This is away from all the chaos. It’s great for kids. The staff were lovely and always made us feel welcome. Great pool bar with cocktails, cold beer and great food. Great pool for all of us and the view back to oia, Fira and the volcanoe was pretty special. Breakfast was awesome. I feel incredibly relaxed after staying here.

Peaceful and beautiful stay
The views from Kalestesia Suites was absolutely stunning all day round. As it is at the top of the hill it is very peaceful. There aren’t that many rooms which makes it feel quite private.
The hotel has everything we needed and the food was very tasty! They have a small team of staff who you’ll get to know quickly who will do anything to help and are so friendly. There is also a lovely cute dog on site who lives at the hotel who I loved cuddles with.
A special mention to Theodorus Who was so incredibly helpful and kind. He helped us out and was on the other end of the phone whenever we needed him. Thank you Theodorus!
Be aware - As it is right at the top of a hill it makes it very hard work to walk to the hotel! If you aren’t fit you will struggle. Taxi’s are super expensive on the island and car hire isn’t the cheapest.

Lovely staff, accommodation and beautiful sunsets
My daughter and I really enjoyed our short break at the Kalastesia Suites. The accommodation was really nice - we had a Comfort Suite and it was perfect for the two of us. We loved our little balcony overlooking the pool and the bay. The sunsets were gorgeous! The staff were all helpful and obliging. We were particularly impressed with Nick and Stavros in the bar/restaurant who were great company - we chatted with them a lot. The food served by the restaurant was excellent. The hotel staff arranged airport transfers for us and taxis to and from places that we wanted to visit, and were good at giving us recommendations regarding what to see and do. All in all, it was a fabulous few days and it was over much too soon!

The orientation when checking in was overkill. The manager is very nice but it just wasn't necessary to spend a half hour with him. This is a remote property and we were not told until we arrived that there is no longer a restaurant on property. However, this was a little inaccurate as there is a pool bar to order food from. So, there isn't a formal restaurant but we could get food each day. Also, there were 3 couples that checked in the day we did. We had made our reservation first and yet we were put in a temporary room and had to move the next morning. It would have been so nice to have been settled in our room from the first night. Lastly, it did seem like the staff felt a little put out when we modified the time we wanted breakfast and what we wanted for breakfast. That could just be Greek culture. I would still recommend the hotel.

Great hotel with exceptional service
Our family of four (2 adults, 2 young kids) had a great time at Kalestesia Suites. The suites are large compared to normal hotel rooms. Our room had a hot tub on the second floor balcony with an incredible view of the caldera. The kids spent many happy hours swimming in the pool. The hotel's host, Michael, helped us with everything we needed from restaurant advice to boat tours. When we chose to follow online reviews instead, we usually regretted it.

30th Anniversary holiday.
We booked our holiday for our 30th Anniversary after checking the information on your website.
We were looking to using the suite amenities which included the restaurant/bar/lounge/pool bar/plunge pool/bathrobe and slippers! We arrived and we were looking forward to a meal and a drink in the evening after our long journey. None of the above amenities were open, after my husband made a comment they provided us with one drink in our suite. The nearest food shop is about an hours walk but no hob to be able to cook yourself anything hot in your suite. Be aware that you do need a car to get about and walking back to the suites is all up hill. With this in mind after going out during the day or for a meal we would off liked to relax having a drink at their bar during the evening but it was never open.
The pool bar during the day didn't have any staff after they cleaned the area and put the towels out.
There was no plunge pool in our suite/bathrobes or slippers.
The staff did explain the area with a map and arranged the hire car for us.

We absolutely loved our stay at Kalestesia Suites and have no complaints. Our room was so lovely and breakfast was delicious every day! The staff was so kind and accommodating! The only thing I would say is to be sure you have a small car as the road to get to the hotel has an area between two buildings that is quite tight even for a small vehicle. That being said, we absolutely loved the location on the southern end of the island. We will definitely be going back!

Fantastic views, staff was very friendly but a bit slow with service. Most likely because they’re understaffed. Roads in that particular area are a mess. Most taxis and/or transfers will not drive you in front of the hotel reception. Best bet is to call reception upon arrival so that someone can pick you up and bring you to reception.

Unforgettable view, breakfast, and wonderful Harry
Kalestesia, Santorini was by far the highlight of our stay in the Greek Islands. We had an absoulutely beautiful view. Fresh and delicious breakfast every morning. Lovely view from the terrace. WE all loved Harry an associate of the hotel. He was so knowledgable, kind and helpful throughout our whole stay. Everyone at the hotel was very friendly and kind. The wifi was great, and the rooms very clean, cozy and comfortable. Beautiful pool. Gorgeous at night! Tennis shoes for walking into town a necessity! Would highly recommend
