Maria's Place

We’d go back here in a heartbeat. Although there’s a whole world to explore, this would be a place to which I’d be happy to return. Anna as a helpful, knowledgeable and perfect host along with the staff make this place so pleasant, so much that going home is a hard choice. Breakfast was fabulous, the rooms were great and comfortable and the facilities are great. There is plenty to see within a walk and plenty of restaurants and bars to enjoy. Car or scooter hire, buses and taxis are all available nearby and the sunsets are available free within a short walk while enjoying a cocktail. Enjoy.

Amazing location - close to Oia. Beautiful, peaceful property - adults only. Anna - the manager was amazing, friendly and helpful. She set us up on a great private car tour to other end of island - driver was Armando - he speaks good English, is friendly and handsome.|The breakfasts at the hotel were great. Lots of cats in dining room but there is food put down for them and they were well behaved.

Staying here was the best decision we could have made. It’s slightly “off pitch” so very peaceful. It was very Homely in the best possible way. Very personal service and treated as an individual rather than a client! From the moment we arrived to the moment we left we felt like part of a family (not meant to sound cliched in any way). It was a 10 minute walk to the start of the “strip” . It is also a very short walk to Finikia where there are some great restaurants ( we ate in both Krinaki and Meze Meze and really enjoyed both)|We received some great recommendations for island tours and restaurants and had some great experiences. If we go back to Oia we would not contemplate staying anywhere else!

If I could give it extra credit, it would be on the service, atmosphere, and the amenities of breakfast and kindness. The manager, Anna who I believe is the heartbeat of Maria's Place is a gem. Her check in process makes you feel at ease like you've just returned home. We needed transportation, Anna took care of it, we wanted a local diner to eat at, she suggested a quaint little place that was spectacular. She provided tips and tricks to avoid the crowds of the 4 cruise ships that came in almost daily. We were well taken care of and regretted not being able to manage our schedule better to extend our stay. We will be returning and staying again at Maria's Place.

Awesome place to stay while exploring Santorini. Great breakfasts with lots of choices. Easy to walk into Oia, but away from the throngs of people. Highly recommend. The host, Anna, is lovely.

I do not think anything I could write would do the justice this place deserves. A hidden gem just between Finika and Oia, both walkable. Anna and the rest of the team were amazing. Cleanliness outstanding, breakfast enough and Anna was always on hand to answer any questions. She arrange an amazing boat trip with Barbarosa Sailing which we would say was a must. Well done Maria's Place and thank you for amazing memories which will never be forgotten.

About a km walk (about 15 mins) from the main bus station - we didn't realise that there was a bus stop just outside Maria's place that we could have used.|The breakfast here was amazing, the golden sultanas steeped in honey along with walnuts on top of Greek yoghurt was to die for.|Sadly Oia was too hot and too busy (even in September) for us - but the breakfast alone is worth coming back for.

Such a warm welcome from Anna from the moment we arrived. She gave us lots of really useful information on places to go, see and how to get around the island. The breakfast is very good, fresh and a nice selection of hot and cold food. The apartment was lovely, well equipped and kept incredibly clean throughout our stay. The pool area is nice and peaceful with plenty of sun beds. The pool is not heated, but very refreshing and welcome after being in the hot sun. The location of Maria’s Place is just perfect, a few minutes walk from the hustle and bustle of Oia and very close to some fabulous restaurants. We visited Meze Meze on two occasions, the food, atmosphere and service was exceptional and definitely worth a visit. |Anna and Kostas are a great team and run a fabulous hotel. Would highly recommend staying here. We hope to be back again one day soon. |Faye & John |U.K.
