Istoria, a Member of Design Hotels

We made friends! The hotel Manager was viable and interacting and really wanted to know your thoughts and views on the hotel, the bartender Stelios was awesome, with local tips and makes a mean Drink. Location was clutch. You cannot go wrong with this Hotel. We are in our 50's. and tour the Mediterranean often.

We visited Santorini for our honeymoon and we could not have asked for a better stay at Istoria. Everyone there was so kind, and the beach is right across the street. The breakfast included with the stay was amazing. Highly recommend this hotel.

The hotel staff were welcoming, and very helpful. The room was cool and spacious, comfortable and clean. The pool was gorgeous and the pool area well staffed and maintained. Access to the beach was fantastic too. The restaurant offered a nice varied menu, we would have breakfast and lunch there, though we did have dinner on the first night but we were the only guests which was a shame. I hired a car through the hotel and needed to amend a boat booking which the reception staff were great at handling. They also helped recommend and book restaurants on different parts of the island, all of which were very good. We used the spa which was also very nice and calming experience. We had a fantastic break.

My girlfriend and I had perfect stay at Istoria. Staff were very helpful and helped us with any questions during our stay. Would definitely recommend.

Superb private rooms with an own hot tub—very nice pool too. The beach across the street was delightful, and food (tuna and caviar) and specialty drinks served there too. Many delicious restaurants close by—highly recommend.

This was our first visit to a Greek island and our seven night stay at Istoria was truly unforgettable. Istoria is a boutique and very personable hotel with only 12 suites, giving it a peaceful and exclusive feel. The pool area was beautifully designed and incredibly relaxing - perfect for chilled out days. The staff were great - always helpful and full of excellent recommendations for dining out, ranging from high end restaurants to charming local tavernas. They also gave us great tips for excursions and must-see spots around the island. A special shoutout to Stellios at the bar - he created a fantastic atmosphere and genuinely went out of his way to make sure every guest felt welcome and well taken care of. Overall, an exceptional stay. We wouldn’t hesitate to go back!

Istoria hotel is a very stylish yet relaxed, it has a peaceful chill vibe from the moment you walk in. The suites are gorgeous, the pool is so serene and the black beach is breathtaking. The food was also great, especially the breakfast. However, the best part of the hotel is the warm and friendly staff! They went out of their way to make sure that our stay was perfect. I have never felt more at home at a resort than I have at Istoria. A special shout out to Stelios. He is an amazing bartender whose cocktails were great and his company even better. We left feeling like we had made real connections and memories to last a lifetime. Can’t wait to return!

Our stay at Istoria has been absolutely amazing for our honeymoon. The staff are so attentive, personable, and friendly. Their service goes above and beyond! They only have 12 rooms so you definitely feel taken care of while you are here. On the first day that we arrived, we went to the Black Beach directly in front of the hotel. Our server, Bismark, was very kind and attentive! It was a great welcome to the hotel experience to start! The rooms are very clean and tended to in the morning and middle of the day. They replenish everything and clean your room so quickly while you are away (2x a day!). The massage at the spa was an incredible experience - the best massage I have gotten! The staff are just incredible and would recommend this hotel to anyone and everyone. It truly is and feels like a 5 star hotel.

Our second visit and still a winner. Lovely setting, with stunning views of the mountain and only few steps from the beach. Immaculate and spacious rooms with top quality linen. Beautiful dining room with one of the best and varied breakfast menus I have experienced. The service is undoubtedly the winning feature, charming, warm, thoughtful and utterly professional. A tribute to the management of Vagelis. A special thanks to Vagelis, Florensia, Michaelis, Altin, Alexandros, Leonados and Costas. Memorable and impeccable service. With thanks S & K

Great atmosphere. Nice ambiance. Nice interior. Great staff and wonderful food. Close to a nice beach. Good beach club with really nice staff. The area around the hotel is not very interesting. So if you are staying many days you might need a car.
