The property manager was an amazing host, talked to us about everything including what to do everywhere on the island. Will 100% go back when we visit again. Comes with an amazing view.

Relaxing ambient with the sea and hills view. The room is very comfortable and spacius. One of the best shower I ever had! Beds and pillows really good. The cooling system is very nice. In the other hand it is a long inclined way from the room to the road but doable. Yiannis was very helpful and informative about the place and the Island and how to get the most out of our trip to Santorini. Overall a great experience will recommend if you don't want to espend the top price for the caldera view and don't want a cramped space. We had the 2 bedroom suit.

The property is absolutely stunning! Very well maintained with an incredible view of the sea. The location is really good - walking distance from some great views and eating spots. The host, Janis, was super friendly, and happy to oblige with some great conversation and recommendations. The staff was also pro-actively helpful in organising logistics between the port and property.

6/10 Good

Aplada Suites has a beautiful layout and a great plunge pool, but several issues made our stay far less comfortable than expected — mainly due to missing information and poor management. Although the unit is technically within the main property area, there is a long walk to reach it, and none of this was disclosed beforehand. The distance and terrain make it inconvenient, especially when returning uphill. Inside the unit, the mattress is placed directly on a concrete slab, which affects comfort. The AC is locked at 25°C (77°F) with no option to adjust, and the property provides only one key, which is impractical for more than one guest. Management also enforces very strict occupancy rules that feel excessive and create an uncomfortable atmosphere, as if guests are being monitored rather than welcomed. When we reported that several outlets and lights were not working, the response we received was simply, “If it’s not working then it’s not working,” which was dismissive and unhelpful. The home itself is spacious and the plunge pool is a highlight, but the lack of transparency and the management’s attitude overshadowed what could have been a great stay. Future guests should be aware of these issues before booking.

8/10 Very good

The hotel is located in a wonderful spot, just a short 5-minute walk from the centre of Oia, and the property was very clean throughout our stay. However, we were disappointed by several issues. The main concern was that there was no swimming pool available, despite the listing on Hotels.com clearly stating that the property has one. This was one of the main reasons we chose to book the hotel, so it was frustrating to discover that the information provided was inaccurate. In addition, the air conditioning was not very effective and did not cool the room adequately. As a result, the room became quite hot and uncomfortable, particularly during the warmer parts of the day and night. We were also told upon arrival that we had to pay a tourist tax of €8 per day. However, after leaving the property, we realised that the booking information stated the tax was only €2 per day. Had we known this at the time, we would have questioned the charge, as this appears to be inconsistent with the information provided when booking. While we appreciated the location and cleanliness of the hotel, these issues had a significant impact on our overall experience and left us feeling disappointed.

Hidden Gem

A hidden Gem in Santorini Oia. Away from the crowd but just steps in Blue dome. Behind all crowded hotels and restaurants but has a surprisingly greater view of the sunrise. Villa has great floor layout, not a basement at all but a great suite with kitchen and sofa. Host Yanis was amazing, great restaurant tips to see sunset away from the crowd. Went to see dome 7-10 AM where no tour bus yet but just enjoying all the views without the crowd.

Great stay. The best hotel I stayed in during my visit to 4 different locations in Greece. It was very clean and modern. Great location as well. The staff took time to give you some advice when you checked in was nice. I will be returning again in the fall! My advice to the hotel would be to send the address instead of having the customer call. As an American I couldent just call. I had to download “what’s app” which took about 45 minutes.

Would not recommend

The actual accommodations were fine but I would classify this more as an Airbnb. We had to wait in the freezing cold wind to be greeted to get help with our bags with a golf cart and the man who met us was rude and off putting. Then we went to “reception” which was just an outdoor table. He kept telling us we had to sit for a presentation. I asked if we could just go to our room and he said “that’s for me to decide”. We had been up since 3 am. He made us look up our reservation instead of having any paperwork on his end so we had to tell him what our room was called. Inside room there was no water bottles which should be bare minimum when you can’t drink tap. The location was ok, easy to walk to the busy area of Oia but the long path to the rooms was pretty far. Parking not included. No street parking. No breakfast. Second “room” was a loft up stairs with no door. Bathroom door had no closure so we had to use a doorstop. Plunge pool was unheated. He said “it is what it is”. We asked for golf cart help with bags to leave and they said it was outside of hours and wanted to charge an additional €80 just to take our bags to the street. Hence…it was an Airbnb.

