Villa Ilias

El hotel tiene una maravillosa vista, mucho mejor que los mejores miradores en la isla, los dos Georges son muy amables siempre con buena actitud. Sin duda recomiendo este hotel. Caminando llegas muy cerca a Fira y a Imeroglivi.

Location: this hotel is about a 15-20 min walk to Fira. It is much quieter than Fira with fantastic views and outstanding service. Service: couldn’t have been better. Clean rooms, friendly staff who go out of their way to ensure your stay is comfortable and all needs are met. Breakfast: this was included in our stay and offered many options including : over soft eggs, omelet, bacon, ham, sausage, cheese, salami, toast, jams, honey, yogurt, granola, veggies, feta and pastries. The egg and meat options changed daily. Views: fantastic! We could see the ocean and several islands right from our window and door. The pool was small but perfect for a quick dip. The pool bar was great and offers beer and liquor selections with the friendliest bartender, George, who can concoct any drink of your liking. I can’t say enough about this hotel. It was absolutely wonderful! Will 100% be staying here again during my next visit to Santorini!

Excellent place to stay!

Great service Incredible view of the town! Helpful and friendly service! This is on the walking trail.

We had our second stay at this hotel. What a fantastic little hotel. Location is excellent and only a 15 minute walk into Fira with lots of restaurants and shops along the way. Staff are amazing and so helpful. We booked a south facing Caldera View this trip. Had wonderful views from our room and balcony. We always book direct with hotel and the communication is excellent. Get a discount as a returning guest. They arranged our ferry port and airport transfers. As a returning guest we got a free transfer back to airport which was greatly appreciated. Rooms are very clean and a reasonable size. Nice big wardrobe for clothes. No table in our room but we did have a balcony table which we used everyday. Bathroom is on the smaller size but perfect for what we needed. Love the pool area and pool bar. We ordered drinks and also they have snacks and few small meals to choose from which was great after being out and about and before dinner. Bar is run by George and you pay him direct, not the hotel. Lovely breakfast and freshly made coffee in the morning. We will always stay here and hope to return again for our 3rd visit one day soon. Highly recommend this hotel. No negatives from us at all.

My husband and I stayed at Villa Ilias while in Santorini for our honeymoon. This is a charming hotel centrally located in Firostefani, about a 10-15 minute walk from Fira. When we arrived we were checked in at the front desk by Yannis. Yannis was so friendly and helpful and reviewed a map of Santorini with us highlighting things for us to do while on the island based on our interests. We stayed in a South Facing Caldera View room and the view was breathtaking. The weather was hot so we spent time by the pool which over looked the caldera. We both agreed that the view from there was just as good if not better than anywhere else on the island, especially during the famous Santorini sunsets. George at the pool bar makes excellent drinks and is even better company. He is so kind and genuinely treats you as if you were an old friend. There are many excellent restaurants in Firostefani located near the hotel where we ate most nights as it was less crowded than Fira. Breakfast is included in your stay at the hotel and is lovely. Plenty of homemade options and delicious espresso drinks. When visiting Santorini there is no better place to stay than Villa Ilias!
