DO NOT STAY!!

Never once in the description of the hotel, does it give any warning that people with any disability or mobility issues should not and will not be able to stay at this property. It was utterly ridiculous. (I would like to point out, however, that Vickie was extremely helpful.)

The rooms are beautiful with a gorgeous view. The walk and climbing the stairs up to the resort was a little tricky as I just had knee surgery but definitely worth it for the view and accommodation. The beds are extremely firm if you are used to a softer bed.

The place was nice and was in a very cool location on the water however it was not clear where to go when dropped by the taxi and there were at least 50 stairs (no elevator) that had to be maneuvered with luggage. The stairs are not all the same sizes and woupd be terrible for elderly Transfers from the airport or port are expenses. This location is at the bottom of Oia. And it’s f yiu need to go tot he top yiu have to take the cobblestone stairs that are in ver 200 stairs going one way. I’m r walk on the street for about 20-30 min We did like the catamaran tour of the black red and white sand beach although it did say you got to sit in the hot springs there was no time for that The host was very helpful

Please check carefully before renting this property, as there are some things they didn't tell us about. They say they have parking outside, but they don't mention that it's about four blocks up the mountain, where you can only park at the bottom to unload your bags, walk one block, and climb three flights of stairs. Additionally, they have no one to help you. They have a free shuttle service to the parking lot, but it doesn't run in the morning or at night. Also, please take good care of your belongings on the property. It was a very bad experience; I don't recommend it.

We had a wonderful one night stay at Lava Stone. We chose Ammoudi Bay over the main town Oia for the quiet setting and beautiful view, away from the overrun main town. All catamarans etc come into this bay for the sunset and we were able to watch it from the privacy of our own terrace. The hike up the big cobblestone steps to the main town is a bit exhausting - you can ride a mule up the hill instead if you wish… Do take advantage of them organizing a pick up for you from the port / airport. Not cheap, but very pleasant ride. Be aware that the car cannot reach the property and you have to carry your luggage up several flights of stairs. We only had a backpack, so that was no issue for us.

Beautiful location but have to be able to do stairs to get around. Seafood dining close, other restaurants up the stairs in Oia. Very convenient for a catamaran tour. Will stay here again, just to look over the water when you get up and go to bed

Beautiful water views. We loved sitting outside on the patio and we even saw a cruise ship leaving one evening. The rooms were beautiful and cleaned every day with great AC in each room. The downside of this location is that you’ll need to pay for transportation up to Oia every time you want to go somewhere. Spent hundreds of Euros in just three days and never went further south than the ferry port. We did the stairs twice, but you’re not going to want to do that climb every time you want to go somewhere. Walking down is easier and you can also walk along in the street which we did. But there is no car parking down in Ammoudi Bay. There are four restaurants. We ate at one for lunch and it was over 130€ for 3 drinks, bread, hummus and two salads. Other than those four restaurants there is a small shop that has a limited amount of ice cream, coffee, and a few deli sandwiches. Also there are 20-30 steps up to the rooms. They will help you with your luggage. It’s a nice place to stay. It’s just not convenient to exploring Santorini.

Even though we had to lug our luggage up the steps to the hotel, we loved it! No complaints here. Vicky in reception reached out to me a week before to arrange transportation from the airport to the hotel as well as our transfer to the ferry. She also arrange to have our luggage brought down to the shuttle on our departure. The restaurants below the hotel were wonderful. Wish we had more time to spend at Lava Stone to enjoy the sunrise. Walking the 250 steps up to take pictures by the blue domes were well worth it. Loved everything about Greece. Recommendation, do your shopping in Athens because it’s so much cheaper than the islands.

This apartment situated over Amoudi bay on Santorini, was a perfect location to people watch and see the many kinds of boats come and go including the impressive cruise ships when all lit up at night. The 270+ steps up to Oia is a good workout but you can always ride a donkey or take a taxi. Very close to restaurants, smoothies, ice cream and coffee shops. As well a short walk along the cliffs to a swimming spot. This apartment was incredibly clean and was equipped with hair dryer, slippers, soaps and extra blankets for cooler evenings. The deck had a swing making a nice spot to watch the sea. Vickie was so helpful with check in letting us know about the area and things to do. She booked us drivers when needed and had our bags handled for us on checkout. Thank you Vickie for being so kind and helpful! A charming spot! We loved being there.
