The staff were very friendly and helpful. $$$ Well maintained property with beautiful and spacious rooms. Scenic views, in Imarovigli village. It’s east facing so not ideal if you wish to stay in room to enjoy the Santorini Sunset!

Be prepared to walk a steep hill to get to the bus stop and shops etc. We should have hired a car as taxis are 30 euros to get to the main bus terminal for the beach. The stop for oia isnt far from the hotel but the other buses are at the top if the mountain. We walked a lot of the time so make sure you have flat shoes even for going out in the evenings.

The staff was outstanding!
The location was farther out than I expected. Walking on the roads into town seemed VERY dangerous. We ended up renting an 4 wheeler for transportation around the island. The 4 wheeler was so much fun.

Great location with stunning views of the eastern side of the island. Sunrise on the patio overlooking the Aegean Sea ftw! The staff exceeded all expectations, with the best breakfast we had in Greece served to order each morning on our deck. Imerovigli allows for easy access to all the spots on the island, without the crowds.

Great location to stay in Santorini
This hotel was in a great location within walking distance to Fira (15 minutes) and Imerovigli (5 minutes). Also had a bus stop about 200 metres down the road that takes you straight to Oia. The Hercules suite was well-furnished and had amazing views of the eastern side of the island. The bed was comfortable and the lounge/kitchenette area was great. The only downside was that the hot water was temperamental and did not work 2 of the 4 mornings we stayed at Belle Etoile. The pool was nice (although smaller in person than expected) and staff were lovely. We would definitely stay here again for the convenience and views. Do note though that to walk anywhere there is limited pathways and you will need to walk on the road. That goes for most places in Santorini though, except inside the main towns themselves.

Superb
Overall it was excellent experience. Location was good, few minutes away from touristic area with tons of restaurants and shops. The staff would arrange tours and even a car rental for you that will deliver the car to the apartment and you can also return it there, so very convenient and easy. Free parking right in front of the property. The included breakfast was very complete and had multiple options to choose from, it was always delivered right on time. Room was excellent in every aspect, very spacious and great bathroom. Staff extremely attentive, really 100% recommended.

They kept trying to charge me for things I never got (food at the pool, a beer from the minibar). Plus also pushed tours which I don’t appreciate. Nice view however even though it is in one of the bigger towns, the location is inconvenient as there are a ton of dead end roads and big hills where you feel like you could get hit by a car at any moment

Mixed but fine overall
I don’t think I’d chose this hotel if I returned to santorini (I’d spend a bit more for something with a caldera view probably - up to like $50/night more if that helps?) but it wasn’t a bad hotel.
Some thoughts:
- Not caldera view and 10-15 min uphill walk to imerovigli (where there are restaurants, markets and caldera view) but still a pretty sea view from rooms and pool at Belle Etoile
- comfortable bed
- Shower could use a ledge or something (nowhere whatsoever to put toiletries)
- Pool area is a bit stark and depressing . A bit of landscape design /flowers etc or some colorful umbrellas
- At first I thought the bucolic farm view was charming but grew depressed seeing the horses tied up in the sun all day without water or the ability to move. Not the hotel’s fault but if you’re sensitive about that kind of thing it might get to you
- It’d be a perfect spot particularly if you’re renting a car bc there’s parking and it’s right in the middle of the island. I didn’t rent a car so it felt a bit isolated. But overall i was pleased with what I got for the money given the price of accommodations in Santorini.

Clean and comfortable
Hotel staff are extremely helpful and efficient. The room was exceptionally clean with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Great views and pool.
You really need a car as the walk to the town at night can be a bit dangerous as no pavement or lights.
