Delfini Hotel - a few questions
 
I've adjusted my budget and am now about to "splurge" for the Delfini Hotel. I'm now trying to understand the difference between staying in a Junior suite in complex A or studio in Complex C. Is one location better than the other?

We are staying 3 nights beginning September 22. My primary concerns are location and access to the swimming pool, if the weather is right. I don't know how awkward it is to walk from Complex A to C if we decide to stay there.

I'm looking for pleasant ambiance & a beautiful view, with the convenience of the pool. I don't need a lot of amenities, but I do like a room that is pleasant to sleep in. I like the idea of the pool so that we can take a dip if it's warm out.

Many thanks for all your help so far. I've posted this separately since I've made the decision on this hotel, although I had been originally deciding between Old Oia houses & Lauda.

Oops, I should've indicated the hotel is in Oia, Santorini.
But if you've gotten to this post, you probably know that, anyway.

There's not much distance between the complexes so walking to and from the pool isn't a hassle, but you should know that Delfini's pool is much smaller than Lauda's. It barely qualifies as a pool. It's more of a plunge. You can't really swim in it.

Not a problem, I'm not concerned about real swimming. A plunge is all I need on a warm day.

I've booked the Junior suite in Complex A - any reason why I should take the studio in Complex C instead?

Thanks,
Paule

Not that I'm aware of.

I've been to Delfini a very long time ago.....
as i see now they have expanded, as back then they only had 4-5 rooms .....
2 things i'd like to mention:
Delfini has an excellent location on the main pedestrian path of Oia, without many stairs...
The owners were extremely friendly !!!!
Seems like an excellent choice Paule !!!
