    A microwave could be useful. Rest everything was wonderful.

    Francesco was an excellent host accommodating all our requests from taxi booking to car booking. The villa is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The heated pool is the best feature. Location wise it is a bit far from the main caldera so you would need a car or a 20 min walk every time. But all in all it was luxury in true sense.

    The hosts Francesco and Alessandro, outstanding. Nothing was too much of trouble. Even offered us a lift into town (it's uphill to the town). The villa was spotless, comfortable and roomy. The heated pool perfect . Sunset uninterrupted and away from the crowds! The walk down to Amundi is really nice.

    Highly recommended! Our hosts Alex and Francesco were extremely helpful and welcoming, we could not have asked for better hosts; from arranging airport transfers to advising on and booking local activities for us, and even taking us to the local doctor when our 4 year old was poorly mid-way through the holiday (for this we will be forever grateful), no request was too small. The accommodation was stunning, and only a short walk away from the main town. One of our favourite moments was sharing a cold drink as the sun went down over views of the neighbouring sea. Perfection.

    Nothing really. Steep walk but Oia is hilly! It’s downhill on the way back so all fine! We traveled with 2 teenagers. They had the downstairs 2 sleeping areas and bathroom and we had the upstairs kitchen and bathroom with double bed in that space. Not what we expected but it worked well for us as island hopping and only in Oia for 2 nights.

    Incredibly clean and peaceful, away from busy Oia but walkable. Very cute villa and very generous touches like fruit, milk, bread and so many toiletries. Also, the brothers were so helpful and took pride in their properties.

    I loved the villa. It was clean & comfortable especially the bed. The small private pool was amazing. But the best thing were the hosts, nothing was too much trouble, from advice on where to visit, booking tables at amazing restaurants & even offering lifts into town. Complimentary water & Nespresso coffee capsules, clean towels whenever required, and everything cleaned daily! Can’t wait to visit again

    Nothing not to like, wish we could have stayed longer.

    Our stay at Katharos Villas was amazing. It was perfect for our family of 4 in a great location. 5 minutes walk to fresh seafood restaurants in Ammoudi Bay and 10 minutes walk to town. The villas themselves are comfortable and spacious and very well maintained. The staff, especially Francesco, are so accommodating. You can cool off in the pool or sit on your patio and watch the sunset. We will most certainly be back!

    Santorini was the last leg of our 2 week European vacation. We absolutely loved this stay. The pool villa was quite spacious with all the amenities you can think of. Easy walkable access to the villa, no need to climb any stairs. Plenty of parking spots too. The splash pool was not too small like some of the others in the caldera. My kids loved spending time in the pool. The best part of the stay were the hosts - the Katharos brothers were there to help and assist us with anything we needed. It was like staying with a local greek family who knew the place and were there to guide us. Whether it be ordering breakfast, dinner, picking up anything from the store for us, renting car, booking tour, dropping us to Oia main tourist square! The location of the villas is in Oia, but 15-20 min uphill walk to the town center. I would recommend renting a car for easy to and fro from the town center or the hosts are also willing to provide drop-offs. Please do check with them. Overall an awesome stay that we will remember and cherish for a long time!

    There was nothing we did not like but if we could add anything it would be more privacy between the pools!

    We were so amazed by the kindness and helpfulness of the managers! This was our last stop on our honeymoon trip and we are so happy we decided to stay at the villas. Seriously awesome! This was one place during our vacation where we really felt taken care of and celebrated in a meaningful way. The managers were constantly checking in on us and offering us special assistance that went above and beyond!

    Most of the things were very positive. Only the sea view was on the side of the villa and was not visible from inside of the villa. In October the weather was cool, parlty clowdy and windy. There were no breakfast served, but it was possible to order a breakfast. However ordered breakfast was very small and price/quality ratio was not positive (20 €/pp), so unfortunatley I can not recommend it.

    Location is excellent: peaceful and quiet, but only 10-15 min walk away from busy Oia centre. Francesco and Alessandro, who are part of the owner family, really did their best to be welcoming and helpul including very nice welcome basket with some food and water. The small private pool was warm so it is possible to swim there both during the day and in the evening. It was also plesant to eat breakfast partly in shade on the terrasse in front of the villa. Cleaning lady was very nice and positive always smiling. In October was possible to sea the sunset from the sun beds close to the pool. I can warmly recommend Katharos villas and if we come back to Santorini I would like to stay there again.

    It was our anniversary trip, which had a fantastic start from the beginning thanks to the two brothers at the villa. They prepared a surprise welcome for us to celebrate our anniversary upon arrival. They were so kind and helpful throughout our stay whenever we had questions about tours and restaurants, etc. The private pool was great with a fantastic sunset view everyday, and the location is also excellent. Plus, their free e-scooter was very useful in traveling around Oia. I will definitely stay in the villa when I visit Santorini again.

    Alessandro and Francesco are the two most charming hosts out there. They did such a fantastic job with Katharos Villas. Attention to details in every corner of the house is mind blowing. We loved the heated pool! The sunset view. The bed and pillows very comfortables. And the list will go on and on, but I rather invite you to book and experience it for yourself. Won’t regret it! Thank you so much for everything.

    Downstairs bathroom could have been more luxurious. Although actual rainforest shower was great, the shower really needs a surround & sink needs attention/replacement. Minor in the scheme of things but would benefit in Andromeda villa. More solid beds though I know bed type is a preference.
