Provider-sourced guest reviews.
The location is incredible. The views, especially at sunset, were spectacular. Everyone does gather directly outside the room for sunset, but it is quiet again after they all go.
Great location with a beautiful view. We really appreciated the help with carrying our luggage to and from the parking area, which made both arrival and departure much easier. A very pleasant stay and a great place to stay in Oia.
Conforto! Acessibilidade rápida à vista do por do sol. A piscina tbm é um show à parte!!!
Cozinha muito pequena. Um pouco disfuncional.
Ubicación
Position and very helpful staff
Nothing to say
Amazing location! Right by the castle and an ideal spot for watching the famous sunset from our little private verandah. The room was cosy but well equipped and with great views out to the water.
We had to ask several times for the room to be serviced and it was done at odd times of the day and not at all on a few days. The shower was not fully enclosed and tended to flood the bathroom floor.
Incredible location, prime place to watch the sunset from our balcony and very reasonable priced for the quality. The staff and host were so friendly and accommodating
Posizione spettacolare, camera molto bella e accogliente
Views and location are excellent and exceptionnel
Cool place
No hot spa :(
Perfect property!

Perfect location for catching the sunset and the sunrise in Oia, Santorini!
Great location if you want to see the Oia blue domes. 2 min walk to the picture spots so very easy to beat the crowds early in the morning. Toilet needs a bidet since flushing down toilet paper is not allowed on the island. Note that even if you book the room with the caldera view with the plunge pool, it is not entirely private since the people that are staying in the upstairs suite has access to the same exterior door right beside your plunge pool, and their window looks down into your plunge pool area. Not a big deal but just a good note for people wanting privacy.
No bidet available with the toilet, and flushing down toilet paper is not allowed
Location was superb...staff are all nice.We really enjoyed staying at this place,oia castle was infront of the balcony to see the beautiful sunset.

místo s výhledem přímo na kalderu
ubytování bylo krásné, jen za ty peníze bych si asi představovala že by mohlo být čistě vymalováno, jinak vše super
La ubicación , la vista del atardecer Impresionante. Todo muy bien
Everything Perfect! It has been like living in a dream, like a royal Prince! Beautiful view, beautiful place. Cleopatra, Siri and Dipak was amazing! The gave us all that We needed! Thanks

View from balcony Location Comfortable bed Friendly cleaners Fridge
Misleading listing (no hot tub) Failure to respond to texts about important concerns
The location was the best in the whole of that part of the island. Other people wanted to take pictures and were amazed at how we had the place. The staff looked after my son and his new wife who were celebrating their honey moon. They felt like a king and queen!
Great location, beautiful and very well kept. Comfortable beds and clean

This intimate cave is perched right on the cliff with a spectacular view of the caldera. The jacuzzi was so relaxing after a day of walking and touring. It's also protected from the wind. The rooftop apartment has an enviable view of the sunset with a private balcony. We loved the service and location.
The porter didn't arrive to take our bags on arrival so we had to carry our suitcases up and down cobbled lane ways to reach the room. It wasn't a great distance but we were already exhausted from travelling. The room doesn't have any coffee facilities, only 1 wine glass, 1 champagne glass, limited kitchen utensils and a flimsy bottle opener. Jacuzzi was dirty on arrival and cockroach in bathroom.
We fell in love with this gorgeous hotel in Oia, Santorini – perched atop the caldera with breathtaking sunset views. Though cars can’t reach the doorstep, the staff promptly collect your luggage from the drop‑off point. The room exudes authentic cave‑house charm and matches the photos perfectly—spotlessly clean and beautifully appointed. The team was incredibly helpful, swiftly accommodating all our requests. The iconic blue‑domed churches, shops, and eateries just a short walk. There is a small castle nearby where you can get a 360 degree view
The location is fantastic—just a stone’s throw from the iconic castle of Oia. In the mornings, you can even hear traditional Greek music, which adds a lovely, authentic touch to the experience. The staff are incredibly friendly and always ready to help. The only downside is the number of tourists passing by, which means you might overhear conversations while relaxing in the hot tub and taking in the breathtaking sea views. However, the overall experience at Sophia Castle View more than makes up for it.
The location was amazing to watch sunset. I went before busy season. Walk was t too bad. You cannot reach the room by car- so you need porter or need to carry bags a little always. Very clean- shower doesn’t have a door- so bathroom floor was a little wet . I struggled mostly with communication- because there isn’t a front desk so hard to ask for replacement items. But overall very happy with it!
Our Sophia Castle stay was wonderful, easy to reserve. Chrysovalandis was an amazing host, he picked us up, took us to the place, provided plenty of information as to what to do and where to go. He was very attentive. Everyone that worked at Sophia was very helpful.
Location was perfect
The Hotel is Perfect located with a beautiful view also clean and comfortable 🙏
Amazing small hotel with the best views and little private balcony to watch the amazing sunset. Many tourists rush to get to this part of town to see the sunset and cram through the little walkways. I just had to go out on my balcony…with a free bottle of wine from the hotel and catch the amazing sunset from my balcony
I had an unforgettable stay at this hotel, largely thanks to the outstanding service from the manager, Valandis. From the moment we arrived, Valandis went above and beyond to make sure we felt welcomed and comfortable. His attention to detail and genuine warmth made a big difference in our experience. The view from our room was absolutely stunning—a perfect backdrop to our relaxing getaway. Valandis and his team truly made this stay memorable. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for fantastic service, with Valandis leading an incredible team, and views that are simply unbeatable!

