In the heart of Oia, the loving and comfortable apartment. Terrace overlooking the Caldera. John, the owner, very good and kind, gave us lots of advice on places to visit in Oia and the entire island of Santorini, as well as many descriptions of Greek culture in general. Highly recommended

Il cuore di Oia

Read previous reviews before booking.
Host John has serious anger issues. Threatened me as I thought the hot tub was free. Told me ‘do you know who I’am’ and ‘I know people’. Made us feel very uncomfortable. He reacted aggressively and tried to intimidate. Also initially tried to charge us for early check out. 
After we arrived he cancelled our booking so he was paid direct in full after he had taken our card details, meaning no fee payment. Also meaning we could no longer write a review on Booking.com
A very unpleasant man who clearly has issues. 
I’ve stayed in places all over the world. He is by far the worst host. 


Horrible host

The owner is a BULLY! First thing in the morning and he reeks of alcohol. The woman who cleans there is petrified of him. No wonder! He’s a violent man. He intimates having watched what happens in the rooms, so there must be hidden cameras. This place is unsafe for any woman to go to, even in the company of men. See all the reviews with warnings! Believe them!!

Horrible and frightening!

I booked this hotel via Booking.com as I was doing a run in Santorini On the 9/10. 
I had a late flight from London therefore arriving late night at the accommodation. I am a middle aged female, I travelled on my own. 
I emailed the accommodation a week prior to my travel with all The details of my flight and informed the owner I will be arriving late. He emailed me back to say there will be a 20euro charge . Noting I booked from the 7th and arrived 00:20 on the 8th. I agreed for the extra charge. 
I arrived at the hotel at 00:20 , my transfer left me at the door. I was a bit suspicious as the driver told me he phoned the hotel to inform them he will be dropping me and wanted some directions. The owner put the phone down on him. He told me seems he was asleep. 

The property was dark I looked for reception or some sort of entry, I could not see anyone. I phoned the owner multiple times. I managed to see reception on the first floor and went and knocked several times. I continued to call  it he meantime. I was at the property for over 1 hr not understanding what to do. 
I was in tears as I travelled in my own and was left in the middle of the night in a place I have never been before. 

After more than 1hr I saw the neighbour and told her what had happened they tried calling the owner after several unanswered calls the phone was switched off. 

The neighbours were extremely understanding and supportive they asked me to come to their home and they looked for another accommodation for me. I was informed this is a regular thing for that property, there are many issues and the owner is extremely rude , arrogant and unprofessional. 

I neighbour managed to secure a hotel for the night for me and asked her son to drop me to the hotel. 
I was left in a vulnerable situation in an unknown place. 
I was very lucky to have some genuine people to help me at that time. 

Absolutely disgusted with this. I ended up booking another hotel and sending over £700 on accommodation on top of my original booking.

Left vulnerable in the street in middle of the night!

At the beginning of the pedestrian area, family house with different studios and apartments. We had the triple studio with Caldera view. It was comfortable, clean and well maintained, perfectly in line with the pictures and description. The room did not have a private balcony but the house has several terraces for the guest to enjoy the view and the famous sunset.

Perfect spot to enjoy Oia!

We booked this last minute and when we arrived the owner was quite rude about this. He stated we would have to move rooms the next day even though we had booked for 2 nights. We messaged him as directed in the morning to see when we could change rooms as we wanted to go out. He replied and said he was stressed as his cleaner didn’t show up and that the other room wouldn’t be ready until 2. We said okay and that we would wait for it to be ready. He didn’t reply. At 11.15 he knocked on our door and started yelling at us saying we were past check out time and screamed at me to get out of the room. Confused we said we were staying 2 nights and didn’t have check out. He started to become aggressive, making comments about our sexuality and making arrogant comments about how we don’t even have jobs and don’t understand his stress. We asked him why he had an issue as it was not our fault the cleaner did not come. He became very aggressive and told us to ‘get the f@$k out’ and leave his hotel. He then proceeded to tell us he knew a lot of dangerous people on the island that could hurt us. I asked him not to threaten us and he continued and said he could have tourists killed. We were very traumatised and he said he would delete camera footage and say we were never there. Upon looking through other reviews it seems to be a pattern. It has been reported to the police and to the embassy. A legal case is also being looked into. It has also been mentioned in other peoples comments that he has abused other people and even physically assaulted them. He has told us he knows a lot of people on the island and can make us disappear. He also told us that he can make rocks fall on us like an accident and that we would die. I would advise everyone not to come here if you want to feel safe. He has higher reviews on Booking as he cancels bookings to make it look like people are not there so they cannot write reviews. Very scary and horrible experience. I would not wish this on anyone. I have attached photos of other reviews as this proves a pattern of aggression and abuse to customers.

