We had very high expectations of Katikies having stayed there in Mykonos. WLH has 5 properties on Santorini, the garden being just one of them, located in Fira. The location was excellent, within walking distance to the square and the head of the Fira-Oia trail. Visilias (sp?)(William) was very helpful and knowledgeable, offering a property tour and suggestions for other destinations in Greece. As our stay was brief, we did not get to know the employees as we had in Mykonos; generally, they were far more formal and standoffish. Breakfast was lovely, and the restaurant was an award winning facility, even earning recognition from Michelin. We cannot vouch for that food or the wine tasting offered, as we did not partake of either. The hotel itself is a converted Monastery, so had a rather dark and quiet atmosphere. Our rooms indicated a “garden view”, but in fact we had no view at all. I suppose the “garden” was the sitting area with a jetted tub (not heated) before entering the actual room. A great property for couples or adult friends, with cash to spare and a taste for the more refined.
