Porto Castello

We have had a very nice stay in Castello-Santorini. The room was nice, good airconditioning and a nice balcony with sea view. The swimming pool was also nice. They are super friendly!! There is a shuttle service from the hotel that brings you to the city which was very convenient! Good place to stay if you are planning to visit Santorini.

Good price for money,evrery 2 hours free lift to Fira(I would suggest another 2 needed 11,30 and 5,30)

It was a very nice place to stay , and close to the beach !
My room was a comfortable one , and I'd liked that .
The transfer from the airport to the hotel was a very good thing !

Lovely little cosy double room on the first floor
Backyard with dining area
Fridge freezer
Air conditioning with easy-to-use remote
Television with international channels
Small bench and chairs in the room
Very comfortable clean double bed with chest of drawers on either side
Plugs provided on the right side and lamps available on each pillow side
Mirror available in the room
Two sets of towels provided for the room but there are free beach towels provided that must be returned after each beach visit
Large double wardrobe provided, which is useful if you are staying long
Small bathroom with shower, toilet, sink and mirror
There is access to the swimming pool in the back of the hotel from either outside the hotel or outside the room
There is a little cafe beside the swimming pool
There is also a restaurant next to the main hotel reception, which serves a variety of breakfast prices ranging from €5, €7 and €9.
I arrived at the hotel at ~2am but there is no one there after midnight. The hotel was still open with reception leaving the room key at the reception desk with name, room number and key labelled with my name. It was very easy to find and very accommodating.
Although my room was on the first floor, I could not find a lift and had to use the stairs.
There is a €15 shuttle from the airport to the hotel but I walked from the airport to the hotel using Google Maps. It took about 1 hour to walk with my small case using main roads only. It was like walking around Malta. There are taxis available from the airport to the hotel also.
The beach is just around the corner from the hotel. It is both a rocky beach and black sand. At the beach, there is a restaurant and a gypsy van selling souvenirs. I also saw people horse-riding, fishing and renting speed boats so there is a variety of nearby activities.
There is a free shuttle from the hotel to Fira and back almost every 2 hours.
I couldn't find any nearby supermarkets.
You can rent a quad bike or motorcycles from the hotel reception or arrange to rent them out in advance.
Overall so far, so good and lovely start to my visit in Santorini.
