“You must go here to see what Santorini is about!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 December 2011

person found this review helpful

We stayed here in October 2006 during the last four nights of our two week tour of the Greek Islands. Good time of the year to go to this area, since you are catching the last couple of weeks of the toursit season to this area. No crowds if you were to go in the summer and besides the temperatue was cooler than the summer about 15 degrees difference, since it can get at least 40 degrees celsius. Cliff Side Suites or Grotto Villas as it was called when I was there is worth it. We spent an extra $400 on top of our trip to stay on the cliff side and it is cliff side, or $100 per night for four. Anyway excellent location as you have a kicthenette and the is a grocery store nearby as well as a liqour store and cafe where you can have Mr. George servve you up a cup of coffee. Except you have to climb 72 steps at least to get to these amenities. No a good spot if you have difficulty walking up or down steps!! Breakfasts were great with the spectactular view of the Caldera. I have been talking of this place for five years now and would go back in a heartbeat, only thing different is stay two weeks at Santorini alone! Do not pay attention to when I travelled there, because October 2011 is the latest I can go back!!! There is a gentleman that meets you at the top of the steps to carry your luggage do not say no as you would ahve difficulty to carry your luggage down the winding steps, it is the mans job so take him up on it!!!

Room Tip: n/a as you have an awesome view period!!!!

“Overpriced but nice view”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 August 2011 via mobile

We stayed one night only here and did not have a great experience. It was partly because we had just left a beautiful hotel at Xenones fFilotera. Once we found Cliffside-which was not easy, we walked down the 25 stairs to get to reception. After another 22 steps, we found our room. It was small and the bedding was very dated. We took the 56 steps down to the pool. It was very refreshing if you like cold water. The price was too much for the room. The two good things- they had nice bath towels and a great sunset view.

“Oasis hotel with stunning views and friendly service”

Traveled to Greece with my sister and one of her best friends fir birthday celebration. Triple room (room 108) was spacious, clean and cool. Firm mattresses made for easy sleeping. Great water pressure in shower. Breakfast poolside each morning with bread, meats, cheeses, eggs, bacon, cereal, coffee, juice and water. View of caldera simply breathtaking. Service very friendly and helpful. Close to meeting place for buses and taxis as well as great Internet cafe. Would definitely recommend to friends staying in firostefani.

“fantastic views, origingal cave houses”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 October 2010

people found this review helpful

We had a fantastic 5 night stay at Cliffside. Room 112 and whilst the bedroom was very small the bathroom was huge, with a shower head in the tub....odd. Our balcony was, as most, in a traffic area, but oh what a fantastic view. We soaked in the view every evening, never tired of looking at it. Cliffside is perched up high on the caldera, but on the cliffside of the main road to Fira. Below was Dana Villas so much lower on the caldera and beside us was Mill Houses which looked very fancy. I considered both without knowing their proximity to Cliffside. I was happy with my choice, but Mill Houses did look a little more luxurious. I considered too staying at two different hotels in different areas, maybe if there's a next time. We hired a quad for 1 day and would take it for 2 and spend more time at the beaches on the other side of the island, Perissa, Red Beach. Then look at Oia etc the 2nd day. Worked out only $30 AUD per day plus fuel, down side, no where for your belongings so travel light, small day backpack or a car. Great local restaurants, grocers, cellars. Great scenic walk into Fira mostly downhill an load of steps and then a straight path skirting the road back, no steps no view. We took advantage of the pool and seating for breakfast around the pool had and awesome view too.
