This beautiful new property offers stunning views and excellent hospitality from the family owners, but faces significant accessibility challenges due to its steep hillside location requiring transport for most activities. While most guests love the peaceful setting and modern amenities, recent reports of a cockroach, sewer odors, and thin walls preventing restful sleep raise concerns about the property's readiness for consistent quality stays.
🚩 Red Flags
“The cleanliness: we found a cockroach in the bathroom”
“Maybe some strange smell from bathroom, but it us new facility so I believe they will fix the gaps and cosmetic details soon”
“Then the sewer smell. I think due to the way the island plumbing works but we had two rooms and when we would return we had air out the rooms because it smelled of sewer”
“The room reeked of cigarettes”
“The walls in the room were very thin. So much so, that whenever me and friend would talk to each other between the hours of 9pm-9am the next door residents would bang loudly on our shared middle door”
“When we stayed for one night the was a few girls having a party above us until 5 am and we could hear it very loudly. Doors banging, music pumping, high heels walking around etc. So really disturbed our sleep to be honest”
“Our room was just next to the reception. We heard everything, which wasn't necessarily pleasant. (Departures, arrivals, others)”
“Room poorly soundproofed”
“Not so much the accommodation itself but where it's located is down a steep road so going up to the supermarket, bus stop or town takes a little bit of effort so best to have a car or transport”
“The only thing that was a challenge was the hill from the property to Imorvigli. It's very steep & without footpaths on a busy road”
“The walk to town is quite steep and no sidewalk”
“I would warn future visitors that the hotel is on the east side of the island so it is a Very steep walk up to the main road and over to the west side where the town and restaurants are located. The walk also includes a Very narrow road that is heavily traveled by cars and vans”
“Very steep hill 700meteres up to the town. So need to get taxi or transport if you don't want to be very sweaty after the walk”
“The location is down a very steep hill which you need to walk up to get to the caldera or a shop”
“The location is quite remote and at the bottom of a very large hill so I highly recommend renting a vehicle or atv if you are not a hiker”
“A little out of the way. Need transportation to get to Fira and Oia”
“Location, on steep hill over 1 km from centre of Imerovigli, no path up busy road. Definitely need own transport, taxi's expensive”
“The access to the village via a steep road and with traffic, without sidewalk”
