Aria Lito Mansion

The hotel is VERY centrally located in Thera, so you can easily explore the whole town from there. It is probably one of the biggest hotel properties in town, with a very large outdoor patio/terrace, and is quite peaceful a midst the very crowded, small shopping/tourist streets. The staff are super friendly. The pool is not warmed, so keep this in mind depending on the time of year you travel. There is also no caldera view, since the patio is on the east and south sides of the building. Although a long ways away, you can actually see the water on the east side of the island, but don’t choose this hotel for the view, choose it for the peace and quiet, and privacy, in a crowded area. Finally, although there is ‘free parking’ is actually a free public parking lot about 250 meters up the street from the property.

The good: Great location in the north end of downtown Fira. The back entrance is right next to the shops and restaurants. This is and old mansion, but very well maintained and clean. Nice swimming pool and patio areas. The staff is friendly and attentive. The not so good: The breakfast could have a little more variety. Mixed fruit seem to be out of a can, not fresh. We selected this place because they promoted having cribs, but did not have one for us. We. Had to improvise a sleeping area with a small bed and some chairs on the side. The building has very high ceilings, so people talking on the hallway or every small noise is heard everywhere. Nearby church bell is very loud, so the location is not the best for sleeping in the afternoon until midnight.

The mansion is amazing with very elegant and comfy ambiance. Impressive tall headroom and large windows facing private garden. The experience of having morning breakfasts inside a cozy garden hidden from the neighbouring tourist area is truly unique. The staff members are friendly especially Stacey who is always so helpful with a big smile. The only regret of my stay was the water suspension right on arrival. The staff did help to offer us two large bottles of water for temporary relief!

Centrally located boutique hotel. Good Service from the Front desk manager Stacy! Located at the heart of Fira! Close to bus terminal, cable car, shopping and points of interest

Great location, right by the tall church in the middle of Fira. access to the road, to the path and minutes from all restaurants and all.The Staff were amazing, Stacy and her team took care of us and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and enjoy our vacation. they were personable and professional. Our room was beautiful, this is an old office building with high ceiling rooms, beautiful rooms but also clean and renovated beautifully keeping the original features. Would go back to this place again!

Service is amazing. We had to leave at 5:30am for the ferry port and Stacy at the front desk offered and arranged to deliver breakfast to our room at 5am. Extremely friendly and helpful staff especially Stacy and Gregory, the best I have ever come across. Hotel is clean, very comfortable and very well-located, right in the heart of Fira where all the shops are.

Positives: beautiful building, nice interior of the suite with very high ceiling and fresco, close to everything in Fira, Room to improve: beds not very comfy, breakfast was very basic, some staff members very friendly, others not so. Note that sea views are not to the sunset side but to the other side of the island.

Lovely Hotel, oasis of calm

Very friendly staffs Great location near Fira bus terminal, cable car, shops and restaurants
