The chat service was very convenient. Food was amazing, bed was very comfortable and toiletries were so good from Korres. If I could pick this hotel up and place it in a more remote location that would be amazing. From the pictures I imagined it would be very private and in a natural setting. But the hotel is in the middle of a town, surrounded by many beach resorts that don’t have the same vibe as Istoria. ##### Andrea ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emily 11 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Quiet, beautiful, and friendly. 10/10\. Istoria was magnificent. It was beautiful and classy. The room was quiet and so well decorated with gorgeous private pool. The hotel pool was also probably the best Ive ever seen, I never wanted to leave and actually preferred it to the ocean that was just outside the front doors. The staff were attentive and so friendly. If you're looking for a beach side stay in a more quiet area of Santorini, this is the choice for you. Its at least a 30min drive to more touristy areas like Oia where you can get your IG shots of stairs and sunsets. But the hotel will book you great tours of those areas as well. Finally, the spa was incredible and well priced. Overall, Id stay here again in a heartbeat. ##### Emily Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alain 20 Jun 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fantastic Experience ! My wife and I had the chance to stay in this hotel for 8 nights for our honeymoon, a couple of days after the opening of this facility. The hotel staff has been very caring, extremely friendly and always ready to provide a quality of service above and beyond. The breakfast is delicious and offers a large variety of choices including gluten free options. We booked the Storia Suite which offers a large living space for a couple, separated between a lovely living room and a cozy bedroom with a most comfortable king size bed we ever had. The hidden gem is definitely the fantastic private terrace which has an amazing jetted tub pool with view on the sea for long and refreshing sun tanning experience. The hotel is located just in front of the beach of Perissa and the road along this strip offers options such as restaurants and night club. However we didn't experience any of them as we had a rental car, and we were most of the time away from this area. The only improvement we see is maybe the Wi-Fi connection and coverage, great in some places, but less in others with occasional disconnections. But I am being picky here. Who has time to browse internet while in Santorini? The overall experience has been fantastic, period. I would recommend this hotel to anybody looking for a hotel that offers a surprising experience, in a romantic setting, and surrounded by an excellent staff. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s435-p19520e10-744a-11e8-90f5-02426f8ac431-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Alain Stayed 8 nights in Jun 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Valeria 12 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Esattamente di fronte alla spiaggia, bellissimo.

I would recommend it to anyone I know. The staff went out of their way to not only meet our needs, but exceed them at every turn. The property itself is stunning and it's really the little extras that the staff does (i.e. a cold beverage waiting at your check in) that makes the say beyond wonderful. I'll certainly be back :) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### EV, Connecticut 23 Sept 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We loved everything about this property. The facility is gorgeous. The location is perfect. Mostly the staff is exceptional. They could not do anything more to give us the most perfect stay in Istoria. ##### EV Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 16 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great location right in front of black sand beach. The hot tub in the spa was great and my pregnant wife had a delightful massage. The bartender Kostantinos was very nice by the pool area. We loved the view of the mountain in the morning. The staff was top notch! Only negative is the drink prices are high relative to the neighboring beach bars. Other than that we had a great stay for 2 nights. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Justine 20 May 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Dream stay with friends in Santorini It was amazing.

