Abelonas Retreat

The maissonete was the best choice for us. It was a quiet place, spotless clean, smelled nice and it had a great caldera view. We were given water at the arrival and a lot of recomandations for restaurants and other activities to do in the area. The sunset from the balcony is amaizing. It was quite easy to find a parking spot nearby. Breakfast is excellent, with a lot of choices, served in the balcony. I would definately stay again.

We were so happy with our stay at Abelonas; we ended up getting a respiratory illness while on our vacation, and were so grateful to be in this gorgeous room during a time when we didn't really feel like getting out and doing much. The views in the maisonette room were absolutely stunning, with a view of both sides of the island so we could see both the sunrise and sunset. We spent a lot of time just hanging out on the balcony looking at the water. We really liked the location in Imerovigli as it was less crowded than Fira or Oia, but still accessible. It was about a 40 min walk to the center of Fira, however, so keep that in mind. There is a bus that goes from Imerovigli to Fira but only runs hourly, and taxis are expensive on the island. There are a number of restaurants nearby with great views of the caldera. The daily breakfast in our room was pretty basic but appreciated, as it was one less thing for us to think about in the mornings. The front desk was very helpful in arranging transport from the airport and to the port, and gave us other really helpful tips regarding where to go on the island. We did not really go in the pool as it was unheated and you aren't allowed to wear sunscreen in the water, but there were some nice places around the pool and the rest of the property to hang out. Overall, I would absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Santorini who wants great views and is fine with less of a luxury experience.

The location in Imeraglivi was great. Not crowded but easy access to Fira and the hike to Oia. The staff were very helpful. The pool was great to cool off after a hot day. Our first 2 nights were in an upstairs suite which was spacious and lightfilled with balconies with view of the caldera and the sea, we were able to watch both the sunset and the sunrise, it was amazing.

Location on top.of the peak of imerogivila meant uou had spectacular views in all.directuons. also the hotel has various rooms all with special features and also has a pool and rooftop sunbathing and viewpoints. However the cooked breakfast and extras delivered to your room every morning was the perfect way to start each day. Also the manager (Pavlos), has over 20 years experience in the trade and his recommendations for places to eat and places to visit and which excursions to ho on made all the difference. Superb.

The location and views are fantastic. Staff are very nice, friendly and informative. Yianas at reception is doing a great job as is the lovely guy that brings the breakfast (these are who have most interactions with guests). We did like the breakfast delivery but it gets repetitive after few days (we stayed 5nights) great to have restaurants/shop etc on your doorstep. Lovely to have the pool and the higher level sun deck to laze about and take in the scenery. Pool towels provided which is great.
