The Acroterra Rosa is a beautiful hotel in a perfect location. It located on the island away from the busy crowded areas where the cruise ships drop off. The rooms are very clean and the staff does everything to make you visit perfect.
They have a restaurant and bar that has a spectacular view across the pool and over the ocean. They have a great chef prepared breakfast that was included and we had lunch and dinner there on different occasions (dependingon the adventureof the day) . I think the location is important because it is hard to relax in the busy city areas.... they are fun to visit and shop, eat etc... but I prefer a quiet as a home base for relaxation. You will need transportation to visit all the other places on the island but, it is very easy as the hotel will arrange car rental drop off and any transportation you need such as to and from the airport. We rented a small car but, ATVs and scooters are available. I would recommend a small car because the streets are tight and free parking will be crowded. We were always able to find parking but, it is a busy place. I would recommend the free parking and a small walk into the city. There are multiple locations you will need to see on the island... Oia, Fira, beaches etc... I am happy we found this gem by accident and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a higher level experience. The place is beautiful, the view is outstanding, the location is perfect and the service we received was world class.
