Aesthesis Boutique Villas Firostefani

説實話，國外的酒店和國內很難相比，所謂的星級標準你也可以忽略不計。房間很小，也就是個公寓。設施設備也很一般，如果你不要也沒有牙刷牙具。早餐品種單一，但是食材應該還可以。

We stayed at the Aesthesis Drop villa for 3 nights and we enjoyed it. The villa is perfectly located in a quiet alley just 5 minutes away from everything. The villa was very clean and they came to clean the pool every day. They also w tiles to the pool which you don’t see on their website but it makes the pool looks nicer than what you see online. Everything was working fine, except the last day, when we didn’t have hot water in the shower; however, the water wasn’t freezing either so that didn’t bother us. The only negative which has nothing to do with the villa itself is that very unfortunately, Santorini receives an awful lot of cruise ships and they dock right in front of your beautiful view which turns into an eyesore. The cruise ships throw smoke into the air (which you can smell from the balcony) and at times have blaring music spoiling your peaceful moment. Due to the crazy amount of tourists coming from these cruises, there is a lot of garbage on the streets in Fira (not in the alley where the villa is though) so if you want a clean and quiet place to stay, go somewhere else where cruise tourists don’t have the time to go to. Breakfast was completely fine and delivered every morning at the time requested. I would recommend this villa. Hopefully Santorini will sort out the cruise ships and littering problems soon.

The villas look nice from the outside and they have a great view (well I think almost every hotel in Santorini has a nice view). But we can definitely not recommend the hotel because of various reasons: - the pool temperature was like cooking water. Only after complaining they told us that they can make cooler if we need it cooler. In the evening they then told us that it is broken and will be repaired (okay it happened the next day but we also wanted to spend time in the pool the first day) - the pool has very much chloride. In this amount it is definitely unhealthy for your skin and hair (I am a medical doctor). You even can see the green-yellowish color in the water. Despite your health it will also ruin your bathing suites. - the security box is broken. They know about this but it seems they don’t plan to repair…. - one of the lights is broken. If you use this light switch, all of the electricity goes out (would be nice to know in advance, but they will only tell you wenn it happens and you ask what’s the problem…) - the TV doesn’t work, there even isn’t a fitting cable. They lay the cable close to the TV seeming like it would work. You will only realize when you try to use it. - every Transport organized by the hotel is at minimum 20 minutes late. They will always tell you it is because of traffic jam (even if you don’t see any…). The funny thing: when you organize a transport by yourself they are always on time. - The same problem with the punctuality applies to the breakfast. You can decide the time but it’s not working. One time they bring it 30 minutes earlier and then another time 20 minutes later then the time you chose. After complaining for the pool they apologized and they offered us an “upgrade” for the next day to another Villa. But this Villa doesn’t have a view, so there would be absolutely no reason…
