We initially stayed in the private villa for 2 nights which was amazing and exceeded our expectations (barring the hillside cats who visit for food. They were quite cute in the end and didn’t at all spoil our stay but we just didn’t expect this addition to the property).
We wanted an extra night but it was booked so we ended up in the family room. It was smaller than hoped with no living room area. Okay for a pit stop but not ideal for days relaxing and not enough room for 4 people other than to sleep. Quite surprised that breakfast was also reduced according to the room grade but it was still tasty.
But the hotel has a lovely family feel, the people are so friendly and humble and we absolutely hope to visit the villa again.
The receptionist who greeted us, gave us a map and explained Santorini is first class. The driver was also really helpful. But special thanks to the housekeeper who gave us plenty of water for the room, Nicos who was a joy to speak to and professional, Eva, who is just so professional and an absolute joy and the waiter with the nose ring whose name I didn’t catch really made our stay. He was so kind and gracious.
The Grand View is definitely worth the visit and is reasonably well situated. Just choose the right room for your family size.
