Villa Manos

The hotel was clean and quiet, however, a number of things were disappointing including: no bottled water provided (the island clearly states the tap water isn’t safe to drink so why no small bottle provided?), the hard sell on checkin for a tour on a boat didn’t land well and when rejected the staff got rude and basically threw my ID card back at me after I had to ask for it back. The room was fine and some shower gel was provided with clean towels every day although sheets were not changed. I did like that the aircon worked on a sensor with the door so minimising electrical waste. The bar staff were great and always with a ready smile and friendly service. It didn’t seem to be possible to pay by card so make sure you have plenty of cash available. The bus stop is up the road and once you work out the system it’s pretty easy to navigate the island from there. Sadly for the price I paid I didn’t feel I got good value for money which is a shame as the place has oodles of potential.

Quiet, away from the crowds. Wish the taxi / vehicle rental / transportation wasn’t so shady on this island.

Wonderful experience! Poppi was great and the front staff were so welcoming. The coolest hotel I have ever stayed in—would absolutely recommend!

It is a beautiful hotel and the staff was very friendly and helpful.

Our stay at Villa Manos was great - the team were really nice and welcoming, both at Reception (especially Poppy) and the bar/restaurant (especially Miltos). They were able to support us with transfers across the island. The room was a good size and had a great view towards the coast, and overlooking the property. The restaurant was impressive and reasonably priced, with service to the sun loungers as standard. The property is a short bus journey from the town of Fira (walking is possible to the town but be aware that the roads don't have designated pavements/sidewalks as we may be used to in the UK etc and so it's good to be vigilant!). Within a more reasonable walking distance there are local restaurants and cafes that are worth a visit. All in all, it was a great stay in a lovely hotel :)

Amazing staff and amazing place, would recommend anyone to stay there.

The staff is amazing and friendly. It's probably a 15-20 minute walk from the hotel depending how fast you walk. The staff takes excellent care of guests. I needed a last minute ride and they responded promptly. The super market is only a couple minutes away. Great stay!

VERY NICE HIDDEN GEM IN SANTORINI. CENTRALLY LOCATED AND 20 MINUTES FROM NORTH AND SOUTH. GREAT ROOMS AND GREAT ENVIRONMENT. QUIET AND AWAY FROM THE NOISE OF FIRA OR THIRA. NO PEOPLE WALKING AROUND YOUR HOTEL LIKE IN OIA. MAYBE NOT THE BEST HOTEL BUT ITS DEFINATELY WORTH THE MONEY. I WOULD STAY AGAIN! WITH A CAR OR 4 WHEEL/SCOOTER RENTAL YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SEE THE WHOLE ISLAND!

Lovely place to stay, which was always clean, and with a very friendly service from Poppy & her team. Nice central location about 30mins walk from the main town. Would highly recommend staying here at a very good cost and value for money. Hope to return one day and still see this place going strong after the pandemic because I would highly recommend it to people wanting to experience the lovely island of Santorini.

Really great stay!!
