The hotel is perfect for people looking for quiet and relaxing place tos stay. The only issue was the transport link to the main city and tourist attraction. There is no bus service I have seen in my stay, even if u order Uber u have to wait up to 20 minutes to arrive.
If you are planning to hire a car then the hotel is perfect place to stay.

The Hotel is very nice and the staff was friendly. The breakfast was very good and we enjoyed. The only downside is the tap water, it has a very bad quality and it feels as if I am taking a shower in salt water. I visited other properties on the island and the water was ok. The overall property is good for stay.

Perfect retreat

Perfect. We wanted peace and quiet with some quality and that is what we got. Room very clean and comfy. Staff super lovely. Views amazing. Two great restaurants within two mins walk. Pool fab, though chilly this time of year, but did not stop me and others using it. Just delightful and hope to come back again.

The property is very nice-we have stayed here now 4x. The rooms are clean with nice balconies. What is different this time, compared to 4 yrs ago-the water sytem is now \"salty\" from the tap as well as in the swimming pool. We did not like this, but overall, its a great little place with a nice \"glass house\" restaurant.

The hotel was fantastic and affordable, while the staff were exceedingly helpful and friendly.

It is quite a ways out of town so I'd recommend renting a car, but it's so worth it because the location is super quiet and has fantastic views of the entire Caldera. If I were returning to Santorini I would happily stay here again - it stood out as our best hotel across the fourteen nights we spent all over Greece to that point.

The restaurant attached was phenomenal, convenient, affordable, and the staff treated you like you were the only people in the restaurant. Pool area is very fun and chic. All around incredible hotel. If you’re looking for a more relaxed and separate experience on santorini, this is the place to do it. Renting a car is extremely affordable and they will arrange everything for you so that you can drive around the island at your leisure. When I come back to santorini, it will be here.

Well presented hotel with few things to improve

Overall the hotel & restaurant look well on a contemporary style and is well mantained, the helpful and friendly staff makes a pleasant stay and the pool is a plus.
The rooms are just a bit outdated specially the shower which was small on the standard room, and the water came out easily. It was good to have a mini fridge inside the room, though.

Beautiful views and a wonderful setting.

Lovely setting and very remote. Transport a must. Our disappointment was that the hotel was closing around us. We are the last guests so after three/four days they actually removed sun beds and drained the swimming pool. The restaurant which is attached to the hotel (with great reviews from previous guests) was not open during the day or evening there was no where to even get water as no bar or food facilities on site at all. Breakfast was very Greek but no variation through the whole stay and was only replenished periodically so often would be lacking in something. Only lukewarm water for tea and the coffee also lukewarm . Whilst the bad points were quite disappointing the hotel was set in a beautiful part of the island with outstanding views. We had our rooms upgraded and the hotel staff were very helpful for booking a car and transport back to the airport. They also allowed us to keep our rooms until we checked out at 3pm. Sadly it did not quite make up for water that turned off occasionally internet that went down and absolutely NO hotel facilities. I would happily return but it would be in season. If you are going to close down facilities in a hotel whilst you still have paying guests it should be made very clear in the Expedia hotel booking site as otherwise like myself others would feel misled.

Disappointing

I spent 5 nights in the hotel with the disappointing experiences. The hotel really far from beach, bus station and nowhere on the island. The towels were dirty, rough and they don't change every day. When I asked the beach towels they told me I need to pay for it. The shower tiny, narrow and old. Every morning I woke up for the rooster noise at 5:00AM. Spending my time this hotel just was a really disappointing experience.

Excellent, great quiet location, will come again.

Excellent family holiday, together with our 6 year old son, we spent a week in Santorini with our base at Caldera Romantica.

It is a good honest 3-4 star hotel, friendly and excellent staff, clean rooms, very comfortable bed. Breakfast was included, and was a good buffet.

The location is near Akrotiri on the south end of Santorini, offering beautiful views of the volcano, and Fira and Oia nestling at the edge of the caldera in the distance. It is very quiet, away from most of the tourists in Fira and Oia, which we liked very much. Fira is 10-15 minutes drive, our favourite beach at Perivolos is a similar distance.

Unfriendly

The hotel was Very Basic. There was NOTHING upscale or fancy about it. A Motel 6 has nicer rooms than the \"Superior\" rooms at this hotel. The location was far too removed from anything you wanted to access (the map location is wrong, it's about twice the distance from the port that the map shows). The isolation would be fine if there was Anything at the hotel to make you want to stay there to relax, but there wasn't. With all of this, I'd still give the hotel 3 stars of it wasn't for the unfriendly desk person who was rude and unapologetic about the fact that they put us in a room with 2 twin beds (that could not be pushed together) while on our honeymoon, dispite the fact that they acknowledged that we had indeed booked a room with a double bed. The entire time she spoke to me I felt like I was being scolded and there was never even a hint of appology. Aeolos tavern next door was the only good thing about this location. They were incredibly friendly and the food was great.

Superb boutique hotel outside of Fira

The rooms are beautiful and spacious. You have a balcony with a great view. The breakfast is lovely as well. The reception is great and gave lots of good suggestions and helped me arrange a quad ATV to drive around the island. It is great for the price.

