Vila di Santorini

Since my one week stay in Oia with Amaya, I have been debating what my review would be. Here is where I weight out: 1. I would NOT stay at this brand / group again 2. It might be a risk if you manage to get 50% off the price as I did. But I would have been angry to have paid more 3. With the exception of the property manager, the onsite staff tried hard within the confines of what they had 4. At one point, these cave villas were probably as good as they could get. But with so much modernization, there are just too many better properties than these dated villas 5. The location is absolutely stunning. Getting the chance to stay in a MODERN white cave villa is like a bucket list item. So, here is the deal. I chose a week, in January – the VERY off season, because I wanted quiet and to return to Santorini. A big travel company offered this place at a very big discount. I jumped at the chance. What I experience, was a villa that was in a stunning location. And with a very stunning view. But the management of the villa. And the modernization of the villa is just not good enough anymore. WHAT I LIKED: - There was a attendant names “Vali” who was very helpful and responsive, despite the manager not being responsive. (Note to anyone staying here. You are SIXTY STEPS down the hill to your villa. You definitely need an attendant to help with luggage. Vali was marvelous. But if you have knew or other health problems, be aware that this is not an easy place to get up / down on. - The view was amazing. - But be aware that you are in the path at sunset to Sunset point. It becomes quite busy on your little path at that time - I am a cat lover. Be aware there are hundreds of cats near the villa. If you leave your doors or windows open – they do come in. Most are cautious. But you have to be comfortable with cats – or forever keep your windows doors closed. - The daily breakfast was marvelous. The person who cooked it and delivered it was attentive. She made generous breakfast that was delicious. The location, at the very near end of OIA was quiet WHAT I DID NOT LIKE: - The good news about booking in January is that 97% of the tourists have gone away. You really have the area to yourself. But – the flipside is that during this low season, there is a ton of renovation happening. In the day, when you want quiet and sunshine, you are getting drilling sounds. Hammering sounds. And a lot of local workers making improvements. You won’t get this in mid to high season – but this was not enjoyable. - The manager just was not professional. It began when a note was sent out, encouraging you to make a reservation with them for the transport from the airport. Ok. It sounded like a good idea. She promised a “reliable and very professional” service. For a price that I would learn is about double the price of others who will do the same on the island. I arrived to the airport. No sign. No transport. Everyone from the plane had left, and I was left. I eventually was able to reach

とても大きな部屋で、洗面バストイレも2つあり最高でした。ジャグジーもついていて、朝食も無料でついてました。オーナーもとても良い人でした。清潔でとても気持ちよく利用することができました。

We’ve stayed in 3 different hotels in Santorini, Charisma is definitely the best one. Amazing view, stylish room, private balcony, friendly staff. The gentleman at front desk is always very nice and helpful. Every detail is perfect here. Also a terrific place to enjoy the stunning sunset. It’s a great place to celebrate our anniversary. We’ll recommend this hotel to our friends and will come back next time when we visit Santorini. 我們在聖托里尼選擇了3間不同的酒店，Charisma遠遠好於其他兩間評分接近的酒店。 這裡有迷人的愛琴海及風車景觀，品味良好的的房間，能夠享受私人時光的露台，以及非常專業友善的工作人員。在前台工作的男士總是帶著快樂的笑容。 這裡的每一個細節都很完美。房間的露台即是觀賞聖島日落的絕佳地點。 我們在這裡度過了愉快的紀念日，我們也會很樂意向我們的朋友推薦這間酒店。期待下次來聖島再訪此地。

房間和風景都很漂亮！可以在房間外坐着看日出日落。房間設施不錯，有麵包機還有咖啡膠囊機，還給拖鞋！美中不足就是浴缸在室外，不是很乾凈，沒法泡澡。而且mini bar的東西都要收費（都這麼貴的酒店了TT） 🔔服務：特別特別好！工作人員態度超級好！入住給水還給我們升級了房間，提前問好我們想要吃的早餐類型，第二天就給送到房間來了。還送了我們一人一杯香檳！並且因為oia的路很難走，我們還讓酒店幫忙把我們的行李送到車站了，服務真的💯！ 🧹衛生：很乾凈很乾凈！整個房間都是香香的，床也超級軟，很舒服！

We arrived Santorini on Monday 18th morning while we stayed at another hotel. We found Canvas Hotel at the entrance and first met Dimitris with welcome smile, we told him we were going to stay at Canvas on Wednesday 20th, he is so kind and warm welcoming and let us leave the luggages there while we were waiting another hotel to pick up. On Wednesday we arrived Canvas at 1:00 PM and we were promptly greeted by Dimitris with orange juices while we waited for our room to be ready before 3:00 PM. Once the room was ready, Dimitris took us to our room, while other staff members took our luggage. The room was absolutely beautiful, clean, it was a multi- story room with a beautiful Jacuzzi on the top floor with stunning views. Dimitris, the staff at breakfast, the housekeeping staff and the luggage staff are so nice, smiling, kind and good service. It is so impressive. Dimitris organized a taxi for us to go to the airport and kept luggage's for us till 7 pm. Thanks so much for Dimitris and your team for your warm welcome, and hospitality. It was amazing stay and we made many memories to last a lifetime!. Look forward to coming back to Canvas Suite, Oia Santorini and meeting you in the future.