Amazing view, cozy atmosphere and very clean!!
Sofia Castle View is an absolute gem, located just steps away from the famous castle in Oia. What I loved the most about this place is the abundance of windows—every wall except one has a window, making the room incredibly bright and airy. You can watch both the sunrise and sunset from the comfort of your room, and two sides of the room offer stunning views of the sea. It’s also perfectly positioned right above Oia’s iconic sunset spot. While others gather below to catch the sunset, you can enjoy the same breathtaking view from your room, soaking in the atmosphere while still having your own private space. The room itself is beautifully designed in soft white and green tones, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. It’s the perfect spot for taking photos, and the memories made here will be unforgettable. I absolutely loved my stay here!
We loved our stay here. The room itself was even nicer than the photos, which is always a pleasant surprise. There was even a little kitchen, which we didn't end up using, but that would have been nice for preparing a light snack or breakfast. We appreciated the bottle of wine and water in the fridge. Favorite part was the view from the window right into the plunge pool that overlooks the caldera. The plunge pool itself was great with more privacy than most of the other pools we saw around Oia since it was tucked away a bit. Our host was provided a lot of suggestions, but the best part was arranging a 30 minute window for us to take photos from a private look-out area at one of their sister properties. This is where you get the famous view of the 3 blue domes. It was almost worth for this alone since we didn't have to wait in the long long line to get a shot like everyone else.
Everything was great. Just to note though that the picture of the blue domes are taken at a different location and not from the room. The room itself is located right by the actual old Castle, which is a popular spot that people gather to see the sunset.
Great stay in an amazing location, with an amazing view!
VALANDIS was an excellent host, very nice, polite, professional, informative person!!!!! He was quick to respond to our questions and was promptly willing and available when we called for him on whatsapp. The location of the place is beautiful for the sunset and amazing view of Oia. This place is great for walking distance to all the famous spots to visit in Oia. The walking is very easy and doable compared to other difficult locations in Oia due to the walking distance. If you are looking for a great location in Oia, this is the place to be. Some reviews say it's not quiet, but it actually is very quiet and safe. Anywhere in Oia or Santorini is busy during the sunset because that's what people come here for. So if you want to come for the good Oia experience, come to THIS LOCATION. Valandis will treat you like family.
Location perfect for sunset and pretty views. It gets busy and crowded since the property is located near photogenic attractions.
fantastic location and view to the Caldera and sunset. room is clean, bright, and bed is comfortable cooking facility is adequate. a bottle of local wine in the fridge as a gift from the host.

Location very good place clean
The staff wasn’t prepared for our plans , he says everything will be ready in time and we don’t have to worry about anything, but then when it’s time for our plans it’s always late and he forgets about it. And when he booked for us the yacht he made us pay double the real price it was too expensive for everything.
Excelent Service, beatiful place
Everything was great, I loved the location and the view from the room, at the night you don’t need to go out you can seat in your balcony and enjoy from the view and peaceful area, I will back again 😍😍

Location is very close to both the blue domes and the best location for watching sunset Property staff was professional, patient and helpful. The suggestions given saved me a lot of time from guessing and wandering where to go.
Room exactly as expected and within easy walking distance of everything.

