The staff at Porto Castello was excellent and very friendly and helpful. It’s a small hotel but was clean and provided everything we needed. The free shuttle service to and from Fira was very convenient. I would definitely stay here again. If quaint cozy and comfortable is what you’re looking for this is it… very budget friendly as well!!

Stayed here overnight during a layover. Staff was super friendly and nice. Shuttle to ferry port/airport is very convenient. Unfortunately, our room reeked of cigarette smoke which I found to be overwhelming.

Calm & tranquil hotel.

Calm & tranquil hotel with a pool, and one minute walk to the sea. Quiet & peaceful, away from all the madness. There's a free shuttle service to/from Fira every three hours. There are various breakfasts served untill 12pm. You can also order from a take away menu for lunch and dinner. Cindy and George are lovely. The only negative for me was smoking is allowed in the rooms..

The family who runs the hotel is welcoming and available 24 hours. The hotel provides a free shuttle to the bus transportation depot that takes you to the famous town of Oia to watch the sunset. The only concern is that you have to follow the hotel shuttle schedule that runs every three hours, requiring that you plan accordingly since it is a distance from Fira which is not walking distance.

Très bon hôtel, il est simple mais efficace. Un peu éloigné des villes avec de la vie mais l’hôtel fourni plusieurs navettes gratuites par jour (de l’hôtel vers Fira et de Fira vers l’hôtel) Il est également possible de se faire amener dans le centre en dehors des horaires de navettes moyennant un coût supplémentaire. L’hôtel propose aussi de nombreux services : location de moyens de transports, excursions, taxi…. Il y a une jolie plage juste en bas et un super resto pour les adeptes de la cuisine de la mer. La piscine est très bien aussi. Je conseille cet hôtel pour ce qui veulent être plus au calme en fin de journée sans l’agitation de la foule.

Good but not very accessible

This hotel is good for people who are looking for a place to relax onsite and not do much sightseeing. The room was great but the hotel needs some upgrades. The reception area is gloomy. This hotel is not accessible by public transit but there is a free shuttle service that takes you from the hotel to Fira 4 or 5 times a day. Close to a beach.

Family run hotel where you can feel Greek culture a bit closer. Located in a secluded and quiet area around 10 min from Fira city centre, they offer a free of charge transportation every 3 hours which is convenient. The rooms are modest but well equipped with A/C and mini fridge. Sheets and towels are changed every two days and the overall cleaning is spotless! Not sure if it is a thing in Greece but found weird have to hold the shower over my head. The breakfast runs from 8-12 and you will have few different and basic set menu to choose for. I picked the ‘Healthy’ and everything tasted very fresh everyday. The lady who helped me had a contagious and genuine smile even when they were busy! efcharistó! The pool restaurant opens at 4pm in case you don’t want to got back to town they have a tasty and adaptable menu. However if you are planning to spend the day at the hotel you could buy drinks and few snacks at the reception but there are no shops around so be prepared if you like snacking. As my flight was late, after checking out I could spend the day at the pool, have a shower and dinner before heading to the airport and it was really handy. I paid €25 for airport transfer and it takes only 10 minutes from the hotel. Overall I enjoyed very much my staying at Porto Castello and would recommend it for sure!

Posto accogliente, tranquillo, riservato e tranquillo. La camera era forse un po’ piccola, non c’è un parcheggio riservato e mancava l’ascensore. Per il resto più che soddisfatto, anche del personale e della pulizia. Si ricorda che è una condizione familiare come ce ne sono poche al mondo e bisogna quindi accontentarsi. Ho trascorso una settimana qui e sinceramente mi sono trovato bene pur essendo la prima volta che visitavo Santorini.
