The staff was amazing! So informative and kind! Anytime we needed anything they were so willing to help, going over and beyond! The facility was cleaned daily and was very accommodating. The location was AMAZING, a great view and right on the hiking trail and road to everything! It was right outside of thira so it was quiet and a short walk to everything. I would stay here again in a heart beat!! If you’re looking for a great place to stay, look no further, this stay was amazing!!

Strategic location. (Can catch sunrise and sunset. Fira is around 10-15 mins stroll from the Villa. Firostefani is within the walking trail to Oia. Firostefani bus stop is 2 mins walk down the road). Great room (Bijou, clean and well natural light lit, has got a safe box, cutlery as well as corkscrew bottle opener, wine glasses etc) Staffs (receptionist, cleaners, cooks all very friendly, helpful, welcoming). Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this Villa to anyone… solo traveller, couples or family. The view of caldera from the pool deck is just awe-aspiring. Enjoying sunset view from here with a glass or two of Santo Wines was one of my highlights!

Well, fist the costumer service is great, always in touch, always taking care of what you need. Second, the view! That’s the place where to be! Amazing sunset from the pool or even you balcony room (if you have one) you will get the best pictures and don’t need to go out of the hotel. Third the room is ok, mine was on the pool level and I was satisfied. Also close to stores and restaurants. The classic blue doom picture is at 7 min walking.

We were blown away by the service that Christina and the rest of the staff provided us during our stay here. Every morning, Christina would sit down with us at breakfast and help us plan our day. We really felt like she was able to help us make the most of our three days on the island. The hotel is also very beautiful! The view from the pool deck is one of the best on the island and we were able to sit there and enjoy the sunset every night while we enjoyed a drink from the pool bar. 100% would recommend to anyone to stay here!