Problems with billing and management

The location of this place and the size of the rooms was great but we were overbilled and weeks after our stay still can't get a refund. Prepay if you go there. My roommate checked in before me and they ran her card without giving her a receipt. We repeatedly ask for a receipt and struggled to get one. We were unable to before we had to leave. When we pointed out that we were overbilled, it took days to get a response before we stopped hearing from them altogether. It's been over three weeks since we left and we still haven't gotten our refund. Also, the hotels.com description said we would get a free bottle of wine, which we never did. The operator of the hotel was friendly but did not appear to have much contact with management. Also, they are not open all night, so be sure to arrive during the day. That said, there were more outlets than I'd expect and good water pressure. We had a cold plunge on our patio and our rooms were very spacious with a spacious common area. More mirrors in the suite would have been good for getting ready but the air conditioning was decent. The location is great, very near Oia town and a grocery store and cafe. That said, the property is set back from the main road along a little sidewalk. It's a long walk (maybe 400 meters) which is tricky to do with bags or in heels. The operator can take you in a cart if you give him advance notice.

My two sons and i had a wonderful stay here. The check in and out was a breeze. The place is a short walk from everything in Oia yet far enough removed from the tourist traffic and late night noise. Woke up to sounds of roosters and nature. Sunrise and sunsets can be enjoyed from terrace. The suites are impeccably clean and have all you need to cook and be feel comfortable. We stayed in the semi basement unit and although main bedroom didnt have a window the unit has plenty of big windows to bring in natural light. If you enjoy walking and getting a great leg workout you will particularly enjoy the quiet walk to the suites along the path framed by wildflowers. Views are beautiful!!! If you are fond if felines beware, there’s a sweet friendly cat named Tiger who welcomes visitors and walks you to your suite.

4/10 Fair

If you’re older or have mobility issues, this is not the place for you. The hotel is off-road, meaning getting to it is fine because you’re going downhill, but to get into town it’s up hill and it’s truly a workout. Pros: the views are beautiful. Cons: the owner/man who “welcomed” us was condescending and rude. Practically forced us to sit down and listen to his “speech” on arrival about the island and tried to sell us “services” to explore the island (even after we said we’re not interested). He has hidden fees. No where on the add shows extra fees for an additional guest, but he made us a number of 340€ cash (instead of 3, we were 4, which wasn’t an issue in our Naxos hotel). He also added a 40€ charge for “taxes” although later on his add, it says it’s 2€ per night. He pocketed this money and voila, scammed. The light bulb in our bathroom stopped working, he didn’t replace it. The toilet bidet wasn’t working, the owner unscrewed the top of it and said “use it like this”, low pressure water. There is no daily housekeeping which was fine for us, but might be an issue for others. We tried to wash our clothes and lay it outside, he said it’s not allowed and tried to sell us “laundry service” lol. A guest next to us had something stolen, all we heard was the owner cussing out the cleaning lady. Owner also enters apartments while guests are in town. This is not a “luxury” experience. I wouldn’t recommend. Not worth the 2300$ stay.

Nice place to stay in Santorini.

We really enjoyed our stay at Aplada. The location is a walk away from many restaurants, shopping, and beaches. The Oia area is beautiful. We had everything we would need at Aplada. We were given great recommendations for places to explore and they helped book transfer from the airport.

From arrival to departure we were well looked after. The location overlooks a big plain facing the ocean. They also provide transportation to get your luggage to and from the rooms. Breakfast is also offered at a reasonable price. Center of Oia is a short walk.

Calm, Peaceful Oasis

I feel like I was so blessed finding this place. It is a 10 minute easy walk to Oia but set in a quiet, wildflower pasture. I could easily enjoy the town, food, shopping and sunrise and then retreat back here. Paschalia was welcoming and went over map, tours, and activities with me. The place was large but cozy and I loved having a kitchen. I will recommend this place to all my friends!

Amazing experience at Alpada Suites. The service we received from Yiannis and Paz were beyond expectation. They are very hospitable and made us feel very comfortable. The suites are also updated and comfortable. The location is perfect for anyone looking to be away from the traffic/noise of Oia, but literally walking distance to everything. It has a peaceful country feel, yet so close to everything. Highly recommended, and won’t think twice to visit again 😊
