Stayed in Santorini for 10 days and lived in two different types of hotels, both of which were super good! Oia Mansion is a cultural heritage with a history of over a hundred years in the town of Oia in Santorini. A year before I set off for Santorini, I have booked online and have been looking forward to staying because I am deeply attracted by its history. For a century-old building, it is well preserved. Friday, September 28, 2018, on the day of check-in!I am amazed that it is actually more beautiful than the picture, while the Vipassana is more stylish and the decoration feels like a royal family. Oia Mansion has an invincible landscape and watch the sunset! It is managed by a fourth-generation family member. The breakfast was very good, just booked the night before, the manager Lily was very friendly and enthusiastic, and her mother and sister and all the chefs were super friendly, treated like family, and gave me a big bamboo. Surprise! Really moved! Thank you guys! Embrace each other on the last day and reluctant to everyone! Next time we will definitely come back to live here. 在聖托里尼住了10天,住在兩種不同類型的酒店,兩者都超級棒! 伊亞大廈是一座文化遺產,在聖托里尼島的伊亞鎮擁有一百多年的歷史。 早於出發前往聖托里尼的一年前,我已經在網上預訂,一直期待入住,因為我被它的歷史深深吸引。 2018年9月28日星期五,入住那天!我很驚訝它實際上比圖片更漂亮,而內觀更時尚,裝飾感覺像一個王室。 以過百年歷史的建築來說,算是保存得很好。 Oia Mansion擁有無敵景觀,觀看日落!由傳承第四代家族成員管理。 早餐很豐盛,只須前一晚預訂便可,管理人Lily很友善又熱情,而且她的媽媽及妹妹及一眾廚師都超友善,好像家人一樣對待我們,還給了我一竹很大的驚喜!真的很感動!多謝你們! 在最後一天更互相擁抱,捨不得大家!下次我們一定會再回來住在這裡。…
You can't go wrong booking the Oia Mansion. Plan your trip to Santorini around the availability of this property. It is worth the price of admission without question. The recent reviews are so accurate. The experience of enjoying the sunset experience above the crowds; indeed, with those outside the gate wondering "how did they find this place." The service provided by Lily and her mother was terrific. They arranged transportation from the Ferry Terminal and also to the airport on departure. They arranged tours while in Santorini, but the magic of simply absorbing this property was the highlight. Again, plan your trip to Santorini around your ability to book this home.
We came to santorini and first booked at strogili traditional homes. We found that location to be very well reviewed and suitable for families. What we found upon arrival it was a very small room, great views and decent service but accommodations that were just far too small and spartan for our taste and for our family of four. We decided to find another place and booked this mansion even though it was at an additional cost lost to the other place. How many times you going to go to Santorini in your life? Gotta do it right, right?!? So glad we did Without hyperbole, this is one of the finer properties that we’ve ever had the opportunity to stay at. The location - It was unique in that we were able to stay in different locations during our same trip. There are pros and cons for this location. I didn’t hesitate booking it because it was rated a 10 on location; this is directly related because of the views of the sunset. With the sunset views comes the crowds, especially in high season, that surround the home. We almost felt like a movie star celebrity of some sort because you are behind your gated compound with ridiculous views with ample space where you can do jumping jacks and calisthenics and outside the gate there are scores of people crowded like at the front row of a rock concert trying to get a view with their smart phone of the ensuing sunset. There is an element of pleasure in that you are living in the exact spot where tourists are taking pictures and doing selfie’s throughout the day. This only applies to the patio. At the top roof deck it’s game over, you feel like you are the king of the castle and on top of the world. The sunset views are ridiculous. Quite possibility one of the most gorgeous we’ve ever witnessed. In terms of proximity towards markets and restaurants were walking distance to several - check my profile for other reviews - we also recommend paradox Thai (because they deliver which is great, especially if you’re near sunset time). The house - It is a four bedroom mansion. This house is perfect for four couples that are traveling together. We had way more space than we needed for us and our 3 year old and 4 month old, but we appreciated it especially given the contrast from our previous hotel. There are three bathrooms throughout the home in total. When honestly we have stayed in better bed or bedroom/bathroom combinations, but the main living space, the front patio deck, the top roof view, and the spa/mini pool on the roof made up for the more pedestrian bedroom accommodations. There’s ac units throughout and Beautiful barrel vaulted living room and dining room areas that are picturesque remind you that you’re living in a piece of history. Kitchen set up for a butler style layout. It’s accessible through a separate entry. It’s a full working kitchen for a mansion. The house has a phenomenal Sonos System that after I got the hang of the control, gave us wireless fidelity speakers w individual control for whatever music we wanted to during our stay which was beautiful. Music is an important compliment. The Wi-Fi is awesome and fast Where this home could improve? In a year or two it will need an eventual remodel and updating of the bathrooms. I can’t say that interior is exquisite but it’s very nice. Again, it’s the views and the location - and lily (see below) that make up for any shortcomings of the interior of the home. Pros This stay would not have been the same without the coordinating help of the property concierge Lily. She was our ‘fixer’, chef, housekeeper, concierge, general enthusiast, and general badass all-in-one. Every morning we sat down in the patio to an exquisite breakfast made to order. Fresh fruits, delicious coffee, pancakes, eggs, toast, cheese, you name it. We were also able to do laundry and have it folded without a cost which is been a super big help especially on a long trip with family. Lastly, the best component of this home is the 270° panoramic views from the caldera to the northern islands adjacent to Santorini. Legit amazing we made a point to take in the stars with a glass of vin santo each night. Cons - The crowds at sunset are a bit tough to deal with especially if you were trying to go somewhere at that time. It is like a legitimate traffic jam in front of your home, but you wouldn’t get the views, so at the end of the day it’s just something you have to deal with and appreciate. Also, just six in terms of the taxi/driver service to the port or airport are a bit more challenging because there are no immediate vehicle roads to the house, everything is accessed by foot. You have to walk about 5-6 minutes to the nearest parking lot area where your luggage can be loaded into a car, (but we were assisted with this each step of the way by Lilly and the team). Overall, we are so glad that we canceled our original booking and finished our stay at the oia mansion. It’s a one-of-a-kind experience that we will not soon forget, and one of the most beautiful sunsets that we have ever taken in. I understand that it’s a property valued about €10 million, so if you find this place to be average then you better be a billionaire 😉…
What an amazing house and view from the roof-deck! Perfect place for the legendary Oia sundowner! Thanks a lot to Lily and her mother for the best breakfast experience we had for a long time. Served in a lovely house with beautiful Interieur - all details are just perfect. And finally the Sonos Sound System in all Areas of the building - even on the Roof-deck... the Kids loved to sit in the warm pool listening to the Music and enjoying the sundowner. They will never Forget! Thanks a lot to Lily and Nadja!
We stayed in the Oia Mansion for 5 nights in late August. It was hands-down the most amazing place we've stayed in. If you go to Santorini, you HAVE to stay here! Lily met us from our airport transfer and looked after us right up until we were on the plane home! She made our stay very comfortable and her mother cooked breakfast for us every morning, which was such a nice touch. The roof terrace with the hot tub was definitely the standout feature. Whilst other tourists are standing like sardines in the boiling heat for hours waiting for the spectacular Santorini sunset, we had our own beautiful terrace!! The location was good. It was in the slightly quieter part of town but a short 2 min walk would lead you to the main street with all different restaurants, markets, and bars. Really really lovely stay, I would really recommend this gorgeous place!…
