If you want a quiet, calm and relaxed vacation, this is the place to be. Breakfast, food/room service is very good. The staff are very accommodating, friendly and responsive to our needs/requests. Everywhere is clean and the views to the villas are majestic. My only regret is having to leave…

Wonderful stay with my wife and 2 year old. Property was beautiful and maintained, located outside of busy areas, private villa was nice and staff was super friendly/helpful. Restaurant had good food for all meals, little more pricy compared to places in town. Daily Room service and house keeping was efficient and nice! Had a couple small issues while at our stay but handled swiftly by staff. Private driver supplied by resort was super friendly and took us to wherever you want to go but costs extra (I would get a rental car next time). Never did utilize the spa while on our stay, thought prices were a little steep. Overall, a wonderful stay if you want something private, away from the noise. Thanks Desiterra!

I can’t see enough about hotel staff. They were extremely friendly, helpful, and accommodating. Property owner was extremely friendly. I’m happy to have had my 40th at this location. All food was made to order and customize to each person‘s preference.

A lovely resort. Very helpful staff. Ansu welcomed us and immediately we felt as it was a home away from home. Great breakfasts - special thanks to Sandesh, Sandip and Pemba for their hospitality. Wonderful communal pool and individual pool at the Villa Santorini. Resort is away from the crowds of Fira and Oia but all within touching distance. Best to hire a car - do so at a local car hire in Fira - George from Auto4U (nect to Mcdonalds) was excellent and very reasonable. Highly recommend this resort on this beautiful island

The property is beautiful - lots of space and green areas, which are hard to find in Santorini. Our villa was very comfortable. The staff extremely helpful and friendly. Sandesh and the Nepali team went out of their way to accommodate and serve us. I travel with a service dog. Cooper was warmly welcomed. The hotel restaurant serves delicious food. Thank you for a lovely stay.

I could not highly recommend desiterra. From the villas to the staff, it was definitely one of the best holiday and experiences we’ve had. Including the massages, they are top notch! Staff are friendly and made our stay an enjoyable experience. They were also accommodating since one of our party was vegan. Love how we get to choose from the breakfast menu even though it was included in our package and not your typical buffet breakfast. The scenery was also undeniably beautiful. Seeing the sunrise from our villa was amazing experience. Thank you to the CEO Dmitri for our celebratory wine, thank you to Sandesh for making our meals extra entertaining and none the less, thank you to the two ladies

This place is simply wonderful. So quiet and calm. The villas are just so gorgeous and having your own private pool is just class! Our villa was perfect - we had a small kitchen area which was useful. The bed was so comfortable and we watched the sunrise directly from our bed. It was so romantic. There is a small staircase which leads to a mezzanine and a small balcony— lovely touch. The staff are so very friendly- it was our second visit and they all recognised us. We met the CEO this time who was equally so down to earth and friendly. Everyone just genuinely wants you to have the best time and most wonderful time. I will definitely return!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An absolutely outstanding stay! Desiterra exceeded every expectation. The villas are beautiful, peaceful, and impeccably maintained, with breathtaking views. The staff made us feel genuinely welcome from the moment we arrived and went above and beyond to ensure we had an unforgettable experience. The food was exceptional, the spa was incredibly relaxing, and the entire resort is the perfect place to unwind while still being close to everything Santorini has to offer. We made memories that will last a lifetime and can't wait to come back. Highly recommended!

Beautiful resort with magnificent sea view from our villa. Staff were all friendly and incredibly helpful. We arranged transport with the hotel to and from the port, as well as to Fira. Room was clean with a small kitchenette, large shower, and a terrace with dining table. The private pool was nice and had loungers as well. The complimentary breakfast was nice- theres about a dozen dishes on the menu to choose from. 1 entree per guest plus juice and coffee/tea. My favorite part was this sweet friendly kitty who wandered the resort and even joined us in our villa (hope that was ok). The only negative thing i could possibly say would be that the location is a bit remote- but that could also be a good thing! I didn't mind. The main city center was maybe a 10 minute drive; same for Oia. Definitely not within walking distance of anything though. We were also able to order groceries and takeout through the Wolt app with no problem. I would certainly stay here again if I ever return to Santorini!

We enjoyed our stay and the staff was amazing. Everyone was so helpful and accommodating, and had great suggestions on things to do in the area. Our flight arrived very early and the resort provided transportation and a complementary breakfast while we were waiting for the room to be ready. From the moment we stepped onto the property the staff made us feel comfortable and welcome. We traveled as a family, and the two bedroom villas were nice and spacious – plenty of room for a family of five. This resort is definitely outside of town, so figuring out transportation is a must- which the staff will help with if needed.
