We had a lovely time at Santo Mine celebrating our 35th Wedding Anniversary. The location is breathtaking with the best views of the sunset that you could wish for. Everything looks brand new, and the bar, dinning and pool area is beautifully designed. We had a sunset suite with pool. The room itself is quite small, but it’s all you need, and the outside sitting area and pool give the privacy you need for a floating breakfast or afternoon read in the sun. We did a wine tasting which is very worthwhile. Who knew that Greek wines are so good? The assistant F and B Manager did the tasting (sorry, I didn’t get her name) but she was very good and informative. In fact, all of the staff were outstanding. Nothing was too much trouble. A special mention to Yanis and Katriona (there were 2!) at the pool. It is worth following the path up past the outdoor gym to the newly build church to get great views of Oia too. The hotel is only 5 minutes or so from Oia by a path just opposite reception. There are many excellent restaurants, and we got recommendations from the Concierge and they were all excellent. It is worth getting them to book as we always got the best seats in the house. The hotel really is an oasis and it’s nice to return after the hustle and bustle of the town. I’m giving it 5 stars for the overall experience. But it’s not 5 stars in the way The Oriental or Gleneagles is. But I would recommend it as a top-quality place to stay on Santorini.
