I spent one wonderful week in Oia. The hotel perfectly faces the Caldera and from my suite I had a spectacular view on the sea, the volcano and the rest of the island. First and foremost the staff is really friendly and professionnal, always ready to help you and give you advice for what to see on the island... They really make you feel at home. You can also have some relaxing or energizing moments by ordering massages from a long list of massage techniques...The brand new spa is really perfect for taking care of yourself.
All I can say is that I higihly recommand this hotel if you visit the island. You won't forget it!

We have just returned from a wonderful weeks holiday at Tony s Sea captains House.The house is wonderful,and the views from the Sailing suite are out of this world.It is the finest most spellbinding view that I have experienced in my long life.Tony and his staff could not be more helpful or less obtrusive.Breakfast is awesome,the choice immense and service is impeccable.The air conditioning is a godsend.Oia is the prettiest part of Santorini and there is no better place to see it than from the balcony.The restaurants Ambrosia and Ambrosia and Nectar are very good.I cant believe that it was only yesterday that we saw our luggage loaded onto a donkey and left .I shall miss it and shall return.It will always be a magical memory.Thank you Tony

My husband and I met our very good friends here at The Sea Captain's House and stayed for 8 glorious days, occupying the Venetian and Sailing Suites located on the second floor of this picturesque villa overlooking the caldera in Oia. I am sure there isn't a more heavenly place on this planet. There were days when the only exertion made was opening bottles of wine and propping legs up on the outdoor lounge chairs! It is quiet and charming; what more do you need than the Santorini sun and view? Tony, our host, was busy with his restaurants (which offer discounts when staying at The Sea Captain's House-- we highly recommend the splurge of dinner at Ambrosia) and other projects, but was very cordial and accommodating when we saw him. But Antonio spoiled us completely. He is a man of amazing talents: preparing and bringing wonderful breakfasts at our request on the terrace (complete a "wish list" for breakfast and the time-- no deadlines!) and is a proficient masseuse. In fact, by the time this review is written, The Sea Captain's House will be next door to a spa and massage center. Please take advantage of the various services (manicures to salt rubs). I couldn't persuade Antonio to come home with us, but who would leave this paradise?

Both suites were immaculate, large and airy; the bathrooms comfortable and stocked with L'Occitane bath products, bathrobes and thick, fluffy towels. Fresh flowers and tasty pastries/cookies can be found daily on the sitting area tables. There is a dry sauna available for guests; unfortunately, we didn't have time to try it out, but there is room for 2 people. The suites are exactly as they look on the Sea Captain's House website; I would include pictures with this review; however, they need to be transferred from digital tape! We were picked up promptly at the Santorini airport as promised and suitcases were transported to the villa via donkey taxi, as no vehicles are allowed in Oia! All services offered were impeccably handled!

The Sea Captain's House offer special packages, one which we took advantage of included a private all day catamaran trip around the caldara with "Captain Ted"; what fun we had that day. I highly recommend looking into the various packages; I am sure there is one that will suit your stay.

The best thing though is the feeling of being a part of a family when staying here. You don't feel like a guest at all. This stay was priceless, and we will definitely be back in this corner of heaven. And don't forget to say hi to Bouchinette! She will greet you with a lick and a wagging tail!

Tony Mosiman and his staff were "top notch" when it comes to hospitality during our stay at The Sea Captain's House in Oia. This level of hospitality actually began when I was researching our stay more than 6 months prior to our arrival. I had come across the web site on a search, and any questions I had were answered by the next morning when I checked my email. Tony not only helped me in choosing which room was right for us, but also helped out with suggestions for the entire island as well. This was a big help, considering that neither my wife nor I had been to Greece before and extensive info on Santorini can be limited.
The Sea Captain's House has 3 suites in the house, and there is an apartment called "Falling Stars" which is just steps up the path from the House. This is where we stayed for 6 nights. It was amazing to say the least. The views from this apartment were absolutely incredible, both from inside the house as well as on the private balcony. On the website there is a link "Falling Stars" which will show some photos to illustrate what I'm talking about. This apartment receives alot of natural light due to the amount of windows and its location...just perfect for us!!!
For our stay, I booked the "Island Relax" Special for 2 which included roundtrip transfers from the airport, massages for each person, 1 days use of the car, and 20% off at restaurants "Ambrosia" and "Ambrosia and Nectar". Tony booked us for opening nights of both retaurants and we are still raving about the food 1 month later...absolutely delicious.
As far as Santorini goes, it is truly a magical place. A day has not passed since we left that I have not thought of those breathtaking views and beautiful colors. The town of Oia was perfect for us because it was removed from the bar nightlife of Fira...we prefer a great dinner and bottle of wine. Not to mention the world famous sunsets out over the Agean...Wow!
My wife and I have made a promise to return to Santorini for a future Wedding Anniversary. We will be returning to the Sea Captain's House as well. Thank you to Tony and his wonderful staff!
