“Honeymoon to Remember”

Anastasis Apartments

3/3 found this review helpful

My husband and I stayed spent 5 days here for our honeymoon in May 2008. When we arrived we were exhausted from traveling, but this was more worth the wait. Despina greeted us with coffee and delicious snacks while we waited for our room to be readied, since we arrived at 6am. She gave us a tour of the property and then sat with us to go over a map of the island which she had carefully detailed her recommendations and suggestions. She literally mapped out the best restaurants and gave pricing and menu information, provided a bus schedule, and gave popular tour info, along with her opinions on them. She taught us a few Greek words, which we used to our advantage. We were awarded with free ouzo and wine thoughout our stay for just a simple "efharisto" (thank you). There aren't words to describe how kind and hospitable Despina and the entire staff were.

Now, the hotel. First, it is literally the most beautiful setting for a hotel you could imagine. The sunsets got better every night we stayed there. The view of the caldera never ceased to amaze us. The hotel is conveniently located right on the path that runs from Fira to Oia, but because it's not in one of the cities, it was very private...perfect for a honeymoon. We stayed in the Anastasis Suite, and it was not just beautiful, but immaculate, as was the rest of the hotel. Fresh flowers in the room, and a daily thorough cleaning. Not to mention, it smelled amazing. Then you step out on the balcony, and are awarded with a fantastic breeze and stunning views. It doesn't get any better. We were given a complimentary bottle of wine our first day, and Santorini has fantastic wine. Also, they have a modest menu of food available in room, and what they do, they do well. The breakfast was amazing, and the greek salad and brioche were the perfect food to have with wine on the balcony while enjoying the sunset.

The island. Fira is a beautiful 45 minute hike from the hotel. Cute shops and fantastic restaurants around every corner. Oia is a much longer (and more difficult) 2.5 hour hike, although it's definitely worth it if you can handle it. There are serious hills on the way, and at times the path gives way a little beneath your feet. Defintely wear sunscreen if you hike to Oia. The breeze makes the amount of sun you're getting deceptive, so lather up those shoulders. Oia is the most picturesque place we've ever been, although we honestly preferred the mood and the food in Fira. Oia is more expensive also, although the view you're paying for is worth making the trip. We rented a car the last two days we were there so that we could visit the beaches and wineries. Driving in Santorini is definitely not for the faint of heart, but worth it. There are no street signs on the island, and the maps aren't totally accurate. If you're used to driving in the US, it will take getting used to. All in all, this was the trip of a lifetime for us...and we're already trying to figure out when and how we can go back.

I still get very emotional when I look at all the reviews here. This place was wonderful. The facility is very clean and beautiful. We liked Despina, Katerina and all the staff's warm hospitality and kindness. Despina and Katerina seemed concerned about the very high prices of everything on Santorini Island and they helped us on choosing restaurants and excursions. In other words, although the facility, serivice is 5 star and luxurious, they are not pretentious or charge high price for it.

We stayed in the Anastasis Suite which probably is one of the best suite in the apartment. It was truly amazing. We had high expectations, but they certainly saved more to impress us.

We did see lots of ants in the apartment! We tried to keep the floor in our suite clean, and it got much better after a day or so. Also, probably because of the plumbing system of the island, the bathroom did smell a bit. All in all, it was still a beautiful apartment I wanted to live forever. Needless to say, the breakfast at the balcony was so romantic and I highly recommend it.

We wish them the very best , and we will go back!

We used TripAdvisor to find this gem and the reviews did not disappoint. We spent 4 nights here as part of our honeymoon and they were the best 4 nights we've spent any where. The hotel is beautiful, both property-wise and view-wise. The owner, Despina, is amazing and I've never felt so personally welcomed and cared for at a hotel before. We were in the White Room, which I highly recommend, although all of the rooms facing the caldera are winners. Imerovigli itself is a little quieter than Fira and Oia, so it's perfect for a honeymoon. However, if you want to be in the thick of things and very close to restaurants, Anastasi's might not be for you. You can have food delivered, but the closest tavern is Taso's, which is wonderful, but it's the closest place to eat. Overall, a PERFECT honeymoon location!! WE WILL BE BACK!!

