- The hotel facilities were lovely and clean, including the swimming pool which was great during the hot afternoons. Our room was spacious and had a beautiful balcony where we could sit and enjoy the breeze. Rooms were cleaned daily and fresh towels put in. However, the best thing about our stay was without question, the staff! Especially Sofia and her brother who were extra helpful and gave us excellent recommendations on places to see and restaurants to try. I highly recommend staying in Santa Elena - great location close to Kamari beach and has parking available which allowed us to explore lots of different places across Santorini.
- If you want to have a real vacation in Santorini, this is the perfect place to stay. Situated in a quiet neighbourhood , very clean and comfortable room, and sofia is very friendly and welcoming.
- Very helpful to order taxi when needed and good advises on what to do or not do on a daily basis. Great breakfast in a lovely garden. Special thanks to Mme Sophia. But plane was very late, car rented through booking.com was cancelled automatically after 12.00 and booking.com refused to reimburse! Never use their service for car rental.
Cons -
- We were happy with everything.
- Nothing at all
- Nothing from the hotel. Only booking.com, easy to communicate with the hotel we booked. Impossible with car rental agent who did not received the flight number from booking.com nor any money from them. Plan delay is a good opportunity for booking.com to take your money not providing the service you paid for!

Mine and my girlfriends flight got cancelled back to the UK so I booked this hotel last minute as Kamari is close to the airport. We arrived around 11pm and was greeted by a very nice and friendly lady called Sophia, we explained our situation and she couldn't have been more hospitable and helpful to us, she even upgraded our room to a balcony one, let us stay past the usual check out time since our flight wasn't until 5pm ( at no extra cost) which I thought was incredibly kind of her. Apart from all this the facilities were really nice, clean and comfortable, very good value for your money :)
Amasing small hotel in a quiet place with a walking distance to Kamari centre. Great and friendly hosts who were always very supportive and giving good advice. Nice and big swimming pool area with many sunbeds, good breakfast with local variety of food. Very nice garden with sitting area. Thank you Sofia and Yan for your hospitality
The place is beautiful and clean. Sophie, the manager of the hotel is very nice and helpful! Our trip was not as good as it was without her great recommendations and responsiveness. The pool was very nice.
The hotel's location is a bit far from the main area of Kamari, about 15 minutes walk. It's not awful but sometimes it's not that convenient if you'd like to buy water/coffe/any kind of small groceries. The breakfast is fine but limited.
The host were very friendly and welcoming. We had fresh breakfast each morning and rooms were cleaned regularly. The location was perfect, 5 mins away from the beach and bus stop
There is nothing to dislike about the property! Sophia and Yanis just made our holiday nothing was too much trouble! We were both so impressed on how they ran the hotel. Our room was on the ground floor - please dont be out off by semi basement, it was bright and cool and absolutely spotless.
We loved everything - even the 10 minute stroll home from the numerous restaurants and bars in Kamari
Clean rooms with balcony, clean pool with plenty of sunbeds around, nice breakfast... The hotel is located in the quiet area, but is very close to the beach, shops, restaurants and the bus station, from where you can easily reach to Oia or Fira.And finally the host and the staff - Sophia and girls! They are the best and do their best to make your stay comfortable. Helpful, caring... Sophia did everything and more than everything to help us fix our problems.
When Sophia is your host it's very hard not to like something about the property.
Good value for the money if you dont mind the 5-15 min walk to the Kamari beach. The host Sofia is very helpful and cooperative, she does her best
The rooms are not very well insulated - you can easily hear your room neighbors
Santa Elena is placed in calm and quiet part of Kamari. Hole place, also pool, is perfectly clean. Sophia is extremely nice and protective host - she will help you orginizing transport on the island, plan trips or whatever you need. Theyre also prepearing delicious breakfasts, which you can eat in beautiful garden.
Beautiful hotel, very clean with excellent beds. Lovely balcony with view to the pool, breakfast was very good with handmade omelettes, pies and sweets. Sofia is a very caring host that made sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely book again when we visit Santorini!
Nothing, everything was great.
Swimming pool, breakfast, location, free parking, host's hospitality, hotel staff, comfortable beds
Close to the center of Kamari and bus stations. Quiet and peaceful place. The room was big and the view from the balcony great. The hosts were very kind and helpful. It was a beautiful experience for me.
Loved the hosts, they were so kind and helpful. Gorgeous pool and great breakfast each morning.
Nothing not to like!
The pool was lovely, nice size and clean water not over chlorinated
Exceptionally clean. Warm friendly staff
The location, close to the beach in Kamari, but very quiet in the afternoon. The staff are exceptional. Sofia is an incredible manager, you can ask her anything and she has the answer
Everything was amazing,location, house, view and the host was amazing and very welcoming and friendly.I hardly recommend the place
Staff were fantastic, very accomodating to our needs! Great location in Kamari, close to the beach. Would recommend this hotel.
Breakfast was great. Location very picturesque. Very well maintained swimming pool and gardens. Cleanliness was immaculate
