The staffs are beyond wonderful. They made our stay so comfortable and nice. My host Lilac was so nice and kind. She even called us to have a breakfast when we were overslept. She showed us ways to get the best view in town. The area is very safe. Our room was amazing with the sunset view. I would definitely come back here to stay.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Very friendly and hospitable service. The breakfast needs special mention as it was freshly made and was very enjoyable. The sunset view from the hotel is the best in the entire town (see pictures attached). The hotel is in the middle (sort of equidistant) from Oia (the main tourist attraction) and the Fira (main town). The bus stop is a 5 minute walk and one can take convenient city bus (air conditioned Mercedes buses) that have a strict schedule. If someone likes to walk (hiking) - there is a special path / route that passes through all these hotels (like an open tunnel) and one can do these trips with scenic ocean view (be mindful of the hot temperature).

We stayed in late November. We loved our cave room and the view was great. My only complaint is the food choice. Most of the restaurants are closed in the area. There is a restaurant at the hotel, which opens at 6pm, but the choice is limited.

Heliotopos was our favorite place we stayed on this trip. Wonderful setting in Imerovigli. Evelina very communicative and helpful with our stay. She gave us a fantastic rundown of all the places we might like to visit during our stay. Sunsets of course wonderful and can enjoy at the wine bar restaurant on site. Someone had a wedding one evening we were there. Can’t think of a more charming location. Loved our room which was nestled in a cave and even had a window into the wall at the back showing the rock’s signature during the eruption. We didn’t use the pool but it looked refreshing. Wonderful breakfast with cappuccino to boot. Can just sit on your balcony all day and soak it in. We look forward to staying there again.

The view from Heliotopos is stunning. We stayed in family room where we had small kitchen. Loved the balcony. Joseph is really helpful. He helped us booking the bus day tour around the Santorini island. The breakfast didnt have much choices, but very refreshing and fresh. George's freshly made orange juices is amazing. Overall a great hotel to stay. We had to walk Fira which is about 20 mts, not bad in the day time. Since the season did not started many restaurants near this hotel was closed. We had a 24/7 super martket illios, they have free delivery. Their food is really yummy. Will recommend this hotel to my friends and family. i will go back next year in summer.

This was a nice hotel overlooking the sea. We had a private balcony with 2 level room. We were there during the off season so it was quiet. The staff were really friendly and gave suggestions on what to see during our stay. To note: the tap water is salt water from the sea so bottled water is a must. The power went out a few times in one night and the internet took a while to reboot. The hot water is on demand so takes a few minutes to heat up and doesnt last long (hot showers turned cold after about 5 min). There are no Do Not Disturb signs for the door so the cleaning staff lets themselves in to your room whether you want them to or not (even when youre in the room!) There are many stairs and no elevator. Improvements: more breakfast options are necessary (oat milk, peanut butter, oat meal, fresh bananas, smoothies), raillings should be installed on the stairs in the rooms, more vegan options in the restaurant (vegan cheese, coconut butter, vegan mayo/sauce etc), shower doors should be installed as water was everywhere, loose electrical outlets should be fixed.
