Elysian Santorini

Lovely staff, always looking to help from the very first minute with a porter helping carry the luggage and guiding through the narrow street. It's near enough Oia, with a 20-30 min walk, but still manages to be in a really quiet region. Of course this has it's pros and cons, the biggest advantage to me is having more privacy and be able to relax but it doesn't have the best views, I personally would never exchange that for a place in Oia with hundreds of tourists invading your balcony. There's 2 really good restaurants nearby (although expensive) and you can find more options in Oia and even supermarkets. There was complimentary wine (produced in their own vineyard!), water, coffee. We had a rental car and we could park in the nearby free parking lot (5 min walk) fairly easily most of time but was told it would be harder in the high season. This was probably the fanciest hotel I ever stayed. Be aware photos are only illustrative, if you want to have a specific room I would try contacting them beforehand to double-check (which I didn't, although I reviewed information on multiple sites, genuinely believing I made the right decision). We had a problem with that because I believed I had booked the "red cave pool" room, this was a pretty special occasion as I had just proposed to my girlfriend one day before arrival and I was honestly bummed out when I found out the room was diferent. Don't get me wrong, it was still INCREDIBLE, but it wasn't exactly what I was expecting. Due to that they immediately went out of their way to check if that one room was available and considering it wasn't, they upgraded us to the bigger room which was great with a bigger and more private pool (be aware that most rooms have pools that can be seen by others) It didn't have the best view though as the sea/horizon was obstructed by a unfinished building in a neighboring villa (not the prettiest thing to look at in Santorini - with bricks on display and all) and the room also felt a little empty and not so comfy, almost like they don't book it a lot so it doesn't get a lot of love... in comparison our original room, although smaller, felt a lot more cozier. Unfortunately we also had bad luck as the weather was terrible and we didn't take much advantage of pool, ofc this is not their fault but due to that Santorini as a whole was not what we pictured, so the issue with the room added to that as the trip didn't really go as expected and I was a little frustrated.

Best hotel in Santorini!!! We absolutely loved our stay here - from the 5 star service, outstanding breakfasts, adorable village, easy walking distance to Oia, and gorgeous and comfortable bedrooms, we cannot recommend the Elysian more. The staff even went above and beyond in the weeks leading up to our trip to answer our questions and reserve rides for us. They were always available for questions and made our stay so incredible. Definitely stay here if you’re in Santorini!

Located in the traditional village of Finikia, the hotel is a 5 min walk from the Finikia parking lot. Carrying the luggage yourself might be a bit of a problem due to how terrains are in Santorini with inclines and declines, but the complementary porter service provided by the hotel helps a lot. Coming to the Villas themselves, they are located in a beautiful place and have a nice vibe around. They are quite open, well spaced and preserve privacy. About the rooms (or villas), while they are spacious, the open design, ultra small toilets and faucets and shower requiring maintenance was a little inconvenient. Overall, Elysian Santorini is a great place to stay and is close to Oia and you will love your stay there. Elysian team, please fix the minor inconveniences

Wonderful place. Private, clean, incredibly friendly and accommodating staff. Great location about 10 minute walk to Oia. Wonderful to have a private pool overlooking the sea. The breakfast could be a tad bit better but since it was included it did the trick. Would definitely stay here again!
