Santorini was the perfect honeymoon location, and the Sea Captain's House was the best place to stay. The views were incredible and the staff was great! We enjoyed an incredible breakfast on our terrace every morning and the staff always gave thoughtful suggestions for where to go and what to see. Ever since our first email with the manager Tony we knew that we would be taken care of and that our trip would be first-class.

We ended up indulging in the catamaran tour and took Tony's convertible to a nearby winery and beach on the other side of the island for the day. Both trips were perfectly timed for our short 5-day stay on the island. But be warned -- the sea can get choppy so the cataran outing is not for anyone with a weak stomach :)

If you come to Santorini for a relaxing honeymoon stay in Oia. The Sea Captains House boasts the best views on the island. While people from all over the island (and off of cruise ships) wander to Oia for the sunset -- there is great value in staying in this location -- staying in Oia guarentees you the best location and restaurants for the famous sunset! Trust me, try the Sea Captains House, you will not be disappointed!!

We stayed here at the end of September 2006 based solely on Trip Advisor reviews. Tony and his staff served us well and we enjoyed lovely massages as well as the 'as advertised' lazy breakfast daily on our deck. Would readily stay there again based on the excellent service and attention to detail.

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!
