Casa Florina

Il soggiorno a Casa Florina é stato veramente piacevole. La camera con terrazzino privato che si affaccia sulla caldera è bella, spaziosa e con letto king size. Pulizia e ordine impeccabili. Unico neo il bagno, piccolo e da rimodernare. La terrazza della struttura ha una vista mozzafiato e permette di godersi il tramonto o altri momenti (ad es. colazione) senza raggiungere altri punti panoramici. Non basta una bella struttura ma anche le persone del ricevimento contribuiscono in modo significativo nel rendere il soggiorno piacevole e Jana é stata sempre gentile, accogliente e disponibile per ogni nostra esigenza, quindi si merita un elogio speciale. Prezzo adeguato per posizione e servizi, considerando che ci si trova in una delle zone top dell'isola. Sicuramente la struttura ha fatto la differenza nel rendere il nostro viaggio a Santorini indimenticabile!

The best sides of this place are great hospitality and great views/sunsets. The hosts were very friendly and always ready to help. The bathroom needs an update and if you are sensitive to noises/ privacy you may want to wish for a room upstairs. We enjoyed our stay.

Absolutely wonderful 2 weeks. Needless to say Yana and Panos are the back bone of this lovely little boutique hotel - the font of all knowledge, nothing is too much trouble and always a smile. It won't be to everyones taste as the facilities are limited but everything is well presented. We were in room 1 which is to the side of the reception area - very large room, spotlessly clean, basic bathroom with shower (as to be expected in Greece)and nice seating area outside our door. Every room has its own outside seating area but there is additional areas around the plunge pool and off course the sun terrace which is where many like to have their breakfast.Breakfast is cooked/presented freshly every morning between 8.00-10.00,you make your choice on the morning and it is brought to you wherever you decide you want to eat it. We often sat watching the waiters struggling up and down the cliff side providing breakfast on trays to the very up market accommodation either side of our hotel (we later found out that the cost of staying in these places for 2-3 nights was the same as we had paid for 2 weeks !! just because the all have their own pools with a butler). Location is perfect,best place on the island for sunsets. Plenty of restaurants,supermarkets,pharmacy all within a few minutes walk. Firostefani is the next village down which is a 10 min walk with more shops and restaurants a little cheaper then Fira is another 15 mins further which is the hub with abundance of shops, bars and restaurants which does get very busy especially when the cruise liners are in town ! To sum up we thoroughly enjoyed - the only negatives were been dropped off by Tui at a bus stop with no real direction of how to find the accommodation. (hence having to drag heavy suitcases around steep hills for 25mins before finding it !) and someone has decided to open a bar/nightclub 2 doors away called the Buddha bar which can get very noisy some nights which is a shame because Imerovigli is supposed to be an area for total chilling and getting away from the busy pace of life - don't let it put you off though.

This hotel was fabulous. Janna who runs it could not do enough for all of the guests. Breakfast delicious, location superb, sun terrace with private view of the stunning sunset, whirlpool. I could have wanted for nothing more. As my first solo trip I was made welcome and bedroom was large, airy and cool so I rarely need the air con. I cannot recommend Casa Florina enough (just don't travel with TUI!)

Excellent location in quieter Imerovigli. Beautiful view for breakfast overlooking the sea. Staff were so helpful, arranging taxis, food recommendations. Can’t recommend this place enough for those wishing to avoid the crowds of Fira and Oia and at a reasonable price too!

If I could give a .5 this would be 3.5 and not a 4. But it seems too harsh to mark as a 3. We had a lovely stay here. The hosts are top tier! Yanna is very welcoming and easy going. Clean - The hotel was clean, and their balcony terrace has a great view of the caldera and skaros rock. Probably a better view than what you get in most of the restaurants. So do not worry about rushing to book dinner with a view if you stay here, you have the view there 24/7. Breakfast - The breakfast is great, made fresh to order my the amazing Yanna. You can eat this looking over the view or anywhere else in the hotel. Location - The location is good. Very accessible to thira on foot. If you don’t mind a walk, there are great views all along. If you want an easier walk without views, walk down / up the main road. The negatives: - Very small pool. More like a splash pool. - Lack of facilities in room - tea / coffee etc. - The shower is very small, old and the bathroom is a wet room. So it gets quite wet after you shower. The hotel is a 30min max walk from Thira. Very pleasant, a little tiring. Bring a drink. The walk is much easier on the way down, but it’s nice regardless. If you don’t like to walk and haven’t hired a vehicle, you can get a cab or bus. Cabs seem to be €30-€40 euros, regardless of where you go, unless you negotiate. For example Thira to Oia, Imerovigli to Oia, Imerovigli to Thira, and all of these to the port / airport cost €30-€40. There are few restaurants and bars nearby, Buddha Bar next door. We only tried let’s eat - cheap and cheerful gyros / snack bar. Gyros here used a different sauce to the rest I’ve ever experienced - wasn’t too sure on this. Buses are easy to use from Thira bus station. They use coaches direct from there. Thira to Oia was €1.60 one way pp (cash). If you don’t pay on your way in, you will be charged on your way out.
