Elysian Santorini Oia

I had a wonderful time at the Elysian Retreat in Greece with my husband for a very special occasion. The whole experience was peaceful, relaxing, and truly memorable. One of the highlights for me was the presence of the beautiful ginger and grey cat around the hotel, as a cat lover, this made my stay even more special. They were so sweet and added a unique charm to the place. I really hope every guest treats them with the love they deserve. The sunset view from our private pool was absolutely stunning. Highly recommend for romantic getaways!

It was our family's first time in Santorini. Staying at Elysian was amazing. The rooms are very clean, bright, plenty of space and beautifully decorated. The location is perfect for our family. It's only 15-20 mins walk away from Oia. Our teenage daughters have their own room next to ours and we each have our own private pool. My husband enjoyed relaxing in the pool everyday. It was very nice that we're close to Oia but still have a peaceful and quiet time away from the busy crowded tourist areas. The staff were amazing. Eman is the best! She helped us out with everything. She's very accommodating and very nice. The breakfast was also great, even the breakfast area's relaxing. We really enjoyed our stay at Elysian. We will definitely stay there again next time we come back to Santorini. We highly recommend Elysian Resort.

Lovely staff, always looking to help from the very first minute with a porter helping carry the luggage and guiding through the narrow street. It's near enough Oia, with a 20-30 min walk, but still manages to be in a really quiet region. Of course this has it's pros and cons, the biggest advantage to me is having more privacy and be able to relax but it doesn't have the best views, I personally would never exchange that for a place in Oia with hundreds of tourists invading your balcony. There's 2 really good restaurants nearby (although expensive) and you can find more options in Oia and even supermarkets. There was complimentary wine (produced in their own vineyard!), water, coffee. We had a rental car and we could park in the nearby free parking lot (5 min walk) fairly easily most of time but was told it would be harder in the high season. This was probably the fanciest hotel I ever stayed. Be aware photos are only illustrative, if you want to have a specific room I would try contacting them beforehand to double-check (which I didn't, although I reviewed information on multiple sites, genuinely believing I made the right decision). We had a problem with that because I believed I had booked the "red cave pool" room, this was a pretty special occasion as I had just proposed to my girlfriend one day before arrival and I was honestly bummed out when I found out the room was diferent. Don't get me wrong, it was still INCREDIBLE, but it wasn't exactly what I was expecting. Due to that they immediately went out of their way to check if that one room was available and considering it wasn't, they upgraded us to the bigger room which was great with a bigger and more private pool (be aware that most rooms have pools that can be seen by others) It didn't have the best view though as the sea/horizon was obstructed by a unfinished building in a neighboring villa (not the prettiest thing to look at in Santorini - with bricks on display and all) and the room also felt a little empty and not so comfy, almost like they don't book it a lot so it doesn't get a lot of love... in comparison our original room, although smaller, felt a lot more cozier. Unfortunately we also had bad luck as the weather was terrible and we didn't take much advantage of pool, ofc this is not their fault but due to that Santorini as a whole was not what we pictured, so the issue with the room added to that as the trip didn't really go as expected and I was a little frustrated.

Was our first trip to Santorini! Everything was perfect! Definitely recommend 🩷

We had the pleasure of staying here with a group of friends in September. The hotel is in the small village of Finikia. We rented a car and the car park is a bit of a walk from the hotel, but they met us and helped to carry the luggage. The rooms are beautiful and the views are too. Finikia is a about a 15 min walk to Oia. If you have any mobility issues, it will be a challenge for you. However, once you get out to the parking lot, you can taxi for 15E each way. The restaurants in Finikia are also great. We liked having breakfast delivered each morning and enjoyed eating on the patio. The views are not of the caldera, but the sunsets are still spectacular. Oia is so busy, so it was nice to get away and be in the little village.
