Guest Reviews
- Deborah (10/5): - Maria was wonderful and kind. Housekeeping was fabulous and worked around my schedule. My suite had a partial view so I got to see Fira and the Sea. I spent a lot of time on my balcony. Breakfast was tasty with many choices and a special extra savoury or sweet option. Thank you
- CINDIE (10/5): - The view was gorgeous and the barman George was excellent for the drinks and is personality! Thank you George 🙂
- Eloisa (10/5): - The property has an amazing view of the caldera. We arrived early and had breakfast at the villa right away, thanks! The villa had a picturesque view of caldera. The staffs are very nice and accommodating. Our hotel room was conveniently located by the pool. And the bar tender was very nice. They arranged our transportation pick up and return to the airport. The location was very convenient and walkable to the shopping areas and few meters away from the restaurants. We had an amazing time watching the cruise ships and the gorgeous sunset. We would definitely come back and stay here again. Thank you!
- liliana (10/5): - Excellent hotel with an amazing view of Santorini. Clean and amazing location in the caldera area. Staff is super kind and helpful.

Tremendous view from room and just steps from walking path that takes you to countless shops and restaurants.
- Salman (10/5): - Great location. Hotel staff is very friendly and always there to help. On our arrival the person at reception Yarris explained how we can cover different things at island which was really helpful.

- Bok Choon (10/5): - Strategic location. (Can catch sunrise and sunset. Fira is around 10-15 mins stroll from the Villa. Firostefani is within the walking trail to Oia. Firostefani bus stop is 2 mins walk down the road). Great room (Bijou, clean and well natural light lit, has got a safe box, cutlery as well as corkscrew bottle opener, wine glasses etc) Staffs (receptionist, cleaners, cooks all very friendly, helpful, welcoming). Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this Villa to anyone… solo traveller, couples or family. The view of caldera from the pool deck is just awe-aspiring. Enjoying sunset view from here with a glass or two of Santo Wines was one of my highlights!
- Kaushal (10/5): Santorini special - Great place to stay with excellent views over the caldera. Lovely pool area and the breakfast was excellent too! Extremly friendly and helpful service and they made sure we had everything that was needed.

We simply loved the place, the staff and the location!!
- Will (10/5): Incredible spot in sensational Santorini - A truly unforgettable stay, with breathtaking views and some of the most helpful, friendly and attentive staff we’ve ever experienced. Katerina and the two George’s are true masters of hospitality. Cannot recommend highly enough!
- Mario (10/5): - Well, fist the costumer service is great, always in touch, always taking care of what you need. Second, the view! That’s the place where to be! Amazing sunset from the pool or even you balcony room (if you have one) you will get the best pictures and don’t need to go out of the hotel. Third the room is ok, mine was on the pool level and I was satisfied. Also close to stores and restaurants. The classic blue doom picture is at 7 min walking. Ones again this is the place where to stay ;)

- Jelena (10/5): - We had a warm welcome from Eleni and George. They went an extra mile in offering us a service that made our stay relaxing and enjoyable.

- John (10/5): - Very well looked after with lots of personal touches- very friendly! Lovely to have a glass of wine whilst watching the beautiful sunset- terrific view.

- Verified traveler (10/5): - Would definitely come back! Staff are all very friendly and hospitable.
- Lachlan (10/5): Incredible service and experience - We were blown away by the service that Christina and the rest of the staff provided us during our stay here. Every morning, Christina would sit down with us at breakfast and help us plan our day. We really felt like she was able to help us make the most of our three days on the island. The hotel is also very beautiful! The view from the pool deck is one of the best on the island and we were able to sit there and enjoy the sunset every night while we enjoyed a drink from the pool bar. 100% would recommend to anyone to stay here!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Location of property is mind blowing and staff like Christina, Geroge and Costa like everyone are super friendly. They are always happy to help. I felt like home away from home
- Davinder (10/5): Best hotel! - Villa Illias was the best thing about our trip to Greece - the hotel is well located (thank you to Kostas for picking us up from the Airport) and all of the staff are super lovely and very very helpful (especially Chrstina). The breakfast is awesome!

