I can't say enough about the accomodations and staff at Chromata. Staying there was the splurge of our honeymoon and it was worth every cent. It's a beautiful, clean, and unique place to stay. Staff are friendly, warm and eager to please. The only warning I have to potential guests, is that this is not the best place for those with physical disabilities, poor physical health, or even a fear of heights. It's all open-air, somewhat steep and definitely narrow flights of stairs between the rooms.

When we arrived we were greeted by friendly faces and glasses of champagne while we were checked in. A porter came and carried our bags down the many flights of steep steps. We were in a blue room, where the theme was carried right through to the colour of the toilet paper!

We our breakfast was delivered the next morning and was a lovely mix of both familiar and new tastes. Everything was delicious! We had the option of ordering more of any one thing, but the tray they brought was more than enough to fill us up.

The pool was literally about 5 steps from the door to our room. It was always clean and provided a spectacular view. You need to get there somewhat early to get a spot on the bench, but sitting on the balcony of our room was just as good a spot for sun tanning.

In response to some negative feedback about the bathrooms, keep in mind that these rooms are built into the side of a cliff. As such, don't expect a luxury chain hotel bathroom. Bathrooms here are unique, but we found them very comfortable and easy to use.

We knew of Chromata Hotel before comming to Santorini as I have seen lots of pictures that friends of mine made durring their honeymoon stay in August 2007.From the minute we arrive we were blown away by the gorgeus views and all smilling staff....a galss of champagne to follow , before the resident manager Vaso introduse us the hotel and our room.with the best possible views, very romantic.
Room was quite comfrtable, as we are extended travellers trouhtout Europe,we know most of the upscalse properties are very stylish but not that comfortable, our room has a large bathroom, small living area and fancy bedroom with that amezing view from the private balcony just up front our door.
Breakfast is served upon calling room service at the balcony, o gosh :-))overlooking the sea I couldn't wait to wake up.
They also have a restaurant which is totally not to be missed out.
only a few tables actually spreaded by the pool on a small bridge that they remove during the day.Excellent flavors and service.
We would recomend Chromata to our friends and familly, Santorini is worth the visit,and I will be back one day.

For being on the "Small Luxury Hotels" listing it certainly was a disappointment. The room itself was dark and dreary. I wouldn't say the bathroom was small but the sink was IN the shower because there was no room anywhere else for it. The doorway into the bathroom was about 12 inches off the floor and if you were over 5 feet tall you had to bend not to bump your head. The room color was bubble gum pink and the curtins were pink also. I certainly would never stay here again nor recommend it to anyone. On the positive side, the view was amazing and eating breakfast outside on our terrace (however small) was a nice touch. Santorini is a beautiful island and worth seeing.

I passed through the door of Chromata “Small Luxury Hotel” in the end of August for a few-days escape from Athens. We had reserved an indoor pool suite coasted 450 € a day. The first impression getting into the spacious room was that it was quiet and traditional but also with a dominated smell of chlorine from the pool. In the first minutes of our stay in the room all our impressions got dissolved. The smell of the chlorine from the really frozen pool was getting taking away only with a very noisy and insufficient ventilator. All the furniture was old and full of marks from the use and the air-conditioner had marks of mould and sent away a mixed smell of mould and chlorine so we turned it off. Passing by side through the very small door of the bathroom we saw a dark place full of mould. The linen were crumpled and smelled weird, the TV was tiny and old and the balcony was small and without privacy. I wonder how this hotel belongs to the “Small Luxury Hotels”. Santorini is a beautiful island –ideal for your honeymoon- but don’t waste your money on this hotel. They are not professional and the web site is seductive.
