"We spent 6 nights at the Aegean Gem in a Grace Suite with hot tub. The hotel is a few minutes walk from the beach and close to the restaurants and bars. Our room was spotless, very comfortable and spacious - with a terrace (east facing) containing the hot tub and seating. Breakfast was included and always fresh with a good variety of hot and cold food. It is a small hotel run by a couple and their grandson Nikolas, they are all very friendly and helpful especially Nikolas. He was there nearly all the time and was brilliant - anything you want he supplied or told you where to get it. All his recommendations were excellent and came from personal experience - restaurants, bars, beach area's, trips etc. I would trust his advice on anything local. A great holiday and if we return to Santorini we would certainly go back to the Aegean Gem."

"Me and my mum stayed here for a week and we enjoyed every minute of our stay. We arrived quite late and we were greeted by a lovely smiling Nicholas who gave us such a warm welcome. Him and he’s Grandma run the hotel and they make it really special. The place is clean with daily housekeeping and fresh towels, a lovely varied breakfast to choose from everyday. It’s in a brilliant location within a short walking distance to the beach and lots of shops and restaurants. Also a local bus into Fira which is really lovely to explore. Again the hotel grounds are well kept and there’s towels available at the pool to use. We really don’t think there was anything that could have made our stay any better. Nicholas was so accommodating and helpful he recommended restaurants, made bookings, booked us a boat trip, nothing was too much trouble and you can tell he really enjoys he’s job and genuinely cares about hes guests. We loved Santorini and staying at the Aegean gem and would recommend it highly."

"Family-run property, very beautiful, well-maintained, and above all, truly spotless. You can immediately sense the attention and care that the owners dedicate to their guests. A special mention goes to Nikolas, a young man who is truly very gifted at interacting with the public, always helpful and polite. In my opinion, with time and experience, he will become very capable indeed. If I have to find a small flaw, it concerns breakfast: the products are very good, but it would be nice to find something different every now and then, so as to have a bit more variety. Overall, however, it was a very positive experience and I definitely recommend this property."
