Lava Stone was such a beautiful stay! Kira was absolutely amazing and helped us with everything we needed. Our room was gorgeous, and the view was honestly breathtaking.
We didn’t even realize we’d be staying right at the harbour, and it ended up being the perfect location. So many of the restaurants we wanted to try were literally just a few steps away!
If you’re planning a trip to Santorini, I highly recommend staying here. The location, views, room and hospitality were all amazing.
A stunning and unique location waking up next to the clear blue waters of the Mediterranean. A bustling little port with good but expensive restaurants. It is a healthy walk up the donkey steps to the larger town of Oia.
The place has a stunning view and is very romantic.
Wouldn’t stay there more than one night as getting in and out is very complicated.
Shower drain was clogged.
Lava Stone: This place is a hidden gem. Beautiful rooms, stunning views, 1-2 minutes walk to fantastic restaurants. The rooms are beautifully done up, elegant and tasteful. Really stunning views! The host Rena is delightful and made us feel at home right away. She organized taxis for us whenever we needed to go anywhere. I give this place 5 stars. We did not want to leave!
Note: the area around Ammoudi Bay entails walking up and down a lot of steep and rocky steps so wear sensible footwear. If you’re into hiking and can do steep steps, the landmark Oia castle and historic village (with the iconic blue domes) is just a 15 minute walk away.
The place was great, everything was very clean enjoy the extra amenities they provide such a slippers, coffee and a delicious Greek wine coplementary. The room had a unique Greek style and an amazing bay view thru the window and balcony. Our host was extremely friendly and helpful. The only downside to it was the hill and stairs you have to go thru to get there, no car access. If you are fit it won't be an issue.
Fantastic stay! The view was absolutely stunning, and the staff were amazing — so kind and helpful. Peaceful location, beautiful rooms, and great hospitality. Highly recommend!
We had a lovely stay. Vickie was wonderful, she reached out to us the day we were arriving to make sure we had a transfer from the airport. Thankfully she did, bc it was raining and the location of the hotel, while stunning, we did not realize it was down in the bay. The easiest way to access it, especially with luggage, is to be driven down to Ammoudi Bay. There are 254 steps that take you up to Oia, its a beautiful stroll, especially after a meal, or you can Uber there. The hotel is near at least 3 delicious restaurants, all with stunning views. We were in Room 1 at the top, and it felt like a nice retreat from the crowds.
The view from our room is priceless. The close proximity/location to the famous Oia Blue Dome is worth all the stairs we have to climb to up and down is worth it!
