Abyssanto Suites and Spa

The one good thing about this place is the view — it really is beautiful. Unfortunately, the rest was disappointing. We couldn’t use the outside part of our room because every night there were ants on our bench. The steps are steep, slick, and have no railings, which feels unsafe, especially after a drink or two. The pool is tiny — about the size of two hot tubs — and sits directly in front of the main office, so it feels awkward being on display. Getting around isn’t terrible with a small store and a couple of restaurants nearby, but transportation is pricey. Rides cost $35–$45 one way, more at certain hours. Since there’s no beach on-site, you’ll need a taxi — about $70–$90 round trip. The staff experience was frustrating. Before arriving, I called about early check-in since our flight landed at 8 a.m. They said it was no problem, but when we got there, they wanted $50 an hour — $350 total — just to enter a room that was already ready. On top of that, we had to sit through a 20-minute sales pitch for extras like in-room dinners and massages, and the upselling continued almost daily, which was annoying. To make things worse, their pricing felt unreasonable. Something that cost $50 in cash jumped to $80 if paying with a credit card, which they blamed on “fees.” A 60% markup is just crazy. Overall, the view is great, but between the ants, unsafe steps, tiny pool, pushy sales tactics, and surprise fees, it simply wasn’t worth it.

We had a wonderful stay at Abyssanto Suite and Spa. Mr. P. and Katerina treated us like family. Mr. P helped us plan our daily activities (private land tour with Cristos, sunset cruise). He provided shuttle service to wherever we wanted to go. The place was clean and breakfast was excellent. We were able to relax and truly enjoyed our vacation. The place has the best view of the caldera and the sunset! More Family

Excellent location, very inviting hosts (the owner Katarina was really respectful and kind) and amazing, spacious rooms. We had a very memorable stay here. We relaxed in the pool and enjoyed sunset on the pool chairs with wine. It was a very relaxing vacation. The breakfast is served to your room and is too notch! It’s a huge breakfast and you can enjoy it after sunrise, go for a hike from Fira to Oia and directly have dinner at several nearby restaurants. The location is very convenient and you can very much spend the entire vacation without leaving the neighborhood.

Very family friendly atmosphere. Imerovigli is not the busy part of town but the laid back part. Abyssanto suites is in very good condition and was about what I expected based on listing photos. The staff is friendly, down to earth, and speak into your heart and soul when they speak to you!

The team at Abyssanto is fantastic. Everyone was very friendly and helpful with arranging transportation, providing recommendations, and even packed us a to go breakfast when we had to leave for the airport at 4am. We had included breakfast and there is nothing better than enjoying it with a view in the morning. They provided a different breakfast spread each day that we were there. You can’t beat the views from this location. It is well located near some lovely restaurants within a few minutes walk.

Absolutely wonderful in every way. Especially all of the staff!
