    Firostefani is a fantastic location near so much yet not in the busyness of Fira. The view from our room was perfect for enjoying the Caldera and the friendly staff do all they can to assist with whatever you need. Very clean, well appointed and excellent breakfast on a sweet patio.

    Our shower head broke and it wasn’t able to be replaced til the next day. Not the end of the world but a little inconvenient

    Breakfast was great! Location was great! We had a late flight and we were able to use a shower after we check out which was amazing.

    Loved the whole experience, and I can't complain about anything!

    Villa Ilias was amazing. Our room was lovely and had the most fantastic view of the volcano and sunset. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Nikoleta and Niko at the front desk were polite and always willing to help us with any questions we had, and George at the pool bar made us some delicious pre sunset cocktails to set the mood!

    The pool area is small so do bear this in mind, the pool is more for a quick dip than swim. With 13 rooms and 6 sun loungers it can be a tight squeeze.

    Fantastic location and staff. The hotel is 10 minutes on the walking path to Fira, an abundance of restaurants and shops all a few minutes away. The staff were wonderful (especially John at the front desk), everyone was helpful and friendly, they helped us organize taxis and day trips. Also the bar tender at the pool - so lovely! Always greeted us with a smile and made delicious and reasonably priced cocktails. The room was a good size, with all amenities needed - fridge, AC, hair dryer etc.

    Not too much. The walk to Fira was a little far but pleasant never the less.

    The view from the room was exceptional with sea views for days and a pool view. The included breakfast was very giving, and generous. The staff were friendly and gave me great advise about what to do and where to go.

    This hotel is located conveniently in a quite area of Firostefani, just a few minutes walk from Fira. It has a beautiful view and a (small) pool with bar to enjoy the sunset. Our room was nice and clean and with a beautiful view over Fira. We really appreciated the staff, which was quite helpful. Good breakfast

    We were here for 4 nights and can’t recommend it enough. We stayed in room 6 and the view from our private balcony was spectacular. The room has easy access to the pool and was ideal for catching the sunset each night. The pool bar was also brilliant and the cocktails were excellent. The location was ideal, close to restaurants and shops but quiet enough to feel relaxed. Highly recommend!!

    The public bus we got for going to Fira wasn't on time (that's nothing to do with the hotel though).

    The view from this hotel gives you a stunning view of the caldera. You also have a cool swimming pool and bar in the compound. Room flooring has a nice style of tiles that gives you a good feeling, recommend walking barefoot inside the room. Hotel is located in Firostefani, close to the square. They also have a nice breakfast in the morning to charge you up for the day. Check in was smooth and front desk is very friendly. It's only a short walk to the Three Bells of Fira and beautiful Catholic Church of St. John the Baptist. Walking is recommended to the nearby places. Good options to choose for food.

    I travelled to Villa Ilias for a short holiday in Santorini with my partner, and we absolutely loved everything about it! It is definitely one of the nicest hotels we have ever stayed in. The staff is really kind and welcoming, and they will go above and beyond to make you feel at home. The hotel is stunning, situated in a fab location in Fira, views are absolutely incredible and the breakfast is so, so good! Also, the swimming pool is gorgeous and the pool bar is a great bonus (plus they make the BEST cocktails there)! Can't wait to be back.
