La Maltese Estate

The room decor and size

At first, I wasn’t sure to stay here due to the previous reviews and ratings but when I gave it a go and spend my first night, I didn’t want to leave and requested to extend my stay. I had to change rooms as they were fully booked but OMG this property is incredible! I honestly didn’t understand why La Maltese got such rating but the manager mentioned that they opened up while part of the property was under construction a year ago but luckily for me, it’s all done to a perfection. Room was so nice, spacious and had everything extravagant traveler might need. The quality of bed, shower and appliances were impeccable. Great wifi speed, I could do video calls with friends and family, USB ports next to bed to charge the phone and so much more. It was also amazing to have lounge area, when I wanted to rest or to work, I had a separate cozy space. The view from the hotel is on the other side of the island, not on caldera. However, it was rather plus for me that no groups of tourists constantly passing by, staring at me in the pool or taking photos. It’s perfect for those who also like privacy and quietness while staying at the top touristic spot. During my previous trip to Santorini, I experienced famous caldera view few years ago at the other hotel close by, it was lots of the noise from people walking by and music from restaurants. It was terrible as I couldn’t sleep and next day felt exhausted. That why, I loved La Maltese as it’s extremely quite yet next to everything. In the room, I had a Nespresso machine, it was so beautiful to wake up, make a cup of coffee and sit on a lovely terrace with sea view watching sunrise after a great sleep. Then to have a wonderful breakfast at their restaurant with another magnificent view and plenty of touristic attractions around. Also, the property provides shuttle service from/to the airport which is amazing as in Santorini no uber services. My rides arranged by La Maltese were flawless and on time.

This hotel is definitely stands out from everything Imirovigli has to offer. I had a wonderful stay and best deep sleep here as it was extremely quiet, bed was comfortable and everything super clean. The design of the room was incredible and exactly as on property’s photos. The ceiling was high with original dome architecture. Amazing combination of classic caldera build and fresh modern touch. The shower was spectacular as if you ever traveled to Santorini, most hotels have salty water in the shower. It’s an interesting feeling and may completely ruin the hair. So I was quite surprised that here they had nice water coming through the tubes. The staff was above and beyond so helpful and friendly. The check-in was fast and smooth. They help me with the luggage so I didn’t have to carry anything upon stairs. When I entered the room, I saw the instructions how to contact housekeeper via what’s app and wifi code. So all my additional requests were answered promptly. For dinner there is amazing BuddhaBar just 3 min walk with the best sunset and cocktails, as well as couples of traditional tavernas. Also, there are bakeries, supermarket with best Santorinian wines and pharmacy near by. I felt that in this little square, I had everything I need. Definitely recommend this stay and location.

the size of the room was exceptional
