Stayed at the boathouse and absolutely love this place and the town of Kamari. The owners make you feel so welcome Di and the tream are brilliant. The rooms are beautiful, in a traditional way. Certainly a hotel we will return to every couple of years!
We were originally booked to stay there last year for a family wedding but Covid put a stop to that. Therefore we went for an autumn trip this year when it was quieter. Hotel arranged very good transfers from and back to airport. Friendly, helpful staff with excellent breakfast served outside. A nice little bar as well with a friendly barman who also recommended restaurants and places to go. Easy to walk to nearby restaurants and to the bus stop for the bus to Fira from where you can catch buses all over the island.
Firstly a massive thankyou to Diane/spyros and all the amazing staff @ the boathouse all so polite and helpful we had a King Sea / Pool View suite with a very large 8mt long balcony perfect. Forget your clinical hotels this is perfect Greek accommodation with exceptional hospitality. The room was great basic Greek style with Rainwater shower / hairdryer / tea & Coffee making facilities and 2 sets of double balcony doors. We managed to sleep every night with no disturbance with both sets of double doors open and no need for Air con. Now to the amazing breakfasts prepared by Spyros and his staff anything and everything you could wish for all freshly cooked for you - Full English - Fruits - Salads - Yogurts' - every type of egg you could wish for nothing is too much trouble for them - Once you have had their breakfasts you won't need anything until evening. Diane even arrange a Trip around the Island for us with a local tour Company which was great and they collected us 3 mins from Hotel Located right on the beach front with an abundance of local restaurant's right on the door step one of the best restaurant's is Lolos situated approx 300mts from boathouse amazing food and cheaper than on main front If you want a very relaxing, undisturbed Holiday with great accommodation / staff and amazing breakfasts book the Boathouse - we have already booked to go again next year and we no people who have been returning to the Boathouse Year after year…
Just back from a phenomenal stay at Boathouse Santorini. Diane, Spyros and the team are fantastic hosts and make your stay perfect. Spotlessly clean rooms, a generous breakfast, well stocked bar, beachfront location with a swimming pool. Already booked for 2023.
One of the best places I have stayed ( and I am Greek). Beautiful place , clean rooms and pool , friendly owners and the breakfast was one of a kind. The whole experience gave a family-vibe , like going on a holiday with your whole family. I fully recommend it !
I have been returning to the beautiful Boathouse Hotel in Kamari since 2007 and I love how relaxing it is and how friendly and caring the staff are. The hotel is spotlessly clean and the bar / breakfast area is really pretty next to the inviting pool. The breakfast is amazing and is currently still served to you at your table since Covid. The omelettes and pancakes are delicious and the Greek yogurt, honey and nuts is really special. All the rooms are comfortable and inviting and the sea view rooms at the front of the hotel have lovely terraces or balconies. The bar serves a great selection of drinks and is a lovely relaxing area to escape the afternoon sun or spend a chilled evening. The local Donkey beers, local wines and tasty cocktails are amazing and it is lovely to chat to Tina, Will or Iosif as they serve you your drinks. The hotel is at the quieter end of Kamari beach and you can start relaxing as soon as you arrive. I can't wait to return next year!…
Just back from staying in the boathouse hotel. Was perfect location on the beach front. Nice size pool and plenty of sunbeds. The rooms were spotless and clean and was nice to sit out on your own balcony/ veranda. The breakfast was always so good with lots of choice. Plenty of drinks hot and cold. The staff are so friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this hotel.
We stayed in the Garden suite which has two separate bedrooms and two bathrooms. It was perfect for us as we were travelling with our two grown children for a family wedding. The rooms are traditional but the bathrooms are modern, with walk in showers. Aircon is provided and a kettle with cups but you need to provide your own coffee/milk etc. This wasn't an issue for us and there is a mini fridge to keep milk and water cool. The breakfast is outstanding - made to order and you can have practically anything you want and it is served by the pool. The hotel is right on the beachfront which is a great location, just a minutes walk to some of the best restaurants in Kamari (Try the Sunday Lamb at Almira - you will thank me later) but there is a wall separating the pool area from the road so we never felt exposed or uncomfortable with people walking by and any noise is drowned out by the sound of the waves. The staff are so friendly and Diane went out of her way to help me find a hairdresser and florist and many other things I had mithered her about, nothing was too much trouble. Although my favourite staff member was Zeus - the resident kitty. He came to say hello every morning before he started his busy day of resting in the shade. Would highly recommend this hotel to anyone and if we return to Santorini we will return to The Boathouse.…
Me and my husband stayed at the boathouse in May, for 1 week. We were celebrating our 15th wedding anniversary and it was also my birthday whilst we were there. Diane, Spiros, Tina, Joseph and Will all made us feel like family, this really is the most friendly place we've ever stayed. The rooms have a lovely traditional Greek feel, they definitely exceeded my expectations for a 3 star hotel, the hand wash, hand gel and spa shower gel was a lovely touch, also thick pool towels, which often aren't available at 3 star hotels. The breakfast is first class, better than I've had at 5 star hotels, they are all so accommodating and you can literally choose anything you'd like, have 2nd and 3rd portions if you wish. The mixed fruit salads, Greek yoghurt and pancakes are to die for! Spiros even shared the recipe with my husband so that he could recreate them at home! The sunbeds were comfortable and we never had an issue getting 2 together, even though it was half term. Kamari is the perfect base, an amazing selection of bars and restaurants and a direct bus to Fira is also available. This was the best holiday we've had for years, we're currently in Crete with our children, but wish we knew about the Boathouse when we booked this last year as where we are just doesn't compare! We'll definitely be returning with the rest of the family one day. Thank you Spiros, Diane and all the Boathouse staff for making our holiday so memorable. From Carly & Marc x…
I love staying at the boathouse. The staff honestly couldn't be nicer and after just a few days of staying there we felt like family. We loved having a drink and a chat at the bar at the end of every night. It's in a beautiful location with the sea and mountain in view. Plus there are some great restaurants and bars nearby. I loved having a cocktail by the pool and getting the bus off to Fira in the daytime or off to other parts of the island when we wanted. The breakfast is great, they really try to accommodate you. Plus the rooms are always clean and I love their showers. Honestly couldn't recommend this place enough, if you are looking for somewhere to relax and make friends then the Boathouse is for you!
