Filomare Suites

We had a wonderful stay at Filomare Hotel and couldn't have been happier with our experience. The location is truly exceptional—just steps from the breathtaking Caldera, yet uniquely positioned to offer beautiful views from the pool overlooking the eastern side of the island and the sparkling Aegean Sea. It was the perfect balance of convenience, tranquility, and stunning scenery. The hotel itself was spotless, beautifully maintained, and incredibly welcoming. Every member of the staff was warm, friendly, and genuinely eager to make our stay enjoyable. Their hospitality made us feel right at home. Filomare is an outstanding choice with exceptional services We highly recommend it and would absolutely stay here again!

We had a wonderful stay! The deluxe villa was perfect for a family with easy access to a beautiful pool and a sitting area outside that over looks the sea with views of IOS island. Oia main attractions are across the street about a 5 min walk from a caldera view. Everything is very walkable. The pool drinks were amazing and service was top notch across the board (bartender, front desk and housekeeping). We loved having a refuge from the extremely crowded but beautiful main area of Oia. This felt like our own private oasis with great food including the included breakfast. There’s a convenience store right next door, a place to plan activities and a Pitogyros across the street. Would stay here again!!!

We were lucky to have enjoyed this beautiful resort shortly after its opening. It has a beautiful outdoor pool area and bar with the view of the sea. Panos the bartender was incredibly attentive and talented in making us delicious cocktails! He has original cocktail recipes that are outstanding. He was friendly and a pleasure to talk to. There was a buffet breakfast every morning which offered a wide variety of fresh options as well as hot eggs and bacon. All delicious! It was a great way to start the morning. Seating was indoor or outdoors which was nice. The location is fantastic. The resort is located in Oia within walking distance to restaurants, cafes and shops of Santorini where you can enjoy the sunset. If you don’t rent a car, you can take the large airconditioned buses which leave close to the Hotel Filomare. Lastly I need to mention the delightful girls at the front desk, especially Athena who was so helpful. She was very knowledgeable about the island and always took the time to chat with us. Overall, staying at the Filomare Oia Suites was a great experience.

Wondering why this beautiful hotel is so much cheaper than all the others in Oia? It’s a new, stunning property, with spacious, clean, modern rooms, free bottled water (you can’t drink the tap water in Santorini, nor flush toilet paper). Great amenities, a beautiful pool, outstanding included breakfast, and helpful staff that takes care of airport rides, dinner reservations, and more. The difference is the location. The expensive hotels are cliffside, overlooking the caldera, with startlingly beautiful views, where there are no roads, so it’s incredibly quiet (though there’s virtually no privacy, as all the tourists love looking down at people in their private pools). Filomare Suites is on the corner of the main road, at the busiest (only!) intersection in the whole town. It’s loud, with constant traffic from tour buses, tourists on ATVS, and beeping locals. Taxis drivers holler at you from across the street, the crosswalk is terribly dangerous, and the adjoining properties are cheap gyro shops, convenience stores, and lower-end restaurants. The view from Filomare isn’t the gorgeous caldera, It faces north, over a bus station for the cruise ships, past an empty expanse of land, and out to the Aegean. It’s not a terrible view, but once you walk the four minutes to the caldera view, you see why this hotel is a third of the cost of the ones facing south. The windows do shut out most of the noise, but poolside, the noise is inescapable.
