Laokasti Villas & Restaurant

A lovely bacillary with amazingly friendly staff, due to the beds being on the second floor of our loft, air-conditioning really never got upstairs. The water in the shower never got warmer than tepid and at times was colder than that. As for location and staff, five stars...a few minor tweaks in the amenities department.

This hotel is perfect for people who are looking to explore Oia. The rooms are definitely homey with good space but very minimal furnishings. So if you're not planning on spending a ton of time lounging in your room it's more than enough to get the job done (we never used the pool but it looked nice). If you opt for the breakfast it's fantastic service and suitable quality that'll get your day started pleasantly with in-room delivery. It's just minutes from most of the Oia shops and you can even take a leisurely walk to the Byzantine Castle in less than 30 minutes. We even took a stroll down to Amoudi bay for drinks/lunch then cliff diving and back to the room in a matter of a couple of hours. It was awesome. Unless you want the whole luxury scene, I recommend this hotel.

We loved our stay at Laokasti - it's an affordable option in Oia. The pool is perfect & the staff are all so friendly & helpful. They were flexible with allowing us to stay & use the pool on the day we checked out which we really appreciated. Room was as expected, spacious, lovely & clean. We had a superior room facing the little garden & onto the street rather than the pool & worried it would be noisy but it was actually fine. Wifi and aircon worked well.

From the moment we arrived at Laokasti Villas, we were greeted with warm smiles and staff ready to help us check into our hotel smoothly. Our room was the perfect size for two, super clean, and included a cute back patio. We were pleasantly surprised every morning with a delicious breakfast that consisted of fresh fruit, eggs, honey, greek yogurt, and sausage. I loved that we had the choice every day to customize our own breakfast. The pool area is amazing and very relaxing with nice views of the flat side of Santorini. Try to wake up for sunrise!!! The poolside food was also excellent - GET THE GREEK SALAD AND SPECIALITY PIZZA!! yum. We dined at the Laokasti Restaurant and it was hands down the best food that we tried in Oia. The flavors are exquisite and the chef has clearly taken much time to plan his menu. The lamb shank, mushroom risotto, and chocolate cake were our favorites. They also have an upstairs patio to dine which shows a beautiful sunset. You will probably want to go two or three times! Overall, the staff was extremely attentive to your every need from house keeping to the front desk to the servers. Michael at the front desk we nicknamed "Savior" because he literally helped with any request we needed and could always deliver. The hotel was also very helpful with planning excursions, rental cars, and transfers to airport. Laokasti Villas will always have a place in our heart.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Clean sheets and towels every day. Each villa had its own private patio and sunbathing area - our one also had a seaview.

Great hotel.. Great room for a family trip. Located right at the beginning of Oia so you can walk the whole town with ease.

I love my stay in the Laokasti. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful.

Staff were amazing - helpful, friendly and attentive. Food at the on-site restaurant was outstanding. Nice pool with bar. Room was simply furnished but clean. Nice spot for quiet getaway.

Great location in Oia (but Oia is expensive!)- couldnt be more perfect if you want to stay in Oia. You get a discount on food & drink if you eat/ drink at the hotel. The staff are so friendly and cant do enough to help. It's quiet and peaceful despite being in one of the busiest tourist spots of the island.
