Andronis Boutique Hotel

Let me give it to you straight: Santorini is a marvel. The entire island offers up views of the Aegean Sea that make you question whether or not your eyes are deceiving you. Add in the unique magic of The Andronis Boutique Hotel and reality becomes even harder to fathom. If it were any more gorgeous, travelers might think they were experiencing some sort of hoax, trick of the mind, or optical illusion. Perhaps that’s why they welcome you with a delicious glass of homemade sangria as soon as you arrive–so that your senses have time to adjust to the stunning panorama that surrounds you. After the reception team gives you an explanation of the hotel grounds and maps out some of the main attractions in the town of Oia, they will lead you to your room. Be prepared for your jaw to hit the floor, again. All of the suites are built into the side of a cliff wall. According to a local tour guide, many of the hotel suites in the area were originally used by the Spartans as strategic look-out points. The caves were later occupied by Grecian fishermen, before eventually being remodeled into luxury hotel suites. Each suite has its own terrace and hot tub and unobstructed view of royal blue water below. It’s the cavernous feel of the suites that makes you feel extra warm and cozy while staying with Andronis. Everything has a bit of a round edge; the white stone walls have retained some of their original curves, the ceiling is slightly arched, the doorways are arched, and even the shower has a domed-shape overhead and smooth stone underfoot. If you’re a Lord of the Rings fan, you might feel like you’re a Hobbit with your own little apartment in The Shire.

I do not even know where to start on how exceptional everything was! From the first moment we were greeted until we checked out it was just heaven! The room was so unique. The staff treated us like royalty. I love this place...yes, it was expensive but worth every penny. I felt connected to every staff member and they were as beautiful as the island they call home. Kudos to a job well done and a fantastic memory etched in my soul!

The rooms are unique and have exceptional sea views. The staff and facilities are 5 star! The location in Oia is also excellent.

The location and the views over the Caldera were spectacular. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. As Santorini is so busy, it was wonderful to stay in a small boutique hotel.

I just... cannot begin to describe how much we ADORED the Andronis Boutique Hotel. The view, the food, the kind staff, the location within Oia. It was all 10,000/10.
