My husband and I stayed in the Honeymoon suite with the outdoor private jetted tub. Fava eco suites is located in Finnikia- It was the perfect location to stay! It is nice and quiet, with a couple of restaurants nearby (not many), but only a 10 minute or less walk to the more busy/touristy town of Oia. The bus stop is about a 5-10 minute walk as well. We bussed to Fira a couple of the days we were there- super easy to figure out transportation and the buses are very cheap (about 2 euros). It said welcome gift upon arrival, but we didn't get anything- which was fine! The place was very clean and it had 2 outdoor patio areas. One with the jetted tub and one upstairs with an AMAZING VIEW on the balcony. Breakfast was brought to your room every morning. Air conditioning worked well. The cold tub was super nice to cool off in since we were there in June. Overall we had a wonderful experience! I highly recommend it!

Disappointed stay
We were very very disappointed as the room that hotel offered was completely different from the one we have booked. There was no view at all and the number of beds in the room were also different. We tried to liaise with the hotel, they only said it was the one we have booked and they rejected to change and no compensation to us. They just keep saying that was the room type that we have booked. Will never book it in future and will not recommend to all my friends.

The property location is 20 min walk from Oia center. The property is located in a very quiet area. It is on the hill so be prepared for steps and unpaved roads. The hospitality was the best. The staff is very generous and respond quickly if you need anything. They also carry luggage from the main road from the bus station if you call them. They come and pick your luggage with a hand cart. Kudos to the staff. They are very helpful in any manner. The good thing is it’s very close to Oia main center. I would definitely recommend who wants to stay close to Oia with affordable price.

Eco Fava is a hidden gem. Its located in the small and quiet village of Finikia just a short walk away from Oia which is perfect for people wanting to stay outside, but still relatively close to, the tourist centres. The experience is unique and highly personalized – the terrace is beautiful, each room is one of a kind and a wonderful breakfast is personally delivered to you at the time of your choosing. Thomas and his staff were beyond kind and helpful: we had our (rather heavy) suitcases brought through the village both when we checked in and out, the room was immaculately cleaned every afternoon and the breakfast was spectacular and varied. The only slight issue was that the wifi did not reach fully into the traditional cave room we had, although Im not sure if this is the case for every room and we did not ultimately mind since it was accessible in the terrace area. I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a special travel experience!

This was a wonderful stay in Santorini away from the crowds but in walking distance to Oia. The village is quiet with several very nice restaurants. We stayed in the Maestro apartment which was lovely and roomy. WiFi was weak. They brought us a simple breakfast including coffee for the coffee maker in the apartment every morning which was nice. The location was convenient to local bus stop and tour bus stops. The steps and walkways are a bit tricky so bring good walking shoes. We did the volcano hot springs boat tour which was fun. We also took the tour of Akrotiri Black Beach and winery. Good tour if you want to learn about the island. Try the local dishes including fava, tomato fritters and stuff tomato and peppers!!

We did not realize how isolated this facility was and that it was rather lacking in amenities. We needed to cut it one day since the walk from the nearest car access was long and hard on my recently broken foot. However, the view from the deck was gorgeous and the nearby restaurant, MesaMesa had wonderful salads.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Fava Eco Residences. We were in the Maestro suite, and it was gorgeous. The unit was so unique, with large rooms, lovely showers, and very comfortable beds. Suitcases were delivered to our door and wisked away whenever we asked; an organic and very thoughtful breakfast was delivered to our door in the morning; and Thomas was a super sweet guy who was willing to help in any way possible. The property is environmentally aware and very conscious of its location and history in the town of Finikia. Our night at the Fava has been the highlight of our trip to Greece. Thank you!

