Everyone made me feel very welcome and even got a better room than booked as there was availability. The only 2 things I would comment on is that the shower is quite small and the curtains should be a bit darker as in the morning the room gets quite bright, but overall good value for money in Santorini. ##### Daniel Stayed 2 nights in May 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### salvo, Caltanissetta 12 Sept 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Buon hotel a 500 mt dal mare Hotel grazioso, Sofia ( la titolare ) gentilissima ... ci ha aiutato in tutto Bravissima !!!! ##### salvo Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dawn, london, UK 12 Aug 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Very friendly little hotel We loved our stay at Santa Elena.

Sophia and her staff were so lovely and very helpful. We had a room over looking the pool the views were amazing, as were the lovely gardens. Would definitely recommend this hotel. ##### Mel&Michelle Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ian 4 Jul 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Very good hotel & pool area, good breakfast and very good staff with lot of information.About 10 / 15 min walk to the beach. ##### Ian Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### stacy , los angeles ca 3 Oct 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great Hotel I so enjoyed this hotel. Perfect location and great staff! ##### stacy Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Si, London 20 Sept 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Very Pleasant, Would Recommend I stayed for four nights at Santa Elena Sofia, owner of the hotel, contacted me two days prior to my arrival, to ask whether I needed transport to hotel from the airport. This cost 20 euros and the journey took around 15 minutes. The alternative is the take a bus to Fira, and then take another bus from the same stop, to Kamari, where the hotel is. This will cost 1.80 per part, so 3.60 in total, and is what I did on the day of my flight back home. Sofia, and her brother Yannis, speak sound English, and were happy to help me with organizing my daily activities. By the reception is a timetable for the buses to Fira, the airport etc, and information of quadbike rentals. Sofia also has a number of different brochures and leaflets on tours, such as of the Caldera, which I high recommend you visit. My room was on the second floor, with a balcony and a view of the front garden and pool. It was very well maintained, I could not fault it. The front garden is full a sub-tropical plants, trees, and flowers, and the pool is of a good size and surrounded by plenty of seating. The continental breakfast includes mixed fruit, melon, a number of confectionaries, boiled eggs, ham, etc, basically a healthy selection, and eating outside made the experience even better. Finally, the town, Kamari, has a very nice black-sand beach, with numerous (40+) restaurants, cafes, bars, along it. To one side, there is also a high cliff, where old Thira is. All in all, a great experience! ##### Si Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### Bojan, London 12 Sept 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice hotel 10 min from beach Nice place with helpfull owner. We stayed only one night but they were happy to help us with everything we needed. Hotel is about 10-15 min walk from the main beach, if you can't be bothered walking you can always rent a quad or a car to drive around. Hotel has a nice and clean pool also if you decide to stay in for the day. Breakfast is ok, nothing extraordinary but freshly prepared and good for the price. Personally I would prefer to be a bit closer to the beach but otherwise I would definitely recommend Santa Elena. ##### Bojan Stayed 1 night in Sep 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dave, uk 10 Sept 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Very nice quiet hotel / Aparhotel Great stay at Santa Elena. Wonderfully quiet hotel, or maybe an Aparthotel, Yannis and Sophia are really good hosts - the only reason I say it could be an Aparthotel, is there is no hotel bar or restaurant. Not a massive issue as the town is only a 10 minute walk away, but sometimes it;s nice to have one for the road at a bar on site, or even a drink of something when you're around the pool - it is a great pool though. Continental breakfast is very good, with a great choice of the usual fare. Not right in the heart of Kamari, but as stated it's literally an easy 10/12 minute stroll back. All in all a great stay at Santa Elena, and the staff cannot be faulted at all, so nice. ##### Dave Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### Rachel 27 Aug 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities O hotel fica muito bem localizado! Na praia de Kamari... então da pra curtir praia. Fica há alguns minutos de distância de Thira e a meia hora de Oia. Mas pra quem quer ficar pouco e vai curtir esses lugares uma vez só vale a pena. Gostei da praia. Inclusive tem um restaurante ótimo que tbm serve nas barracas. O hotel é simples... nada luxuoso mas para quem vai usar para dormir e descansar está ótimo. O Jannis que é o gerente é ótimo! Muito simpático... nos ajudou muito. Sempre disposto. Foi o melhor do hotel!! ##### Rachel Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### heather, anchorage, ak 23 Aug 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great hospitality!!!
