Villa Valvis

Just come back from the Villa Valvis if you stay in Santorini book it. Lovely people, lovely positon. They changed our towels and sheets every single day and kept the place spotless.

We were very happy at Villa Valvis. It was simple accommodation but a fridge and kettle meant that we could do a certain amount of basic self catering. Sitting on the balcony outside our room for evening drinks and snacks was very relaxing. The pool was very handy and we swam in it every day as well as swimming at the beach which is just a ten minute walk away. Maria and Mikailis were very pleasant and helpful hosts. The only negative was that the booking system led me to believe that I had booked a studio apartment with self catering facilities which meant that I was very disappointed initially at not having those additional facilities. It seems that other people had also had this problem as Maria said this had happened before.

This hotel is very near to Perissa beach and the local bakery which is very popular! The pool is small but perfect for a few lengths and to cool off in the heat. The owners were extremely friendly and even let us stay in our room for an extra day as our flight home was so late.

The hotel is great if you're on a budget. Pros: free wifi, has a pool, close to the beach, very clean, the hair dryer was brilliant (I had friends staying in much posher hotels and their hair dryers were dreadful), the staff were lovely - very friendly, welcoming and happy to advise you on buses and beaches and closest shops etc. Good shower water pressure. Good air con. The hotel is quite close to a bar but I didn't hear any noise or music blaring at silly o'clock in the morning. Cons: quite far from the main area but not too bad if you don't mind taking a bus which is far cheaper than taking taxis if there is only 1 or 2 of you staying. The bus is between 2 - 3 euros whereas a taxi to the main area is 20 euros. I had no curtain in my room, only a net curtain which was annoying as I had to get dressed in the bathroom which was quite small. Also, the lack of curtain meant that I woke up at about 7 as it was so bright. Really for the price you can't complain but it all depends what you're looking for on your holiday. If you want to be near where all the action is then I would suggest booking somewhere closer but if you just want to stay somewhere clean and close to the beach and restaurants then I would be happy to recommend this place and would stay again :)

Lovely, kind staff that work here- the cleaner was fantastic, the owners were so helpful and hospitable.. We lost our room key and they went to the key cutting shop strait away and gave us another one free of charge.. The pool was perfection- 👌 it's situated right down the road from the most famous beach with loads of cheap restaurants!!

Only one night - wish it was longer. Congrats to the owners on faultless service.

Villa Valvis are excellent value. You are made most welcome by the owners. The pool was ideal and well maintained. Some days we had it to ourselves. The accommodation was the best we have had in Santorini and this was our third visit to the island.

Wonderful place to stay. The owners Michaelis and Marina were so kind and couldn't do enough to help us. Our room was lovely as was the pool and bar area. The maid changed our towels and bedding every day which was so good to see and her towel art amused us every day! The location was great with bars and cafes on the beach 5 mins away. A 24hr Bakery was just up on the main street as was the bus stop. This is a great place to stay, cheap bar prices served with a smile and friendly faces by the pool.

I would definitely recommend this hotel for any one to stay in Perrissa, Santorini. Marina and husband-(can't remember his name-Sorry!) were fantastic. From the moment we arrived , they greeted us with genuine smiles and acceptance and could not do enough for myself and my travelling companions. Every day the room was cleaned and new towels and sheets were changed. They gave recommendations of places to visit, eat and cost of either taxis or buses. The pool was fantastic and the location of the hotel was 5 minutes up the road from the beach!!. Only 2 negative things I would say is that the A/C needs to be a bit updated but I was told that they would be improving the systems, and that all the rooms should have a kettle-(but that's me being British!). In all I would definitely give a rating of 4.5

Villa Valvis was excellent we wanted, good value, clean rooms, great locatoin and the owners really care about their guests.If I had to pick a negative, it would be that the sound proofing of the rooms was not great and therefore sleep could be distrubed. excellent value for money otherwise.
