Honeymoon stay
Great place to stay in Oia! We were there for our honeymoon and George was overall very good at helping us. We had a few issues and generally he got back to us quite quickly. The place was nice, but a few minor flaws. No kitchen properly and the honeymoon room is very nice, but a bit cramped at the top. Careful not to hit your head. The hot tub is great but it is quite small and there is a small caldera view, but it is obstructed. This is reasonable given the prime location. Great to stay for a one off special occasion or treat!

Outstanding stay, amazing views and service
Great location, close to everything in oia you might want. Amazing view of the caldera and the sea from the outside area. We actually got takeaway sometimes so we could maximize our own view / setting, so lovely eating outside on there, and being able to go into the hottub. Very clean room, it's cozy but fine for 2 people, especially when you have all the private outside space where you want to spend your time. Amenities provided including hair dryer and iron. Breakfast was good and plentiful. The olive omelette was the best, but they changed it a little every day for variety. Ioannis who looked after us was very personable, always going above and beyond to help with absolutely anything we might need. He has even helped me with an item Ieft behind - although no guest should expect this! Very high quality, I'm very impressed.

Property was in the perfect location. the two young men that was with us from the beginning of our stay until the end was very accommodating, helpful and efficient . they helped us with our luggages when we got there and when we left . their names Niko and Tonis. recommended places to eat, transportation options, etc!! We stayed at the honeymoon villa and it was perfect! Room was perfectly cleaned everyday. I would stay at this location again if we go back. Hoping the two young men will be there.

Probably the best experience you could ask for from a hotel. The manager and staff were amazing almost acting like a tour guide for us telling us what to see and where to eat. Super friendly and accommodating. Incredible ocean front view, clean room, comfy bread, incredible breakfast platter served to us bright and early. They even gave us a ride to Fira and the airport at a very reasonable rate. Highly recommend this hotel if you're staying in Oia!

The Dream honeymoon apartment was fantastic! Very clean, very central, lovely views. The 2 guys who look after the property and run the taxi service were so nice, and very helpful. The breakfast they brought us every day was amazing too. You can hear people in the apartment above and we did see them a few times, plus people walked past the terrace along the path whilst we were there quite a lot, however you have to expect that when you're in such a central position, and it didn't bother us or intrude on us too much.

You can never go wrong if you booked on this hotel, superb staffs John and Nick. John has given us a great private tour of the area and we enjoyed our exchange of stories while on the road. The hotel location is at its best, good view during sunrise and walking distance to see the sunset. The room was immaculately clean, with complete bathroom supply and kitchen utensils. The petite room is perfect for couples, and was designed well by John, glad he had placed so many outlets. What fascinates us was the window, morning til night the view from the outside are picturesqly alive :) Nick is always on time for our daily superb breakfast. Awesome, awesome, awesome... We will definitely recommend this hotel 👍👍👍

It was like a dream come true. The view from our heated jacuzzi is just breathtaking. The room is clean and modernly decorated. It has everything you need. We were welcomed by John and assisted us with our luggages when we met at the bus stop. Its a 7 min walk, and a short walk to everything nice in Oia. It was a wonderful stay!

Amazing hotel in Oia
My wife and I booked our stay at The Dream and we couldn’t be happier with the decision. The rooms were very charming, breakfast was brought to us every morning, and we had a private balcony with a small pool overlooking the water. It wa such a relaxing experience. Ioannis, the hotel manager, was amazing. He was on call day and night and quickly responded to a variety of requests. He even arranged a last minute boat tour for my wife and I. Ioannis really made our stay special and we had a great time at the hotel.

We had a wonderful stay at The Dream! We had stayed on the southern part of the island for the majority of our trip, and wanted to stay in Oia at least one night, to experience the sunset, and local dining without having to take a 45 min transport back. The Dream didn’t not disappoint! The location was perfect, as we were right Where the best place to see the sunset is, and while there were some stairs to get to the room, it was considerably less than most other places we had looked at. The best part of booking with The Dream was our interactions with Ioannis! He was so helpful, and informative. He even picked us up at our original hotel, and took us to the airport at 3am so we could catch an early flight out! We couldn’t have been happier staying here. The only thing I regret, is missing out on what sounds like a delicious brunch spread in the morning! Thank you for everything Ioannis and The Dream!

