The staff at Porto Castello was excellent and very friendly and helpful. It’s a small hotel but was clean and provided everything we needed. The free shuttle service to and from Fira was very convenient. I would definitely stay here again. If quaint cozy and comfortable is what you’re looking for this is it… very budget friendly as well!!

The port is really small. No restaurant, nothing else than the beach and the pool.
The place is not as nice as the island.

We have had a very nice stay in Castello-Santorini. The room was nice, good airconditioning and a nice balcony with sea view. The swimming pool was also nice. They are super friendly!! There is a shuttle service from the hotel that brings you to the city which was very convenient! Good place to stay if you are planning to visit Santorini.
