Gianna Suites

Gianna Suites was easily walkable from both Fira and Firostefani but was located on a side street off the other side of the main road and therefore was quiet and peaceful, with lovely views out to the sea and flatter areas of Santorini. So it was also easily walkable to those areas as well. I especially loved the little private balcony which was warm and sunny and brought refreshing air inside. The hosts were exceptionally engaging and welcoming, offering a genuine sense of hospitality and organising tour and trip arrangements with sincere helpfulness. The drivers were also very engaging and genuine. Santorini, as a whole, treats visitors with great politeness. As an older, solo traveller, I felt safe and respected. I greatly appreciated their cheerful and honest responses, and also the self-respect and respect for Santorini that they showed. I value the authenticity which greeted me.

Really quiet, clean room with beautifully warm hot tub. Bed was really comfortable, as were the pillows. Room had fridge, kettle, coffee and complimentary water on arrival. Free WiFi. Ample handing space and drawer space. Plenty of adjustable lighting. Main area of Fira was about a ten minute walk. Adjustable air con and tv in room. Ample sized bathroom. Very friendly, helpful staff, who gave us a map, bus timetable and suggestions for places to eat. Good selection of breakfast items. Staff allowed us to leave the luggage at the property as we had a late flight.

The property was in perfect location, the staff were amazing and the suites were clean and tidy. We had a small issue with the fridge smelt like burning unfortunately this was a short stay so could not get sorted before leaving. The photos are different to the actual suites themselves but still similar just things have been changed and updated since would be nice to have the correct pictures.

Location of a Gianna Suites is in near of main city Fira (approximately 5 minutes walk way). On foot, you can reach the Main bus station. One ticket way costs 2€ per person (they prefer cash pay only). Cheaper than taxi (costs around 25 to 30€ one way). You will get all info from reception, you need only to ask. They warm welcoming and every time ready to assist and help you. Rooms are very clean in Greek white esthetic and all furniture are self made except of chairs and table on balcony. You will understand why when you take a walk through Fira. Breakfast is seasonal prepared, wonderful and tasty with plenty of choice, made by local grown food and a few local dishes. Mainly food is oriented to English spoken tourists, but there is also some of traditional Greek breakfast that have similarity with Mediterranean and Balkan dishes.

We opted for Deluxe suites with hot bath tub and it was very relaxing. Great for a couple looking for romantic getaway! The view of the ocean was great and the breakfast had many different options as well. The staff were all friendly, especially Jona who would go out of her way to help in any way and make great recommendations.