You do need to rent a quad bike or have a rental car to stay here. It's not in the centre of things and taxis sometimes take 30 minutes to come to the hotel.

Best view and amazing experience

Great hotel and view . Best staff . We made a mistake of not taking a taxi but a public bus from the port. The hotel manager came and picked us up from the local bus stop in akortria. They have a restaurant next door with amazing nice friendly staff and amazing view. Also forget Oia this hotel has the best sunset view. However the hotel is located at the top of the mountain so you will need to rent your own atv , scooter or car. And the staff of hotel helps with it! Will

Short, but very pleasant stay!

Caldera Romantica is a lovely small hotel with an amazing view and great facilities including good length swimming pool, drink bar and a beautiful breakfast café, which has a nice terrace overseeing the coast. The rooms are very clean and pleasantly cool at night – this is exactly what we needed after a day spent in heat of the Greek sun! The hotel staff are very friendly and helpful in arranging all services you may require, from car hire (this is an absolute necessity if you are planning on seeing other parts of the island), to airport transport. Although we stayed in Caldera for only two nights, we absolutely loved it and would definitely recommend to others!

Good value run by hospitable family in quiet part

Cleanliness: spotless. Service: family-run, warm and helpful. Eager to help or organise stuff and they make good recommendations. Amenities: simple room with balcony and ensuite wetroom, pool quite a nice place to wait, as is the breakfast area overlooking the caldera. Nothing like laundry available - nearest was in Fira (or maybe Perissa) and Kamari. Air con was thankfully included. We had view of caldera from balcony and could watch the sun go down, but view on other side of the hotel is quite nice too. Location: dead quiet and non-touristic. There is a restaurant pretty much next door which we really liked (recommend the octopus), there is one other building in view and that's it. Nearest beach is Kambia (2km on dirt track) which is tiny, quiet, pebbly with sunbeds (7 euros), good for swimmers and snorkellers and has a taverna. The town of Akrotiri is just over a mile away as is the bus stop. Both are uphill on the way back. Popular Red beach is 5 min drive. as is Ancient Akrotiri; Fira, 10; Oia, 20. Favourite moment was the short drive to the end of the island where there is a lighthouse - another great place to watch the Aegean sunset, cuddled on the rocks

Good hideaway spot on Santorini

We stayed for three nights and were very satisfied with this hotel. It is family run and the owners are very friendly, helpful and caring. The rooms are a bit basic, but for the money we paid had everything we needed including free wi-fi. The bathroom was a bit small and there was not shower curtain (which I didn't like so much), but for the short stay it was alright. Our room was facing the street (almost zero traffic and quiet at night) with a small balcony overlooking the bay and the volcano.

The area around the hotel is a bit deserted. There is one (very good) restaurant next door, but that's about it. However, if you want to explore Santorini you need to rent a form of transportation anyway. We had a car (rented through the hotel) and it was very convenient.

The hospitality of the family owners would make me return there in a heartbeat. Great hotel and value for money.

Ein ruhiges und total schönes Hotel mit super freundlichem Personal.
Die Lage ist ruhig. Man ist zu Fuß in ca. 20 min in Akroteri, wo einige sehr schöne Restaurants sind.
Da das Hotel ziemlich oben auf dem Berg liegt, kann man sehr schön zu Fuß nach unten laufen aber nach oben sollte man sich ein Transfer (Taxi) buchen.
Am besten ist es wenn man sich ein Auto oder einen Scooter mietet, dann hat man sehr viel von der Insel gesehen und kann sich besser fortbewegen.
Im großen und ganzem ein sehr schöner Urlaub mit viel Erholung!
Würde jederzeit wieder das Hotel buchen!

Super Hotel mit ekelhaftem Trinkwasser

Alles auf hohem Niveau, Pool, Zimmer, Frühstück.

Allerdings liegt es sehr sehr abgelegen, zweimal am Tag fährt nur ein Bus, ohne Auto ist man aufgeschmissen.

Musste nachts hin und tagsüber zurück trampen zur nächsten Bus Anschlussstelle.

Ekelhaftes sogenanntes Trinkwasser, die haben eine eigene aufbereitungsanlage, das ungenießbare Zeug schmeckt man aus dem Kaffee stark raus und auch beim sogenannten Trinkwasser am Tisch. Den Kaffee habe ich nicht trinken können, nur noch aus Flaschen Sachen genommen.
Habe der Leitung Bescheid gesagt, die wollen das angeblich ändern...

Pourrait mieux faire

L'hôtel est situé face à la caldeira sur la route du phare. Si vous réservez une chambre vue mer vous aurez une vue magnifique. La chambre est dotée d'un balcon bien agréable si il n'y a pas trop de vent.
Il y a des tavernes très sympa aux alentours ainsi qu'un restaurant gastromique. Le site archéologique est accessible à pied. L'idéal est de louer une voiture pour visiter l'île. La réception peut vous aider car elle est en contact avec un loueur.
Une jolie piscine d'où vous pouvez admirer le coucher du soleil.
Petit déjeuner servi dans le restaurant à partir de 8h00. Rien d'extraordinaire et le café est assez mauvais. Pourquoi les restaurants se croient ils obligés de mettre une musique d'ambiance celle de l'hôtel assez insupportable.
