1864 The Sea Captain's House

Dimitra, the Hostess was amazing with coordinating our stay, sunset cruise, communicating with transfer company for moving around island. The staff was awesome as well: house keeping, breakfast and bag porter to/from location

NOT PROPERTYS FAULT: Because of the location of Sea Captain relative to the blue domes, there were a lot of cruise ship tourists camped out on our path to/from property top take photos

Excellent breakfast. Worked around our schedule

From the moment we arrived in Oia, everything was taken care of with such care and professionalism. Transportation was arranged for us ahead of time, and when we got there, the luggage porter met us and carried our two huge suitcases through the charming Oia alleyways. When he reached the steps, he lifted one on his shoulder and carried the other by hand — truly impressive! As soon as we reached the entrance, our wonderful host Takis came out to greet us with the warmest welcome. He gave us a little introduction to the Captain’s House, and I was already completely enchanted. The view took my breath away — I almost cried tears of joy! The house is perfectly located in the heart of Oia, with the most iconic and picturesque view right outside the door. The house itself feels like stepping back in time. You can really sense its history and charm, beautifully preserved since 1864. Staying there felt nostalgic and magical — like living in a piece of Oia’s story. We were there to celebrate my sister’s birthday, and it couldn’t have been more memorable. Every morning, we were treated to a delightful breakfast spread, lovingly prepared and beautifully presented. It reminded me of something from my grandmother’s time — homemade, generous, and full of heart. The location was simply unbeatable. Everything was just steps away, yet the atmosphere remained peaceful and private. The view outside our room was beyond stunning — the kind of view that stays in your memory forever. When it was time to leave, I accidentally left my glasses behind. Takis went above and beyond to arrange for a courier to check if they could be delivered to me. That level of kindness and attention to detail says everything about the hospitality here. In short — don’t think twice. 1864 The Sea Captain’s House is the perfect place to stay!

Nothing

Everything about my stay was exceptional! The location was perfect, the room was lovely, the view was stunning, and the morning breakfast was delicious. Mr. Aki truly stood out. He was the best! He arranged for a porter to assist with my luggage upon arrival and departure, which was a lifesaver, as I wouldn't have managed my suitcase on my own. Mr. Aki communicated with guests regularly, offering assistance and providing excellent recommendations for everything. The room was clean, beautiful, and very comfortable. Overall, I believe this is the best place to stay in Santorini, and I'm already planning my return!
