Yes, there are a lot of steps around here. But the short climb up to the windmill above involves some spectacular views, and from there it's just a short stroll along beautiful little alleys (and steps) to the main "street" of Oia with all the shops and restaurants you need. This hotel does appear to be exactly in the premier... more

We stayed at Esperas as the last leg of our honeymoon in Greece. This hotel was amazing- everything other reviewers have mentioned. The location is perfect. Every night, people gather on one side of town to watch the sunset- the hotel is right here, so you can sit on your balcony, enjoy a glass of wine, and watch the amazing... more

We stayed in room 118 and think that it is much better than the other rooms. Simply because it is on the bottom so no one will pass by your room and you get absolute privacy. The view from this hotel is really great too. (it seems that not all the cave houses in Oia can have sunset view). Some... more

Just returned from Greece ,including a four day stay in Oia. We enjoyed our stay at the Esperas Traditional Houses, primarily because of the sensational views. This property has a big "Wow" factor, from early morning until the last rays of sunset. You just can't get enough of it. The traditional cave rooms are interesting, and the staff is accomodating,... more

Esperas more than exceeded our expectations in all ways. The staff were very helpful and the location was perfect. You are a short stroll (quite a few steps) from the main pedestrian street in town and the views from the balconies are incredible. The pool was wonderful as well. This is a very romantic hotel and I think most of... more

This was the highlight of our Greece trip. This is one of the few places we have stayed where the photos on the website are amazing, and yet we were still blown away by the reality. It exceeded our expectations in every way, the outstanding view, the excellent service, the quality of the breakfast and complimentary toiletries, the free bottle... more

Everything was perfect - the staff was incredibly helpful and kind, the room was comfortable, clean and cool, and the pool area and spectacular views were beyond what we could have imagined. We had the perfect view for the famous Oia sunsets, and were overwhelmingly pleased with all of the complimentary items: local wine, dvd rentals, computer use and breakfast.... more

We stayed four nights at Esperas Houses in July 09. We had originally planned to stay at Alexander Villas--the website looked great, but at the last minute, thanks to TripAdvisor reviews, I realized the hotel did not have a pool and that was important to us, so we bit the bullet and paid the extra euros to stay at Esperas... more

My wife and I stayed here for 4 nights on our honeymoon. The view of the caldera from our room was breathtaking. Each evening we sat on our private terrace to watch the sun slowly set over the Mediterranean. For the most part our stay was perfect. One day there was some minor construction (they were building a fence of... more
