Guest Reviews

• Corcoran (10/5): THE BEST sunset views in the world from our luxurious and spacious upper patio - THE BEST sunset view in the world. We enjoyed it from our huge, luxurious upper patio. Bedrooms were very comfortable, and the homemade breakfast each morning was delicious. We ate inside and outside on the downstairs patio. Lily was a fantastic host! She made everything easy and fun. Transportation and luggage management would have been a struggle without her. But with Lily, everything was handled and easy on us so we could focus on being together and relaxing as a family. 10/10 stay.
• palaris (10/5): - Very good location, property and excellent host.
• Lin (10/5): 位置地點非常一流，居高臨下的地理位置極佳，俯瞰伊亞海景與夕陽，心曠神怡！接待我們的整個過程都非常熱情周到，讓我們賓至如歸。我們喜歡這裡服務團隊的熱情主動與貼心。。 - 早餐很棒！媽媽親手準備的豐盛早餐，讓大家都能開啟活力的一天！這是一棟很棒很獨特的度假別墅，不僅可以觀賞到絕美的海景與夕陽，也可以在喧囂的旅遊人潮中獲得獨有的空間與寧靜。周遭餐廳酒吧俱全。
• Katherine (10/5): - This was the most amazing property. It was spacious, clean and had incredible views from the rooftop deck. The best part was Lily who manages the property. She was the most helpful person and communicated very well. She gave us great recommendations on restaurants and things to do. She made the stay the most enjoyable we have ever had at a property. And her sweet mother made us a delicious breakfast every morning. They cleaned our rooms while we had breakfast, which I tried to tell them was not necessary, especially replacing the towels every day. But they were so attentive to everything. The stay was perfect and we can’t wait to come back.
• Kristina (10/5): Great experience. Breakfasts were amazing and house manager was super responsive. Couldn’t have asked for better. -
• M672GRshelleys (10/5): Oia Mansion is incredible! - Oia Mansion is wonderful. There are 4 bedrooms spread out for maximum privacy. The beds are comfortable. There are multiple different decks and terraces with incredible views. We had an incredible breakfast on the covered terrace overlooking the sea every morning. Lilly was amazing. She saw to every detail. We even had a wedding on the upstairs deck and a dinner with a chef after the wedding. It was private and just perfect. If we return to Santorini we will definitely. W staying there!
• Amy (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lynn (10/5): Gorgeous property, best location, and fabulous service. - Gorgeous property in a perfect location—at the tip of Oia steps from restaurants and shopping, yet at the end of the busy district. Busy outside the gates at sunset as people target for the sight, but there’s plenty of privacy because of the gate and the terraces. Lily and Nadia were amazing—accommodating at every step, getting drivers, making recommendations, and answering questions. Nadia’s breakfasts were outstanding. There’s a separate entrance to the kitchen, so she comes and goes without disruption. Nothing. We loved it all.
• nathanhZ7134UA (10/5): Perfect Stay - The Oia Mansion was amazing! In the heart of Oia with the best sunset views on the island. Lily met us on arrival and was so helpful. They prepared breakfast each morning consisting of crepes, eggs, fruit, local cheese, baked goods and more, way more than we could eat. The sunset from the rooftop was unrivaled, you can see the unobsecured sunset plus several floors below thr tourists that wish they could have our view. Highly recommend!
• Dave (10/5): Exceptional - We had a wonderful time in Santorini with the added benefit of having stayed at the Oia Mansion which made the stay an exceptional experience including the best views around. Lily was very helpful and supportive during our stay and Nadia’s breakfasts were a great experience in themselves each morning.
