  : Location is great. It has a great view and a lot of restaurant and shops are within walking distance. Konstantina, our host, is very helpful and replies to questions as needed.
  : Some of the linens look and feel worn. Amenities are a bit shabby for the rate being charged. But maybe, it is completely about the view that the property offers.

  : There was one A/C in the apartment located in the salon. Bedrooms do need an air conditioning. Otherwise, no complaints.

Fair

  : The location is nice. Little small changes in services can make this place excellent.
  : No Fan in one room. The bed mattress is low quality. No bin bags. The address is not clearly mentioned which made us difficult to find the flat. The chairs on the balcony are broken and old.

  : Santoriviera's location cannot be faulted. It has a terrace which overlooks the Caldera and on our first evening there, we witnessed the most exquisite sunset. Words cannot do it justice. Sitting on the terrace, drinking wine and watching the sun set over the Caldera, was a life defining moment for us. What added to it was the music coming from the restaurant Barolo, which is just a stone's throw from Santoriviera, as a result of which, we could also enjoy the sights and sounds emanating from Barolo, long after the sun had set, not to mention enjoy a meal there too. The apartment is also very close to the town of Fira, about a 5 minute walk to the restaurants and shops, which was great! Lastly, to our surprise, there was a cleaning service that came in daily to the apartment to wash any glassware or dirty dishes and we had our towels changed once during our 4 day 3 night stay there.
  : There was only a single bathroom which was dark and wet most of the time, as there was only a shower curtain around the shower area. As the shower curtain was constantly wet, it developed a strong smell which pervaded the apartment. There is no dustbin or waste paper basket to be found in the apartment. The furnishing in the apartment is very basic. If you arrive by bus, you will need to walk up a cobbled road approx. 300 m up a slope to the apartment but a taxi might drive up that slope provided that the boom gate is raised. Once you reach the apartment gate, there is a flight of stairs to ascend up to the first floor, where the apartment is. As there is no lift, this may prove a challenge for a less able bodied person. Once in the apartment, there are 3 steps leading down to the kitchen and 2 bedrooms, from the living cum dining area. Lastly, notwithstanding the wonderful view from the apartment, we still felt that it was a bit overpriced when we compared it with other properties with similar views but better facilities.
