Choosing Firostefani / Fira hotels
My wife and I plan to celebrate a memorable anniversary in early June. We are considering staying in the Firostefani section of Fira. Specifically, we narrowed it down to two hotels: Dana Villas and Ira Hotel.
Our criteria is a romantic place, located on a hill with view of the caldera, and within 15 minute walking distance to Fira. Up to 250 Euros per night.
I welcome comments, suggestions, and recommendations for other hotels.

Re: Choosing Firostefani / Fira hotels
They're both excellent choices. It's my impression that the Ira Hotel is just a little bit more upscale. I think the swimming pool is bigger, too. If you haven't already, you might also like to check the websites for Villa Ilias, Strass Residence, Cliffside Suites and Mill Houses.
Re: Choosing Firostefani / Fira hotels
I highly recommend to stay in Imerovigli. It's a very small village with not that many tourists as you have in Ia and much more sophisticated and peaceful than Fira. Practically every hotel in Imerovigli is super and with caldera view. Fira can be reached within 15 minutes.
Re: Choosing Firostefani / Fira hotels
I agree that Imerovigli is a small, quiet village, not so crowded as Fira or Oia, and the views are great, but keep in mind that there's not much there in the way of restaurants and shops and it's a mile uphill from Fira's attractions, meaning that if you don't have a car and don't take a bus or taxi the walk back to your hotel is difficult in the heat or after a big meal with wine. I'm assuming that the statement that Fira can be reached in 15 minutes does not apply to walking. Firostefani is the village that's 15 minutes' walk from Fira.
Re: Choosing Firostefani / Fira hotels
Thank you everyone for your comments. After doing further research, we decided to stay in Oia, further north. Reason for Oia is we felt we get better value than Firostefani establishments, and as an added bonus, we get sunset viewing from room veranda.
[ Who said a couple celebrating their 40th anniversary can’t be romantic ;-) ]

Ois is nice, but full of tourist - especially when the sun goes down. Enjoy your holiday! :-)

Re: Choosing Firostefani / Fira hotels
Oia is my favorite village. Yes, it gets undeniably crowded for a couple of hours when the tour buses bring visitors from the cruise ships in the morning, and in the evening to watch the sunset, but other than that it's the most beautiful and timeless village on the island. There are lots of excellent hotels, restaurants, shops and galleries there.
Be sure that you understand that only a few hotels have a view of the sunset. Most have a view of the caldera instead. Those with a sunset view are Oia Castle Hotel, Esperas Houses, Golden Sunset Villas, Marizan Villas and Fanari Villas.
