This is an absolute gem for travellers to Santorini. It’s a unique location between the crater rim and sea in the south - a breath of fresh air away from the busy tourist spots. Even better, you don’t need a 5 star budget to experience the best of Santorini by making this your base. The rooms are modern, clean and comfortable. There is a small fridge in the room but no coffee/tea but you can get these from reception breakfast area. The sparkling pool and surrounding views of the sea and vineyards are a stunning outlook, with lots of places to sit and relax. Akrotiri and the southern beaches are down the road The warmth and hospitality of Zeta and other staff made it extra special. We had a car but there’s a car rental place right nearby, or the local bus service goes past. The sunsets are definitely a unique opportunity to get a fresh view of the whole caldera. We loved staying here. Our new favourite area of Santorini.

The staff were wonderfully friendly and helpful during our stay. They suggested we rent an ATV to get around the island and it was a really fun way to explore. My only concern was the floor drain in the bathroom kept backing up water into our room. But this was cleaned up everyday and we only noticed it in the mornings. Overall a great place for the price

Location
If you want to be near other hotels and restaurants, this is not the hotel for you. The staff was helpful once we arrived. But speaking to them on the phone prior to was a nightmare. Hotels.com site says there is free pickup from airport, 24 hours. When we arrived, they said it was not available that day. When we arrived, the lady at the front desk argued w/ me that THEIR site says there is a charge and falst advertisement of the free shuttle was not their fault. As a traveler, how would anyone know that? If that was the case, how would we know ANYTHING was correct? Once we cleared up the matter, she was very helpful w/ suggestions for restaurants, etc. But again, this is NOT near anything. You will have to take a bus or rent an ATV. The room was spacious and clean. Very minimal.

Hotel is little far from Fira (Capital)
We stayed in house of this villa. Bed was not comfortable at all to sleep. We did not have warm/hot water and when we notified staff they were not receptive and did not do anything about it. Breakfast did not have many choices for vegetarian. I would not stay here again for the money we had to spent per night.

Good evening! Thank you for the feedback! Mrs Star Hope you are fine!We told you many times that there was a problem with the system those days, Solar water heating system was working perfect. Sorry for this, and for the breakfast but there are fruits, tomatoes, sandwitches with cheese ony for you. By the way this is an issue to discuss with the owners and the staff and we will check again the menu for improvement! Fira is really near to us, Santorini is so small. only 20 minutes with the bus or 15 minutes with a car in traffic! Thanks again for your preference to our hotel. Kind regards! VILLA ILIOVASILEMA

Worst hotel experience of my life
The owner is super rude. He was verbally abusive. And once I decided to leave the hotel, although I've had paid the full amount, there were 3 people blocking my car so I couldn't leave. I've never been treated that way in a hotel before. I don't recommend to go there. On top of that, the location and the facilities are less than average.

Not worth the price
Disappointing! No hot water on the first day, the same poor breakfast choice everyday, the room wasn't cleaned properly, wifi wasn't always working. If on foot the hotel is far from any decent beach therefore you have no choice but to hire a scooter, or a quad, to get around the island. Akrotiri which is the closest village is far too quite for a holiday destination, if i was going back to Santorini i would choose a different location such as Perissa, Kamari, Fira or Oia.

Nice hotel but not great location
The hotel itself was really nice - lovely room, recently redecorated, good size, very clean - and the family who run it are lovely, so friendly, helpful and would do anything to make your stay better. However, the location of the hotel isn't great - it's a 20 minute walk along a main road to the nearest village. Also note that there is no swimming pool, and the nearest beach is a bus ride away. A real shame, as a better location and / or a pool would have made a real difference.

Very bad experience
Very bad location since it is away from the city. The view is nice but the room feels empty. The room had some lizards inside the bedroom and when we complained about it they said it is a good luck and they did not apologize or offer to remove it. We had to check out after the first night and they charged us for 50% of the booked stay. I do not recommend at all.

