Senses Suites

The Senses Boutique Hotel was absolutely incredible. The location in Imerovigli was perfect. I recommend this town because it is quiet and quaint but close to Oia and Fira. The staff was amazing and would bring you a first-class breakfast every morning. Diana was a wonderful person to help us with our stay, and the Master Cave Suite was just fabulous. It had a big bad for my wife and I, and then my 16 year old daughter was able to stay in the Loft above. There was even more room downstairs for other people if they needed to sleep. The place was clean and well maintained, and the cave room was an incredibly unique experience. The pool was great, and the views of the Caldera may be the best on Santorini. I would highly recommend staying at the Senses Boutique Hotel.

What a beutiful hotel and view to the, amazing, crater and to the beautiful white buildings of the island! Amazing service and breakfast served to the room! With a great varieaty of food served fresh and with amazing timing! And a special thanks to the amazing host Naiana, very helpfull and kind going out of her way to ensure everything was to our liking!

Pros: Stunning Views: Our Elegant Double Room with Caldera View did indeed offer good views of the caldera from inside and the outside seating area. The presence of a wall provides a certain level of privacy, but also means 180 degrees of vision. The view from the pool are also breathtaking. Easy Transfers: Arranging a hotel transfer was seamless, and the taxi driver exhibited the Greek warmth and friendliness one hopes for when visiting. Unique Aesthetic: If you're a fan of quirky colours and non-traditional decor, this hotel will be right up your alley. Convenient Location: The hotel is situated towards the top of the cliff, unlike some hotels that require a considerable hike down many steps. Cons: Small Bathroom: The bathroom/shower in our room is rather small, which might be inconvenient for some guests. Limited Breakfast Options: While breakfast is varied daily, it is fixed, which may not cater sufficiently to all dietary requirements, even if some adjustments are made. No 24-Hour Reception: The lack of a 24-hour reception can be problematic. Notably, there is no secure luggage storage after 3 pm, which is inconvenient if you have a late flight. Housekeeping Issues: The cleaning staff did not replace a large number of items, causing difficulty during breakfast and frustration due to insufficient towels. The absence of a 24-hour reception made it hard to resolve these issues promptly. Senses Boutique Hotel is located in Imerovigli, a quieter area of Santorini, but you can get to Fira in about 30 minutes via a scenic walk. The area offers a selection of restaurants, some with caldera views. There is a bus service to Oia from a stop down the hill (not the main stop in town which is to Fira), though return trips from Oia may require a stop in Fira. Overall, while Senses Boutique Hotel offers a unique and picturesque setting in Santorini, the numerous shortcomings and inconveniences significantly detract from the overall experience.

The room was on the small size but would be typical for Santorini. The breakfasts delivered to the room each morning were delightful. Lots of variety and more food than you can eat. The pool is very nice and appears to be larger than most. Staff were very friendly and accommodating.
