We recently stayed at Elysian, a boutique hotel in Santorini, hosted by the amazing Eleni and Panos, and I can't express how extraordinary the experience was! From the moment I arrived, they made me feel at home with their warm hospitality and personal touches. The room was incredibly well thought out—every detail was carefully crafted, and it showed. From the design to the amenities, everything was perfect and made for a luxurious and comfortable stay. Eleni and Panos went above and beyond to ensure my stay was perfect, offering excellent recommendations and being readily available for any needs. Their kindness and attention to detail truly made this trip unforgettable.The chef Dēmḗtrios makes amazing croissants and knew to adjust the menu to my seafood allergies which made my stay so much better If you're looking for a unique and exceptional experience, this is it.

The gas heater outside didn’t work and they said it would cost 60 euro to have a gas bottle replaced. That part confused me Other than that our stay was faultless.

Very beautiful rooms. The staff were just amazing. Best experience we had while In Santorini. We tried to stay longer but they were fully booked. No surprise there, it’s a great spot and I would recommend.

From the moment you arrive you know you’re in a very high end establishment. The staff at Elysian Retreat go above and beyond to introduce to not only the retreat, but Santorini itself; making sure to help you organize your travel plans and assist with booking any outings. The retreat itself is gorgeous, with amazing views of the north east side of Santorini. Our room had an amazing picturesque private pool which was a real highlight of our trip. The daily breakfast is actually really good; unlike most hotel breakfasts I can actually recommend this one - we had the hearty breakfast and the vegan option. Thank you again team at the Elysian, you really made our visit to Santorini special!

I cannot fault this accommodation! We absolutely loved our stay here and wished that we could stay longer. I believe it is the perfect location because you get to enjoy peaceful views, without having so many tourists around. It is about a 20 minute walk into the main town of Oia (about 5-10mins up a very steep hill, but manageable). You are much better off staying here and walking into Oia to enjoy the views and get good photos, rather than stay in Oia, as there are just too many people, and I don’t think it would be very peaceful. The room itself, was top quality and we lovedddd the design features! Stunning! We chose to enjoy breakfast in our room which was delicious and it was so special to enjoy it by our private pool. The bed was extremely comfortable, the shower was beautiful, and the room had all the amenities that we needed. Finally, the staff were just a delight. Thank you so much, we loved our stay here.

We booked the Hotel for only one night Initially as we were planning to try different hotels and experience the different vibes in Santorini Elysian Retreat was our first choice for the first night .. we went to another hotel the second night and then we decided that we will go back for our 3rd night and won’t try anything else! Our Villa was beyond beautiful, comfortable and clean Heated pool was the main reason for us going back! Location is really good! With a car you will be in Oia in 10 mins, 19 mins in Fira and 30 mins to Akrotiri Elena and Paños were beyond welcoming and happy to have us back! They gifted us a bottle of White Wine as a beautiful gesture for their appreciation for coming back We would definitely go back again and again! Lovely lovely place and hospitality!

The Hotel is new, clean, our villa was very spacious and the best part that the pool is always heated! The hotel is located very close to the centre of Oia (less than 10 mins) so when we wanted the crowd we drove there The Hotel gives you the serenity you would need for sure! The staff are beyond welcoming.. they care so much to make you feel their hospitality :) Don’t hesitate to book it if you are looking for luxury, quietness, serenity and contemplating :) it is the place to go to!

nothing. if we could give 11/10, we would. They really go above and beyond to make your experience a perfect memory.

Everything was perfect. The staff was very friendly and helped us with all our wishes. From renting a car to giving us extra free coffee capsules. Breakfast is served at any time of your choosing and delivered to the room. Total relaxation is guaranteed.

We had to leave :)

It's hard to find negative things to say about the retreat. Be it the spacious rooms with the private pool, the amazing staff or the perfect location (close to oia but far enough from the city noise), our stay was beyond expectations. Eleni & Panos are extremely nice people and ensured a home-like feeling for us throughout the entire stay. They went well and beyond with boat excursion reservation and car rental and general tips for the island. The common pool area was also a spoiling edition, swimming in an infinity pool with a volcano view and a bar to meet our cocktail needs. An experience to stay with us for years to come. Highly recommended place!

All was good

We booked villa Grace, i think with heated infinity pool and it was the ticket. Its an outstanding place to spend your holidays. The views are lovely. Place is extreamly quiet, you will not be distrupted. The paid breakfast was really nice, however perhaps for a slightly higher price, it could be included in the booking. Snacks we have tried were lovely too and the drinks were well made, the way they should be. Theres also a shareing pool with is nice. The room is well equipped, you get all u need. If im ever back in santorini it is very likely i will return to Elysian Retreat. Finally, you will be very well looked after and the hosts will go out of their way to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. Greetings to everyone @ Elysian Retreat Santorini .

We loved the location and private pool the peacefulness and romance of the place was perfect.

Nothing. The property is away from the centre of Pia and a decent 25-30min walk but we actually loved being away from the hustle and bustle and returning to our quiet retreat after a busy day of exploring.

We loved the retreat like property. Our personal plunge pool was beautiful as was our room. The staff were super friendly and helpful and made our stay extra special. They really made us feel like rockstars and didn’t let us lift a finger. The food and bar was great too. As was the additional laundry service for an additional 20 euros they washed, dried and folded our clothes which meant we didn’t have to search for a laundromat Highly recommend this place.

Absolutely nothing. This place is perfection, managed by an incredible team.

We had the pleasure to stay at this stunning property for 2 nights, our only disappointment was that it was not longer. From initial booking through to check-in the amazing staff including Panos & Eleni, were efficient and helpful with our questions regarding dining options, transport etc. We stayed in the magnificent Villa Harmony Sea View (Villa 10) with an enormous private swimming pool and an outdoor seating area bigger than most people's apartments! We arrived hours before planned 15.00 check-in time however Panos facilitated a quick housekeeping turnaround of our villa so that we could unpack and start enjoying our private sanctuary. Likewise, the delightful Eleni graciously allowed us a late check out of 14.00pm which was amazing, we were so thrilled to have those extra few hours to savour this magnificent retreat. Oia is a 15-20min walk from the resort, close enough to see the sights however far enough away from the chaos of Oia, it was heaven to arrive back to our Villa to enjoy our sea view, catch the breeze and sip on a cocktail prepared by the beautiful Konstantina What a delightful young lady she is, nothing is too much trouble and she is there 12 hours every day always with a smile and wonderful welcome. Thank you to the team for providing us with a perfect two days to end what has been an incredible month long vacation in Europe. Santorini has been on our bucket list for so many years and choosing this resort was the smartest thing we could do. We have stayed in many, many hotels/resorts over the years, Elysian Retreat, Oia is our number one! We intend to return same time next year and can't wait to experience this little piece of paradise again!

Our experience in Elysian Retreat was just amazing! The stuff was just kind and super helpful with all our needs(car and boat rentals, recommendations about restaurants and attractions in the island) weeks before our arrival! The facilities of the room are wonderful - the private pool with amazing view and the big and comfortable room. It's very close to Oia but still quiet and relaxing. Super recommend! Thanks

We don't have anything to complain.

The view from the room and private pool towards the sea, watching the sun go down. The hospitality of the full team and the lovely breakfast in the morning which was served onto the room. We had a lot of help choosing several activities.

The Elysian Retreat was the most relaxing getaway. It was in the quieter part of Oia, but still close to everything. The splash pool was so nice after a long day in the sun, and the hosts were so responsive and helpful. When we come back to Santorini, my husband and I will definitely stay here again.

Clean, comfortable and very nicely designed. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Always available for any questions or requests.
