The views were amazing. The majority of the staff was friendly. Sadly, money was “misplaced” out of my wallet conveniently after cleaning staff went in to arrange the room. Later, one of the management staff proceeded to wait for us into the night, and threatened to call the police on us for defamation of his establishment. He later went on to apologize, but the situation felt so weird and tense that I booked another stay somewhere else, even though this place was already paid for. Moving elsewhere was the best decision I made, and ultimately saved the trip from being ruined.

Response from Angelo Andreopoulos on 21 Feb 2024
Well, we wouldn't like to return to this case, but it seems that we have to. Let's see the case fact by fact from the very beginning. There had been a decoration request and since our guests had already arrived the decoration took place with them on the private veranda of the room, next to their private pool. In order to hurry things up the decoration was been made by 4 members of our staf instead for 2. We mention again that during this procedure our guests were in the very veranda of the room and no member of the staff was alone. After 10 minutes we have been informed that a certain amount of money was missing from their luggage. We have immediately asked them the permission to call the police so the police would come before any member of our staff would go for the day and the whole thing would clarify as soon as possible. No answer to this. On the contrary the amount of missing money kept changing (?) On the following day we have seen a negative review in Expedia with accusation for theft for our staff. Obviously this coudn't be tollerated, especially after their previous behaviour and we have said that they should proove of their accusation. The answer of the lady was that we should proove of our innocense. We have explained that it does not work this way and this review was defamation and should be off. Indeed, about half an hour after our conversation the gentleman has informed us that review was no more. Wanting to ease the tention we have sent to the room a bottle of wine and a discount card for the restaurant. On the following day we have been informed of their wish to depart - something we understand. Now about the payment, we have explained that rooms don't get paid to us by the guests, but from Expedia (guests pay Expedia and we get our share from Expedia with a virtual card) So any return of money was impossible for practical and moral reasons - we as hotel and staff had fully honored the reservation contract. So the have left without any more discussions or even complainants, to go on with their vacation. These are the accurate facts. We see no reason to apologize. We only regret that we didn't call the police on our own behalf so the guests would explain themselves as well. Here we need to clarify: It happens to hotels that somebody comes to reception saying" "I have missed my wallet or my mobile phone or my earings" We always offer the police solution, but 99,99% the fair answer is "Oh, I have found it, it had been misplaced in our luggage" Our job is far but easy. Following the procedures is our professional shield as hotel and as staff members. This is a case that we have fully followed the procedures so any accusation is nothing but defamation. We keep our right for any legal actions.

Honestly, I will never be visiting this place again. I tried everything possible to keep the dates of my stay but my boyfriend was deployed and his time kept getting extended. I tried to move the dates out several times but everything showed as booked even next year. I had customer service reach out To the hotel and they were of no help. We asked for even a partial refund (total trip was over $5000) and still they said no. This is the absolute worst experience I ever had. I hope no one else goes through this. We did not purposely miss the dates of a $5000 trip but we can’t help it if my boyfriend was still deployed. My friends, family and I will never book with this property again!!!

Dear Guest,Your reservation had a free cancellation optionuntil 14 days before the arrival date. After that day your reservation would be fully charged as agreed. You have demanded free cancellation after that limit, somenthing that we couldn't accept, but we have offered you the right to amend for 2024 season, since 1st of November our hotel would close for 2023. Most important, we cannot accept any review from anybody who has not visited our hotel. For these reasons we consider this review to be unjustified, provocative and unacceptable.

Great hotel and staff, amazing views!
Hotel was amazing for the price. Shoulder season in santorini. Private pool, cliffside view. Service was also amazing! People were very nice - angelo and niko. Also offered me to stay the whole extra day since my flight was late evening for a small fee. Totslly worth it! Would definitely come back and stay here.

Amazing stay, perfect location and views.
Amazing location, really quiet area and great local food nearby. We hired a car and driving around the island is really easy and everything is close by so I highly recommend this. The view is one of the highlights, facing perfectly for a sunrise. The pools aren’t heated so take some getting used to! Overall, cant fault anything, amazing stay.

Awesome Views, Bit Remote (which was good for us)
Manos (Aka Emanuel/Manreal) was the best part of this stay. He was so pleasant and efficient. Everything from bartending, serving, helping with any issues, carrying bags, but mostly interesting discussions and great recommendations. He will be the most memorable part of our stay. If he moved to a different property, we would follow him there. The hotel grounds and view and truly awesome and inspiring. Beautiful architecture, shared pool, view and blooming flowers everywhere. Our private pool and private deck was also wonderful. The layout of our 2 bedroom/2 bath suite was strange. The bathroom doors bump into the toilet and need to be danced around to get in or out. Coffee service starts at 8AM (unless you sneak in at 7:30AM), there is no coffee in your room. As someone awake at 5 or 6, that is a long time to wait. The hotel is remote and unless your tours include transportation, we recommend a rental car as you can't really walk to anyplace from the grounds (not even a cafe). Beds and pillows need improvement - these were our least favorite part of the stay. When we stayed there, most of the other guests were very private. Almost zero interaction with the other guests.

This place has so much potential given it’s beautiful view, but it’s just run down. We had a suite with a private pool. There were knobs missing off the dresser, trash can lid was broken, A/C wasn’t working properly, and there was only a flat sheet on the beds. Just little things to maintain would make a big difference. At the pool, a couple servers would sit at an empty bar. We had to get up and order everything and dirty dishes would sit next to us. Pool service would be great, especially when you have the staff. Also, it was listed that a one-way transfer to the ferry was $15, but we were charged $40.

Dear Brittany, we keep your review and we thank you for it. We will use it in our effort to become better. There is something that we want you to inform us of because this is very important: Where had you seen that the cost of the transfer from the ferry is 15 ? This is misleading information indeed and we must take care of it immediately.

Maison Des Lys is a beautiful hotel with lovely views. Our room was comfortable and lovely. The staff was helpful and very kind and the service was excellent. We ate breakfast and lunch at the hotel and both were delicious. Because of the location, you need to arrange transportation to get anywhere, although there are two restaurants within walking distance. I would stay here again the next time I am in Santorini.

The views are amazing. The site is a little remote, but we rented a car so that helped a lot. Being away from the crazy of oia and Fira was a plus all in. Not great for food, but good options aren’t far. Nothing walkable from here, you have to be very brave. Private pool was cold, but definitely a plus. Management was excellent and very responsive. Would definitely come back.

A really lovely hotel away from tourists
Good: Room was clean, bed was comfortable, the shower had excellent pressure, the view was magnificent, the private pool with the room was nice (water was not warm, but it is possible to swim in it when heated by the sun, especially at the end of the day), internet connection worked well, the jet tub bath was very relaxing To improve: The room key with its keyring was heavy as a brick, the bathtub was leaking filling up the tub on a higher level, the shower door also was also letting water out if not careful, the breakfast buffet while not bad at all need more choices (more fruits, rice pudding, ...), the safe had an issue so ended up not using it

Great room, but lacking in the overall experience
Fabulous suite, with private pool and amazing view! But as it was quite pricy and with a four-star standard, I think the breakfast and restaurant area was really disappointing. Small, not charming at all, small selection, always missing something (cups, plates, coffee, too few tables etc). Also, room service was surprisingly poor. They forgot to give us clean towels, they didn't take away dirty plates/cutlery, we didn't get enough glasses.

The hotel is beautiful, and it has the most remarkable views on the island! The room was good and the private pool was a bonus. The staff was awesome. The only complaint is that the time for breakfast was a little late (8 am), and we missed it most mornings bc of getting to our tours and excursions. Also dinner is not available to order until 7 pm.
