Opinions ISTORIA

Si mangia benissimo, piscina bellissima e personale gentile

Sono stata con mia figlia il giorno 28 agosto 2023. Mare trasparente e pulito, ambiente rilassante ma purtroppo si è verificato uno spiacevole episodio di maleducazione da parte dello staff della spiaggia. Uno dei tre si è permesso di fare delle avances a mia figlia che ovviamente nn ha gradito. Quando sono andata a pagare il conto un'altro dei tre bagnini si e6innervosito xche nn pagavo in contanti la somma di 92 euro, è venuto con il pos gli ho chiesto se lo posa a sul banco e x poter digitare in privacy il pin della carta, ha iniziato a parlare nella sua lingua alzando la voce, volevo recarmi alla reception x fare un reclamo ma poiché sono in vacanza nn ho voluto. Sono molto delusa che ancora esistano uomini che pensano di trattare le donne con sufficienza e arroganza e nn aggiungo altro.

This review is not about the hotel but the beach. We went there for the day as non-guests. While the beach is pretty and clean, and the service good, DRINK PRICES ARE ABSURDLY HIGH.

Nothing can justify 44 euro for two watered down aperol spritzes.

1/5

Best service in Santorini! 5/5

We stayed here in July for a week and honestly just want to jump on a plane and go back. Wow is the best word I can use. From the moment we arrived we knew it was a special place. The team are fantastic, friendly, helpful and engaging. The hotel is set by the beach, room was just stunning, the most comfortable bed, a really relaxing and unique space. Breakfast was delicious, lots of options and we also enjoyed an excellent dinner here too. This is a true 5 star experience, understated elegance delivered perfectly. Location was superb too, lots of great food and drink choices locally, beach was lovely and it's a 20 min drive to Thira and the Caldera to soak up the sunsets.

One Aperol 22 €…

We stayed at Istoria for 6 nights. Having read great reviews we entered the hotel with high expectations and they did even better than what we expected. The property itself is beautiful but since it’s only 12 suites it is very cozy and never busy. The staff are super attentive and are always on hand for any help/suggestions. Special mention to Isabella from the front desk who goes out of her way to help the guests and we really visited some amazing hidden gems based on her recommendation. Breakfast is the best!! All freshly cooked based on your order. Cocktails are amazing, some very fresh flavours. The hotel staff also organised a rented car for us via another company. 24 hours support on WhatsApp is a great feature. Our hot tub was cleaned daily as well and we as a family had an amazing time!

We stayed here, in the Storia Suite, for 4 nights during a recent trip to Santorini. WE LOVED this hotel!! The best of all the hotels we stayed at on all the islands during our trip. It was smaller than we anticipated, but the service was stellar. Our suite was BEAUTIFUL, the design and decor was amazing, and I wish we could move in to live permanently ????

The entire staff was amazing, from top to bottom! Special shout out to Isabella, Mikalis, and Pavlos for their recommendations and eagerness to ensure everything we wanted/needed was taken care of the entire stay. The food from Mr. E’s was delicious. The pool area was nice. The only negative was the location is 40-50 can ride away from Oia. Other than that, it was PERFECT. We would definitely stay here again and also highly recommend to everyone.

We stayed at Istoria for a week and had the most wonderful experience. Every little detail is well-thought to give this impression of casualness and simplicity, from the entrance of the hotel to everything in your room. Talking about the room, we had couple surprises that were very kind like a glass of wine the day of the arrival, lemonade and biscuits or even little chocolates. On top of that, everyone from the staff was extremely nice and thoughtful to us during the whole week. And I think the photos of the hotel speak for themselves concerning the beauty of the place, the pool is just magical and perfect to host everyone from the 12 rooms, the room is beautifully decorated, the bar and restaurant are very intimate and soothing… Plus the location permits privileged access to the beach, which is beautiful and isn’t that crowded. Also the breakfast and dinner at Mr.E are truly delightful and again very well-thought to be a mix between local dishes and sophisticated meals. Finally I feel important to say that we were able to reach for help and advise about anything at any time of the day through a Whatsapp line with very quick and helpful replies. I would recommend Istoria to everyone wanting to visit Santorini as it is just the perfect hidden gem for a restful vacation and not far from interesting things to visit like Akrotiri, Red Beach, Fira or Ancient Fira.

Beautiful architecture. Great design in a minimalist style design to elevate the functionality of the space.
Food wise. Gorgeous. Great flavours. Full with flavours. So so so tasty can't recommend it enough.
Service wise, Katerina, our waitress was amazing. Professional, approachable, educated and filled with knowledge and beverage selection of needed. Very friendly and amplified our dining experience.

Je n’ai pas testé l’hôtel mais seulement le beach club. De grande qualité, transats hyper confortables, cadre impeccable. On nous offre une bouteille d’eau et une grande assiette de fruits frais avec du fromage grec : trop top !! On peut accéder aux toilettes de l’hôtel si besoin, qui sont nickel et j’ai apprécié le personnel pas oppressant du tout pour nous pousser à la consommation

Simply an outstanding stay with a team who couldn't do enough to ensure it was perfect. Our room was the Conte suite and we absolutely loved sitting on the balcony or in the jacuzzi watching the world go by and enjoying the sunrise and sunset. Restaurant amazing, food delicious, breakfast menu superb. LOVED having own private beach where we were also looked after so well.
The bed was amazingly big and the room very spacious.
The team there also arranged for cabs for us to go into Fira. Everything was so easy. 100% recommended and will definitely return. Thank you all

Got a super nice upgrade, staff is lovely and the breakfast is the best!! The beach is super cool and trendy, bedrooms are really comfortable and well built/thought to the details.
The sister property is great too for dinner and we were lucky to have a nice time there during a rainy night.
