La posizione, l’accoglienza, la colazione. La struttura confortevole, caratteristica del luogo, appartata e silenziosa.
E’ stato tutto positivo.

Arriving at Emmantina is like arriving home after days in the desseet. Emmanuel receives you at the door and invite you to their terrace meanwhile Tina brings you a fresh homemade lemonade. He takes a map and with an amazing calm gives you the perspective of the island (where to go, where not to, which are the best places and less crowded spot to contemplate the best sunset view in the Aegean). He told us a very true thing: every spot in the west side of the island is a good place to see the sunset!! He explained to us the origins and history of the island... Simply incredible the reception!! As incredible the kindess of this marriage. Loved them!! Changing the subject and talking about the room. It had a history itself!! Since it was and old oven, part of the house!! Incredible with its cave-like shape. As it has a round shape, the sound travelled in a different way so it was very strange to talk and listen to your partner, you thought ir was to your side but it wasn't!! Unbelivable! Another highlight was the homemade jams and pastries and pies by Tina. Excellent from top to toe.
The roof-top terrace also amazing!
The first night was too hot and we didn't realize that we had a fan to switch on 😅. So we didn't have much of a rest.

Cool to stay in traditional style accommodation - owners explained the room I used was previously where bread was baked. Location was great - Only 10-15 mins down the hill to resturants, supermarkets and bus stops to beaches and Fira.
Owners were very friendly, gave out a map and lots of advice, we're happy to pick me up from the airport and drop me off at the the top of the ancient Thera hill (for a fee).
Breakfast was delicious, prepared fresh and plenty of it was provided.
Very friendly cats were also cute - one jumped on my lap while I was checking in.
It was quite noisey - I heard other guests talking and arriving/leaving early morning and late at night.
There wasn't any air-conditioning but a fan was provided however the windows needed to be open for it to be affective. And as the windows opened out into the shared court yard and where other guests had breakfast this felt like I lost some privacy.

The hosts made greeted us with home made lemonade and made a beautiful breakfast spread for us in the morning, they were very lovely and answered any question we had
A bit far away from the busy areas, Fira and such, if you can work out the bus system then it’s not so bad but a taxi will cost you your first born

We really appreciated the lovely space, and Dina is spectacular. A lot of information, directions, tips from the locals, sunrise view from the rooftop, and omg, the breakfast spread! Plus, Simba the Cat took a real liking to us 😀

my wife and I had a fantastic time at Emmantina. Emmanuel and his wife Ntina were very good hosts, Emmanuel had all kinds of good tips for us and told us a lot about the history of the island of Santorini. his wife provided a fantastic breakfast, something different every morning, a real surprise! we also met their daughter Liberty with her children, she works for her parents during the summer. Emanuel used to come to Santorini with his parents from Athens by boat and donkeys as a child and built their existence here. they made the whole building themselves. It is very nicely decorated with many personal items. The apartment we had was not really big but they also have bigger and more comfortable apartments. All very cozy with a personal touch!
Everything was ok, Messaria, the little village, is situated 10 minutes distance from Fira.

Very nice host family, great daily other homemade breakfast. Clean.
The master of the house helps to orientate in all aspects of the stay, ranging from the communication system, interesting places to visit to the prices.
The island is very interesting and at the same extremely polluted. I don't think it has any waste disposal facility except for a huge landfill near the town of Fira.

Thank you so much Dina and Manoli for the warm and kind welcoming. Thank you for been always so friendly. We loved your cat 🐱 “ziba”. Good luck and beautiful life for you!

The rooftop terrace is brilliant! Specially to enjoy the sunrise.
The hosts are very polite and welcoming.
The architecture/style of Emmantina houses has the personal imprint from the owners, who take care of every detail to remind us that we are in Santorini.
Breakfast is different every day and they will adapt it to your taste/necessities.

Everything about this hotel was perfect - the room was clean and comfortable, and the hosts Dina and Manolis were exceptional. They did absolutely everything I could have asked of them, and they were very warm and friendly and attentive. Because of them, this is one of the best hotels I've ever stayed in as they made it feel like a home rather than a hotel. Breakfast every morning too was home made and really filling, and set me up just right for the day ahead. In short, I wholeheartedly recommend Emmantina to anyone looking to stay in Santorini.
There was absolutely nothing wrong with this hotel. The alleyway outside could be slightly noisy with motorbikes and quad bikes, but this is entirely out of the control of the hotel. The hotel was overall exactly what I was looking for and I was really impressed.

The hosts were extremely friendly and helpful. They provided us with useful and local information and made the guests feel part of the family. Brilliant homemade breakfast! I wasn't a breakfast person but the breakfast the hosts offered was impossible to say no to. The room was lovely, comfy and clean, and it had everything you might need. Daily housekeeping provided. Plenty of street parking places nearby.
I liked everything - We enjoyed every minute of staying there.

I wholeheartedly recommend staying in Emmantina it is a special, magical place - it is a place with a soul.
Tina and Manolis the owners suffered, wonderful people, always helpful, smiling and friendly.
If you want to get to know real Greece that smells like pancakes and other delicacies prepared for breakfast in the morning - choose Emmantina.
Emmantina is a unique place where we felt at home, always looked after by the owners.
and the roof .....
oh this roof ....
the best place to sunbathe and watch the magical sunrises
Emmantina is a place that will remain in our hearts forever ...

Breakfast were really good. Everyday something a bit different prepared by Tina but all delicious.
Also her husband Manolis was really helpful with his tips. Also their recommendation of restaurant in Messaria was good. Authentic, teasty and affordable food for Santorini.
Room was really nice and comfortable and had everyting we needed and the space in front of it ith table for breakfast was also great. To make if even nicer there was a way to watch sunrise from the roof ( despite there was renovation on a roof going on after the season). I believe during full summer season this roof deck with sun chairs and so on must be nice addition as well.
We really enjoyed our time there.
Difficult to find something ;) Only tiny downside is that there is some walk to the place from center of messaria and bus stop. So when you are without ATV or car and you spent whole day walking it adds a bit of extra walking at the end ;)
But on the other hand you see part of Santorini where real people live and not just turistic place so we enjoyed location overall.

You get to stay in a lovely renovated building in the heart of the island. Breakfast was fantastic and freshly prepared every day. Plus, the owners are some of the nicest people you will meet and can give you all the information you need about the island, its best spots and places.

Incredible place to stay! Friendly and helpful family that made us feel like at home, the place is super clean and charming. That was a perfect and authentic experience of Greek culture and hospitality. We felt sad to leave!

Everything at Emmantina was just perfect! The rooms were very clean and comfortable, the home-made Greek breakfast was amazing and the location of the hotel is calm, but central to everything. The family was more than hospitable and always ready to help. We (interracial couple) felt very welcome from the very first day and would definitely go there again. Thank you so much for making our holidays even more special!

Emmantina's householders have received us wonderfully in their so lovely cave houses and have been very obliging. They have been very helpful in finding a wonderful cruise in the caldeira and in driving us to a very early ferry although it was on Sunday.
We had a very good rest in this quiet and authentic place.
On May bus schedules were reduced on all the island because of Covid. It should be better now.

The host were so nice and helpful all the time ! And the rooftop was just amazing! A typical troglodyte house !
