Afroessa Hotel by Pearl Hotel Collection

Beautiful, private rooms with the best caldera view. We stayed in the honeymoon suite and had a private outdoor pool/hot tub. There are many hotels in the area offering similar rooms, however the privacy of this room is what makes it stand out. Some of the more expensive hotels in the area have rooms on the walking path to Fira with no privacy. The staff at the hotel are so helpful and friendly. The maids are amazing and do such a good job as the hotel is immaculate. Pool towels provided every day if you want them. I will highlight that the rooms are quite rustic and did have some flaws including shower water going cold quickly and inconsistently. The outdoor hot tub also only has jets on for 1 minute maximum so it is more of a plunge pool than a jacuzzi. Other rooms in the hotel do not have the same level of privacy and may be on the fira path so best to check when booking. Be aware if you have mobility issues this hotel (in particular honeymoon suite) will not be for you as there are a lot of steps to get anywhere. We didn’t have the breakfast at the hotel, but we did order lunch sandwiches and the pesto/prosciutto baguette was delicious. Overall, the views from this hotel cannot be beaten and we would not consider staying anywhere else for our next visit to Santorini!

This hotel is a hidden gem. The views are unbelievable - you won’t believe it until you see it as pictures don’t do it justice. The hotel is well located, rooms are very clean with an excellent breakfast. The host, Eddie, and all of the staff are very friendly and welcoming.

This is a gem, the view is perfect and away from the crowd. It’s easy enough to find and get to and few minutes away from the bus stop. The breakfast is great with good portion size. Fruits and pastry are fresh and freshly baked. The place is clean and immaculate
