crazy prices of Thira and Oia this location is perfect. We just loved it and left a tip.
I liked the quiet location and that the entire island was easily accessible from there. Clean towels were provided daily, breakfast was plentiful and the owners were very friendly. They went beyond what was required of them and helped eliminate the stress of getting around and departure time. There was four of us and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thanks Dominica!
We were delayed in our arrival due to a ferry strike, so I reached out to the hotel to let them know so that our full reservation would not be cancelled. Dominica was quick to reply and helped us secure a transfer from the port to the hotel.
The hotel was quaint and family run. Not much of a bar, but an amazing pool with great views! The rooms were large and had a spacious shower, especially in comparison with other hotels we stayed at in Greece! After a day, we decided to rent a car so that we could explore the rest of the island and Dominica again helped us and arranged a car rental for us where they delivered the car directly to us at the hotel.