Staff very attentive and accomodating. Very comfortable environment in the southeast corner of Santorini. Rooms are very comfortable. Private jacuzzi is a nice bonus. Rural area, less populated than further north, Fira, Oui, etc. Cons: No gym on site. Transfer to/fm airport cost extra. Spa services are good but not equivalent to cost. Hotel pool water is cold in September, should be heated. Private jacuzzi is heated, but residents cant adjust temperature to personal comfort levels. ##### Maurice Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mahmoud, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia 4 Jul 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### WOW Where would I start... the welcoming smiling faces of the wonderful staff in all departments ... reception, house keeping, top and all level management... unfortunately I only could remember the names of two Georges... a receptionist and the manager... they resembled the whole nice staff ... My wife and I spent six wonderful nights in this five star hotel... Even though the hotel is brand new ... not a single mistake was encountered ... I also have to mention the food quality... the chef was excellent by all standards... the serving staff were really up to standard... such hospitable people... I planned on a week ( minimum) at this hotel every now and then... It’s location across from the beautiful beach was awesome ... Finally, with a 12 bedroom boutique hotel like Istoria... you can make friends easily... we met two wonderful Swiss friends ( like family to us already ... Markeena and Daniel were just like our sons and daughters... we shared great days together .... Thanks to the whole Istoeia family ❤️ ##### Mahmoud Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thomas 13 Jul 2025 ##### Thomas Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 27 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 23 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Noverian Bios Santorini ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santorini-Hotels-The-Noverian-Bios-Santorini.h4409669.Hotel-Information) > > [Kamari Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santorini-Hotels-Kamari-Beach-Hotel.h986874.Hotel-Information) > > [El Greco Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santorini-Hotels-El-Greco-Resort.h2051835.Hotel-Information) > > [Serenità Luxury Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santorini-Hotels-Cape-Sisu-Suites.h14895427.Hotel-Information) > > [CAVO TAGOO SANTORINI](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santorini-Hotels-CAVO-TAGOO-SANTORINI.h113661013.Hotel-Information) > > [Volcano View Hotel Santorini](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santorini-Hotels-Volcano-View-Hotel-Santorini.h1071551.Hotel-Information) > > [Katikies Santorini - The Leading Hotels Of The World](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santorini-Hotels-Katikies-Santorini-The-Leading-Hotels-Of-The-World.h4056090.Hotel-Information) > > [Brilliance Suites - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santorini-Hotels-Brilliance-Suites.h66597442.Hotel-Information) > > [Atlantis](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santorini-Hotels-Atlantis-Hotel.h2203575.Hotel-Information) > > [Aqua Serenity Luxury Suites - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santorini-Hotels-Aqua-Serenity-Luxury-Suites.h57848671.Hotel-Information) > > [The Saint Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santorini-Hotels-Saint-Legendary-Suites-Spa.h44030205.Hotel-Information) > > [Sun Angelos Oia - Luxury Cave Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lamia-Hotels-Sun-Angelos-Oia.h68772216.Hotel-Information) > > [Santo Pure Oia Suites & Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santorini-Hotels-Santo-Pure-Oia-Suites-Villas.h12771180.Hotel-Information) > > [Perivolas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santorini-Hotels-Perivolas.h980645.Hotel-Information) > > [Armenaki - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santorini-Hotels-Armenaki.h51303968.Hotel-Information) > > [Orama Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santorini-Hotels-Orama-Hotel.h44934031.Hotel-Information) > > [Santorini View](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santorini-Hotels-Highlight-Santorini-View.h38981767.Hotel-Information) > > [Agave Santorini Design Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santorini-Hotels-Agave-Santorini-Design-Boutique-Hotel.h5857685.Hotel-Information) > > [Dome Santorini Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santorini-Hotels-Dome-Santorini-Resort-Spa.h10076108.Hotel-Information) > > [Costa Grand Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santorini-Hotels-Costa-Grand-Resort-Spa.h22632511.Hotel-Information) > > [Suite Sea View with Loft & Private Pool - Siete Mares Luxury Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santorini-Hotels-Suite-Sea-View-With-Loft-Private-Pool-Siete-Mares-Luxury-Suites.h53885904.Hotel-Information) > > [Old Castle Oia - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santorini-Hotels-Old-Castle-Oia.h45047512.Hotel-Information) > > [Blue Sea Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santorini-Hotels-Blue-Sea-Hotel.h4353788.Hotel-Information) > > [Scorpios Beach Santorini](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santorini-Hotels-Scorpios-Beach-Hotel-Apartments-Studios.h1573400.Hotel-Information) > > [Nikki Beach Resort & Spa Santorini](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santorini-Hotels-Nikki-Beach-Resort-Spa-Santorini.h36068793.Hotel-Information) > > [Afroditi Venus Beach Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santorini-Hotels-Afroditi-Venus-Beach-Hotel-Spa.h2686834.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Suite Oia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santorini-Hotels-Cave-Suite-Oia.h28888110.Hotel-Information) > > [Kima Oia Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santorini-Hotels-Kima-Oia-Suites.h2908888.Hotel-Information) > > [ Iliada Odysseas Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santorini-Hotels-Iliada-Hotel.h5637517.Hotel-Information) ---