La nostra stanza non rispecchiava assolutamente le stanze visibile in foto. Dare un giudizio mediocre alla pulizia è un eufemismo; appena entrati, abbiamo notato che la stanza era stata pulita con sufficienza; sporcizia ovunque, capelli e sopracciglia sui “muretti” bianchi presenti all’interno della stanza; lenzuolo con due chiazze gialle; asciugamani ingrigiti che graffiavano. Esterno;”: lettini a bordo piscina lerci, acqua sporca. Davvero non all’altezza del prezzo pagato, darei al max 2stelle. Non consiglio

Lo único bueno era el cuarto que estaba decente. El hotel es horrible, el lugar donde está ubicado es horrible. No vuelvo y no lo recomiendo. Si vas a Santorini hay que quedarse en Fira, en Oía o en Kamari.

After one week in Santorini, we're sad we didn't book this amazing hotel earlier! The room was just like the pictures, super clean and beautiful, the bed was so comfortable and the AC kept us cool all night, without making a lot of noises. It's a perfect place for couples, 10 mins with car and you will find yourself at the Akrotiri Lighthouse and catching the most beautiful sunset. The breakfast was basic. Overall, worth every penny! We are definitely going back.

Superbe vue, à l'écart du tourisme de masse
Un établissement familial, dont les chambres ont été récemment rénovées, avec une vue mer des 2 cotés de Santorin. Location de quad, sur place. Raphael, assure l'accueil, le relationnel, les conseils, et tout cela en français si besoin. Petit déjeuner buffet où Cathy met la main à la pâte dès le matin pour nous réaliser elle-même des petits feuilletés au fromage et/ou aux epinards. Beaucoup de gentillesse de la part du personnel. Une bouteille d'eau dans le frigo, et une bouilloire dans la chambre seraient un plus. La connexion internet est parfois légère ou aléatoire, mais il est toujours possible de se rapprocher de la salle du petit déj pour pouvoir se connecter.

연인보다는 사색용 호텔이라 생각합니다. ㅎㅎ
타 지역, 타 국가의 비슷한 가격대의 호텔과 비교하면 시설면에서 떨어질 수 있지만, 그럼에도 불구하고 맡은 바 최선을 다하려는 모습이 좋았습니다. 주변 환경처럼 너무 복잡스럽지 않고 여유가 넘치는 호텔이었습니다. 수영장 등의 부대시설은 없지만, 시끄러운 환경에서 벗어나 사색할 때 더욱 좋을 것 같은 호텔입니다.

Santorini in love
Abbiamo soggiornato nella struttura dal 21 al 29 luglio 2016. La cordialità del personale ha reso la vacanza sull'isola ancora più bella! Basti pensare che siamo arrivati nella villa alle 22:40 del 21 e la proprietaria, nonostante l'orario, si è offerta di accompagnarci al ristorante per farci cenare. Ovviamente ha parlato con la proprietaria del ristorante per farci accompagnare di nuovo in albergo una volta finito di mangiare. La struttura è accogliente ed il personale molto gentile e paziente. La stanza in cui abbiamo soggiornato era nuova e molto accogliente. Ogni mattina la signora delle pulizie rassettava e puliva tutto. La colazione comprendeva molto cibi, dai tipici greci ai classici che si trovano comunemente negli alberghi. La posizione è ottima perché si trova vicino alle spiagge e vicino a Thira, la capitale. Lo scooter o il quad sono comunque indispensabili per gli spostamenti; vicino alla struttura c'è anche chi li noleggia. Io la consiglio vivamente anche perché dalle finestre si può godere dei famosi tramonti santoriniani!

Basic but clean hotel
Spent a week in Santorini with my girlfriend, looked over hotels for days before settling. Were concerned about some negative reviews regarding the level of service as well as the rooms (particularly bathrooms), but those proved to be incorrect and out of date. The rooms and bathrooms have been renovated and are in good condition. Especially the bathroom was pretty cool. + average price, santorini seemed to be expensive in terms of accommodation + renovated rooms + Air conditioning + ATV rental at the same place + Pretty easy and fast trip to the beaches (used atv) - Location a bit distant, but ok - Took long time to get hot water in the mornings (faster in the evenings) - ATV rental seemed expensive at about 45eur/day - Breakfast very basic, very little fruit - No pool, but beach is better anyways - a bit of sand gets to the floor of the room from under the front door. - bed was a bit hard, seemed to lack the soft top mattress? all in all, it was ok but now would look elsewhere. The hotel in walking distance from nowhere, but ATV or scooter is needed in santorini no matter where you're staying.
