Lava stone is a beautiful property in Ammoudi Bay. Away from the craziness of Oia, it is an oasis on the Aegean. Hearing the ocean while you drift off to sleep is a luxury in itself. The hotel staff was extremely accommodating, welcoming and kind. Would highly recommend.

Lava Stone was great! My husband and I arrived 2-3 hours before check in and we were able to grab lunch at the Ammoudi Bay fish tavern and check in early. Staff was friendly and accommodating. The are A LOT of steps to get to this hotel, so if that is a problem, don’t stay here. The VIEWS and atmosphere are so worth the stairs!

The staff is incredibly helpful with anything you need (shout out to Vicky) and the view from the room and porch incredible. Perfect for romantics and honeymooners. Be aware that it is at sea level so convenient to swimming and taking boat day trips but you need to spend $20-$30 euros a day to get up the hill (donkey or taxi) if you want to have more food options, shop or travel to other locals and don’t want a strenuous climb. In my view, it’s worth that spend for the view alone, and being able to swim in the bay first thing in the morning.

Amazing views. Great area to visit. Early morning views and sunset/evenings are not to be missed. Genuinely think this is the best place in Santorini (ie area wise). Staff were great. Cleaning everyday. Fresh towels. Water and coffee pods provided. Few points: there is a decent number of stairs (high stairs) to get to the rooms like anywhere in Santorini. Amoudi bay is down on the edge of a mountain. Every time you have to go to Oia it’s a 20-30 euro 4 minute car drive, or a 20-30 minute street hike, or a mountain of stairs to climb (has donkeys/horses that you can ride up there for 10 euros /person). So keep that in mind too.

Staying at Lava stone was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived after midnight to facilitating our later checkin and very early check out. We were captivated by the breathtaking views from our room. Our room was not only impeccably clean and beautifully decorated but also offered stunning views of the sunset. The hotel's location was perfect for exploring Oia. The highlight of our stay was undoubtedly enjoying breakfast on the terrace overlooking the Aegean Sea, a truly magical way to start the day. Without a doubt, lava stone exceeded all our expectations, and we cannot wait to return to this slice of paradise.

We enjoyed our stay at lava stone in Ammoudi bay. The property is very nice and clean. Georgia the housekeeper was super kind and helpful. Niko’s was very kind and welcoming and they were able to accommodate us for an earlier check in since we arrived early in the morning. If you plan on going to Oia on foot be prepared to climb 250 stairs to reach there or pay for a taxi every time . It is also a bit further from the airport and a cab will cost you €55. The options near by for food are a bit limited but overall our experience was great . The view from them rooms is unbeatable and the peace and quiet as well.

選擇這間酒店時請三思. 先說優點房間裝修很精緻,有巨型浴缸, 床舖很大很舒適亦乾淨整潔。 工作人員也很友善但請注意工作人員并不是長駐在酒店, 所以沒有長時間的行李寄存服務. 我預訂這間酒店房間是為了欣賞日落美景, 但日落被其他建築物擋住, 附上我實際在房間看到的實景供參考. 而酒店的位置可以說是一場惡夢. 由Oia 巴士站步行前往酒店只有2條道路, 一是需時接近20分鐘的樓梯級, 會有騾子在旁邊經過.另一條需時相約，旁邊有汽車經過. 即使駕車也要泊在停車場然後乘搭免費接駁車到附近碼頭再步行樓梯前往. 極之不推薦給行動不便或有大量行李的人選擇,由其是在烈日當空. Think twice before choosing this hotel. First, the pros: the room is beautifully decorated, with a large bathtub, and the bed is very big, comfortable, and clean. The staff are also very friendly, but note that they are not stationed at the hotel full-time, so there is no long-term luggage storage service. I booked this hotel to enjoy the sunset view, but the sunset was blocked by other buildings. I've attached a photo of the actual view from my room for reference. As for the hotel's location, it's a nightmare. There are only two ways to walk to the hotel from the Oia bus station: one involves nearly 20 minutes of stairs, with donkeys passing by, and the other takes a similar amount of time with cars passing along the way. Even if you drive, you have to park in a parking, then take a free shuttle to the nearby port and walk up the stairs. I highly discourage anyone with mobility issues or lots of luggage from choosing this hotel, especially under the sun.

It is difficult to rate this hotel. All rooms have a big balcony/patio and provide some of the most astonishing views I've seen. The ocean, the views to the caldera and the castle, the sunsets, really beautiful. I was actually sad the day before leaving the place, couldn't get enough of that view. To me, it is the hotel with the most beautiful view I have stayed at. The staff was friendly and provided a courtesy wine to enjoy while seeing the views from the balcony. So, why not 5 stars? Some 5 sets of stairs have to be walked to reach the room, not ideal when carrying bags. Hotel is located at Ammoudi Bay, a beautiful spot, but cars are not allowed to access the bay. A van will take you from a parking lot, some 600m away from the hotel, to the bay. This works fine unless you have to leave early in the morning. We had to leave at 5am. Van services were not available and walking to the parkade from the bay carrying the bags was not a nice experience. Expect to hear sounds at night. I had to unplug the fridge as it kept waking me up and some transformer outside the room was also noisy. Windows don't have much sound insulation and the bay is windy, so you will hear wind and ocean sounds throughout the night. Anyhow, small things here and there. Just things to keep in mind and be prepared. Overall, I would say these are small details that I would gladly endure to gaze upon that view again. If you can carry bags and don’t wake up easily, you will love the experience.
