Nonis Apartments is hands down the best place to stay when in Santorini. This place is also owned by the same person and they have another place a few doors down called Aroma Suites. They are very similar places, but both equally amazing. I traveled with my bestfriend, and it was honestly the best trip I will ever experience...not only because Santorini is such a beautiful place, but because the owner of Nonis and the hotel employees are so down to earth and unbelievably nice and helpful! They told us all the different places to go and try, which really helped make our stay much more relaxing and stress free. We stayed there for a week, and I honestly wanted to cry when we had to leave because its that great! They have an amazing view, just like their other place...you can see the ocean, the volcano, the city...its everything you could ask for! It's in the best location ever; its only like a 3 or 4 minute walk to all the shops and bars and restaurants, but it is still in a quiet area....so basically, its perfect for any kind of vacation.They also have a hot tub here, which is extremely nice...there's nothing like being in the hot tub and watching the sunset with some great wine! You could go on your honeymoon here, or a fun trip with friends, or even a relaxing vacation by yourself or with family. Nonis is perfect for any kind of traveler, whether you are young or old. I highly suggest this place and can't wait to go back and stay there again! It was by far the best vacation ever (and its all because of the people whom work there that made the stay so enjoyable and perfect)! :)

They even call themselves 'LUXURY' apartments!!.
Let's start with the good: The view is simply amazing.
Now let me continue with the description of Noni's LUXURY apartments and the service they provide.
1.- Not picked up at the port. Eventhough they promised to pick us up at the port of Thera, we arrived and noone was there from the hotel.
2.- No help with the luggage. Santorini is filled with stairs, but noone was there to help us carry our luggage to our room.
3.- Crib in misserable condition. We have a toddler that was supposed to sleep in a crib. It was completely broken down. The owner promised to replace it (we are still waiting)
4.- "Quadruple Cave": The room was described as a two separate bedrooms with a living space. It was actually a one bedroom with a living space where two sofas could be used as beds. Should have been described as a "Doulble ratshole".
5.- The beds in the living room: The mattresses in the living room were less than 3 inches think.
6.- No water during the night: We had absolutely no water during the night. No water for drinking, showering or the toilet (that would have been more than luxuriuls, that would have been ostentacious!!).
7.- No reception service during the afternoon or night. We had noone to ask for our lack of water. Also, we were locked out during the day, and I had to get to the room through the window above the door because there was noone in the reception.
8.- Internet?, what internet? It is only available in a different establishment 100 meters away from Noni's.

In all 220 Euros for one night in this terrible place is simply too much. I would not go there again even if it was free.

I stayed at Noni’s Luxury Apartments recently. My first choice would have been the Aroma Suites, but since there was no availability there during my preferred dates, Mr. Fanes (who manages both properties) referred me to Noni’s.

Overall, I had a mixed experience with Noni’s. Let me start with the positive aspects.

First, Noni’s has a shared terrace which offers an absolutely stunning view of the caldera and the nearby islands. Sipping wine and watching the sunset from the terrace will be one of the highlights of your stay there.

Second, Noni’s is in a quiet corner of Fira, but it is still only a 5-minute walk away from the bus station, the taxi stand, the central square, and the hustle and bustle of the touristy streets. Furthermore, Noni’s is only 20 steps down from the edge of the caldera. Some other hotels were 50 or more steps down.

Third, Mr. Fanes is a genuinely nice and hospitable person. He really takes good care of all his guests. He responded promptly (within a few hours) to all my e-mails. He picked us up at the airport when we arrived, and he drove us back to the airport on our last day. He gave us good restaurant recommendations. He invited us to use the wireless Internet connection at the Aroma Suites. He and his assistant Jessica offered us countless cups of coffee and glasses of wine while we were hanging out at the Aroma Suites. Mr. Fanes and Jessica are 2 of the nicest people you will ever meet. Our apartment was cleaned daily by the maid. She gave us clean towels and also wiped the floor every day.

Fourth, our apartment had a stove, a small fridge, a sink, as well as a few dishes, cups and silverware.

I also have a couple of negative comments.

First, the word “luxury” in Noni’s Luxury Apartments is a misnomer. The apartments are not luxurious. You are not paying for space or comfort; you are paying for the location and the view. Some of the furniture is in really bad shape and needs to be replaced. The hangers in the closet looked like they were homemade from wire. The stove in the kitchen definitely needs to be replaced. The shower loved playing foul-tempered jokes on us. One of the dressers in the living room was full of random junk.

Second, there was some confusion regarding the price of the apartment we rented. I have 3 e-mails from Mr. Fanes quoting 3 different prices for the same apartment: 60 euros per night, 130 euros per night, and 160 euros per night. The correct price turned out to be 160 euros. The 60 euro price was probably a typo. The 130 euro price was the price from last year, even though it was still posted on Noni’s official website when I made my reservation, and even though I received an e-mail from Mr. Fanes confirming that price. I am absolutely certain that Mr. Fanes is a decent person and is acting in good faith, so the pricing confusion was just due to miscommunication. But you should make sure you clear up any ambiguity regarding pricing before you arrive.

Third, if you are renting one of the apartments for 3 or 4 people, you might not get the degree of privacy you are accustomed to. 1-2 people can stay in the bedroom and 1-2 people can stay in the living room. However, if you are staying in the living room and need to go to the bathroom, you have to walk through the bedroom. If you are staying in the bedroom and need to go outside, you will have to walk through the living room. In addition, there is a large opening in the wall (sort of like a window) between the living room and the bedroom, so they are not really 2 completely separate rooms, in the traditional sense of the word.

Reservations at this hotel was made by the hotel of our first choice. As we could not be accommodated there on our first night, the hotel manager had referred us to Noni Hotel. The owner, Mr Fanis, had kindly accommodated us at short notice.

Mr Fanis himself had picked us up at the airport. He was a very nice man who spoke good English and knew Santorini like the back of his hand. Mr Fanis owns several hotels in Santorini, the Noni being one of them.

Our bedroom was clean with a private bath and tub. Aside from the bed, the room was also furnished with a sofa, television, refrigerator and some kitchen utensils. As well, it has a verandah that opens to the common area but more importantly, it boasts of an unobstructed view of the caldera.

A word of caution, though. This hotel is not for the faint-hearted, literally, as are most of the hotels in Santorini. Unless you are traveling very lightly, the trek to and from the hotel is a challenge. Otherwise, this hotel is recommendable, especially because of the owner who goes out of his way to ensure that his guests have a lovely time at his native place.
