1864 the Sea Captain's House

If you get a chance to stay here, it is out of this world. The view is second to none. Even though there are a ton of people around taking photos, your room is completely private and you have an unobstructed view of Santorini. One of the oldest properties in Santorini, the hotel has so much charm, especially its decor. Everything is near you. We even cancelled our dinner reservations because dining on our balcony was even better. The owners were so nice and helped us with our luggage and even stored it for us afterward. Highly recommend if you want to be in the heart of Santorini.

This location gets a 10 rating. Excellent location, and the room was very comfortable. The breakfast was outstanding and the staff was very attentive. Below our balcony is where all the popular Blue Dome photos are taken.

We stayed in the Captain suite and enjoyed every morning waking up to the beautiful views and having a feast set up for breakfast every day. The Instagrammable picture spot with the 2 blue domes is just steps away. Hence, it is very busy outside the suite, with people constantly walking past taking pictures of themselves and the scenery. We loved our time at Oia, and Takis is an excellent host who takes care of his guests. The town of Oia experienced water supply issues, and he alerted us as to when the town would be cutting the water supply so we could have enough time to take showers. He even brought extra bottled water to our room just in case. Now we are looking forward to seeing when we can come back.

One of the best vacation we had. Santorini is amazing and staying at Sea Captains was the most wise decision we made. Property is beautiful, I think it has the best location on the island. The service, what can I say, First class all the way. Takis and his staff, They pamper us from the time we wake up in the morning with coffee, breakfast in our villa, and he made sure we are taken care through the day with suggestions and setting up places to visit and eat. We will be back and strongly recommend.

Great location, super nice staff. Extraordinary breakfast!!!

In the heart of Oia just steps outside the door is the most magnificent view and opportunity for fabulous pictures of the iconic Santorini landscape. This is a quaint hotel with an amazing staff. Everything was perfect!

Our family of 4 stayed in the Cave suite. The suite is gorgeous, quite spacious with 2 bed rooms, 2 bath rooms, kitchen, indoor jacuzzi and plenty of closet space. Contemporary, chic interiors. The sea captains house is at the heart of Oia, with people lining up for photos outside your window all day long. However, once you walk through that door, it’s nice and quiet. Late at night and early morning when it’s quiet, it is just magical. The famous blue domes are right next to the property which means you are fighting with lines of people to get to your suite when cruise ships are in port. Breakfast is an extensive spread with post card perfect views including fashion shoots. I sat over the wall and watched sunrise over the blue church dome every morning - one of those magical moments and a passerby even asked to take my photo. My son and I would sit over the same wall (it’s wide and spacious, typical Oia style) and watch stars and caldera in the night. We have a great lounge/balcony with comfortable couch and table with the same views but somehow the wall was our favorite spot 😀. Manager Takis checked on us every day and helped us plan the perfect trip. All his restaurant recommendations were great, and he booked us on a small group sunset catamaran sailing which was fantastic. The market square is nearby and porter comes to the taxi to help with the luggage for arrival and departure as the hotel is in the pedestrian zone. Overall great stay. We stayed in Imerovigli during our previous visit and it was super quiet. Wanted something different this time around and knew to expect crowds when we chose Oia. Tips: We went to the old castle to view sunset one day with people packed like sardines. Had much better experience walking to the right from there another day (Takis’s advice) and had a beautiful view with windmills and was much quieter. @wanderlustvani on instagram for more photos

Amazing experience Amazing experience, the owner and staff are so kind and helpful. Help us arrange the breakfast to meet our tour schedule, provide nice taxi pick up and carry our heavy luggague through the stairs and streets. Location is right near the most popular photo taking spot.

Mr.Takis is a very nice property manager. He arranged all our pickups and drop off to and from hotel.He made sure we had breakfast next day as we had to do an early check out. This property is located in the heart of Oia with amazing views. We got up early to take pictures with the blue dome as it was right next to property and had a peaceful walk on the strip of Oia.
