Kalestesia Suites

We have just returned from a thoroughly enjoyable stay at this hotel. The property is located above Akrotiri village, and affords stunning views of the caldera, Fira and Oia. There are 2 sections- an older/more traditional set of rooms, and a new annex with more modern suites. Both have beautiful views. The main pool is situated adjacent to the older rooms, with a slightly smaller pool at the annex. We stayed in a senior suite with Jacuzzi, that was very spacious and had a large terrace with peerless views of the whole island. Air con was almost silent, and very efficient. Nespresso machine has some Pods provided but worth taking some of your own. Breakfast is ordered for the week when you arrive, but items can be changed the night before on request. Worth pointing out that the hotel is situated on a very steep hill. We walked down into the village most days, but the way back up is a fair hike if you are not fit or have mobility issues. If you are hiring a car, the access road is both steep and narrow, so a small vehicle is recommended. Some of the local restaurants offer collection and return to the hotel- we ate at all three on the list provided , and enjoyed them very much. Reception will arrange this for you. Would return, very good value for money considering the views. Staff were hard working, warm and very helpful.
