Tip Rating:   Satisfaction: |  |  | |  |
I stayed at Finikia Place in July 2007. I was traveling with my 2 daughters, 14 and 11 and my parents. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Finikia...the accomodations were lovely and the whole hotel complex made you feel like you were in a little white-washed Greek village! The buildings were built in a multi-level, typical Cycladic style....there were colorful flowers everywhere and with the backdrop of the blue, blue ocean, it made for postcard scenery! the rooms are small, however they are charming and built and furnished in the local style. Each room has a "porch" are with an umbrella and a couple of chairs. All rooms have a refrigerator, great for storing leftovers from the restaurants! But, the best feature this place had, to me, was the location.......it was nowhere near the bustling, crowded capital of Thira, and a 10-15 minute walk from Oia....so, it was very peaceful and quiet....yet, all the major sites and shopping were within easy reach bar car or motor bike. If you are looking for a quiet place with beautiful views and privacy, this is your place!
One note: Like most hotels on the Greek islands, the concept of making shower curtains that reach the bottom of the shower has not yet pentrated Greek thought...and all the showers have hand-held shower heads only, so the bathroom generally looks like there's been a flood after you shower....and I had 3 people in my room, so it got pretty wet! but, housekeeping cleans it up every day!
The views from this hotel are stunning...granted, it's not the caldera or the volcanic scenery everyone come to Santorini for, but taking breakfast on a terrace every morning with sweeping views of the deep blue water and wild countryside was calming and food for my soul! The sunsets here are lovely as well and can be enjoyed with a drink from the well-stocked bar or some fresh watermelon!
The swimming pool is fabulous - wonderful temperature, not crowded and eye-popping scenery to go with it. Towels are distributed to the lounge chairs early in the morning and are waiting for you when you get to the pool.
The food at the restaurant is delicious, too and quite unique! It's not just your typical every day Greek cuisine that everyone else serves....there are some very creative dishes and items I'd not seen anywhere else!