Do not ever stay here for your own safety

Believe the reviews that warn about the host. He is an incredibly rude and aggressive person. He’s volatile and explosive! We were frightened of him! The villa is beautiful in the outside. The photos of the rooms do not tell the story. Read all the reviews that state the terrible accommodations. We stayed in #5 which is like a hovel. The twin beds are shoved where the sitting area once was. The dresser is under the stairs, teachable only if one bends and contorts. The only closet is a cupboard with 6 hangers, a shelf and a drawer. Host shows you how to kick the bottom to close the door all the way. The “kitchen” is not a kitchen but a small hallway with a sink, an electric kettle, a hot plate and a dorm room fridge. The only outlet is near the bathroom door so if you use the kettle, you have to set it on a chair below the outlet. Then turn that off and plug in the hot plate, also set on a chair. It’s a fire hazard. There is peeling paint above the fridge from the dampness. The view from that room is of old bottles set high in crates. If you want an iron, you have to haul all your clothes to the reception area and iron in his presence. Want to use the jacuzzi? Pay €20 per Leon extra. His recommendations are strange and useless. I asked for directions to the nearest market and he directed me to a market 1/2 mile away when right across the promenade is a mini market with everything one might need. He seems to be at odds with all his neighbors. He is disrespectful tot he guests. He complains about guests to other guests and he is aggressive and antagonistic. We were afraid of him and his tirades. We looked for another place to stay after he yelled and screamed at me but there was only one night left and nowhere to go. So we barricaded the door with chairs to feel safe. I think he had a sobering moment when he realized he’d behave extremely badly, but instead of apologizing he emailed Booking.com and claimed I had never shown up for the booking. Booking.com emailed me to confirm while I was STILL ON THE PROPERTY! I think it was his way of keeping me from being able to leave a review. The only other person/employee I saw there was a woman named Elena and she seemed to cringe and shrivel up in his presence. He’s frightening. I would NEVER stay there again. Santorini is beautiful but staying with this hot head is too high a price to pay for it. We paid $400+ per night for 4 nights a feel like compete fools for having paid even a dollar to stay here. It’s a bad situation. Stay away!

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE - RUDE AND AGGRESSIVE HOST

We are absolutely disgusted with our stay and the disrespectful treatment we received upon our check out. Owner of villa shouted at us for an issue with the apartment that we could not avoid and were told we should not of dried ourselves with the towels when a few stains were found from a day at the beach. Room was not cleaned once over our stay of 4 days, not offered new towels either. Due to the dampness of the room our cousin caught the flu, as the sheets and room was extremely damp. Nothing in the room was cleaned. Upon arrival he showed us to our room and told us about the appliances that we should not touch as they were broken and explained to us that we should be careful of the light in the room as it was broken and could harm ourselves. Absolutely disgusted by the treatment we received on check out. If we could give this apartment a review of 0 stars I would. Have never been treated with such disrespect.

Avoid!!!

We didn't read the reviews before our staying there due that our reservation was last minute and we regret it.
The location was good as the only thing in our staying. The room it wasn't so clean as we found many hairs all around the room and the sheets had a strange smell. There is a public -shared big balcony/yard and it is not so private as you believe due the front path is really croudet.
Furthermore the owner and our host John it was nice at the first but after a few hours he was rude with us and with the most of people there.
P.s avoid it if you don't want your host smell alcohol 24/7. It is really negative. 
BUT, if you skip all those things "it was a nice staying"

We didn't read the reviews before

The best hotel  we ve ever been privileged enough to stay at. Gorgeous traditional building, and it only gets more breathtaking when you walk in and see the Caldera view! High quality rooms, and high quality service. Thank you John 
You made us our stay soooò beautiful! 
Happy to meet you and can't wait to come again at Marylou John in Such a gorgeous area of Oia!
Highly recommend! 
Lovely place!
