Aldea

I stayed here for three nights at the beginning of my week in Santorini, and then two more nights at the end. At around €50 per night for a double room in early June 2025, it was excellent value for money if you do not need to stay on the cliffside in Fira or Oia. The hotel was clean and quiet, staff was friendly, and the breakfast good. Both of my rooms were pleasant and felt quite private. One had a full sea view and access to a large shared terrace; the other had a small private balcony with a partial sea view (which wasn’t advertised). The hotel has two small dipping pools, which I enjoyed using. The surrounding area is a bit worn but has its charm, with maze-like alleyways. The hotel is set back from the main street, which helps keep things quiet, but parking could be tricky. I arrived on foot. Everything you need is nearby: a bus stop, a large supermarket, an excellent 24/7 bakery, and several good restaurants. You can walk to Fira (and the main bus station) in just over 15 minutes. If you're traveling light, it's even possible to walk to the airport in about an hour—but I wouldn’t recommend it, as much of the route is along the roadside. Overall, I’ll give this place 4.5 stars. And I wouldn't mind coming back.