3/6 found this review helpful

After using Tripadvisor for years I finally opened an account just so I could tell other people how wonderful this hotel is- it's that good.

My husband and I were a bit skeptical when we saw all the rave reviews online- he assumed the owner just opened a bunch of gmail accounts and kept writing them. Once we got there, the hotel far exceeded our expectations. It is absolutely beautiful. From the view, to the layout of the facilities, to the apartments themselves, we were blown away. You can not beat watching the fabulous sunsets from your balcony. The staff was incredibly attentive and seemed to do our thinking for us. There are no kids allowed so it is wonderfully peaceful and relaxing- perfect for a romantic getaway.

Sitting on our balcony we noticed people walking by looking enviously at our hotel and Santorini is certainly not lacking in beautiful hotels. I have not one complaint and I'm a pretty discerning person. I highly recommend a car or ATV rental- it is a bit off the beaten path, as great destinations tend to be. Definitely stay here if you can and book early. We booked for June 08 in October 07 and still had to rearrange our schedule because most dates were already taken. Our only regret is staying just 4 days, next time around we'll do at least a week.

“5 stars is not enough... Amazing”

4/6 found this review helpful

My husband and I stayed at this spectacular hotel for only 2 nights in June 2008 at the end of a whirlwind trip to Istanbul, Athens, and beautiful Santorini. We were looking for a place to relax after weeks of sightseeing and to enjoy the famous Santorini sunsets. We booked this hotel based on the reviews here at TripAdvisor. Not only were we not disappointed, my expectations were even surpassed. This hotel is amazing!

I booked the hotel via emails with Despina, the gracious, friendly, and helpful owner of the hotel. I was worried about availability, since we didn't book until a couple of months before our trip. Despina was able to accommodate us in a simple room the first night, moving us to a junior suite for our second night. This sounded fine, so we sent our deposit and booked the rooms.

Getting there:
We arrived by ferry, grabbed a taxi at the port, and he knew exactly where the Anastasis Apartments were. Despina was there to greet us at the gate to the hotel before we could even get ourselves out of the taxi.

Check-in:
... was a breeze. Then, she walked us out to the pool area with a breathtaking view of the caldera. Speechless... it is even more beautiful than the pictures. We then sat with another hotel employee in the lounge area (and I'm sorry I can't remember her name, because she, too, was very friendly and helpful.) She showed us locations on a map for restaurants, beaches, and parking all over the island. She also provided a list of these places. Very helpful! Then, she took us to our room where our bags were waiting.

The 1st room (Basic):
The room was a quaint and nice on the front site of the building (no caldera view). It had a queen size bed, and even a small kitchen area with dishes, small refrigerator, small stove, anything you would need. We each had a robe and slippers, too. Although we didn't have a view from this room; we were very happy with it.

The 2nd room (Junior Suite):
This room was large and very nice. It had a larger bed, couch, kitchen area, a bigger and nicer bathroom. Most noteworthy was the balcony with amazing view of the caldera!

Breakfast:
11 euro per day for the two of us. The first day we wanted to enjoy the view, so Despina had our breakfast delivered to the hot tub deck area. It was a nice breakfast with yogurt, breads, boiled egg, fresh fruit, coffee, and juice. It was very nice. Our next morning we had to leave before 5am to catch our plane. We asked if we could have some breakfast foods delivered the night before. When we got to our room from dinner, the refrigerator was stocked with our breakfast for the morning.

Pool and Hot Tub:
The infinity pool and deck area is inviting and relaxing. The views are so beautiful. If we had gotten to stay longer, I could have spent most of the days just sitting on the deck and swimming, enjoying the view. The hot tub is scheduled for 1 hour at check-in. It is very nice as well.

Car rental:
We wanted to rent a car for the day to visit the Red Beach. The hotel had the car delivered to the hotel and we left it at the airport. It was a breeze.

There is a restaurant close to the hotel that will pick you up and return you after your meal... Toy Nikoy. The food was delicious and the owner very friendly! Highly recommended!

Overall, the hotel gets 5+ stars. I cannot wait until we can get back here again and stay longer! This place is a true gem in an beautiful location with amazing service!
