On the Cliff

We visited Fira to celebrate my daughters 18th birthday. We were in room 6. View was breathtaking and our outdoor space was not overlooked from above. There was really not that many steps to get down to our room from street-level (I have just returned from a trip to Cinque Terre - steps in Fira are nothing compared to those in Cinque Terre!!!!). Upon arrival and leaving, Angel (employee) so kindly dealt with our luggage. Our taxi service from the airport (which we arranged ourselves) contacted On The Cliff to state when we would arrive in the town (meeting point near Mc Donald’s) so we were met by Angel, who then (God bless him) hauled our suitcases to the appartment, which was just 2 minutes walk away - so central. The included breakfast in the restaurant on street level, just above the rooms was absolutely delicious…and the view?…well it is just stunning!!!! Simona was so sweet, she brought a bottle of local wine to our room on my daughters birthday morning. She is such an energetic, smily host. And our cleaner (didn’t get her name) does an amazing job, every day we came back to a spotless, organised room.

Amazing view from the rooms. Hot tubs outside each room. Delicious food. Host was very accommodating with my delayed arrival and

We had a great time at the hotel. The staff was very helpful, Simona is the chief who was always at the end of the phone. She booked us the airport taxis and a sunset cruise. The hotel has two levels, with some narrow stairs and the janitor helped us with the packages. Because this hotel is in the caldera, the cars can't go directly to the door, but the guy helped us to bring all the packages from the nearest drop off point to the hotel and vice versa, and on our last day he waited for the taxi with us to make sure we've got the right one. The view is amazing. Location is also great in the center. The main bus station is only 4-5min walk. We had a private heated jacuzzi that they cleaned every morning. The cleaning lady also came every morning, she put clean towels daily. The breakfast was in the restaurant on the highest floor, food was the same every day (omelette, bread, salad, charcuterie, fruits with greek yogurt and juice, filter coffee) but delicious. They asked about any food allergy, the waiter brought the bread and everything else separately and he remembered it every morning. We've got a bottle of wine as a gift. The wifi worked decent. When we had some trouble with the kettle they fixed it immediately.

Simona, the manager, was nothing short of phenomenal! She went well out of her way to make sure we were taken care of even if she was gone for the day or we were gone before she got to work in the morning, and she set up a catamaran tour for us. The views and location were absolutely perfect - a little off the main streets, but so close to everything. The rooms and bathrooms are a very generous size and very clean. Reasonably priced for the area compared to other places I looked into. There are only 8 rooms, I think, so they are able to provide great attention to their guests. The included breakfast was fantastic! It came on a platter for 2 and included meat, cheese, eggs, salad, fruit, and yogurt. The perfect way to start your day!

The location and views were amazing. The hot tub and outside space was the huge draw for booking this hotel. The views of the caldera at sunset and the morning breakfast above the room was amazing with the views and breeze coming through the windows. The breakfast was the highlight of the morning for us. Delicious and lovely.
