Oia Mare Villas

fantastic view, amazing location

difficult to access hotel from parking, a bit too "rustic", breakfast very basic

Nice views of volcano & harbour

Hard bed, no shower curtain for shower, thin towels. Locals said it is not good value and owner /manager writes the reviews for Trip Advisor.

The location was excellent and watching the sunset view from our balcony was an amazing experience.

The room was over-priced (you definitely pay for the view), but the amenities were no better than any other place we stayed in Greece (most of which we payed 1/7 the price for!). Also, I wish I had been forewarned that this hotel, like many in Oia, requires hiking up and down many, many stone steps. It is not for anyone of questionable fitness or mobility.

We stayed here 10 years ago and realized there are a lot of other options...Oia Mare needs to update their facility and service to keep up with their competition. However, the views are incredible and we loved the location.

I did not like the fact that there was not one drawer to put our belongings in. Amenities in the room were the bare minimum and could be improved.

View is amazing. Staff was not friendly and our room, a cave room was a bit of a dissapointment but you are paying for the view and it is worth it. Regardless of all the negatives, I would probably recommend the hotel due to the view/location but I think expectations should be managed. I would also recommend looking at other similar hotels for the same price point to see if some offer similar views with better service.

Poor service. Booked through booking.com. No one told us to check in at an office management company near the bus stop. Spent a lot of time trying to find hotel and when did, they seemed annoyed that we hadn't previously checked in with the management company. After we started unpacking our stuff, realized that the only light in the bathroom was not working and it took over an 1 hour to have it replaced which delayed our plans for dinner. Decor of the room was underwhelming, box spring of the bed was a piece of plywood, bathroom sink was leaking water onto the floor. When lying by the pool reading, staffer stood next to my lounge chair and talked on her cell phone for over 10 mins. Seemed annoyed when asked for clean plates at breakfast

This hotel has an excellent setting in Oia; well designed and charming. It sits well in the ambience of Oia. A perfect location to see the setting of the sun. The traditional cave houses and the "cave-like" pool too. An unforgettable experience.

Many guest reviews complain about the steps, the climbing to reach this hotel but I think that that is necessary considering the location and the very nature of Oia. I booked a single room and was given the smallest room with no windows, no air-conditioning...the so-called window is wired...hence, very little air...also I felt that they should lower the price for that small room (where the main electricity box is) if the management still consider it decent to rent out. I felt short-changed in some ways. What makes my stay pleasant is the facilities and the excellent staff service.

the view ; the swimming pool .

too expensive for what it was offering