The place is amazingly nice, clean and with a lot of space. However outside is very noisy, chaotic and difficult to get there (specially with the luggage). The communication with the host was difficult at the beginning (he was "joking" about charging us for the internet or other things and we didn't follow his jokes, was uncomfortable and a bit unwelcoming), but afterwards he was pending and online.
I highly recommend Sophia Castle View! The accommodation was so clean and nice with a great location. We especially enjoyed the pool. Athanasios and his staff were also extremely helpful. He helped booked us a transfer from the airport and to the ferry port. He also provided recommendations for restaurants in Oia. Top notch customer service. Would stay here again.
The room is located at a very excellent place which could directly see the castle of Oia and the sunset. There are many stores and bars surrounded.
The location was very crowded, because the Oia castle is just there and you would not feel the privacy on the top because people will keep crossing by. The views are great, but you don't really get to see the sunset when you're in the outdoor area. The outdoors are very small. The Jacuzzi was not at all hot. The staff helped us move the luggage as this property is not accessible by vehicles, but they were also asking for the tip, I mean for what? Overall it's a bad deal for what you pay!
Great little place tucked away on the hill The staff is attentive, welcoming and wonderful. This is where you want to stay
This place probably has one of the best views in Oia. Great spot for the sunset.
Loved the whole experience. Being our third trip to Santorini where we never had stayed at a place on the island with the postcard view, we simply wanted to find a place that had the views. We didn't so much care about walking around visiting places on the island. Basically staying in and enjoying the room and views. Well this place doesn't disappoint. It's views and amenities are amazing. You don't need to leave if staying for a few days. Even cooked up our own Octopus and enjoyed this with wine on the balcony. Views are the best. Definitely one in the best places we have stayed in. Best tip I can give is take the transfer organised by Sophia Castle View to and from the ferry or airport who took or luggage to the venue (it not fun to do yourself given the steps etc) and clearly saved us from trying to find it. It's not cheap but not much is in Santorini in the summer.
Love it all. Amazing.
Perfect sunset spot but it is ridiculous busy in peak season! Cute little balcony to enjoy drinks or food. They allowed us to check in early which we were very greatful for. It’s a very basic but pretty room, comfortable bed! Expensive but expected for oia in santorini.
We waited where instructed for a porter to meet us. After 1hr and multiple phone calls we decided to walk to the room ourselves, we then waited another half an hour to be greeted. I was very disappointed to arrive and realise we didn’t have the pool. Don’t be fooled when it advertises accomadation with a hot tub pool. This is the downstairs accomadation. The have a seperate room upstairs. Due to crowds it was hard to access the accommodation especially during sunset. Breakfast would be great benefit for the owners to consider including considering how much you pay for the room.
Loved the location. It was everything I'd imagined... From the ocean view to the sunset to the hot tub overlooking the water. Room was beautiful, comfortable and the staff tidied up each morning. Plenty of restaurants, shops and more. Communication with property manager was amazing and loved how easy it was to have them assist in securing transportation. Perfection all the way around.
The view was amazing!! We had the top room with little balcony. Great location! We got help to walk our luggage from drop off and pick up area
There were some bugs and a cockroach. It crawled underneath our kitchenette and couldn’t get it out!! We messaged them for help but was told that the cliff area will sometimes have it. It took awhile but scary as it was scurrying around our room so fast! We couldn’t sleep because we thought there was more and couldn’t get one of them out fast enough
The location
Perfect room for a couple. The location is right near the castle with the perfect view of the caldera. The only minus is the pool which is not 100% private bun I guess you cannot ask for this in Oia.
the staff
location, no view, misrepresent
perfect property and location
driver was 40 minutes late to pick us up for our prepaid return trip to the airport. Almost missed the plane and had to end a perfect trip with the tremendous stress of potentially missing a plane and ruining the rest of the honeymoon. The good news: We didn’t miss the plane. As long as the driver shows up on time, this is a perfect place to stay! Awesome
The location was excellent!
Mario was the hotels rep and he was exceptional.
The uninterrupted view of the sunset is amazing !!
An exceptional apartment and great service overall. The property management took care also of my transport to and from the airport, there is a helpline / reception that will also take care of every of your needs. Had one of the most friendly check-in experiences. The apartment is wonderful, your location cannot be more central and the views from every window have been breathtaking. Everything is in a walking distance - restaurants, shops, landmarks. I am definitely recommending this apartment.
The view, the room, the host, everything was just excellent.
There wasn't anything
location
cleanliness, no microwave
Everything!!! The staff hospitality is amaizing, specially Magenna, our cleaning lady and also the host. The view of the sunset, sundown, the room was always clean, the decoration is top, very comfortable 👌🏼
The kitchen light bulb needs to get fixed and jacuzzi was not hot enough.
Amazing view and location by the castle. Angie is great, she was on call for our every need and made our stay really easy and enjoyable.
No privacy at all. People could see us from the street and we could hear them talking from inside.
The best spot in Santorini to view the sunset. We loved our stay in our little self-contained cave unit. Nice touches from the team who were great with communication and assisted us with our bags pre/post our stay. We can't wait to come again!
Great location , views are out of this world from the balcony and from inside the suite .
The hotel was amazing, the view is spectacular and the room was very nice and clean. Not to forget how friendly and helpful the host was. Transferring the luggage is a hassle but they took care of it. The hot tub was beautiful and the water temperatures was right for the weather. The location of the room was very close to the sunset view and we didn't have to leave our balcony to see it. Thank you for an amazing stay.
We really enjoyed our time at Sophia Castle View Caldera View suite. It is one of the few, if only place on Oia where you can view the sunrise and sunset from the balcony. The views are simply amazing, and this suite really showcased them. Breakfast for 2 is delivered to the room in the morning, and covered us for lunch most days. This place is amazing, and worth checking out!
As soon as I walked into the room: I was in love. This place was very clean. The view from the place was spectacular. If staying at oia, this place checks all the boxes. Bathroom and kitchenette was very cute as well. Kitchenette has utensils and sink. Bathroom has a shower with an open closet to hand clothes. The place also came with a safe, iron and ironing board.
Great location, beautiful views and friendly attentive staff. We would stay there again as the location was perfect for the sunset.
