Had a wonderful stay here for 4-nights May 3-7. Had booked a Junior Suite but were upgraded to a Garden Suite upon arrival. Check-in was easy and appreciated that they then took the time to give us a quick tour of the property which was helpful as it is somewhat unique. Property is a former monastery with many stairs and twists and turns. Initially it seemed like a maze to find our way to the room and even back to reception but we soon got the hang of it. Room itself was very spacious and well appointed. Bedding was high quality and bed very comfortable. Our room had a nice garden seating area and plunge pool. Was nice to sit outside with a glass of wine but unfortunately the weather was not conducive to using the plunge pool. In the middle of summer this would be wonderful. The bathroom my least favorite part of an otherwise excellent room. It was a little dark and the combo bathtub/shower required to agility to get into without slipping. No problem for me but for anyone with less than good mobility I could see it be challenging. Only spent about 1-hour at the pool given the weather but the view from the pool is breathtaking, with endless views of the caldera. Breakfast was included and it was easy the best breakfast we had on our 14-days in Greece, lovely local pastries and many al la carte options. Service was a little spotty for mostly excellent. We had dinner at the high-end restaurant, Selene, one evening and it was delicious. We did the 12-course tasting menu (230eur) with wine pairing (90eur). Food quality, taste, originality, presentation and service were mostly at a Michelin level. Location of hotel is right in the edge of what I consider the tourist zone in Fira. Ideally situated with easy walking distance to all the shops and restaurants, but a still a quiet oasis away from the hordes of tourists in town. Would definitely stay here again if our travels bring us this way again.