- Angela (10/5): Great value, awesome staff, spectacular views - Simon and I loved our stay. Christina and George (the Bar man) were lovely in particular and made us feel like family. They both went to a lot of effort to help us when we needed it and their level of giving was way over and above what we ever expected. All the staff were fantastic from the cleaning ladies to Costas making coffee. The views were better than I imagined and our pool view room while basic, had everything we needed. We will definitely come back here again.
- Mayra (10/5): - very good
- Dayana (10/5): Perfect - The hotel was amazing, in a perfect location and everyone there was very nice and helpful. I will definitely recommend staying there and I will be back!
- Verified traveler (10/5): Best spot - The best bar and view in town. Calm and quiet area with a lot of good restaurants. Super nice staff and stay. Nice pool, and delicious breakfast! If we come back we would stay at Villa Ilias again.
- SANDRA (10/5): - Beautiful views, friendly and considerate hosts, comfortable beds, convenient location. Would recommend any time and return if traveling back to Santorini. Rooms can be loud if people are loud in the hallways but generally all is quiet by 10pm which is more than reasonable.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The staff were very friendly, accommodating and helpful.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Loved it and would go back! We were absolutely entranced by the incredible view, we loved the welcome and the service, we enjoyed the pool and the pool bar where the service was wonderful as were the cocktails. Bathrooms a little small but adequate and clean. Firostefani best place to stay in beautiful Santorini and we adored Villa Ilias
- Dennis (10/5): - George at front desk and all staff were helpful and went above and beyond expectations to make our stay perfect. Breakfast was well done and delicious. Pool and bar has amazing view. Bar and pool were perfect spots to view the beautiful sunsets. Near restaurants, shopping and bus. Safe. Property had a lot of character-charming and modern. Amazing view!!! Highly recommend!!!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Amazing! I highly recommend! Best view in the world, the staff was so friendly and helpful and the room was great. Cant say enough good things about it.
- Geny (10/5): Amazing service, beyond any expectation. - The people that works there make a complete difference in your trip. Christina and everybody body there give and amazing service, they make you feel at home and with friends always.
- Zaira (10/5): Breath taking views of the caldera. - Amazing staff, very caring and accommodating. Excellent place to stay in Santorini.
- Carolina (10/5): Stay here! - I had the best time here. The staff at this boutique hotel is very warm and caring. They have a wonderful breakfast spread, with everything homemade and delicious. I had an excellent and relaxing time here. I encourage everyone to get a caldera/pool view room and to spend time by the pool - it was GREAT.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Excellent stay - Great location, lovely hosts, delicious breakfast.
- Deanne (10/5): Great views, excellent service - Wonderful hotel with amazing views of the caldera in beautiful Santorini. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We would stay here again.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - I was left without water on the day of check out. The property gave some excuse as usual. But the fact remains the lack of system to support maintenance failures. Otherwise the staff and location are good.
- O (10/5): - The hotel is nicely located half way between Thera and Imerovigli, comfortable walking distance to both. The view of the caldera from the pool deck is great. The little patio outside the room also has a view, if not as expansive. The staff is amazing, friendly and reliable, very professional. Breakfast is very tasty and diverse. There is also a special treat every morning, always a pleasant surprise. There was a bit more noise at night than I expected, apparently from the air conditioning unit on the roof of the building next door, which is level with hotel entrance. But the bed was deep enough in the room so that it was not a problem, even with the window open. I would definitely come back, if I have a chance.
- Arpanjot (10/5): Amazing Hotel with a view and pool - This place is amazing.Beautiful views of caldera and 15 mins walk away from the square Mary was most welcoming and truly made our stay a memorable one. Would definetly be back soon!
