Villa Valvis

The best thing about this hotel is that is walking distance to the black sand beach and the bus stop. The owner Marina was very kind and friendly. The hotel is very clean.

Very welcoming owners, spotlessly clean pool. Excellent location. The studio facilities were a bit limited.

A great place to stay in santorini. Perissa beach, 24hr bakery and supermarket are all very short walks away. The air-conditioning in the room works really well (life-saver), the rooms are cleaned everyday by a very friendly lady, the pool is kept spotless round the clock. The staff at the pool bar are incredibly friendly - drinks brought to you with free nuts :-) also the drinks are cheap. The wifi is free and works pretty good outside round the pool area. We found the pool was nearly empty most of the time - in July which was a surprise. Book this place, you wont regret it.

Greeted at midnight by Marina who showed us to room 1 next to the pool and gave us some info about the area and where to head to eat. Typical basic Greek style room but with great bathroom.. Shower cubicle with doors! Kettle and fridge but not full self catering facilities so check out other rooms if this is important. Fantastic pool with jacuzzi section. Location is 2 mins walk to main road, bakery and supermarket and 5mins in other direction to the beach. This was the better end of the beach for me as much quieter and close to Perivolos for a change of scene. Great value for money and helpful friendly owners. Book it and prepare to relax in paradise!

The villa is very clean and is serviced daily. No concerns regarding the room. The couple who own the villa are very friendly and accomodating. Located in the villa is a swimming pool and bar by the pool which is open from 09:00 to 21:00. The villa is a 3-5 minute walk from the beach which also houses the restaurants and bars along the beach strip. It's also a 1 minute walk from the main road (and bus stop) which has transport links to the rest of the island. 3-5 minutes walk away along the main road is a 24 hour bakery which is definitely worth a visit as well as a supermarket and other amenities such as an ATM and vehicle hire. We hired a 2 seater beach buggie to travel around the whole island which is very small, of which we visited the main towns such as Fira and Oia amongst other destinations in one day. Definitely worth considering a vehicle hire to travel around the island, as was recommended to us prior to our travel.

Really lovely family run hotel, the owners were so nice and really made the stay! Hotel is clean and functional and for the price was ideal, pool was a good size and the location is ideal for Beach!

Great place to stay close to the beach. Very friendly owners and everything we needed in the room.

We stayd at the hotel for 4 nights, it is owned by a lovely couple who were very friendly and helpful at all times. The hotel itself is small and very quite(Just a bit off the main road of perissa). The pool was also very nice and rooms were kept clean daily. Overall perfect stay, very close to everything(bus, bar, market etc)yet very quite, friendly and homely feeling.

If you're looking for somewhere to relax and unwind this is the spot. My husband and I just spent a long awaited holiday here and we couldn't have picked anywhere better. The location of Perissa we found to be great as it was really chilled out unlike Fira and Oia which are full to the brim with eager tourists! The location of the hotel is a walk away from the great black beach and the main high street. There are lots of restaurants and bars to choose from and food is reasonably priced. Our room was just what we needed (including air con). The pool was lovely and the family who run the business were so welcoming and helpful. We honestly couldn't have been happier with our holiday.

The staff were great, there was a nice pool and the pool bar was open all hours. Continental breakfast was good for 4 euros each. It was about 300 mtrs from the nearest bit of beach and 50 mtrs from the bus stop to the capital, Fira. There was a kettle, 2 mugs and a fridge but no cooking facilities. We enjoyed it at Villa Valvis and the English-speaking manageress was very helpful with local info and arranging a transfer back to the airport. Her husband was pleasant too. Like most places in Greece, the mattresses are hard so extra padding under the sheets may be necessary for people who suffer from bad backs. It's possible to walk up to ancient Thera, which overlooks the village from a large headland, if you are fit. Alternatively, you can go up on donkeys or mules. There's also a boat service around the headland to Cameri and then you can take the road-train up to the ancient city for 10 euros (24 hairpin bends make for an interesting ride). The views are great.
