Hotel was located In oia, the nicest part of Santorini, in the cliffs with an amazing caldera view and walking distance to all restaurants and shops. I am so glad I did not stay in the town below (Imerovigli) because it is too far away. however, santorini secret is above the walking Path, not below it so it is not as private because everyone walking by can see you in your lounge chairs /pool. you do have access to the main hotel below and their pool, I would have preferred to stay down there. The location was very hot with absolutely no breeze at all but I think that is all of Oia. The hotel staff and service was top notch and we loved having breakfast delivered to our patio every morning. The room was very clean.