- Ben (10/5): Brilliant - George and his team are a great bunch of people. Views are fantastic. Good breakfast. Just what you would want from a trip to Santorini and up the quieter end of Firostefani, so less walking tourists but close to everything. Loved it. Thanks George and team!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The staff are fantastic! Great location and views!!
- Mina (10/5): - We really enjoyed our stay, the staff were super friendly and helpful. The hotel has excellent location walking distance to downtown, shops and restaurants. Mostly the hotel has a great view of volcano, relaxing pool and quiet. I would definitely return and recommend it to all my friends and family
- tamirate (10/5): Volcanoes, View and Sea oh my? - Views amazing, Unit 6 and the unit above .. our opinion the best views in in the section of Santorini. Besides awesome breakfast and The View & awsome staff .... highlight was George the chef, historian and bartender/ DJ.. the drinks were amazing conversation was the best we had in Europe...
- Elizabeth (10/5): Location, location, location! - Superb! Everything from the view, to the location and the service were ideal! Walking distance to many restaurants and bars, Yet still far enough away to be quiet and away from the tourist traffic. Its perfect for a visit to caldera.
- Florence (10/5): - It was a wonderful stay at Villa Ilias
- Catherine (10/5): Very nice hotel with stunning view. - Very nice hotel with stunning view, hotel manager is kind and helpful. The breakfast is homemade and yummy. I will definitely recommend this hotel for you to stay in Santorini!
- Aki (10/5): - Nice hotel. Great location with superb view. Pool was great.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Santorini Views - Beautiful hotel. We had pool view room which also had partial ocean view. Great bartender, George. Amazing views by pool. Really good, substantial breakfast included with room. Would def stay here again.
- Sanjeet (10/5): Very nice hotel, location and well connected. - Hotel is very near to the bus station, in santorini all the places are well connected by public buses. Hotel has a very nice view ( the postcard picture can be taken from here 😊). Also going to other places( Kamari,Oia, Perissa, Fira centre and other touristy places) is easily accessible with a public bus. Staff is very helpful and informative. Would recommend to stay here - no need to give a second thought. Worth the money.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Fantastic staff, room, view, pool, breakfasts....absolutely can't go wrong. Best deal on Santorini!!!!
- Bree (10/5): - Let me start by saying i travel often. I'm from the U.S. but i have been to numerous countries in Europe and this hotel has BY FAR been the most AMAZING hotel i have stayed in. I went to santorini with my mom for the first time this summer and I cant brag about this hotel enough. Let me explain why: The view!!!!!- Our room opened up right to the pool deck and had the most amazing view of the village, water and pool. I wanted a hotel that had the view just like the movie sisterhood of the traveling pants and this was the perfect choice. when i was researching ( which i do A LOT of) it was hard to find a hotel with this view, in the area i wanted with a good price. This hotel has it all and is very reasonable. The location: This hotel is about a 15-20 minute walk from Fira. it is very easy to get to. the village the hotel is in (Firosteani) is also a nice village and has an amazing windmill bar and restaurant right down the road. This is a great location. The perks of this hotel is you also arent deep into a village down 100 steps to get to. there is a parking lot so you can park your atv or car and also get the amazing view. The staff: Mary, konstantinos, George, and the bartender at the pool were all AMAZINGGGGG. They were all just so nice. any questions you had they answered everything and are always happy. breakfast is amazing every morning and comes with a special. I could say so much more but expedia wont let me type more. STAY HERE!!!
- jisha (10/5): - beautiful views, wonderful staff, delicious breakfast
- Paul (10/5): Very pleasant hotel with excellent view - Overall an excellent stay, all the staff were very friendly and couldn't do enough to make our visit as enjoyable as possible. Breakfasts were fresh and tasty with plenty of choice available to suit all. Room was clean and tidy and in spite of our "efforts" the daily attention of Helena ensured it stayed that way! George, the pool barman, was most attentive and friendly and we already miss his chats; it mattered not that we had no more than one drink a day (as opposed to many of the younger people staying who kept him far more busy!) he was always generous with his time and the "extras" he offered.
