- Maltrotto (9/5): -
- Susan (7/5): - La recepcionista y la joven de la limpieza fueron sumamente amables. Muchas gracias Es muy pequeño el alojamiento. Sumamente caliente el lugar. La pasé mal pues me resfríe.
- Stefano (10/5): - Vista delle camere sulla costa, piscina e zona relax, disponibilità del personale.
- Mikaela (10/5): - It was very clean and the location is perfect!!! We left a tag so the room can be cleaned and it was done so in a few minutes! Staff is the friendliest and most helpful ever and the place has great views!! Highly reccommend!!
- Jorge (10/5): Fabuloso - La habitación y el trato del personal. Agradable y cercano. Nada, todo estaba en orden.
- Willemijn (7/5): - Het appartement was enorm ruim, mooie badkamer, schoon, goede airco Het hotel is ingeklemd tussen twee drukke wegen. Firostefani en Fira zijn op loopafstand maar of via drukke weg zonder voetpad of steil omhoog
- Riccardo (7/5): - Posizione comoda per la passeggiata da Fira
- Alicia (8/5): Buena estancia - Que hubiera una habitacion separada para matrimonio, y estar enfrente de la piscina
- Stefania (8/5): Personale gentilissimo e disponibile! Bella vista, letto comodo, camera e bagno puliti. -
- Chiara (10/5): Exceptional - Everything is perfect!
- Wei (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ciaran (8/5): Very good - The room was clean and comfortable although a bit small. The room was quite small and the cooking/ eating area was very cramped....but it was a studio apartment.
- Vanessa (8/5): Cute apartment near Fira. - The apartment hotel is cute, the bed superb comfy, really clean, you have a little balcony with a hanger where you can let dry stuff from the beach/pool.
Nice small pool. It was a lovely detail the basket with coffee and toasts. The don't offer pool towels, for the price this would have be nice. No enough paper roll, had to way my own.
- Patricia (10/5): Lovely Place & People 👏🏾🫶🏾🙏🏾 - Eva & George are absolutely Lovely Hosts 👏🏾🫶🏾
The fact that Eva & George had a Studio Room available at such short notice, was really a Blessing 🤩👏🏾🙏🏾
The Room was Nice & Clean & the Sea view was to die for..👏🏾👏🏾
The amenities- Tea & Coffee, Snacks 👏🏾
Apartments are in a quiet area, which was nice & not too far from the Shops & Restaurants….
Great Find for a Nice Holiday 🏖️🌞 The fact that I had to leave …
- Stavros (6/5): Pleasant -
- Jean (8/5): Very good -
- Maria (7/5): Good - Nice and clean apartment, 2 balconies with nice views, comfy beds. Location was further from the centre (Fira) than I anticipated. But there is a bus stop very close by.
- Slavena (9/5): Hosts that make you feel like home - Such a lovely kind staff, made us feel like home! The rooms were comfortable and the kitchen corner had everything you might need. We were lucky to not be on the side of the road and had a gorgeous view of the island and sea. The swimming pool was also very pleasant. If your room is on the side of the road, I’d imagine your stay will be a bit less pleasant.
- Albert (6/5): Great staff, but it wasn't clean. - Great staff.
Very close to the main strip in Thira.
The room/apartment size was great. Strong sewage smell from the bathroom, so it was awful coming back to the room in the evening.
I kept finding loose hair all over the room. Even in the towels.
- Lucinda (9/5): Superb -
- Barbara (9/5): Great value with a warm welcome - Very warm welcome although we were quite late arriving Room was very clean and comfortable
Short walk from restaurants
Small pool was a bonus too. Thank you Our room was a little noisy as near a busy street but still we enjoyed our stay
- Datevik (9/5): Superb -
- Kenny (10/5): Great stay at a great place! - The property was perfect. They had a nice pool, and it’s pretty well located to restaurants (~6 minute walk) and downtown (~13 minute walk). The staff and receptionist was incredibly kind and did everything they could to ensure we had a comfortable stay. They do offer daily room cleaning as well for free. We would highly recommend. Wifi was about 20-30mbps, so it could have been a little better. Also, the roads around the area don’t really have sidewalks so you will just walk on the side of the road. Sauna wasn’t up and running when we were there, but it was off-season.