Lovely stay amongst the domes
We had a lovely few days staying at the dream. Great location, right within the famous blue domes. We had really nice evenings walking around Oia. The hot tub is just the right temperature to be refreshing in the heat. A nice breakfast is delivered every morning, as long as other nice little touches such as toiletries, cold water always waiting in the fridge and help with your luggage at check in and check out.

Tiny villa , needs updating in a noise location.
Due to its nature being near the best SUNSET location in Santorini, it’s always busy around Here . It’s noisy, congested and very touristy. Therefore all the shops are very expensive, as are the restaurants, which are highly overrated & overpriced. Went there , done it . Don’t think I will ever go again .

Clean and private with a lot of traditional character.
The honeymoon studio apartment of The Dream was very clean and comfortable, comfortable bed, and well appointed on a high standard while maintaining a traditional feel. It is excellently located yet amazingly quiet. There is a jetted tub on the private balcony with a view of the sea but it maintains privacy (a rare thing in Oia), where no one can look down on you or see you from the sides. The studio has plenty of lovely natural light, sometimes a hard thing to find in the cave houses. George and John could not have been more pleasant or helpful, both very accommodating and tending to all our needs and requests. We had a wonderful stay at The Dream and missed it when we left. We would definitely stay there again.

Fantastic room, location and staff!
We came here last minute on our honeymoon and had the most perfect time. The suite was beautiful, clean and comfortable and the hot tub in the patio was fantastic with the most incredible view. The staff, George and John, were amazing and took care of our transfers, check-in (as there is currently no reception area), early access to the room as we arrived at 8am, and answered all our questions in a friendly and helpful way. Their recommendations for places to visit and restaurants were spot on which meant we had the most magical time in Santorini. The location is excellent for exploring Oia and near the bus station to take you to the rest of the island. We can't recommend this place enough, particularly for couples on a romantic holiday or honeymoon. Thank you, George and John, for helping make our stay so brilliant!

Perfect for couples
We were there with family (4 yr old) for a night. Excellent location next to everything with brilliant views from the property. The place had a private terrace with decks though it's hard to describe it as private as the place outside is swarming with tourists due to the view. George was very nice and helpful. Not entirely ideal for families with young children as the terrace does not offer any protection for curious kids. Room facilities were excellent and well maintained. Breakfast was good and is brought to the room. A short distance from the bus stop but a few steps so best arrange a transfer with the property or let them know when you get there so they can help you with the luggage.

Breathtaking!
The Dream is amazing! The location is breathtaking! The Dream is located in Oia Village where everyone goes to take their photos. (Be prepared for that if you are on your veranda). In Summer it's crazy! Downstairs is another world. A beautiful, quiet cave with an amazing pool/spa to enjoy. The service was incredible too. My porter - John was so helpful and provided all the necessary supermarkets items immediately for me.

Hidden gem in the center of it all
The room itself was more like an apartment and was a quiet, cool, and comfortable escape from the busy town. The hotel staff went above in beyond, reaching out to us the day before our stay to arrange ground transportation and making sure a greeter was waiting when we arrived to Oia. It was steps away from the main walkway in Oia, but quiet and secluded. Do not skip the complementary breakfast! It was a feast of fresh Greek food with something for everyone.

Wonderful hotel just steps off the main road. Private balcony looks out on the iconic Oia view. Hotel owners Noh and asa meet you at the entrance of Oia and accompany you to the location. When you found a corner and see the incredible view you've arrived. Hotel is new and all amenities are the most modern. Great breakfast provided just down the street. This hotel is a treasure!

Amazing Owners Beautiful View
I have never written a review for anything before but this stay was just that good. We were walking down the cobblestone pathway and get to your classic blue dome building with a view. We ask the man carrying our bags to stop while we took a picture and he just smiled and said "that is your hotel." There was a door right there and we stepped in and it had the most gorgeous view, as evidenced by the fact that we had people over our heads taking photos at all times (in fact, people would ask us to let them onto our balcony to take pictures). Our stay was very personalized, we were given a cell phone and were told that John and Vaso were available 24/7 and even though we never called they would check up on us multiple times a day. They even took us on a driving tour of the country to get us to Fira. They told us every restaurant to eat at and everything to see. Although all hotels tell you where to go and what to see this didn't feel like a hotel because for us it was done over coffee or while we just talked like friends. The room itself had a private jacuzzi, which was awesome especially at night when there was a chilly breeze, it had the best linens, great wifi, comfortable bed and a full kitchen. It honestly felt as though I was in my own apartment, not a hotel. Overall I would highly recommend this place and I would go back again.
