THE ARESSANA HOTEL SANTORINI

The Aressana is a boutique luxury hotel in Fira, Santorini, located steps away from the famous caldera. Unlike many caldera-facing hotels, it has vehicle access.

Aressana offers a peaceful escape from the Fira bustle. It is nestled away from the tourist crowds, yet, conveniently close to the caldera, retail stores, and restaurants. 

When you have the famous Santorini caldera view within five minutes of your hotel, you can't complain.

Fira bus station is a five-minute walk from the hotel. Buses are the cheapest form of transportation in Santorini. Uber does not operate in Santorini.

Decorated in soothing white and gray hues, the well-appointed room came with a small patio that offered an opportunity to unwind with a drink after a hectic day in the sun.

Well-appointed Suites

Greek Buffet Breakfast

The buffet breakfast at the Aressana showcased authentic Greek cuisine, including homemade delicacies and local dishes from Santorini.

From freshly baked bread and pastries to fresh fruit, homemade snacks to familiar breakfast items, you can eat a balanced meal at the Aressana buffet breakfast.

Ifestioni Restaurant

The modern restaurant offers traditional cuisine prepared from locally-sourced ingredients, pastas, and seafood dishes.

The lobby Bar is small but well-stocked. The poolside bar provides an alternative to guests looking to lounge by the pool with a drink.

The hotel features quaint nooks and corners that are perfect for taking breaks in between your Santorini adventures.

The outdoor pool is surrounded by shady plants and deck chairs. Despite Santorini's attractions, the pool is a popular hangout spot for hotel guests.

Outdoor Pool

Fira's small downtown core is close to the Aressana Hotel. The food and retail outlets in the downtown area are more affordable than the ones facing the caldera.
