Not a bad hotel. We got the room that came with 4 twin beds. The room was really small but clean. Unfortunately the bathroom was not great. The shower was very small and the liner kept sticking to you. The shower head didn’t stay in one place, so water kept getting on the floors. The bathroom was my least favorite part of the room. The staff were good for the most part and they sell drinks and snacks in the lobby. If you’re looking for a cheaper stay, this would be a good place to book. They offer free shuttle services that drop you near Fira (7-10 walk) and paid shuttle services to the airport and ferry for a good price. The room was small but intimate and clean.

We truly enjoyed our stay at this charming, peaceful hotel tucked away in a quiet part of the island. From the very beginning, Cindy — who manages the place so effortlessly — went above and beyond for us. Before we even arrived, she arranged a late-night airport transfer after our flight was delayed, ensuring that our family (including the kids) felt safe and well cared for upon landing in a place we’d never visited before. Her communication was fast, clear, and friendly, and she impressed us with her ability to speak fluently in English, French, Greek..etc. Cindy’s husband was equally warm and always seemed to have a solution for anything we needed. The rest of the team was just as delightful — from the lovely lady who served us by the pool to Sawas, the chef, who was incredibly attentive and friendly. The food was outstanding and definitely worth recommending. The location was ideal for relaxation, with a serene beach, the picturesque Exo Gialos Harbour, and a beautiful traditional chapel right next to the hotel. Being on the east side of the island also meant we could enjoy the spectacular Santorini sunrise every morning. For those who like a livelier scene, the hotel runs a free shuttle service to Fira several times a day until around midnight — a brilliant touch. A huge thank you to Cindy and the entire team for making our stay so special. We’d gladly return and highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a quiet, friendly, and well-run base in Santorini.

The family who runs the hotel is welcoming and available 24 hours. The hotel provides a free shuttle to the bus transportation depot that takes you to the famous town of Oia to watch the sunset. The only concern is that you have to follow the hotel shuttle schedule that runs every three hours, requiring that you plan accordingly since it is a distance from Fira which is not walking distance.

Good but not very accessible

This hotel is good for people who are looking for a place to relax onsite and not do much sightseeing. The room was great but the hotel needs some upgrades. The reception area is gloomy. This hotel is not accessible by public transit but there is a free shuttle service that takes you from the hotel to Fira 4 or 5 times a day. Close to a beach.

Family run hotel where you can feel Greek culture a bit closer. Located in a secluded and quiet area around 10 min from Fira city centre, they offer a free of charge transportation every 3 hours which is convenient. The rooms are modest but well equipped with A/C and mini fridge. Sheets and towels are changed every two days and the overall cleaning is spotless! Not sure if it is a thing in Greece but found weird have to hold the shower over my head. The breakfast runs from 8-12 and you will have few different and basic set menu to choose for. I picked the ‘Healthy’ and everything tasted very fresh everyday. The lady who helped me had a contagious and genuine smile even when they were busy! efcharistó! The pool restaurant opens at 4pm in case you don’t want to got back to town they have a tasty and adaptable menu. However if you are planning to spend the day at the hotel you could buy drinks and few snacks at the reception but there are no shops around so be prepared if you like snacking. As my flight was late, after checking out I could spend the day at the pool, have a shower and dinner before heading to the airport and it was really handy. I paid €25 for airport transfer and it takes only 10 minutes from the hotel. Overall I enjoyed very much my staying at Porto Castello and would recommend it for sure!

Porto Castello is a very pretty hotel in a tiny town on Santorini, about 4-6 km from Fira, the main town on Santorini. No elevator. Clean, well kept rooms with balconies. 5 different breakfast types available, paid daily per person. Saltwater pool. Free shuttle with drop off just outside Fira runs about every 3 hours from 8:30 am to 11:30 pm. Can arrange airport or port transportation. Staff were wonderful! When we arrived, they couldn't initially find our reservation booked through Expedia, but then discovered that our reservation started the following day. I had the printout from our reservation, and it was our error, not the hotel's. They quickly found us a room for the extra day and even got us into the room early as we had arrived early in the day from the port. I cannot thank them enough for their assistance in this situation. Town is very small with very narrow streets, so parking would be difficult. Walk to small beach. Only one or two restaurants in town, so you need to either plan to eat in Fira, the main town, or order delivery from a restaurant in town that they have a menu for. Roads on Santorini are very narrow, with lots of curves and steep drops, so you couldn't easily walk from hotel to anywhere else.
