Sounds ridiculous, but we stayed with Pipitsa in 1997 and have been dreaming of returning ever since. Just finding this listing and seeing photos that are virtual copies of my own have made us homesick. The rooms were clean and spacious with a view that cannot be captured in photos. Morning on the balcony is my "happy place." GO GO... More

My daughter and I just returned from a week's stay in Oia, Santorini, staying at Lava Oia's. Pepitsa is a wonderful proprietress, making us feel very "at home" -- talk about a room with a view! Wow! The beautiful Aegean sea at our doorstep, we had requested breakfast every morning on our verandah, delicious. We felt very spoiled by this... More

We had the standrad studio which is the cheapest room in this hotel. (the photo on the top of page) GOOD: 1. Big studio(at least 25m2) , very comfort and cozy, warm/simply decoration. Very clean. 2. Small hidding covered veranda(which safe you out from all the torists's photos and you can enjoy the big blue view like at home!) Only... More

We stayed in Villa Oia in August, 2012. Ms. Petridou is a fantastic host. She will happily assist you in everything to make your experience in Oia unforgettable from car rental to giving directions to places of interest. She even bought a fresh fish for us in Fira, provided us with spices , olive oil and fresh vegetables for cooking.... More

We stayed at Lava in July and loved every minute. Panagotia is the owner/ manager and goes out of her way to make your stay at Lava and more broadly on the island as memorable as possible. She printed off bus timetables, arranged a 4 wheeler for us, taxis to/ from airport and suggested places for us to see and... More

I spent 4 nights at Lava Oia, in August 2011, with my husband and our dog, during a trip to Santorini. It was one of the most beautiful places we have ever stayed in! Fantastic views, authentic interior, peaceful location down the main street of Oia, right before the pedestrian section. Having explored the whole island, I have no doubts... More

amazing place, with the best view i have ever seen!!! a little bit expensive but it is worth it!!! friendly stuff and clean!!! the location is super wow and u just have to go when u visit santorini!!! i will definately come back again!!!

Personnel and in this case the owner (Mrs. Pipitsa) makes the difference of excellent hospitality....let alone the view which is classed as one of the best of Santorini's in Oia....nice and cozy, quiet yet in the center of Oia, very reasonable pricing....a true sanctuary from a hectic city life.....