- ilya (10/5): A very NICE Hotel at Santorini - Great location can look all over Fira areas. Good connectivity to get to easily every where of Santorini. Nice terrace with pool side sittings and great view.
- Carmen (10/5): Perfect location - Delicious breakfast, lovely room with caldera and ocean view, great swimming pool, the water might be a little cold for some, but with the Santorini heat is actually nicer to be a little cool. It can get pretty noisy outside, but closing the windows and turning the mini split on (AC) you can barely hear the noise from the outside. The beds and pillows were very hard, but we still had a good night sleep. Very small bathroom shower/tub, but again the location and everything else makes up for it, although we are pretty small, maybe bigger people might find the size of the bathroom an issue. Location is perfect, the taxi stops right in front of the hotel which in Santorini is a great plus!! On despite of the minor inconveniences like the bathroom and the hard beds i would definitively stay at Villa Illias again, in fact i would'n stay in any other place.
- John (10/5): - Best Hotel Ever, So glad I booked here, It was special and Mary was so lovely to us and anyone who walking in the door, Thank You Villa Illias for the memories.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Nice hotel next to Fira. Incredible staff! Great view from the rooms!
- Vivienne (10/5): Great Caldera Rim hotel - We had an amazing stay at Villa Ilias, it is in a perfect location on the caldera rim to see the sunset. Sitting by the pool with a drink enjoying the quiet and seeing the sun sink slowly behind a far off island with a blaze of colour, we went to Ohia to see the sunset from there but the crowds and the pushing and shoving were terrible and it’s off season. The hotel staff Mary and the Georges were very helpful and couldn’t do enough for you. We had a small pool level room which was fine for the two of us. Firostefani was a good location, close enough to Fira to walk there but a quieter place. If you come by ferry book the transfer ride with them it’s cheaper
- Verified traveler (10/5): Amazing views - Mery at the front desk is amazing, makes you feel right at home
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Breathtaking view from any common space of the hotel. As good a view you would get from any Fira/Oia hotel, and this has better value. Hotel is right on the famous walking path, and the main road. Staff was very welcoming and ever-smiling. We had a Caldera View Studio; you get the view thru the big door window; bathroom is big. Breakfast was expansive with both continental and greek fare. If you're driving, locating the entrance to reception/carpark is a bit tricky; use gps coordinates 36.4273362,25.4284045.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Great hotel with a friendly staff! The view from the pool area is unbeatable!
- Erika (10/5): Great hotel on the caldera - This was such a wonderful find, all I had wished for, and more... the owners are hands on, and it shows. Very concerned that their guests feel at home. Super location. I literally stepped out the door and onto the caldera. It is among the most beautiful parts of the caldera, and also very quiet. The nightlife of Fira is only 15 minutes away. I would highly recommend villas Ilias.
- Leah (10/5): Everything here is good - The hotel's view fantastic. The staffs go above and beyond to make feel at home. The rooms, like most Santorini, small but it can be handled. Close to Fira, actually walking distance and if you are renting a car the parking garage is in the hotel no extra charge. Hotel Highly recommended!!!
- Michelle (10/5): - Great staff,location,view and breakfast!
- Hazel (10/5): Wonderful hotel, very helpful staff, spectacular v - A spectacular spot with such lovely staff, great breakfasts and very nicely located. The facilities are great, although was a bit cool for us to swim now, but we were still able to enjoy the sunshine, bar and awesome view. The hotel organised our car hire for the day with no problems or excess fees and although the car had been well used, it got us around just fine and had been cleaned before delivery. I can absolutely recommend this hotel and all their staff. We stayed 8 nights & wish it could have been longer.
- David (10/5): Friendly, well located hotel - From the friendly welcome on arrival to our (reluctant) departure nothing was too much trouble for the hotel staff. A great breakfast each morning with always a special treat delivered to each table together with a daily activities suggestion sheet with some local history and weather info. Our room was small but comfortable, was very clean and had views to die for!!
