Ηλιότοπος(Heliotopos)

Όταν έψαξα για το ξενοδοχείο της Σαντορίνης, έκλεισα αμέσως αυτό το ξενοδοχείο όταν ήξερα ότι υπάρχουν υπόσκαφα σπίτια εδώ. Έμεινα δύο νύχτες. Απολαμβάνω κάθε στιγμή εδώ. Το μέρος είναι πολύ όμορφο και τυπικό Σαντορίνη! Μόνο λευκά και μπλε χρώματα 🤩. Το δωμάτιό μου είναι εξαιρετικά ευρύχωρο με μικρή κουζίνα, τραπεζαρία, άνετο κρεβάτι king-size και όλα όσα χρειάζομαι. Υπάρχει μια βεράντα έξω από το δωμάτιό μου και έχει υπέροχη θέα στη θάλασσα και την Οία. Θα μπορούσα να δω το ηλιοβασίλεμα από εδώ, αλλά ήμουν άτυχος που ο καιρός δεν ήταν καλός κατά τη διάρκεια της παραμονής μου και δεν μπορούσα να δω. Ένα μίνι μάρκετ βρίσκεται ακριβώς απέναντι από το ξενοδοχείο και υπάρχουν μερικά εστιατόρια και καταστήματα με σουβενίρ σε κοντινή απόσταση. Το ξενοδοχείο βρίσκεται στο Ημεροβίγλι ανάμεσα στα Φηρά και την Οία. Απέχει 30 λεπτά με τα πόδια από τα Φηρά όπου βρίσκονται οι δράσεις. Συνήθως περπατούσα στα Φηρά από το ξενοδοχείο, αλλά πήρα ταξί κατά την επιστροφή (κανονική τιμή 15 ευρώ για λιγότερο από 10 λεπτά). Το προσωπικό είναι πολύ ωραίο, ευγενικό, εξυπηρετικό και υπομονετικό, ειδικά η κυρία κατά τη διάρκεια της ημέρας, που εκτιμώ πολύ (βρίσκω ότι η φιλοξενία ή το χαμόγελο είναι πολυτέλεια στην Ελλάδα γενικά και πάντα εξαιρείται στην τιμή σε ξενοδοχεία/εστιατόρια 😵‍💫) . Οι στάσεις λεωφορείων που πηγαίνουν στην Οία και τα Φηρά δεν είναι πολύ κοντά και τα λεωφορεία δεν είναι συχνά. Έτσι, κυρίως περπάτησα ή πήρα ταξί που είναι πολύ ακριβό. Το νερό της βρύσης στη Σαντορίνη είναι αλμυρό και το ξενοδοχείο παρέχει ευγενικά ένα μεγάλο μπουκάλι πόσιμο νερό. Υπάρχουν δύο εστιατόρια στο ξενοδοχείο. Το πρωινό δεν είναι πολύ υπέροχο για μένα, έτσι περπάτησα στα Φηρά για πρωινό την τελευταία μου μέρα. Επιπλέον, ξεκινά στις 8:30 π.μ. μόνο που είναι μάλλον αργά για μένα. Η ηλιοφάνεια στη Σαντορίνη ξεκινά ήδη στις 7 το πρωί και ανυπομονούσα να κάνω περιπέτεια μόλις ξύπνησα. Συνολικά, συνιστώ ανεπιφύλακτα αυτό το ξενοδοχείο. Είναι το μέρος των ονείρων μου στη Σαντορίνη. Έχω τραβήξει τόνους φωτογραφιών εδώ. 😅😹

Cute hotel tucked into the hills of Imerovigli. Great views, super friendly and accommodating staff, great breakfast buffet comes included. Every room has a balcony overlooking the caldera, delivering magnificent sunsets every day. Recommend wholeheartedly!

My mom, sister, and I dined and had delicious food and drinks in this cave wine bar. The White and Purple lady cocktails were amazing as well as the food options recommended by Joseph-his service was top notch. The intimate setting, music, and relaxed vibe made the entire evening exceptional. We had the evening’s special, Stifado (beef stew) and it was DELICIOUS! We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and highly recommend!

This was the most amazing place. I went with my daughters. We had the cutest room and the view was amazing. Joseph, the manager took such good care of us. He arranged all our tours, transportation, and answered all of our questions. I had always dreamed about a trip like this to Greece and the Heliotopos hotel and Wine Bar were perfect. It was so nice to come back to hotel after a full day of touring and just walk a few steps to dinner. The food and cocktails at the Wine Bar were excellent. I will definitely stay here again.

This hotel offers traditional cave-style suites built into the hillside. Our suite was spacious but cozy, furnished with antiques and the owner's original artwork. There was a small kitchenette next to the entry, and we found the small fridge handy for chilling our bottled water. The balcony with a table and two chairs overlooked the spectacular caldera. The bed was comfortable, and the bedroom was extremely quiet at night. The stairs going down into the bedroom were fairly steep with no railing, but we considered that part of the adventure of staying high on a cliff in Imerovigli. Luckily, the bathroom was right next to the bedroom area! We loved the cave-style restaurant for breakfast. The breakfast included either traditional spanakopita or cheese pie; a baked egg casserole; yogurt with fruit, nuts, oats, etc.; toast; baked goods; a large selection of jams/marmalades and honey; and coffee made to order by a barista. Every day we found that the maid had cleaned our room while we were at breakfast. From the hotel, there are walking trails that lead to Skaros Rock and Fira. Oia is a challenging two-hour hike away, so we opted to hire a taxi to get us there and back. Across from the street entrance to the hotel is a supermarket where you can buy food and drinks, alcoholic beverages, and souvenirs. The hotel includes a lovely-looking outdoor wine bar, but we were so busy exploring that we never took advantage of it. We were very impressed with our concierge, Suela, who patiently and cheerfully answered all our questions. She set us up with friendly, talkative drivers to take us to Oia, Megalochori, and back to the port when it was time to go. She also recommended two great restaurants: nearby Aegean for gorgeous sunset views, and Krinikis, a traditional Greek restaurant less than a kilometre from Oia. Overall, we were very happy we chose this hotel and would return if we ever get the chance.

A beautiful hotel with an incredible view. The customer service was fantastic. I had a wonderful massage in my room. The view from our room was incredible so we enjoyed that but there was often a lot of traffic near us because of it so not very private although other rooms seemed more private. The water is not desalinated so be prepared to wash yourself with salty water and pay for any fresh water you may need. Everyone spoke english very well and were eager to accommodate us.

Beautiful and quiet surroundings close to the water and tavernas. An absolute gem with clean and airy rooms and access to the garden and fruit trees. Bicycles available on site. Helpful and friendly staff ☺️ I will come back ❤️

Excellent location, very welcoming staff (nothing was too much trouble), clean rooms, local produce for breakfast and outstanding views.

We just had a drink in the bar, and it was a lovely experience - rooftop bar and very nice & welcoming staff. We were the last people in the bar but they stayed until we were finished and ready to go, very nice, thoroughly recommended.
