a hidden gem offering genuine smiles and delightful saltwater pool access

Absolutely loved my stay at Porto Castello! The family-run atmosphere made me feel right at home. The warm hospitality, including a free shuttle every hour to Fira, was just fantastic. The saltwater pool was a perfect spot to relax after exploring. Breakfast was consistently fresh and tasty, with friendly service that just brightened my mornings!

the staff goes above and beyond to meet all requests. rooms can be smaller.

The location is perfect, just a few minutes from a beautiful beach. Noise from other guests in the hallway affected my sleep.

I stayed for 3 nights in a Double or Twin Room. The studio we rented was perfect for our big group, complete with a kitchen. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Plus, the shuttle service to the main town was a great convenience. 😊

The pool area was gorgeous, with stunning views and a lovely atmosphere. Enjoyed the quick shuttle service to explore nearby locations.

the short shuttle made exploring easy!

The accommodation features a comfortable room with a decent balcony and practical amenities such as a fridge and TV, enhancing the overall stay. A significant highlight was the friendly customer service from staff members, who genuinely made guests feel at home. Free transport to the nearby city center every three hours was a particularly convenient touch. However, there were issues with Wi-Fi connectivity that made staying connected challenging, and some common areas felt outdated. A limited breakfast selection could also use improvement, especially for guests with dietary restrictions.

The beautiful beach is just a short walk away. I loved the saltwater pool, perfect for relaxation. The staff was attentive and eager to help, which made a big difference. Thanks to a shuttle service every three hours, getting to Fira was hassle-free. Our room was clean and had practical amenities like a fridge and a kettle, making the stay comfortable. A couple of drawbacks included noise from planes overhead at night and the occasional inconsistency with Wi-Fi, which could be improved. Despite these issues, the peaceful environment made it worth it. I'll definitely come back!

Inconsistent Wi-Fi service!!! Rooms need better maintenance with outdated decor!!! Improvement in shower facilities is crucial, as controlling water pressure is complicated!!! Limited accessibility due to the absence of elevators is a hassle!!!

Had an amazing time—loved the free shuttle to Fira and breakfast was surprisingly delicious. Only downside was that the pool wasn't operational during my stay! I'd definitely return.

We had a wonderful time visiting the nearby beach, where the kids played happily. The complimentary shuttle to Fira was a lifesaver for our large party, making exploring the area easy. Staff truly felt like family, always smiling and ready to help.

In my wife’s opinion, there could be more activities for children.

i had a wonderful stay at porto castello. the staff was incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to assist my partner after an injury. the location was peaceful, making it ideal for relaxation, and just a short 10-minute drive from the airport. the saltwater pool and delicious food made our experience even better.

strongly recommend

Family run hotel where Greek culture feels closer. It's located in a serene area about 10 minutes from Fira city center. The rooms are modest yet well-equipped with A/C and a mini fridge. I'm impressed by the cleanliness—never met sheets and towels that felt so fresh every couple of days! Breakfast is served until noon with a tasty selection that I found appetizing, especially the 'Healthy' option. Plus, after check out, I enjoyed extra time by the pool before my late flight.

No nearby shops.

Great poolside snack bar! Wi-Fi was spotty, and air conditioning could be better.
