Oia Mare Villas

We looked at a lot of different hotels when making plans to visit Santorini and decided to stay at Oia Mare Villas after a friend’s recommendation. This stay on the caldera was such a unique experience for us. We arranged for transport from the port with the hotel. They dropped us off a short walk from the hotel as the taxi obviously can’t take you all the way there. We were met by someone from the hotel who put our bags on a cart and guided us to the lobby and then took the bags to our room, which an amazing feat. The staff at the hotel desk were friendly and explained everything we needed to know and made some dining recommendations. We got to our room and it was very clean and the air conditioning worked great which we appreciated over our stay. We had a small outside area with a couple chairs and a table with umbrella with a great view of the caldera. The hotel was in a great location to the main shopping area and other restaurants including a winding walk to Ammoudi Bay. It took us a few tries to learn our way along the winding path with many many steps to get up to the main street. If you have mobility issues, it might be tough to maneuver. We are around 60 and it was a little challenging at times but we managed. They have a small pool area with a place to sit or lay out if you like. Breakfast was included with the room rate and was ok. Definitely a unique experience.
