Had a wonderful stay at Esperas in Oia. The views of the Santorini Caldera are amazing and we were very spoiled by the sunset views. Our room was very clean and perfect for what we needed and we looked forward to our breakfasts every morning with that incredible view. The front desk/concierge was very helpful and and bell hops made our lives easier bringing our luggage through the tough hike up and down. Fair warning though, there are a good amount of steps so not great for those who are immobile. Overall, incredible time at Esperas and would love to come back next time we're in Santorini.

Our stay here was lovely! We felt so spoiled!! We were met at the hotel by a very strong “Georgian” man who carried allll of our luggage down many walkways and dozens of stairs to the hotel reception and ultimately our room (dozens of stairs more) then greeted with cool beverages and treats as we checked in. All the staff were so polite and eager to assist in any way necessary to make out stay the best. The views from the restaurant, which is also where breakfast is served are breathtaking and something we never tired of. If sunset views are a priority to you, you will get no better viewing than here and you won’t have to fight the crowds for them either. The location was not as crowded which made for a more relaxing/ quiet feel. If you are looking to be in the middle of the masses and see all the stereotypical white cave like structures all around you, this might not be the place for you. It is the end of the “strip” in Oia near the castle ruins and so you see a good bit of the rugged cliff, not as much of all the white structures. For us it was perfect! So many people vacation to this beautiful island and it was nice to feel a little secluded from the chaos and yet close to great dining options. The facilities and service were top notch!! We would definitely go back. Highly recommend Esperas!