- Joe (7/5): Decent Place, But Overpriced - Clean rooms. Bed was comfortable. WiFi was fine. Overpriced for what you get - rooms aren't that big, the location is out of town, the view isn't amazing, considering it's Santorini. I'd stay somewhere cheaper or pay a bit more for a better location next time.
Also if you're not on the top floor you get woken up by someone scraping their chair over your ceiling every morning.
- Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
- Giulia (8/5): Very good - Short walking to beautiful Caldera cliffs, friendly staff! Very nice view from our room.
We enjoyed our stay in Erato apt
- Anonymous (7/5): Good - Clean, comfortable and great location to walk into Thira.
- Richard (6/5): Ok -
- Roisin (9/5): Excellent. We will be back! - The place is clean & spacious. It’s about 15/20 mins walk into Fira which could probably be tough if you have mobility issues but was fine for us (& sometimes we wore heels doing it!). You can also walk to Firostefani in 5 mins to grab some food during the day. The staff are so lovely and helpful, room was cleaned daily and the pool area is lovely. It’s handy that you can buy drinks and they do not charge a premium. The view from the balcony & pool area could be nicer however for the price, the location is really good so I would definitely stay again. There is only a fridge, kettle and coffee machine so I would not call it self catering. There also wasn’t a supermarket within easy walking distance.
- Laura (8/5): Fabulous - Fabulous staff!
Great position!
Very clean spaces. A real gem!
Thank you Peteoula and all
the others for making our first stay in Santorini so enjoyable! Free coffee in the morning was a great!☺️ -
- Anonymous (8/5): Very good - Provider all your essentials for a good price Non-refundable and lack of stores around the area for food and everyday items
- Zena (8/5): Very good - The property had great facilities, maintained and very clean. Staff were helping in telling us how to get around. Location was about a 10min walk from the main area. Room was perfectly set up, split room with 2 bathrooms. Shower was amazing.
- Yasmin (3/5): Poor - Good location in Thira Very noisy, next to the street and guests come home at night and wake you up
- Marwan (8/5): Very good -
- Natalia (10/5): Exceptional -
- Molly (9/5): Superb -
- Shira (9/5): Really good experience, good value for money and great location - Location is great - about 15 minutes walk from Fira's bus station, and about 5 minutes walk from the scenic walk so you can walk the distance from Fira while still enjoying the views. Staff is really welcoming and informative. The room had all necessities, even clothespins, and bathroom had a nice design. Hope to come back again.
- Lucia (8/5): Good value for money - Great view and pool. Good value for money There 's no really a kitchen, but only a fridge and waffle maker
- Anonymous (10/5): Loved it - Very friendly staff Nothing
- Harris (10/5): Exceptional -
- Karen (8/5): Nice location not too far from the Fira centre. - The location was good. It might have been more convenient to stay in Fira, but to be honest this area was nice because it was away from the hustle and bustle. Rentals tend to be cheaper in this area for ATVs and scooters too. There was a pool but it was too cold at the time to use it. We walked, took the bus, and rented scooters to get around. If you're getting here via transit prepare to take 2 short buses and to walk a tiny bit to the property. The only issue we had was getting consistent hot water, but to be honest 90% of our accommodations in Greece were like that. The kitchen was equipped with some basics.
- Manish (8/5): Very good -
- Mark (5/5): No bag drop - not happy! - Clean and secure. Reasonable size room for Europe. Situated adjacent to a very noisy road - beware!
We arrived in Santorini at 0800, and Erato would NOT allow us to leave our bags at their large reception area or indeed anywhere on their property until 3pm check in time. NOT happy!
- Carolyn (8/5): Lovely Apartments - Lovely accommodation, we had originally booked an apartment for two but on arrival felt it was too small. Managed to pay extra to upgrade to a larger maisonette room which we loved, staff sorted out with no problem, large balcony. It was a bonus having a pool. Staff were very helpful and accommodation was extremely clean. Situated on a busy road with no pavements, bit noisy at times but earplugs help. Was a difficult walk to the caldera, choice of busy road or a steep hill, needed torch at night for safety. Sunbeds could've done with a clean.
