Our stay at Mirabo Villas in September was absolutely magical! Perched on the cliffs of Firostefani, the villa offers breathtaking views of the Aegean Sea and caldera that left us speechless. The blend of traditional Cycladic architecture with modern comforts made every moment feel special. We especially loved unwinding by the shared plunge pool and watching the sun dip below the horizon from our private terrace—pure romance. The staff were attentive without being intrusive, and the whole experience felt like a dream getaway. From the stunning location to the serene atmosphere, it was everything we hoped for and more. A perfect escape, highly recommended!
The view of the Skaros Rocks from the hotel is absolutely breathtaking—literally right outside your door. Every morning felt like waking up in a postcard. The breakfast spread was exceptional, with fresh local ingredients and a great variety that catered to all tastes. Staff were attentive and friendly without being intrusive. This stay exceeded expectations in every way—perfect for a romantic getaway or a peaceful retreat. Would book again in a heartbeat.
The Orizontes Hotel in Santorini is an outstanding choice for a memorable stay. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome with their warm and polite service. The hotel’s location is perfect—close to town yet quiet enough to relax. Our room was clean, spacious, and beautifully designed with views of the caldera. The only small suggestion would be to include more vegetable options at breakfast, as that’s the one area where it could be improved. Overall, though, this place exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Santorini.
The overall stay at The Zen Villa was enjoyable and well worth it. Nicole, our host, went above and beyond by stocking the fridge with breakfast essentials and providing bottled water—something we appreciated since tap water isn’t safe to drink here. That said, a few areas could be improved. First, communication around housekeeping needs to be clearer. We ran out of tissues, but since we weren’t informed about the 7 PM cutoff for requests, the restock didn’t happen until noon the next day. Second, the laundry service charged $21 per bag, but they sorted clothes by color without warning, leading to a total of $65 for just three bags. Whites weren’t properly cleaned (no bleach used), and some items were still damp when returned. Pickup was promised in the morning but didn’t happen until afternoon. Third, dining options nearby are limited. A short Uber ride to beachside restaurants takes less than 10 minutes, but round-trip costs $154—quite steep. Plus, due to the property’s off-road location, many drivers couldn’t find the entrance and we had to walk 3 minutes to meet them. Lastly, the lower-level bathroom and bed furnishings feel outdated and could use a refresh. Despite these points, there were plenty of positives: daily housekeeping, excellent private yacht arrangements, stunning views, friendly staff, smooth airport transfers for our group of eight, a lovely adult-sized pool, and a cozy fire pit area perfect for evening relaxation. Overall, the experience was strong, especially for those who value privacy, nature, and personalized service.
Staying at West East Suites in Santorini was an absolutely unforgettable experience. The breakfast was incredibly generous and delicious—fresh pastries, local cheeses, fruits, and coffee that kept us energized all day. But the real highlight? The view from our room. Every morning, we woke up to the stunning panorama of whitewashed buildings tumbling down towards the Aegean Sea, with the sun setting behind the caldera like a painting. The location is perfect—quiet yet close to everything, just a short walk or quick ride on the local tram to explore the island’s charm. We were so impressed by the comfort, service, and attention to detail that we’re already planning our next trip here. If you want a peaceful, beautiful, and authentic Santorini getaway, this place is a must-visit.
Stunning views from the room—every morning started with a breathtaking view of the caldera, and the sunset was absolutely unforgettable. The property has a charming, rustic vibe, though some areas could use a little renovation. That said, the overall atmosphere is cozy and authentic. One minor issue was a faint sewer odor in one of the rooms, but it dissipated quickly after opening the windows. Location is excellent—just a short walk to the town center and all the main sights. If you're looking for a peaceful, scenic stay without breaking the bank, this place is definitely worth considering. Great value for the price, and the views alone make it memorable.
This is one of the best value stays I've had in Santorini! While it's located on the southern part of the island—away from the main towns—it’s actually a plus if you're looking for peace and quiet. The huge swimming pool is stunning, and the small indoor heated pool is perfect for cool evenings or early mornings. The rooms are spacious, well-designed, and very comfortable with a modern, minimalist vibe. Staff are friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. Even though it’s not right next to the village, getting around is easy—just a short drive or a nice walk to explore the area. I loved the balance between relaxation and convenience. If you want a peaceful retreat with great amenities and excellent service, this place is absolutely worth considering.
