    Beautiful (just don’t take the old wine cellar room)

    We had the room which was the old wine cellar and while it was beautiful, the drains in the bathroom smelt (obviously it’s an old property so not sure anything can be done about it). There is a jacuzzi in the room, which means you have to have a dehumidifier on at all times and then the AC must be set cold for everything to work.

    I really liked it was traditional. It was very clean and comfortable. The staff were excellent. The location was excellent and it was an incredibly beautiful area.

    Authentic location, tasty refurbishment, unique property.

    The overly active scrutiny by the property manager of who comes and goes at the apartment is quite intrusive. The absolutely no guests policy is a bit draconian.

    The property has been completely refurbished in a minimalist style using a lot of brushed concrete which works really well. It is spotlessly clean and the built in hot tub, with its small but epic view, is a real bonus. The property is centrally located but can only be accessed by foot from the Pyrgos Square (uphill on old cobber streets) which is no problem and kinda nice. But not an easy climb if you have any mobility problems. A unique and special property.

    Unique stay, luxury rooms in historic castle
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Senior Suite with Outdoor Hot Tub
    • Stayed 3 nights

    There are no views directly from the room and also very high humidity. The Castle is half restored which means you have exquisite properties like this abutted to condemned ruins. To be fair, this did add to the magic!

    The bed is huge and super comfortable. The room is dark, quiet and cool - a welcome relief to the hustle and heat of Santorini. The room is almost cavernous, modern and clean. The view from the hot tub is stunning and having visited the whole island, I can say the sunset from here is spectacular. I would recommend staying here and not fighting thousands of tourists for a spot in Oia

    A small 18sqm room with a private outdoor hot tub and an amazing view situated centrally in Pyrgos
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Junior Suite with Outdoor Hot Tub
    • Stayed 4 nights

    The so-called Junior Suite is pretty small for two people. It's not a Suite but more a small room, so don't expect too much from it. Also, the room has an open shower which means water will go everywhere even when you are very careful. The safe is also super-small, so don't expect that you can store more than your passport and very small items in it. There is no wardrobe to put any clothes, only a rack with a few hangers. Overall, we feel that the price of the room is too high for what you get.

    The view from the room and the outdoor hot tub were amazing! It is very centrally located in the town of Pyrgos, Santorini. We also liked that the room featured a Nespresso coffee machine and complimentary body wash, body lotion and shampoo. The location was very quiet. The description of how to get to the location was very accurate – you need to be prepared to climb some stairs up the hill.

    Breakfast not included, not good and expansive (20€ each). You have to park the car quite far from the structure and it's hard to reach with the luggage (no services to help you with the luggage).

    Everything was great!!

    Was a great size and beautiful location in the very scenic village of Pyrgos. The jacuzzi is lovely and warm and has a great view of the sunrise and sunset. Short walk to the property from where the taxi drops you, however prepare to walk up a bit of a steep hill, nothing too strenuous though. Some great restaurants around and a small supermarket too. Christine who completes the check-in is absolutely amazing, always there when you need her and suggested some great places. It would not have been the same without her!!

    Beautiful accommodation, in a fantastic location. Close to some gorgeous restaurants in our favourite town in Sorrento. Plenty to do close by but quiet enough you can enjoy your holiday with out the crowds. Gorgeous view from the room and the hot tub Christine could not have been more helpful, suggesting local places to eat and things to see and do. Clean and well kept property. We had a fabulous stay

    The listing was very misleading and the apartment was unsatisfactory, unhealthy and unsafe
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Cave Suite with Indoor Hot Tub
    • Stayed 2 nights

    The listing was misleading. The information we got only once we had booked states that “you'll have to walk from the main road for about 5 minutes. Half distance is stairs and half distance slightly uphill walk.” The walk took 15-20 minutes. Part of it is up a steep broken path and part is up stairs set into a sloping smooth path. The walk is dangerous, very difficult, and very tiring, and was made even more so by the heat and by the luggage. The distant view is of the sea. One cannot see the village from the apartment. There is no city view or street view as stated in the listing. The view outside the cave suite is of a hen run and waste ground with some building debris. Roosters can be heard all day. There is no private balcony or patio. The hot tub never worked and is not accessible to all. Too small - the steps are not high enough. Too tall – one struggles between the top of the hot tub and the ceiling. The hot tub generates a lot of humidity and so there was a de-humidifier, not what one might expect. This was extremely noisy and sleep was difficult. It also didn’t work well. The mirrors were permanently steamed up, the walls were continually damp, and the floor had small pools of water, making it very slippery and unsafe. A smell of damp pervaded the accommodation. Lighting inside the cave suite was poor. There was often no Wi-Fi connection. The bathroom had only a handheld shower and one towel hook. The fan in the windowless bathroom was inadequate, there was no bidet, and there was a faint smell of sewage in that room. The communal area was very poorly furnished – 2 plastic chairs for 4 properties, no sunbeds or umbrellas. There was the mini-pool – but it was not for us to use. Thus, with the noise, lack of light and humidity inside the apartment, there was absolutely nowhere to relax outside. Manager Christina said that she was not responsible for fixing problems. She was also rude. The general manager Aris was unhelpful and confrontational.

    ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! This property is honestly like slipping into a magical dream! The room was extremely clean and fresh with the softest bed you could ask for, it all flowed beautifully into the private outside area with a private hot tub looking over Santorini. The view was picturesque and a memory I will keep forever. It's away from the densely populated tourist areas (but is just a quick bus away) and gives you an authentic Santorini experience. The service from Christine was incredible, she helped us with transfers from the airport and to the port, gave us local recommendations for food and activities which were also wonderful! She even gave us a full history lesson on the origins of the resorted winery! I wish we stayed here longer, perfect for couples, singles or families! We will be returning here for another amazing trip when we can!

    like a lot of places in Santorini, the only way to get there is on foot! a car can take you to a certain point but then you must walk (with luggage)! this could be difficult for some people. the owner offered a donkey service but in the end a kind gentleman came to assist with our luggage!

    spotlessly clean and views to die for! owner extremely helpful in organising transport for us and happy to help with every query we had.

    Wonderful stay in Pyrgos
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Senior Suite with Outdoor Hot Tub
    • Stayed 14 nights

    The road leading up to the apartment is very steep and bumpy. Although we were warned about this, it was a lot steeper and longer than we expected with suitcases, make sure they have good wheels on them. Would not be suitable for elderly or people with limited mobility. Getting around in the village and walking to the square is only possible on foot.

    The accommodation was very spacious for 2 people. We stayed for 14 nights and the only downside was the lack of wardrobe and drawer space. Only 3 hangers. This is probably ok for most people who have shorter stays. The walk in wet room shower was lovely and tea and coffee making facilities an added bonus + large bottle of water provided every day in the fridge. The outdoor hot tub was fantastic and we had a wonderful view of the Caldera. Lovely garden area to sit and relax with glass of wine in the evening and take in the view. The room and the hot tub were cleaned daily and the whole place was spotless. Maria was a great host and very responsive to any queries. She arranged car hire and restaurant bookings and was very helpful with suggestions of where to go and what to see. The village of Pyrgos is very picturesque and there are lots of places to eat and drink within walking distance of the apartment. However the paths are very steep in places and bumpy and you’ll need sensible shoes to traverse them. I would definitely recommend this place for couples and honeymooners. Very romantic and peaceful.
