This hotel was top-notch! We had a family trip planned for 8 people and stayed for 4 nights. When we arrived there was a big hiccup due to Expedia's platform, and the owner, Dimitris, was very understanding and made sure we got it worked out before he did anything, like have to charge us extra.
It's tucked away from the overly tourist-filled spots like Fira and Oia. Exactly what the doctor ordered if you're looking for a quiet place to come back home to in Santorini.
With that said, the rooms with private pools are spectacular, it feels like home. We had the best time having Aval as our homebase while exploring Santorini and other islands.
Along with that, Dimitris helped us make reservations and have seats at restaurants that made unforgettable moments for our family -- everyone with a view.
Even still, the food at Aval is delicious and feels homemade.
I can't say enough good things about Aval and I can't wait to return to stay and see the folks there again.
