Hotel Vrachia Studios & Apartments (Oia, Greece)

The location of these apartments is a little removed from the main towns on Santorini, which was very enjoyable for some guests who had a peaceful, relaxing holiday with the private beach and sun terrace at their disposal. Views from the terrace are said to be exceptional, with many reviewers highlighting this as one of their favourite aspects of the hotel.

The majority of past guests were very pleased with their apartment, saying they found the furnishings to be comfortable and that the room included everything they needed to ensure independence throughout their stay. Several reviewers say the apartments are extremely clean and well maintained.

Though there are mixed reviews of the apartments, the general consensus is that they are a good value option for guests hoping to enjoy a quiet, refreshing holiday.

Some guests were disappointed to find the apartments are not within the town of Oia, though the distance from the centre of the town is stated on their website. Some were unhappy to find themselves so isolated, while for couples and those looking for a quiet getaway this was an ideal option. For anyone looking to be amongst the action, wanting to be able to sightsee, shop and dine out with ease, it is not the best choice.

Several reviewers say the Wi-Fi at these apartments does not work at all, though most of those guests still enjoyed their stay and the accommodation overall.

Past guests report that the apartments do not have a reception desk per se, and that the accommodation here is very much self-reliant. Reviewers say they saw staff at check in and check out, but otherwise were left to their own devices - a positive for some, a negative for others - throughout the stay.
