Every now and then a four-star earns its place on a shortlist by simply doing the basics very well, Notos Therme and Spa by Mr and Mrs White, in Santorini, is one of those. The setting is part of the appeal, barely a stroll from the centre of Santorini, and the location score sits in strong territory because of it. Inside, the rooms are well-appointed, and guests pick out an in-house restaurant, a small spa and reliable wi-fi as the small things that add up over a stay. There's a particular atmosphere to the place, neither overdesigned nor neglected. With around 510 reviews on the books and a solid average, the reception from guests does most of the talking here. Reputation has held up across enough stays to mean something. Pricing has been sitting near €153 a night and the value score puts it in a fair-value bracket compared with similar properties. The honest read on Notos Therme and Spa by Mr and Mrs White is that it deserves a side-by-side look against the bigger Santorini names rather than a headline of its own.
