The AC was not working properly, it was mostly like a ventilator.

The hotel was clean and comfortable. Good and kind staff. They were always available.

This was a lovely family run small hotel who could not do enough for their guests. Its a hidden gem. Would highly recommend.

Awesome and super helpful hosts who saved my flight back home (I left my purse at the apartment!). They recommended and organised a lot of additional attractions in Santorini for us. Perfect localization. Spacious and nice apartment with beautiful sea view when open the door! Swimming pool is also a great convenience.

All good

Lovely location, lovely family run, car/quad hire right next door. 30m from Thira and Oia. My opinion if you want to come to Santorini’s stay here, thira and oia are to busy for me this was great. The maid was also lovely if you stay make sure you tip! And visit panorama restaurant best sunset view 20m walk from this hotel. Can’t fault it. Emi, her family and cece are lovely! Will defo stay here again.

We very much enjoyed our stay here. We arrived super late (thanks Sky Express) and they checked us in no problem. The rooms were comfortable and clean, and all the facilities worked well. The bathrooms were clean and functional. Breakfast was excellent, lots of good food options. Location was a bit far from things, but that also meant there wasn't much traffic.

Nothing about the Villa. Just that Akrotiri is far from Fira which is the centre so you would need a car if you want to explore different places in Santorini.

Villa Galinia is like home away from home. It's Serene, close to the bus station and has the feel you require for you holiday. The hot tub in the room stands out for me. A family run business which even makes it feel like home as they all work together to make your stay enjoyable. Notable mention is Emi who was super helpful, providing advise for different things on the island and also helped us get our tour rescheduled to a different day when we missed the timeslot allocated. Overall will recommend.

Hard to be critical. We got what we expected plus a very friendly service.

Nice, welcoming, family run hotel. Very user friendly and helpful with taxis etc. Located quite high to give great views. 10 -15 min walk into village. Breakfast was a good buffet. Eggs cooked to order if required. Nice outdoor shaded setting for eating. Didn't dine but dining was only 20 - 22 hours and there was no menu displayed. Recommended to avoid the crowds and bustle of Fira.

Loud water noise above the room at night which eventually stopped after an hour.

Very clean property with excellent breakfast and very friendly helpful family staff. There are beautiful views from the property and a lovely swimming pool with sun loungers. 10-minute walk into the very traditional village. Our flight wasn't until night time and Emi kindly let us store our luggage there during the day and arranged an airport transfer.

Nothing, we were happy with everything.

Booked the Villa Galinia following reviews from others, I must say it was the best decision I made. The service and hospitality from Emi, her Mum and Dad was second to none. This is a family run Villa and we felt like it was home away from home. We stayed for 4 nights, it was so peaceful and quiet not busy at all. When we arrived me and my husband were so nervous, we didn't know what to expect but we received a warm greeting by Emi who took all our nerves away. Everything was explained to us clearly, all questions answered. We arrived around 9:45pm and the Mum still cooked us a delicious meal. The room met our expectations and matched the pictures online, we initially booked the room with jacuzzi, spent one night there and Emi so kindly upgraded us to the room with the hot tub! The views are breath taking over the Caldera view. The cleaner lady is lovely, she comes in the morning and cleans the Villa and rooms to a high standard. Our stay included breakfast, a nice selection is on display and the Mum's fried eggs are amazing! Someone else commented on this in the reviews as well so thank you for this! Would we come here again? Within a heart beat. This was our first holiday away without the children, so thank you Emi and your beautiful family for making our stay so lovely and one to remember.

You need to catch the buses to go places, which are cheap and run frequently, so it’s not a big deal, but can make it a little more difficult to get to some locations (e.g. Parissa Beach).

The villa was run by Emi and her delightful family, who made the stay a real pleasure. The location is at the more peaceful end of the island, which is nice if you want to avoid the crowds. The accommodation was simple but well laid out and supplied everything we needed. The restaurant put on a lovely breakfast and dinners were excellent as well, and reasonably priced. The pool was great for cooling off and we enjoyed Caldera beach nearby, although it was a hike down and up.

nothing I can think of.

The room and property were as advertised. The establishment is mostly family operated. They're very warm and helpful people and make you feel at home. Breakfast was very good as well. They open the restaurant for dinner from 7 to 10 pm but we didn't have the chance to give it a try; we'd always come back late. The ride from Fira is 20-25 min by car depending on the time of the day. We chose this location because it's away from the noise and crowds of Fira and Oia. We had a view of the caldera from our balcony. Free parking. Would definitely stay again at this property.
