The hotel is a ways away from the other busier beaches; it feels a bit disconnected and only a short strip of restaurant/bar options that all close REALLY early. The hotel manager, Sofia, was completely lovely. She's the best aspect of this property, and she was willing to move us after cockroaches were discovered in the room. She also was realistic about the fact that this is absolutely a *beach* house, not anything similar to the hotels in, say, Oia or on the Caldera side. We wished we had not spent three nights at Perivolas and had, instead, gone to the other side of the island. The black beach was interesting, and -- granted -- things are relatively close on Santorini, but you cannot stay at this hotel without a car or other mode of transportation. Finally, I'd recommend springing for the sea view; otherwise, you're view will be of a junky parking lot and/or back of a restaurant.
