Very different! Don't be surprised when the taxi drops you off in a random place where you don't see the hotel and these two guys come and get your luggage and take off these meandering streets while you follow them wondering what's happening. That's Oia! Meandering streets up and down so you have to be in good shape or take small breaks here and there. The "cave" rooms are on the cliff but once you get there is breathtaking! Fey will take care of your needs. Take advantage of the free breakfast that they can bring to your room (sorry, no restaurant on site) and be ready to enjoy it in the little patio while enjoying the magnificent view. You can order anything from the extensive menu and everything it's absolutely delicious! We had eggs, two little sausages, fruit with yogurt, a basket of breads, two Greek pastries, plus orange juice and coffee every day and it was lovely. The decor is simple and charming and we slept like babies on the comfortable king size mattress and soft, fluffy pillows. The bathroom was equipped with the essential toiletries. I especially loved the smell of the soap and body lotion (didn't try the shampoo/conditioner as I brought my own,) There is a little hot tub outside the room but we didn't get too use it. You will love Oia (pronounced EE-ah) and its meandering streets with awesome sea views and your stay at Armenaki.

Nothing more

Great location and staff was amazing and helpful.

I cannot say enough about our stay at Armenaki. The room was impeccable, spacious and even nicer than what we expected. That rarely happens! Our view was perfect and the breakfast delivered to our room each morning was delicious. The staff was incredible- always helpful with recommendations and any requests. One note is there are many stairs required to get down to the hotel and then back up to the town. As long as you know that, you will love Armenaki. Staff actually helps to bring your luggage up and down to your room upon arrival and departure. If we are able to return to Oia, we would absolutely stay at the Armenaki!

Everything was perfect!

An amazong stay with Fei and the rest of the staff!!!

Amazing service and location!

The staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a phenomenal stay. The guys helping with the luggage are amazing. Thank you.

This hotel was stunning. The service was incredible as were the views and accommodations.

Gorgeous room with the most beautiful views. The staff made the check in seamless and our departure as well: with help carrying luggage to and from room and getting to our pickup. The breakfast was incredible too. The plunge pool was sooo nice. I highly recommend this hotel for the classic Santorini experience and out standing service.

Amazing hotel! Lots of stairs. There’s help with luggage which made it worth all the stairs!!!

The view of the caldera is amazing, and so is the plunge pool. The breakfast is sumptuous and delicious. The porters carried our luggage down those steep steps and are the true heroes of this hotel!

Our stay at Armenaki was a dream come true. The Residence Room we stayed in was beyond wonderful—the pool was huge and the room itself had 4 showers! The AC was chilly and refreshing (adjustable) and we got great sleeps on the comfy beds. The point person Fei was top notch—helpful, accommodating, kind, and had great follow through booking a few reservations for us in advance. We couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful stay in Santorini!

STAY HERE! We had the most incredible 4-night stay here and highly recommend this hotel. It has the most amazing views, super modern rooms, the more incredible staff, free breakfasts that hit the spot, and absolutely no complaints. The staff were truly incredible; they helped us with our baggage, were super responsive when we called, and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. My mom had hurt herself on our way to check in, and the woman at the front was ready with supplies to bandage her up and checked on her health throughout the trip. The view alone is worth the stay, but the service made us never want to leave!

Excellent view and location, can beautiful see the landscape. Staff are all very nice, they will carry your luggage. As it is my birthday trip they prepare some fruit for me!!!! They also keep and delivered my luggage to the bus stop after I checked out. Excellent experience and service!!!!

I stayed here for 3 nights in one of their suites. It was a pre- birthday treat, and it was fantastic. They met us at the pre- arranged drop off point and the porters carried our heavy suitcases on their shoulders, through the town and down the windy steps which eventually led to the hotel. We would have really struggled! Our accommodation was stunning, with a large bedroom, and a separate large lounge area. We had a large hot tub, which was the perfect temperature to relax in, and a lovely outdoor space where we ate breakfast (delivered to the room) or sunbathed whilst enjoying the stunning views. We also had a sauna, although we didn’t use it. There was a 24hr reception, and the main receptionist was really lovely and so helpful. She booked us a meal at one of the Ammoudi bay restaurants and also booked us on a sunset cruise, which we loved.

Fay is an incredible host! This place is a dream come true

Location is perfect,

The hotel itself was absolutely gorgeous - the views breathtaking! The staff went over and above to make our weekend and my proposal perfect!! Highly highly recommend!!

Amazing accommodation, view, food, facilities, location and staff.. I would 100% stay here again. Very recommended.
