Every year, i chose to spend a few days in Santorini. After having stayed in quite a few hotels, i decided - some 5 years ago - that Altana is THE place for me to stay. Situated at the highest point of Imerovigli, it offers breathtaking views and the most private jacuzzi pool in the village (everyone who passes by... more

If you're going to Santorini (and you should) please stay at Altana. The hospitality, decorating, and view are rare. Mario marks a map with options for sightseeing and dining. This alone is extremely valuable in a tourist location. Every recommendation was exactly right. It was tempting to never leave the veranda, because the view was spectacular, looking out into the... more

My husband and I just returned from a fabulously romantic stay at the Altana Traditional House in Santorini. It was quaint, private and had such a wonderful view of the Aegean Sea. Proprietor Sonya Tsaousi-Bekiari and son Mario were so hospitable and accommodating from suggestions of what to do and where to eat. A true trip to remember and a... more

We stayed at Altana a few years back, but after reading some negative reviews I wanted to post a quick review. The location of Altana is spectacular. I loved being at the top of the island. We did stay at other properties in Santorini, with a higher star rating, but I think if we went back we would choose Altana.... more

Altana is the only place we would stay at in Santorini! My wife and I had a fabulous trip to Greece, visiting Athens, Mykonos and finally Santorini. We always thoroughly research all our trips and made all our choices after extensively checking all reviews, especially on Trip Advisor. The great reviews for Altana were bang on! Santorini is a magical... more

Altana on Santorini was our first stop on our honeymoon, and what a wonderful way to start. We arrived without baggage due to some airline troubles, and the staff was truly upset and concerned that we were beginning our trip that way. They went out of their way to make our stay wonderful. We arrived just in time for sunset... more

We were on our honeymoon, and this was the highlight of our trip to Greece. Christos, Mario, and their mother were the friendliest, most helpful, most gracious hotel proprieters we met in Greece, perhaps in any country we've visited. The rooms were charming and comfortable. We had a wonderful view from our private terrace. Christos and Mario gave us great... more

We have only good memories from Santrorini and to a large part thanks to these amazing guys at the hotel who made our stay really good and comfortable! Mario and Chris, thanks for everything!!... more

After a long trip around the Greek islands, me and my fiance spent the last part of our holiday in Santorini at the Altana. Some family friends had recommended it. Arriving and seing that spectacular view from the top of the hotel (where an open-air jacuzzi pool was located!) was breathtaking. This place isn't your 'standard hotel', it has an... more
