    The best place to stay in Oia for a truly memorable and authentic Santorini experience
    • Leisure trip

    Such a unique and interesting property providing the best sunset views in Oia. The windmill has been beautifully restored and we loved all the design details. We went for dinner early so that we could get back to watch the sunset and when we walked back, there were crowds jostling for a glimpse of the sunset all along the narrow streets. We felt very lucky to be able to view the sunset from two different vantage points at The Sunset Windmill without worrying about the crowds. It was the highlight of our trip. Jason was also brilliant, so helpful and provided us with a gorgeous breakfast the next morning. There is also parking nearby, which can be a real problem in Oia if you are travelling by car.

    First of all Jason was a great host. He arranged our luggage and prepared a nice traditional breakfast. He helped us with car renting. Also the location of the property is great. First time staying in a Windmil.

    My family enjoyed their time at this property and have nothing negative to say. We would definitely come back.

    Location, location, location - this property is easy walking distance to everything you want to see in Oia; it also provides an easy exit from town on northern road for sightseeing. Host Andreas and Jason are top notch.

    maybe makes u lazy to go out because u love to stay in

    So beautiful house with killer view! People come to Oia for sunset and view and I have it here 24x7 ! Place is uber clean, The towels and sheets smells so good. it has cute kitchen, free coffee pods. cute shops and restaurants nearby. It is also near the road so not so hard to bring bags with the steps. but anyway George will take care of everything!

    Nothing - everything was perfect!

    We loved everything about Sunset Windmill! George was an amazing host- he helped us with all of our arrangements (taxis, etc.). We made the mistake of not reaching out to him to arrange transportation to the property (and took a bus that took forever to get there) but learned our lesson after that. The views from the place are incredible - pictures do not do them justice. People flocked to see the sunset from this location. It was convenient to shops and restaurants. Overall, a fabulous experience!

    No microwave or toaster oven and that's only because we have picky children who love their food hot!

    LOCATION! Located at the top of the caldera and at the end of the shops, it was a perfect location for shopping and the balcony view of the sunset is priceless! Our host George was a life saver! Anything you need at anytime he's there for you, be it, food delivery, restaurant suggestions, drivers and breakfast on the patio he'll make it happen! Ilias and Ana we're also very helpful with our stay. Our drivers Juliano and Julia got us where we needed to be safe and sound!

    We ran into no water issue but it was an issue that day in Santorini so cannot blame the hotel, also a water clogging issue - again, dont flush your tissues in the toilet in Europe so cannot blame the hotel but in both situations, George helped us with everything fairly quickly to make this our best experience. thank you.

    Exccellent location, views to die for, privacy, sunset from your balcony, Does not have too many steps like other hotels in Santorini in general. city centre, restaurant, market, Oia castle, bus stop a little walk away, staff and manager was so helpful. If you are 6 people staying, its great value for money. Even for 2 people the view is worth the price! You cannot go wrong with this one, go for it!

    I don’t think there is anything I didn’t like

    The location!!! Incredible view. You don’t have to go anywhere for sunset point . You can watch straight from your big balcony. It is a Great Value for money Enjoyed staying: very close to everything. 2 min walk to main oia road , 2 min walk to parking area, 5 min walk to bus stand. There are lots of restaurants and shops nearby. Cheerful and welcoming atmosphere. Room were very big and really cleaned . You can order breakfast as well there in 15 euros ( watever u like) . George is d Best host ever . He will help you with your luggage to parking area and bus stop. Very helpful host . you just tell your problem and he will fix it in minutes. We wanted to drink tea at night and all shops were closed . I texted him if he can arrange for 2-3 tea bags and in few minutes he was there with tea bags. I wish I could post a video here for the view that you can see from balcony . I will recommend it to everyone .Everything was so amazing ..

    This was an amazing find with amazing sunset views and prime location. It’s a quick walk to for getting picked up and to all the shops and restaurants. It’s quick and easy to get to the busy area but is quiet and private area with a patio and seats for sunrise. The interior was nicely decorated and everything was quite comfortable with a unique setting. The best part of our stay was George, the property manager. He is quick to respond 24/7 for any needs. He gave some great recommendations and assisted with everything, including booking car rentals, taxi and car transfers, excursions, and even ordering food that is delivered right to the doorstep. He was an amazing host with lots of knowledge about the island and good deals. Overall, this was a 10/10 experience for the quality of service and the setting, I definitely recommend!

    Good location but terrible customer service and pre- and post-stay behavior.

    I had messaged the property two days prior to arrival that we intended to arrive an hour earlier than their typical check-in time. They quickly followed up to acknowledge but never told us where to meet them or even how to find the property. There are no signs for it anywhere nearby. My family and I searched for a while and I called their number multiple times with no response. I then messaged the property manager using booking.com app who then sent someone to meet us where we were waiting but obviously there was a long delay. Then he came by himself and pretended he never got the calls until I showed him the call history on my phone. He also suggested I "wasn't listed on WhatsApp" which is how they typically communicate with incoming guests to co-ordinate meetup spot. I told him I am a decade-long user of WhatsApp. He then opened the app and obviously found me very easily. Then the same night, they marked our stay as "pre-paid but didn't show up" with booking.com WHILE WE WERE STAYING THERE!! It deleted the message history in the booking.com app and took off the very expensive stay from my history, affecting my user status with booking.com (I am still worked to get it re-instated). Besides, it kept me from leaving them a review (the main reason they probably did this). I had to work with booking.com customer service staff to finally leave this review. All of that soured our stay by quite a bit.

    The property is three rooms one above the other which is to be expected in a windmill bit you take this property for its spectacular location not it's luxury. That said it is clean and well maintained and provided a holiday adventure

    George who manages the property was v attentive in arranging pickups and dropouts as well as an island tour/wine tasting. He was always available to answer any wieties and to help when we suffered a theft of my wallet in the town
