Grand View

Grand View

10/10 Excellent
"The Grand View does indeed have fabulous sunset views of the Caldera. Besides incredible views, the staff, especially Sofia and Olga, made our three night stay extra special. Our room was charmingly quaint, though the bathroom was small but adequate. We didn't swim in the pool for lack of time, though it looked amazing. Their breakfast was superb, along with limited but tasty lunch and dinner selections. We highly recommend the Grand View, especially for the overall value and experience."

"This hotel was absolutely fab! We had the honeymoon sweet and I can say this was all we needed! It was so quiet and peaceful and the breakfast was great everyday! The hotel is also a 6 minute walk to a plaza that has many restaurants and a couple souvenir shops. The hotel is also near the kastelli and about a 10 minute walk up the stairs. Overall we had a great experience with sky falls and if I come back this will definitely be my go to spot"

8/10 Good
"Beautiful property with great view and central location. Bar and reception staff were incredible. Pool was freezing and therefore was, for most of my visit, unused by majority of guests- it would be good for the hotel to invest in a heater. Sun beds were comfortable - it would be nicer if you offered service (instead of having to go to bar for a drink and food). Air conditioning unit was placed on the wall over my bed and literally kept me awake most nights (sounded as if there was a hurricane outside)."

"Excellent stay, breakfast was tasty and plentiful, rooms were well prepared and cleaned. Staff was always available and helpful. Only complaint was hot water for the shower was occasionally, and I mean only a couple times, not quite as hot as one might like. Would stay there again."

What is a historic hotel like in Santorini?
Historic hotels give guests the chance to stay in a place that's been recognised with an official historic designation. Historic hotels throughout the world can be castles, palaces or even pubs or old police stations — as long as it's of special interest. These types of hotels in Santorini often retain original qualities like traditional architecture and period features in their public spaces or guestrooms.
What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
The two are similar. The term "historic hotel" is more common in the U.S., while you'll often hear "heritage hotel" in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to place more significance on the architecture and actual building. A heritage hotel draws meaning mainly from the cultural value that the place has and how it inspired the community.
Do historic hotels in Santorini have modern facilities?
Yes. Every effort is made to preserve the historic aspects and traditions, but interiors include modern conveniences and safety features. Guests can expect the amenities you'd find in a hotel such as private rooms with updated bathroom facilities, heating and air conditioning, and free and fast Internet. In Santorini, booking a historic hotel doesn't mean you're choosing a place that's uncomfortable for guests or simply rundown.