Go there only if you are ok to get yelled in the m
Dont get carried away by looking at their beautiful pictures. They are pretty but also be prepared about your morning may get ruined. Even thought I saw few reviews about their bad service and front desk, I still did book this place only because of this pictures. I was there for only 2 days, and as soon as I called the front desk from my international number (yes, no phone facility), I said we were waiting for the breakfast, as the scheduled time last. Thomas, property manager, literally yelled at me and when I asked why are you behaving like this, he goes he is mad because something might have happened with him just before I called him. Seriously?!!!! Many other small nagative and some positive things too, but to me, if i stay at decent places and pay more, first thing I expect is good service. This hotel is expansive and staff is not at all friendly. Wished I had trusted the other reviews. PLEASE STAY SOMEWHERE ELSE. not the best view anyways. Oia is big and main area is about 30 min walk from this hotel.

The AC was strong, which was nice. The kitchen was small, but we did not do any cooking inside. The location is hidden away, so we really had to search around for a long time before we could find it.

We stayed in the Helios room for a week and it was lovely. The staff are really friendly and helpful which made the stay even better. The room is cleaned every day and the breakfast delivered to your room. A warning though it isn’t accessible by vehicle and it is quite a walk. However, it was a nice walk and the staff help with your cases to and from the room, which makes it a lot easier. I definitely recommend staying here, it’s great value for money and especially for being only a short walk to Oia

I give Fava a 3.5 out of 4. The location is a plus it is a 15 minute walk into Oia. I also enjoy how it is in a traditional settlement. The view from the aloni suite was very nice. It wasn’t of the caldera but it was still a very beautiful view to wake up to in the morning. Thomas the receptionist is very polite and will answer to any of your needs and that is very important to me. Great customer service. They also woke up to carry my bags to the taxi at 2 am and 4 am. They provide excellent service. The cons were the space of the aloni suite, however, I knew that going into it. The only really negative thing for me was the hot tub did not work and that was one of the reasons I booked the place. We knew at night in Santorini it can get cool so we figured a hot tub would be nice.

The absolute best view of the most amazing sunset in the world is from your balcony. Everything from check in to check out was amazing at Fava Eco. The hotel manager, Thomas, was the nicest, most accommodating host. He was happy to make sure we were very comfortable and that there wasn't anything we were in need of. He embodied the true spirit of Greece and Santorini. The residences are in the perfect location to walk into Oia, where there is a ton of shopping and dining options, not to mention gorgeous views. We would highly recommend taking part in a catamaran excursion and enjoying the islands from the sea. Excellent dining options are right in Finikia, just a few minutes walking distance from your room. We also suggest utilizing the public bus system on the island. The black and red beaches are must sees, and the bus will get you there for a fraction of the price of a taxi for little hassle. The busses are clean and air conditioned. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who is interested in submerging themselves in the life of the island for a genuine experience and vacation!

Ok to book if there is promotion
Location is out of the way not in the best part of Oia. If you are looking for a hotel with a view this is not for you. Mattress needed a topper and queen size is small for two person. Our potamas villas has two stories. The stairs lead to second floor is squeezy and small. For a price of 80sgd during off peak for a reasonable size cave house with breakfast is reasonable for me. I cant get something bettef for this price else where is other parts of Santorini. Carpark is about 5-7 mins away. Take note of the way back to your room. We lost our way on e first night and went around searching for almost an hour. No signs of the villa name outside of each villa. Reception is not 24 hrs. We asked the nearby restaurant for help and they contacted the receptionist. They were very helpful and loving people. You need to drive to book this hotel. If you can find a good deal like me and doesnt matter too much about the view because you will be switching hotel to another one later with better view. You can book Fava. The receptionist to butler were all very friendly and nice people.

We would like to inform you that our location is not out of the way because our way is not Oia but the traditional settlement of Finikia. We understand that your expectation was a view from Caldera but we are not in Caldera area.

Loved our stay.
Loved the neighborhood the hotel is in. It is in a traditional greek village. The rooms have a cave-dwelling feeling, which is a cool experience. The front desk staff is attentive to details. They booked us a cab for our pick up and drop to the port. They also packed us an early breakfast since our ferry was leaving early. Great. Highly recommended.

I didn’t know what to expect from Santorini, but one of the highlights of my trip was my stay at Fava Eco. The staff are very helpful, super friendly and fun to chat with. I only went for a week with my family but the place and its people made it quite memorable. I would definitely recommend it! Thank you
