The check in and warm welcome was fabulous. The rooms are well maintained and spotless, as is the whole property. The views from almost anywhere on the property are spectacular.
All the staff are pleasant and super efficient.
Breakfast buffet was plentiful with lots to choose from. The dinner was also great.
We should have stayed longer. Next time.

We loved it here! Away from the noise and crowds in Fira and Oia and still near great restaurants. The staff were friendly and I thought the breakfast was great. If I ever make it to Santorini again, this will be my go to place. Loved it!

My wife and I spent 8 nights and the entire place was amazing! The desk staff, general staff and especially the bar & restaurant staff were amazing. Away from the bustle of the cruise ships but easy to get anywhere on the island! It’s rare that my wife and I travel the same place twice, but Maison DesLys will likely be an exception to that! Thank you for an amazing time!!!

This property was beautiful, nestled into the cliffs in Akrithi facing the Caldera. This is the quieter end of the island. Grounds and pool were well maintained. Our private pool was cleaned at least once while we were there. Bed made and fresh towels ( no wash clothes, take your own) provided daily. Breakfast buffet offered a variety of fresh fruit and some traditional Greek foods, enough that you did not have to eat the same foods every day. They have a bar/ restaurant onsite with a fairly decent menu. There was a small but consistent staff. Interactions with everyone were very pleasant. The hosts/receptionist, Angelo (day) and Angie (evening shift) were great. Concierge extraordinaire! The only negative is that the jacuzzi leaked when my daughter used it. And oops! We forgot to report it. If you're looking for a quiet spot, this is it. However, the island is small enough that you can drive from one end to the other in about and hour or so. I would recommend Maison Des Lys as a good place to stay when ever you visit Santorini.

We had a great stay. The menu selections at the hotel were limited, and my daughter ordered seafood at the hotel restaurant that gave her food poisoning and she was in bed for 2.5 days of our 5-day stay, so that was a bummer. There are restaurants nearby that you can walk to, but if you want to go to the tourist towns, you will need a taxi/Uber. Overall it was very nice.

The staff was incredibly attendant to any of our needs. The breakfast is alright, but that is such a minor complaint compared to how amazing the hotel and staff are. We booked a junior deluxe suite and the view was striking, particularly with the sunrise. There are two delicious restaurants within walking distance

The staff were great. But the room was not as clean. The floor was really dirty, and room smelled like sewage at times. The room itself did not match the picture of the room that was originally booked. The view was partially blocked by a wall, which from the pictures was not the room we booked or promised. We were often awoken, by a loud banging from what it appeared to be the roof of our room. And the wife worked half of the time. For the price that was paid, the stay was not worth it and I will not recommend this hotel to anyone.

The staff at the hotel were wonderful! Angelo at the front desk loaned me his personal guitar for the week which was awesome. The restaurant and bar have limited menu items, but all the food was great and the staff was excellent! The hotel is a little isolated, but they can easily get you transportation and you avoid the chaos of Oia and Fira. It's a place to go to relax and take in the amazing views!

This is a beautiful place. It’s far removed from the major tourist centres. We were in the new section and it was stunning. The view from our place was amazing. The staff couldn’t have been nicer or more helpful. They were genuinely friendly and kind. The private pool is basically a coolish plunge pool. The breakfast has good variety although we were there for 3 nights and it might become a little monotonous if we had been there longer. We walked a couple of times down to the village to catch the bus and it’s not a pleasant walk. No sidewalks and cars speeding past. It’s best to have a car. Taxis are very expensive. The food was good. The menu isn’t extensive but what they have was great. The fried feta in filo with honey was fantastic and the prawns were delicious. Small but good wine list. The outdoor dining area is lovely with such an amazing view. The only thing I didn’t really like was the indoor dining area. It’s just okay. We always ate outside but if it’s very windy - which happens here- you have to move indoors. But other than that our stay was perfect.

Relaxing authentic stay
Loved our stay, needed to relax and that is what we did. Staff were kind and attentive without bothering us. Views are stunning, quiet away from tourist rush . Pool was clean, our teenagers loved it. Restaurants and beaches close by. We were worried about the overtourism but absolutely no sign of it in this area.
Will be back - feel completely revitalised.

Picture perfect vacation spot
In one word, incredible. From our initial correspondence with the hotel staff, their willingness to accommodate changes in our schedule and organizing transportation was impeccable. The hotel and room with private pool was amazing. So relaxing. The breakfast
buffet was a nice plus and accompanying view was breathtaking.
