Reviews for Katikies Garden

Luxury oasis close to the action

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 5 days ago

Had a wonderful stay here for 4-nights May 3-7. Had booked a Junior Suite but were upgraded to a Garden Suite upon arrival. Check-in was easy and appreciated that they then took the time to give us a quick tour of the property which was helpful as it is somewhat unique. Property is a former monastery with many stairs and twists and turns. Initially it seemed like a maze to find our way to the room and even back to reception but we soon got the hang of it. Room itself was very spacious and well appointed. Bedding was high quality and bed very comfortable. Our room had a nice garden seating area and plunge pool. Was nice to sit outside with a glass of wine but unfortunately the weather was not conducive to using the plunge pool. In the middle of summer this would be wonderful. The bathroom my least favorite part of an otherwise excellent room. It was a little dark and the combo bathtub/shower required to agility to get into without slipping. No problem for me but for anyone with less than good mobility I could see it be challenging. Only spent about 1-hour at the pool given the weather but the view from the pool is breathtaking, with endless views of the caldera. Breakfast was included and it was easy the best breakfast we had on our 14-days in Greece, lovely local pastries and many al la carte options. Service was a little spotty for mostly excellent. We had dinner at the high-end restaurant, Selene, one evening and it was delicious. We did the 12-course tasting menu (230eur) with wine pairing (90eur). Food quality, taste, originality, presentation and service were mostly at a Michelin level. Location of hotel is right in the edge of what I consider the tourist zone in Fira. Ideally situated with easy walking distance to all the shops and restaurants, but a still a quiet oasis away from the hordes of tourists in town. Would definitely stay here again if our travels bring us this way again.

Very lovely hotel, service and dining

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 5 days ago

A special Wedding Anniversary made spectacularly wonderful by the peaceful environment, supremely well appointed and comfortable suite, the service of all the staff and exquisite dining. As a treat to my retired chef husband we ate dinner in Selene's on our last night. What a taste experience,.. and taken care of courteously by waiting staff who carefully described and staged each course to give the best experience. Every item was beautiful, presented on unique porcelain, and cutlery, delicate glass ware. The flavours were sublime. My husband has eaten food by top rate famous London Chefs but rates this as the best taste experience of his life.

Perfection

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 week ago

It was perfect! The room, the staff and the accommodations were amazing! Geographically, it waw perfect to go out or the take a walk. We want to say a special mention for Catherina at the breakfast restaurant. She was so kind and professional.

Absolute 5 Star experience!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 weeks ago

What an amazing experience at this Katikies resort. We stayed 3 days and found every detail attended to. The staff - from Michael picking up our bags from the taxi to the front desk staff and then Eva, our concierge - warm attentive and accepting of our one or two words of Greek. The room was spacious, bed comfortable and provided us with water, welcome snacks (and turn down water and chocolate), safe, fabulous open shower with “rain head”, robes, slippers. We spent an afternoon around the rooftop pool. Fabulous views, covered and uncovered lounges, lifeguard to feel safe if you have kids. Ate a lunch there. Every food presentation was artful and the food quality exceptional. Free breakfast was abundant, beautifully presented. We each got massages at the spa (quite nice and reasonable), then topped our experience with a dinner at the hotel restaurant Selene. Wow! Michelin quality in every way. Each course, wine, dessert. Pricey, but a once in a lifetime experience. The most outstanding part of this stay was the staff. They are clearly trained to be of service but they went beyond. It felt truly helpful, genuine. We would stay here again. Note that we preferred Fira (Thira) to the more “elegant” Oia. Lots of walking, lots of steps up and down. Not always easy. While most of the shops in the “shopping center” were touristy, a few had beautiful artisan works.
