Santorini Island, Greece Hotel Rooms at the Independent

Starvos villas is owned by a family, they are always there to help you and make your stay as comfortable as possible. Starvos treated us like family! The hotel is very nice and spacious. I can't wait to go back!

So our booking via Expedia had a technical error which meant our booking was lost (without our knowledge). Upon arrival the love consierge alerted us of this issue and had already booked (and paid for) a luxury suite at villa renos for two nights while the third night we could stay at Aroma Suites. Both suites were just gorgeous. I highly recommend this hotel and would like to thank the man (sorry I forgot your name) for looking after us so very well.

Beautiful, family run hotel in Santorini. The room was our favorite of all our hotels, clean and charming. Breakfast was delicious. The pool was wonderful and had a gorgeous view. It was well located so we could walk to everywhere we needed to go. The service was great and everyone was so friendly. They even offered free ferry and airport shuttle. I would certainly stay at the Dream Island Hotel again!

Had a wonderful stay at the hotel. I travelled alone and really needed a chill out holiday. This I was able to do at this Hotel I had my own outdoor space and very spacious rooms. Staff were very caring and understanding of my needs very friendly. I would definately book this hotel again.

amazing hospitality, great view, big spacious apartments with all the comforts.

Very courteous staff came to meet us at the taxi, and took us to our Suite. The Suite architecture is unique, shaped like a cave on the edge of Santorini Caldera. The view is fantastic. Breakfast was served on our patio, overlooking the beautiful ocean view. Downton Fira is about 20 minutes walk.

itself was beautifully maintained. sed very late (a week before traveling) that I should have booked a room with twin beds for my friend and myself. I had actually booked a double with 2 sofa beds. After writing a quick email to the hotel asking if they had a twin room they said they would upgrade us to a larger room if it was available. When we arrived wewe had been upgraded to a luwith private Jacuzzi. Simply stunning! The hotel staff were extremely helpful, friendly and polite and the hotel itself was beautifully maintained. Lovely pool which is ideal for children and adults, good breakfast with attentive staff who will go out of their way to make you alternative dishes if possible. Facilities to shower and change after checking out if you flight is still a few hours away.

We had 5 wonderful nights here. Very peaceful. We found the staff were keen and very helpful. The pool was quite cool in late season but the terrace around it is delightful. It has more of an edge than some infinity pools. We looked into several hotels around Fira and didn't see anything else that came close to Homeric Poems.

We arrived at Thira airport in the morning and a member of staff from the hotel was there to meet us as they had arranged the transfer for us (you have to pay extra for this but it is a lot cheaper than a taxi). Once we arrived at the hotel we were told that they had a surprise for us and that our room had been upgraded to a junior suite (rather than a superior double). Our room was clean, nicely decorated, lovely bathroom and we had a Jacuzzi on our balcony! Santorini was very warm the week we were there so we didn't actually visit much of the island apart from on the penultimate day as it was too hot to do anything. However, we were more than happy to lie beside the pools in the hotels on the luxury beds and have a quick dip in the pool. Although the hotel is right next to a busy road the huge white wall that separates you from the road makes you feel as though you are in the middle of nowhere! We walked down to the beach on a daily basis (less than 5 min walk) and had dinner as a different restaurant every evening but we decided that we'd much rather spend most of our days at the hotel by the pool than at the beach which is a black volcanic beach! On the penultimate day we went on a boat trip which was also upgraded. Even though we were not supposed to end in oia they agreed to drive us there and back for no extra charge. Staff were friendly and helpful, hotel was beautiful, food was good - a fantastic holiday and we would definitely go again!

My wife and I stayed here in September 2014 for 5 nights. It is a boutique hotel with great facilities and friendly staff. The view of the caldera from all part of the hotel was magnificent. We requested several extra services such as restaurant booking, taxi and car hires from the hotel and they were all arranged to perfection. It is a lovely and quiet hotel, nested on the cliff side, far enough from the hustle and bustle of the main town centre of Oia, but still close enough to take a slow walk to town in 10 min. Definitely a great choice of accommodation if you are visiting Santorini.
