Bella Santorini

Nice oasis away from congested Fira and Oia. This place is a little further away but it was perfect and quiet. Breakfast is great.

Lina was most welcoming when we arrived, and informed us of all the activities available. Staff extremely polite and professional.

Having read a few reviews and looked at the photos on Expedia - we thought this would be a nice place to stay. Firstly it is miles away from anywhere - you need to hire a car. The initial room they gave us was disgusting - not even a proper shower, you had to hold a hand held shower and crouch down by the sloping roof to have a shower in a sort of wet room!! No complimentary toiletries, and the room itself was cramped and very drab - not like the bright ones in the pictures. It was late at night when we arrived and were too tired to complain. It was like staying in a 2* guest house! The breakfast the next day looked nothing like the picture of the buffet, either. We complained and had to fork out another 100 euros to change room as they said we had booked a basic twin room !!! (I thought a studio was more than a basic room) - they were having none of it and said that was the only option. - The second room was better but nothing like the pictures - though it did have a proper shower! Initially I was quite encouraged by their offer to arrange a taxi pickup at the airport, however I would not recommend this hotel. Very very disappointing - shame on you Expedia for giving it a 4 star rating. 2/3 star much more like it - try staying there and seeing for yourselves

Pretty good hotel overall. Very close to the beach. Clean room. Our room was upgraded due to a small mix up upon the arrival. Staff is extremely friendly. Highly recommended.

Pics and details on hotels.com were not as described. We complained and were moved to a diff room which fitted our room booking description. On last night we were moved again to another hotel where the toilet clogged after first use, the towels were like sand paper, the bins were just outside our room balcony. Other point most guests were westerners who love animals and to see the owner kicking a pregnant cat is terrible.

Not clean enough. Poor service and breakfast. Good staf.good welcoming and buy. Near the beach.

A great find. Spotless rooms, cleaned daily. Ample breakfast bar, with sweet, savoury, hot and cold options, replenished continuously until 10am (which is more than can be said for some top end hotels we've stayed at). Relaxing pool area. Super-nice staff, led by Lina. A great diverse clientele too. Lots of nationalities. Families with young kids, young adults groups, older couples - all getting on fine. Yes, some reviews have commented on the location not being optimal, with a view of unfinished construction - but, pretty much anywhere on Santorini there's a view of something unfinished. Similarly with the lack of footpaths - which do seem to be a bit of a luxury on Santorini. Take a torch / flashlight to be seen at night! The benefit of being set back from the main strip is that it's much quieter. We slept with windows open for a natural breeze - No bugs or mosquitoes either.

The hotel was charming very clean and the stuff was extremely friendly and helpful

Had am amazing time in Santorini. Hotel was great, the staff was very friendly and helpful for anything you needed. If I go back to Santorini I will go to the same hotel.
