Property was nice overall, although bathroom had some minor issues: shower box is semi open (which spills water outside), toilet often clogged (requiring 2 flushes), main drain was loose (and we often tripped on it).

Our stay at Albenos Retreat in Santorini was nothing short of magical. Perched above the caldera, the retreat offered breathtaking views in every direction. From the west-facing balcony, we watched the sun sink into the Aegean Sea in a blaze of color each evening—a truly unforgettable Santorini sunset. On the east side, we were greeted each morning by the gentle glow of the sunrise, casting light over the island and starting each day with serenity. The rooms were spotless, thoughtfully designed, and comfortable—offering a perfect mix of modern amenities and Cycladic charm. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready with a smile and local tips to enhance our stay. One of the highlights was enjoying our daily breakfast on our balcony, with fresh local ingredients and unbeatable views. It was the perfect way to slow down and take in the peaceful surroundings. Albenos Retreat was a peaceful haven that gave us the best of Santorini’s natural beauty and warm hospitality. We’d return in a heartbeat.

Perfect location, beautiful property & views!

This was my second time and my family’s third time staying at this property. It is the only one I will stay in when I visit Santorini. It is just far enough away from the crowds of Oia, and in my opinion, has a better view anyways of the Caldera. It is right at the beginning of the path to Oia, and it’s a very convenient location. The service is really what makes the difference though. They treat you like family, they are very welcoming, and extremely helpful. If you need anything at all, they will help. I love this place and I will definitely be back again!

Great Spot, Amazing Host

Stayed here for 5 days and loved every day. The room gets breakfast delivered daily to the room, and they come and clean when you leave. The host really made us feel like we were on vacation and gave us lots of good food spots and activities that needed to be done. If you book, know that the view from inside the room isn't always the best, but a two-second walk does give an amazing view of the island. Also, if you decide to stay, ask the host for advice or anything, and he will help. Last but not least, just something I may have missed in the booking, but know that the airport transport is not free, they are 30 euros each way when I stayed. (It is not a bad price because taxis may be around the same, but letting you know because if you rent a car, you can have that at the airport ready to drive).

Wonderful stay

The hospitality was unmatched. We did all the restaurant recommendation and they were great. The made to order breakfast was a nice touch. We felt like vip guests. Finally the view of the sunset was amazing .. We actually left oia early as the crowds are unbearable just so we can get back to the room to watch the sunset. Your room is really the best view out of the whole island:

Wonderful view from room. Beds are comfortable. But facility need to be upgrade. We don’t like shower tub. There is no guard or door to stop the water from splashing out. It makes watery while you use bathroom. Breakfast is many selection you can choice.

Very nice and friendly. The room got a little noisy behind us. Not sure if it was a private property or one of the hotel rooms. It wasn’t all night just late evening. Didn’t have to go anywhere to get a great shot of the sunset, it was beautiful from our balcony

This property is in a wonderful location in Imeroviglia - a quieter option than Fira or Oia. It is right by the coastal path so easy to walk to both towns from there. The views over the caldera are stunning. The room was lovely; we liked the fact that breakfast was served on our terrace every morning. We would absolutely return to this property and have already recommended it to friends.

Great location

Wonderful stay in Imerovigli. This hotel is perfectly located away from the chaos and crowds of Fira and Oia. Hosts George & Paul were extremely kind. Informative with excellent recommendations and helpful with a car rental (which was delivered & picked up right from the hotel). Morning breakfast was made to order & delivered directly to our room each day. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely consider staying again. Only complaint for us was the very firm mattress. But the AC ran great & bedding was comfortable. Excellent sunset views from the top deck too!!!
