lauda is BY FAR the best & my favourite place that i have ever stayed anywhere!!! (this review is looong overdue but SO called for!) i visited santorini twice during the spring of 2010 (while studying on a neighbouring island) and staying at lauda, which I did twice, was literally one of the highlights of my time in greece. on...

This place is amazing and such good value! You will not be disappointed!

What you need to know up front: You have to call to make a reservation and Nectarina doesn't even need a credit card to hold your room:) Just call again a week ahead to confirm. And, you must pay cash upon leaving. Why it's worth it: The view is second to none, you are in the middle of all of... More

I was quite overwhelmed searching for the right hotel in Oia. I had put Lauda towards the bottom of our list because you had to call to make reservations versus booking online with a confirmation number.

Also, you don´t have to forget that this is a traditional hotel and apartment so don´t expect the luxuries of a five stars... More

I went for a holiday around Greece with my husband and my parents. We had already spent a few days in Crete and Athens before we headed to Santorini. I booked hotels in Crete and Athens based on Lonely Planet (midrange hotels) and both the hotels we stayed in were amazing till we reached Lauda in Santorini. I had booked... More

Lauda hotel is one of the most friendly, beautiful and pleasurable places we have stayed in. In a bustling city like Oia in mid-July, it was a haven of calm where we could relax by the pool or on our room balconies, and the views were spectacular. We spent many hours chilling in the pool reading a book. The owners... More
