Aressana Spa Hotel and Suites

My wife and 11 year old son and I stayed here in early September 2026. I honestly can’t fault anything. The hotel felt like it was a lot more expensive than it actually was. The location though was the best bit. Prior coming to Santorini we had no idea if the hotel was in a good spot or not, but now knowing what I know if you were to ask me to point at a map for the best spot for your hotel to be, this would be the spot. If you visualize exploring Santorini as a little maze, then this hotel would be at the entry point. The pool was great for around lunch time, when you’re traveling you have it in your head that you can just wander around all day long but it doesn’t really work like that when you’re over 40. You need to come back and have a rest after lunch and then hit it again later in the afternoon or you just won’t have the energy to last all day so hanging by the pool was perfect. Breakfast was included for us though I can’t speak for everyone’s booking but it was great with heaps and heaps of food to choose from. Our room was just a simple room with a bed and a fold out for my son and it did us just fine, we aren’t precious and the room was very new looking and clean. And as for the atmosphere, well it’s in Santorini and you know it. It’s beautiful.

Lovely helpful staff on all areas of the hotel, especially Angelika who was very friendly and seemingly always on shift! Decent breakfast and the pool area was very good. However room was small, bathroom tiny and the “upgrade” of a room with a balcony was a balcony over the front of the hotel having a noisy restaurant that played the same soundtrack every night.
