We have just returned from our Greek holidays. Everything was super but for Alta Mare. Please, read the below details ( our experience) and think twice before booking this "hotel". -It's not a hotel it is "rooms for rent"-family run and seviced. -Their English is terribly poor (I wanted to complain but was not understood, they know just some basic... more

It's taken me a while to get round to writing my review, but better late than never! We took so much time in researching every accommodation before we went to Oia and to be honest, it became a bit mind boggling! But we were so happy with our choice in the end. Ireni and her husband were very welcoming and... more

We stumbled across this cute little family-run hotel when we arrived in Oia. The hostess was very nice and friendly. Her dog was so cute! We stayed in the "Santorini" apartment, which had a kitchen, living room and bathroom downstairs and the bedroom upstairs. Very charming and lots of character. We had our private balcony which is perfect for sip... more

We booked a room through internet for 3 nights and received confirmation mentioning studio SIK INOS which looked nice regarding other reviews on Tripadvisor. Two weeks before arrival we sent a new mail to reconfirm the reservation and received a answer from Alta Mare reconfirming the studio SIKINOS. On our arrival the manager drove us to an appartment room named... more

We stayed in Oia for 5 night in the last week of June 07 and really loved it. We booked direct online in advance after weeks of searching through websites. Location: For a start, I'd say definitely choose Oia over Fira. You can't move in Fira without coming across cutprice moped hire shops or tacky gold stores. Oia is much... more

We arrived in Oia late on a Tuesday and our booked hotel was dirty and horrible. We took a walk and there was something inviting about Alta Mare so we went to check it out. Not only was the owner/manager a delightful greek woman but the bathroom floors were so clean they were sparkling at night!! She found us 2... more

We stayed at the Alta Mare in Sept -06 on out honeymoon. The travel agent messed up our reservation so we were only able to stay 3 days and had to stay somewhere else the other 2 days but that is not the hotel's fault. The location was fabulous, but there were a lot of stairs! It was not a... more

Wonderful location, great views of the caldera. As with most accommodation in Santorini there are a great many stairs down to our rooms. When our foursome arrived the owners actually carried out bags down to our rooms (and up when we left). We found the owners to be very helpful and extremely pleasant. Irene's husband may look a little stern... more

This is the most romantic location. We stayed here with my parents in August 2006 for 4 days. It is located on top of the cliffs overlooking the caldera. You could not ask for a more perfect location. There are only 12 studios, which makes it very private. We each had our own balcony, with stunning views. The rooms were... more
