  Enjoyed our stay May 2025

  14 Mar 2026

  We had a wonderful stay at Oia Mare Villas. The hotel has a charming atmosphere and offers absolutely stunning views of the sea and the famous Oia sunset. The location is peaceful and slightly away from the busiest part of the village, which made the whole experience feel more relaxing. The location is nice to visit the fishing village Ammoudi Bay.A couple of practical notes for future guests: be prepared for a lot of steps. This is typical for Oia, but it’s worth knowing in advance. I highly recommend asking for a porter to help with your luggage — it makes arrival and departure much easier.The pool area is beautiful, but the water wasn’t heated, so in May it was a bit too cold for anything more than a quick dip.Overall, a lovely place to stay if you’re looking for great views, a calm atmosphere, and that classic Santorini charm.

  Very Disappointed

  08 Mar 2026

  We are very disappointed in Oia Mare. Due to serious health issues we had to postpone our trip to Greece scheduled for August 2025. Yes, we read the no refund policy but there were extenuating circumstances for which the management would not issue a credit. We did not ask for a refund. We requested to use the money we had paid, for a trip this August. The response was NO. Again, as per the policy. There may come a time where your hotel may request a little understanding and leniency from a client, vendor or banker and you are told the "policy" stated is set in stone. NO EXCEPTIONS

  Extremely Disappointing Stay – Not Worth the Price

  12 Dec 2025

  We booked four nights (Oct 23–27, 2025) in a Cave Superior Studio with Outdoor Hot Tub and Sea View to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. Sadly, the experience was far from what we expected for a property charging over $600 per night.From arrival, guest care was lacking: no greeting at the drop-off point, no acknowledgment of our anniversary despite prior notice, and no gesture in the room. Upon check-in, we learned the internet was down across the island and had no cell service in the room. No timeline was given for restoration. We arrived at 8 PM to find food and beverage service closed, leaving us without dining options.The room had multiple issues:Persistent sewage odor in the bathroomNoisy fanNo towels for the hot tub (we had to retrieve them ourselves)Lukewarm water and non-functional jets despite repeated requests for assistanceBreakfast was underwhelming and did not match the premium price point. After one night, we decided to leave early. When we informed reception, there was no apology or effort to make amends — just a curt “OK, I’ll get the porter.”As someone with 35+ years in hospitality, I understand operational challenges, but basic service and attention to detail were completely missing. We left disappointed and disheartened.Would not recommend this property for a special occasion or luxury experience. Checking out was the best decision we made. We ended up staying at the Canaves Epitome nearby and it was absolutely fantastic! Product was amazing and the staff was on point! We highly recommend and if we return that's where we'll stay. Rest assured, they will respond to this email saying they did everything right and it was our issue. DON'T believe it. It's all BS.... They had no empathy or concern for providing the luxury service they claim to provide. Oia Mare Villas, Owner at Oia Mare Villas, responded to this review We regret that your stay did not meet your expectations. However, we must clarify the facts surrounding your experience.From the beginning of your stay, you repeatedly requested complimentary amenities and special benefits related to an anniversary, despite the fact that no such inclusions were advertised, promised, or guaranteed at the time of booking. As clearly stated on the booking platform, reservations are honored strictly based on the selected room category and rate plan, and complimentary amenities are not automatically provided for special occasions.Your reservation was honored in full, exactly as confirmed at the time of booking. All services and amenities included in your rate were provided accordingly. Unfortunately, dissatisfaction arose solely because additional complimentary offerings were not granted.Furthermore, while requesting a refund directly from the hotel, you simultaneously initiated a charge dispute with your bank. This approach is not acceptable, as it constitutes an attempt to recover the same amount through multiple channels. For this reason alone, any request for a refund cannot be considered.Despite our efforts to address your concerns and assist where possible, you chose to end your stay early. This was your personal decision. As clearly outlined in the agreed cancellation and refund policy, early departure does not entitle a guest to a refund.We maintain that your reservation was fulfilled in full compliance with the agreed terms and conditions. While we always strive to ensure guest satisfaction, we cannot accommodate requests that fall outside our policies or expectations that were never part of the booking agreement.We consider the matter closed and wish you well in your future travels.

  Unique hotel experience in Santorini

  31 Jul 2025

  We looked at a lot of different hotels when making plans to visit Santorini and decided to stay at Oia Mare Villas after a friend’s recommendation. This stay on the caldera was such a unique experience for us. We arranged for transport from the port with the hotel. They dropped us off a short walk from the hotel as the taxi obviously can’t take you all the way there. We were met by someone from the hotel who put our bags on a cart and guided us to the lobby and then took the bags to our room, which an amazing feat. The staff at the hotel desk were friendly and explained everything we needed to know and made some dining recommendations. We got to our room and it was very clean and the air conditioning worked great which we appreciated over our stay. We had a small outside area with a couple chairs and a table with umbrella with a great view of the caldera. The hotel was in a great location to the main shopping area and other restaurants including a winding walk to Ammoudi Bay. It took us a few tries to learn our way along the winding path with many many steps to get up to the main street. If you have mobility issues, it might be tough to maneuver. We are around 60 and it was a little challenging at times but we managed. They have a small pool area with a place to sit or lay out if you like. Breakfast was included with the room rate and was ok. Definitely a unique experience.
