Villa Maria Apartments

The location was amazing. Our superior room I think had the best view right on a corner balcony, with doors from the bedroom opening onto the most spectacular view I will never forget. Our grown children were in the family suite that also had an amazing aspect out over the caldera. The rooms themselves are typically greek white washed and lovely in their luxurious simplicity. Breakfast each day was lovely at a higher view point on the property, and had wonderful new home-cooked greek traditional recipies each day which Petia was only too happy to give us the recipe for! Petia's attention to detail and enquiring nature was second to none. She gave us many tips and made phone calls for us and was ready to help with anything, it was like having a friend helping you out every day. Maria the 'grandmother' lives on the property and has her own rooms and small church integrated into the cliff that you can go into along with a lovingly well tended garden and chicken run - this made the property all the more personal and quaint. There is plenty of parking also if you have a car.

There is nothing we didn't like. The town of Akrotiri is much quieter than the main luxury, busy towns but has more than a dozen restaurants of all classes to choose from and once you've experienced Oia and Fira in their vibrancy and madness you'll love the lower key vibe of this area as respite! Supermarkets and alcohol and bakeries are within a short car drive for all that you need outside of the hotel's breakfast hours. The pool area has the most incredible location and is yours to use as you please.

Quiet place with an amazing view and nice rooms (room with sea view). Great pool area as well. Very helpful staff. Recommend to have a car during your stay.

the location is wonderful! breathtaking view and such a peaceful place. One of the most beautiful hotel we ever stayed (view and location wise). Petya is so lovely. Very passionate about her job and made us feel at home immediately. Always smiling and happy! Very authentic hotel.

everything was great! would recommend a car :)

Friendly extremely helpful staff. Petya gave great on local places to visit and eat. Tried to assist us booking a quad bike. Breakfast was very nice, variety was good and different pastries each day. Views were sensational from Villa room we had. We would definitely stay there again next time in Santorini. We liked it because it’s away from hustle and bustle of bigger towns

The pool was beautiful to swim in each day and amazing views but it seemed like locals were using it also. But didn’t impact on us as numbers were low.

The location of the property is an oasis on Santorini - it’s so quiet and calm, away from the chaos of Thera & Oia. The views from the deck are second to none. We wished we could have stayed longer. The staff are very attentive and kind. Petya in particular helped us with everything. The owners also have a Restaurant in Akrotiri, Misteli. We dined there 2 of our 3 nights we stayed, the food was THAT good.