- Rasheen (9/5): Superb -
- Jenny (10/5): Exceptional -
- Brian (9/5): Superb -
- Linda (10/5): Overall…Deloghtful!! - Great staff…walkable to Fira. Lovely room with very nice view. Traffic noise.
- David (8/5): Very good -
- Kristen (3/5): Property was clean but the location is terrible. Located at a very busy intersection. Noisy trucks and traffic right out - Property was clean, bathroom was nice, staff was very helpful and friendly. The property is located at a very busy intersection. The shared terrace is on the street level and there were cars, buses, and large trucks going by at high speeds at all hours of the day and night. Very noisy and hectic.
- Andreas (10/5): Exceptional -
- Brooke (9/5): Superb -
- Nothing2personal (9/5): A lovely little property - Very friendly staff and most helpful during check in. Clean comfy room. A bit far of a walk to the main area of Firo, but quite nice if you have the time. The pool is a bit exposed to the street.
- Billy (8/5): Nice base to explore firostefani, fira and the other caldera villages. Comfortable stay. - Nice little apartment short walk to firostefani. Had all you could need in terms of kitchen and comfort. Pool was a nice bonus. A bit of an uphill walk returning from fira.
- Ousiou (6/5): Nowhere to sit outside Too much noise polution - Too much noise,due to the main road.Literaly cars running 3 meters away from our balcony.Could not sit outside.Could bot open our window.
Plus there is no common use area where you can sit and enjoy being outside.For me that's very important.
- Mohamed (10/5): Exceptional -
- Nangirril (9/5): Superb - Great location. It is easy to meet the dawn. Within walking distance from the most beautiful places, institutions and the old port. Fortunately, this was not the case.
- Urszula (9/5): The apartment has a pool, great wifi, the location is perfect if you want to visit Thira, Imerovigli. Good bus connectio - Very clean, nice personel, extremely helpful, open and smiling, you want to come back to such people! One more thing- great wi-fi :) Everything was fine
- Olivia (9/5): Great accommodation - definitely stay here! - The location is great being just on the edge of Thira. Makes getting around easy but also gives you the luxury of being away from the hustle and bustle. The staff there are amazing and very welcoming and accommodating. The pool was perfect after a beach day or if you just feel like having a chill one. Would highly recommend staying here while you’re in Santorini! Nothing that necessarily stood out. All I can say is that this place is as good as it looks :)
- Tanya (8/5): Very good -
- Migle (8/5): Very good - Great facilities,friendly staff, nice pool, kitchenette and stove were a big plus. Location could be a bit better.
- Catherine (9/5): Superb - Lovely staff
- Síria (10/5): Very pleasant experience - Beautiful view for the sunrise from the room's balcony. Amazing staff and good location, very quiet place
- Charlotte (9/5): Superb -
- Michaela (10/5): Exceptional - pool, clean room and very nice bathroom, quiet place
- Pamela (9/5): Superb -
- Pietro (10/5): Exceptional - Comfortable rooms and very nice position. The staff is very kind, they helped us to sort out a complicated issue with a quad rental company. Highly recommended
- Jensen (10/5): loved the staff and location. would recommend it based off of that, but if you are looking for a place to spend a lot of - the location is perfect! easy short walking distance to Fira or Firastfani
staff is AMAZING! very helpful and personable the bed was hard and the pillow was hardly there. everything was a bit out of date but we knew that going in, and didn’t anticipate staying inside but only to sleep.
- Shannan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Haridas (9/5): Best located, easy access n value for money n kind staff - spacious, location , walking distance to Cable car to old port, Fira bus station n Imerovigli. Do not provide pool n beach towels, no restaurant at property
- Georgina (9/5): Superb -
- Alice (10/5): Kind, helpful staff. Prestine rooms. Great location. Lovely pool. -
- Mia (9/5): . - the hotel was absolutely great. great location near ferostefani village and bus stop located at the front of the hotel to get you to oía. short up/down hill walk into fira. pool was very nice and great to have a sun lounge to lay on after. would definitely stay again
