Please check carefully before renting this property, as there are some things they didn't tell us about. They say they have parking outside, but they don't mention that it's about four blocks up the mountain, where you can only park at the bottom to unload your bags, walk one block, and climb three flights of stairs. Additionally, they have no one to help you. They have a free shuttle service to the parking lot, but it doesn't run in the morning or at night. Also, please take good care of your belongings on the property. It was a very bad experience; I don't recommend it.

We had a wonderful one night stay at Lava Stone. We chose Ammoudi Bay over the main town Oia for the quiet setting and beautiful view, away from the overrun main town. All catamarans etc come into this bay for the sunset and we were able to watch it from the privacy of our own terrace. The hike up the big cobblestone steps to the main town is a bit exhausting - you can ride a mule up the hill instead if you wish… Do take advantage of them organizing a pick up for you from the port / airport. Not cheap, but very pleasant ride. Be aware that the car cannot reach the property and you have to carry your luggage up several flights of stairs. We only had a backpack, so that was no issue for us.

Beautiful location but have to be able to do stairs to get around. Seafood dining close, other restaurants up the stairs in Oia. Very convenient for a catamaran tour. Will stay here again, just to look over the water when you get up and go to bed

Beautiful water views. We loved sitting outside on the patio and we even saw a cruise ship leaving one evening. The rooms were beautiful and cleaned every day with great AC in each room. The downside of this location is that you’ll need to pay for transportation up to Oia every time you want to go somewhere. Spent hundreds of Euros in just three days and never went further south than the ferry port. We did the stairs twice, but you’re not going to want to do that climb every time you want to go somewhere. Walking down is easier and you can also walk along in the street which we did. But there is no car parking down in Ammoudi Bay. There are four restaurants. We ate at one for lunch and it was over 130€ for 3 drinks, bread, hummus and two salads. Other than those four restaurants there is a small shop that has a limited amount of ice cream, coffee, and a few deli sandwiches. Also there are 20-30 steps up to the rooms. They will help you with your luggage. It’s a nice place to stay. It’s just not convenient to exploring Santorini.

Even though we had to lug our luggage up the steps to the hotel, we loved it! No complaints here. Vicky in reception reached out to me a week before to arrange transportation from the airport to the hotel as well as our transfer to the ferry. She also arrange to have our luggage brought down to the shuttle on our departure. The restaurants below the hotel were wonderful. Wish we had more time to spend at Lava Stone to enjoy the sunrise. Walking the 250 steps up to take pictures by the blue domes were well worth it. Loved everything about Greece. Recommendation, do your shopping in Athens because it’s so much cheaper than the islands.

This apartment situated over Amoudi bay on Santorini, was a perfect location to people watch and see the many kinds of boats come and go including the impressive cruise ships when all lit up at night. The 270+ steps up to Oia is a good workout but you can always ride a donkey or take a taxi. Very close to restaurants, smoothies, ice cream and coffee shops. As well a short walk along the cliffs to a swimming spot. This apartment was incredibly clean and was equipped with hair dryer, slippers, soaps and extra blankets for cooler evenings. The deck had a swing making a nice spot to watch the sea. Vickie was so helpful with check in letting us know about the area and things to do. She booked us drivers when needed and had our bags handled for us on checkout. Thank you Vickie for being so kind and helpful! A charming spot! We loved being there.

I’m truly greatful for the late check-in where reception was ready to great us and check-in after midnight, she was friendly and welcoming. You can’t ask for more for definitely worth the price!

It is difficult to rate this hotel. All rooms have a big balcony/patio and provide some of the most astonishing views I've seen. The ocean, the views to the caldera and the castle, the sunsets, really beautiful. I was actually sad the day before leaving the place, couldn't get enough of that view. To me, it is the hotel with the most beautiful view I have stayed at. The staff was friendly and provided a courtesy wine to enjoy while seeing the views from the balcony. So, why not 5 stars? Some 5 sets of stairs have to be walked to reach the room, not ideal when carrying bags. Hotel is located at Ammoudi Bay, a beautiful spot, but cars are not allowed to access the bay. A van will take you from a parking lot, some 600m away from the hotel, to the bay. This works fine unless you have to leave early in the morning. We had to leave at 5am. Van services were not available and walking to the parkade from the bay carrying the bags was not a nice experience. Expect to hear sounds at night. I had to unplug the fridge as it kept waking me up and some transformer outside the room was also noisy. Windows don't have much sound insulation and the bay is windy, so you will hear wind and ocean sounds throughout the night. Anyhow, small things here and there. Just things to keep in mind and be prepared. Overall, I would say these are small details that I would gladly endure to gaze upon that view again. If you can carry bags and don’t wake up easily, you will love the experience.

Lava stone is a beautiful property in Ammoudi Bay. Away from the craziness of Oia, it is an oasis on the Aegean. Hearing the ocean while you drift off to sleep is a luxury in itself. The hotel staff was extremely accommodating, welcoming and kind. Would highly recommend.
