Excellent historic heritage property. Huge rooms. Bathrooms are antiquated with no shower curtains/barriers (apparently due to heritage property regulations). Nice breakfast and excellent owners

Amazing experience

Amazing experience, the owner and staff are so kind and helpful. Help us arrange the breakfast to meet our tour schedule, provide nice taxi pick up and carry our heavy luggague through the stairs and streets. Location is right near the most popular photo taking spot.

Stunning property! We stayed in the Sea Captain’s suite and it was spacious, clean and an unforgettable accommodation because it exudes old world charm which we loved. The courtyard was beautiful and it provided a peaceful oasis away from the crowds outside. The hotel’s porter will meet you once your driver drops you off at a designated area. Our porter carried our bags and climbed with them up the steps to the hotel. We were grateful for that service! The hotel manager, Takis, met us and showed us to our suite and we felt so taken care of immediately. We had arrived by ferry, and Takis also helped to arrange our transportation to and from the port. We stayed two nights and breakfast each morning was served in the courtyard and was amazing! There was always too much food and so beautifully presented and laid out we took pictures of our breakfast each morning! We would stay again at 1864 The Sea Captains House should our travels bring us back to beautiful Santorini!

One of the best vacation we had. Santorini is amazing and staying at Sea Captains was the most wise decision we made. Property is beautiful, I think it has the best location on the island. The service, what can I say, First class all the way. Takis and his staff, They pamper us from the time we wake up in the morning with coffee, breakfast in our villa, and he made sure we are taken care through the day with suggestions and setting up places to visit and eat. We will be back and strongly recommend.

Mr.Takis is a very nice property manager. He arranged all our pickups and drop off to and from hotel.He made sure we had breakfast next day as we had to do an early check out. This property is located in the heart of Oia with amazing views. We got up early to take pictures with the blue dome as it was right next to property and had a peaceful walk on the strip of Oia.

My wife and I stayed at this lovely boutique cave hotel and we had an amazing time. The location of this hotel is awesome, very convenient to walk to all the places to see in Oia plus close to the bus stop if you want to go to other places in Santorini, plus it has great views of the caldera and literally a stone’s throw from one of the picture taking place. Secondly, the breakfast was great, lots of fruits, Greek yogurt, cheese and choice of eggs. They even packed the breakfast for our early morning departure. Lastly, the manager, Mr Takis, is awesome. He sat down with us on multiple occasions and talked to us about the island’s history and geography. He helped plan our two day trip, suggested which restaurant’s to go to, and had arranged for our taxi ride from and back to the ferry. He made us feel like family. We would highly recommend this place.

Our stay at the the Sea Captain’s house surpassed our expectations. Takis, the manager, has excellent communication before arrival with options for travel to the hotel and offered help with excursions. Takis also arranged for a porter to help with our bags as it is down two sets of stairs from the main pedestrian only paths. Also included was 2 big bottles of water per day. We were provided with one of the best breakfast we have had in a hotel: coffee/tea, orange juice, baked goods, fruit plate, cheese and meat selections, Greek yoghurt, honey, and eggs. We were set for a day of exploring. Takis helped us plan our days. We would stay again and definitely recommend to anyone who wants to live the way people have in Oia for years….away from cars, enjoying a beautiful view. One has to expect so many people in the small walkways of Oia and adjust when you want to take photos. We were able to take the 2 domes photo but we did get up at 6am, fortunately we went back to the hotel and alept before breakfast.
We rented a car, easily found the meeting point. Grateful for the porter who helped us with our bags to the hotel
Main room as pictured in description of the captain’s suite.
The extra bedroom has steep stairs and would worry if we had kids as the window is floor level. We were only two so we did not use this room
Our private patio. Used both elevated areas for the views. Note everyone stands at the railing to get photos of Oia. Didn’t really bother us but if you put privacy high on your list this would not suit.
