This is a traditional Greek hotel, and we chose the cheapest room (basement) so it was pretty small and basic. But we knew that before we travelled, and the room had everything we needed in it for a comfortable week's stay. The owners are friendly and the rooms are cleaned daily to a really high standard. The restaurant wasn't open when we were there as the resort as a whole felt like it was just getting started for the season. There isn't a pool at Ancient Thera Studios but we just went to the beach everyday as many places are happy for you to chill on their loungers as long as you buy a couple of drinks or some food. Tranquilo was our favourite spot on the beach front. The hotel is about a 5 minute walk to the beach front and the main bars/restaurants in Perissa, where there's plenty of choice for food and drinks etc. You're also in a great position to walk up the volcano to the ancient ruins and to the old church in the hillside from Ancient Thera Studios. There are several supermarkets, bakeries, bars etc within 5-10 minutes walk, and you're really close to the public bus stop which takes you to Fira with connections to Oia. The main church is nearby too and it's just as pretty. I'd happily stay here again, and would definitely recommend to anyone who's pretty low maintenance and wants to do their own thing.
