Beautiful hotel, but very expensive. Also be very prepared for many stairs like all of Santorini. We arrived and went to pool to wait for our room, while there we decided to have a glass of wine. The bartender had to call a Sommelier to bring wine. We should have known then it was going to be expensive. We were shown two wines, both from Greece. We were familiar with one, so asked for that, of course there was only enough for one glass, so we went ahead and had a glass of the other bottle. The cost for my 3oz glass was 26 euros, the cost for the other 3 oz glass was 46 euros. The entire bottle of the 26 euro glass was in the grocery store and was only 32 euros for the bottle. We paid 72 euros for 2 glasses. This is absolute price gauging. It left a bad impression of being price gauged especially after what we were already paying for the room. Needless to say we did not eat or drink there again. There are wonderful restaurants within walking distance with more reasonable prices. Be careful of the stairs as they are steep and curvy, I actually fell and rolled an ankle. The staff was very helpful with ice and calling a doctor if needed. They also serve breakfast every morning at your room , which was wonderful , since I lost two days of the trip with a hurt ankle. The staff is very kind and helpful, the hotel is just way overpriced. That’s what you are going to pay to stay in Oia overlooking the Caldera. There are more reasonable priced hotels in Imergovili or Fira which are both as nice as Oia. This hotel is beautiful, from rooms to view, the staff is top notch, the price for dining needs improvement. Go to Pita Gyros, best fresh food on the island , The Kookoo bar was fun and had good food. Go off the Main Street a block back or walk the path to Finikia, there are plenty of good reasonably priced restaurants.
