Pension Livadaros

A dissapointing stay at this 'Pension': The owner failed to respond to communications regarding arrival times and availability. Transfer to accommodation on arrival, while promised, failed to turn up. We had to pay for a taxi. The owner was unfriendly on our arrival in the morning. We had specified a double bed in the booking, but none were available on arrival or throughout the stay. The claimed facilities were present, but the standard of decor is very poor, seemingly unimproved since the 1970's and the cleanliness was average. The breakfast, while plentiful in volume, was not up to standard. The owner made amends for not picking us up by offering transport to the airport from the port, but we had already acquired a rental vehicle by then, so this was not needed. They did, however, organise a couple of taxis for us.

My friend and I enjoyed our stay at Pension Livadaros. We were picked up from the port by the owner which was great. The hotel itself was nice with views of the sea and beautiful plants all around the property. The hotel is family run and they were all extremely helpful and nice. We chose not to get the breakfast but we still got complimentary frappes that were delicious! Clean room, decent rates which allowed me to have a wonderful time during my stay at Santorini. I would recommend this place to anyone. We also rented a 4 wheeler ATV there that was recommended to us by the owner who got us a really good deal.

I had a great time. They give you a very authentic experience of Greece.

This hotel looks like it might have been a nice place to stay, but we never got to find out. The island of Santorini isn't very big, and the town of Karterados isn't very far from the old city of Thira, but it felt like an eternity, walking through an abandoned town to get to this hotel, only to find it, too, abandoned. The pool wasn't filled with water, but with trash, and although no one was there (we waited for 45 minutes for someone to show up), the front door was unlocked and the back door was just wide open. The worst part is that this is probably a nice place to stay during the busy season, and I hate to write such harsh words about it, but maybe they should just be closed in the off-season. Or, at the very least, be there when their only paying customers arrive.

The house owner pick me from the harbour at 140am in early morning, really appreciate that. She also provide transfer back to harbour when I check out. The villa location is within walking distance to Fira, definitely a great location and worth the money paid. Room are well decorated and nice environment. The owner is so helpful can even help me to rent a scooter from the nearby agency. I will definitely stay with Villa Livadaros if I am going back to Santorini.
