We had to stay an additional day in Santorini and booked this hotel last minite. The communication was excellent and they arranged transportation to the port for us early in the morning and made us sandwiches to take on the trip . Much friendlier and hospitable than the resort we stayed when we arrived in Naxos.

Magical stay at Galini Jr. Villa

We stayed in the jr. villa and absolutely loved it. It was priced so reasonably for how spacious it was. It had a bedroom, closet, bathroom, living room, kitchen and a private rooftop deck with sun chairs and a hot tub. The service was amazing and the location was great!

Beautiful cozy hotel, great location and service

Very friendly and helpful staff. Great location with beautiful 180 " views of Caldera, right in middle of Caldera, near Fira. Nice restaurant on top with good choices and very good breakfast and service. Few other real nice restaurants just few steps away. We had a room with private balcony which was very comfortable with beautiful views. My only suggestion is to update the bathroom and shower, otherwise very comfy.

I stayed a couple nights in their Premier Room. I was greeted by Dennis, who checked me in and was kind enough to give me a brief overview of Santorini, and how to get around. The room was small, yet cozy and clean. Great view of the Caldera and sunset. The included breakfast in the Galini cafe above was also delicious! Would def recommend if looking for something semi luxurious, without the higher price that comes with amenities like an Infinity Pool/hot tub.

Amazing space and service!

Our stay was amazing. We were in the family villa. On arrival, you are not able to drive too close to the unit, the final portion is down a few minutes of steps, but the gentleman who delivered our luggage was amazing and handled it with ease. Further he delivered breakfast to our unit each morning exactly as planned and orderred. The unit was amazing, the hot tub exactly as shown with a ridiculous view of the caldera.The arched ceiling in the unit and cave like rooms and bathroom were special. Would recommend to anyone. The only issue was our hot water did not work on the forst night, but when notified, the same gentleman who delivered our bags, actually ran to our unit and had it working in just minutes. I have no idea why this is shown as a 2 star hotel, it is a 5 star treatment and facility without a doubt. Book it with ease.

The views are by far the best part of this hotel. The staff was very nice and welcoming. Their breakfast is good and the waitresses very kind and professional. It was a pleasure having breakfast there every morning. The food was good, as were the beverages; freshly squeezed orange juice every day, coffee, and tea. The rooms were nice, but do need a little sprucing up. There was a musty odor that apparently was attributed to humidity in the room, and they had a dehumidifier running. I do not believe that is sufficient. Rooms need to be freshly painted, and this issue should be corrected. Other than that they provide bottled water every day of your stay. Nice place that can be made so much better if the issues I just mentioned are addressed. The views from the balconies are breathtaking without a doubt.

The hotel and staff (Miriam) and the owner are truly amazing people. They contacted me several times prior to arrival. Upon arrival they had our room ready for us at 9:30 AM. I asked for a cappuccino and it was made for us. They gave us each a sheet to choose what we would like for breakfast the next day…Everyday was a made to order personal breakfast made by the owner. She is an excellent chef. Miriam the help staff also asked us everyday if we would like anything, on our beach day, and catamaran tour she gave us extra beach towels. Also her recommendations for restaurants were very good. On our last day they left us nice little going away presents which was a complete surprise. A truly genuine and personal touch. I have been to many places in my life and countless hotels, but this hotel and the two of you I will never forget, you both are priceless!!

Just returned home from the most enjoyable and relaxing stay at Hotel Galini's Junior Villa. From check-in to check-out our stay was fabulous!! Mariami and Lookman took such good care of us!! Our breakfast each morning was delivered on time and contained an abundance of food. The Villa was cleaned top to bottom everyday at the time we requested and the view of the Caldera from both the terrace and the private hot tub area was spectacular!!! We were so happy that we stayed in Firostefani and not Fira. We walked to Fira everyday but enjoyed the more peaceful location of Firostefani which is away from the hustle and bustle of the cruise ships in Fira. We are typical "hotel" people so choosing a place on Santorini to stay made me quite nervous. In the end, I am so glad that we chose Hotel Galini's Junior Villa because it did not disappoint!! I felt like I had my own little house in Santorini and enjoyed it as if I did. Every convenience needed was inside the villa. I will be recommending that my friends and family stay at the Hotel Galini Junior Villa for their Santorini vacation.
Side angle from balcony trying to get some of Fira and Firostefani in the photo. Straight ahead from balcony is Caldera view and the volcano. Stunning!!
Private hot tub, couch and lounge chairs on the roof

The 2 bedroom family villa is amazing and it’s completely separate from the hotel itself. The villa is spacious and private with incredible views. The breakfast is so good and having it everyday in our private terrace with a caldera views. You don’t need to go anywhere to witness the famous Santorini sunset, you can just chill in your own private terrace or jetted tub. Highly recommend!
