Nano Oia Villas

This was the most expensive hotel I stayed at during my entire trip to Italy, Vatican City, and Greece. Even in the off-season, it cost €1300 per night, plus a daily city tax of €9. The hotel is located in Oia. A taxi ride there cost me €30 one way (price for reference). This area features the buildings frequently seen on Santorini postcards. The Nano Hotel is located above the island's No. 1 restaurant on Dianping (a separate post; I found the food neither good nor the service particularly enthusiastic, and the view from the hotel was better than from the hotel itself). Next to the hotel is the famous blue-domed church. Actually, I noticed that almost all the churches on the island have blue domes. If you use Gaode Maps, you'll only see the one in Fira. The hotel offers cave rooms (a bit damp, but manageable with the dehumidifier). The bathroom is rather low, which is a drawback, and the zipper doesn't zip, so water easily splashes out. The room itself is incredibly spacious, basically a large one-bedroom, one-living room, one-bathroom, one-kitchen layout. There's a large open-air balcony outside (most hotels have this), where you can sit and have breakfast. So relaxing! There's a jacuzzi where you can soak and lie down while enjoying the scenery – the experience is unbeatable! As for the tourists coming and going at the entrance and the occasional horse manure on the ground, just ignore it; nothing is perfect. The staff carried our luggage (about 300 meters from the only parking lot in town) and could act as an intermediary to recommend yacht trips. We paid €105 per person for half a day on a 7-person yacht, including a BBQ meal, swimming in the sea, and watching the sunset – absolutely perfect!

The location is very good.

Very poor, I highly recommend it. The cleanliness was extremely poor, with lots of ants nesting in the room. The quilt didn't even come with a cover, just a blanket, which was extremely unhygienic. The only good thing was that they provided assistance with your luggage, but that's not a service you'd find in any hotel here. The breakfast was also very average.

The location description is different. Only the most expensive rooms face the sunset. The other rooms are quite far away. It's different from the map description, and people are often taking photos right in front of you. Free is better than our view. At over 2,000 yuan, it's completely not worth it.

The guide was wonderful. When I got lost, he kindly explained the route via video call and chat. He also recommended some shops.