• Preetha (8/5): Awesome -
• Brynda (9/5): Beautiful house - the most incredible views on Santorini - Privacy is lacking - The best views you can get in Oia. Panoramic views that most hotels can’t get as it is above all cliffs. Truly amazing sunsets. Everything was incredible. The location is great for walking and shopping as you’re at the end/top of the shopping district whereas most of the luxury hotels are down the cliff more, which equates to walking up steeps steps every time you leave your hotel (not required when staying at Oia Mansion) - however the counter argument is that just outside the house gates is packed with people most times of the day, and especially 1-2 hrs before sunset. Once you’re inside the gates of Oia Mansion it’s no bother - you head up to the roof and catch the most unbelievable views. Only other slight negative is that becasue it’s a house/airbnb it has a host. The host is very sweet and attentive, but there every day. Every morning they cook breakfast (which is also incredible) - but they kind of stick around too much. If you like your peace and space/privacy - you will not get that here. It did not bother me as much as she is very helpful (sets up cab rides, knowledgeable about the town, etc.). However my husband is a very private person and he found it to be too invasive and too much. The other negative is the cost differs depending on the amount of people you have in the house. We originally booked for our family alone, and then others decided to join which I thought could just stay in the house with us. However when I let the host know he said it’s 300€/person/night extra 😳. Which I understand a little as more people equate to more food (as breakfast is included), but there was no ‘discount for kids’ and the added cost far surpassed what we would have paid for an entire residence/multi-bedroom suite at 4/5 star hotels in the area. For that reason I likely would not book again. But if money is no object, and the four bedrooms are well used, I would recommend this house. It is beautiful and the location is top notch.
• Adventure36001888272 (10/5): Best experience ever! - This stay was fantastic for our family! We returned back to Santorini after 24 years. Our stay was exceptional at Oia Mansion. Beautiful place at the tip of Oia for the most spectacular sunsets on the roof! Our family and friends had dinner on the rooftop with hot tub and music while the sun slowly disappeared. Our stay was more than we could have imagined. The best part of our stay was Lily! She helped our family arrange a boat tour, transports, beach stay, and luggage pickup. She made our stay seamless here. Will absolutely come back! R.Pompey
• T7930OXmaryk (10/5): Beautiful Oia Mansion - We loved our stay at Oia Mansion! Lily and her mother were wonderful hosts! Everything was perfect. Lily arranged transportation from the ferry terminal to Oia. She organized a day trip and a sunset dinner at the villa. Such a wonderful place. I definitely recommend!
• Sherlock (10/5): - Words can not describe how incredible this experience was. Not only is oía mansion beautiful and stunning, it had the most perfect, stress free view of the beautiful Santorini sunset! Lily, and all of her staff was so accommodating, warm, and friendly. The mansion offered rooftop dinning that cemented the beauty and culture. Can not wait to return.
• Dorothy (9/5): Amazing, super comfortable and luxurious - Location, love everything about this place! Nothing
• Edward (10/5): Exceptional -
• Anonymous (10/5): Perfect spot to spend our time in Oia. - Perfect location for sunset. Lily is simply the best! Thank you for all you did to help us before we arrived and while we were there.
• H91JAstevec (2/5): Questionable values - We didn't have a chance to actually visit the Oia mansion but wanted to give an example of the character of the people that run it. We booked dates for a June family vacation and pre paid the nonrefundable full amount. The next day we realized we had booked the wrong dates and tried to adjust to the correct ones, which unfortunately were not available. We explained the situation to the managers and owners (less than 48 hours later) who refused to refund our payment even with ample time to rebook during high season. They then rebooked the property and now have made 2x the rental fee for that week. We realize that this was our error but a reasonable owner would refund the payment after the house was rerented and there was no financial harm to them. We even offered a fee to them for their time which they refused. They did offer a credit but getting back to Greece from the US is not a quick or inexpensive endeavor. This is not the Greek hospitality we were hoping for.
• Anonymous (10/5): The most stunning location in Oia, with the most fantastic staff team we have experienced in Greece. - absolute best location in Oia. The on-site staff were absolutely fantastic.
• Paula (10/5): just stay here. I cannot say enough good things about this place. Lily and her mom Nadia made us feel so well taken ca - everything. location was amazing. sunset amazing. outdoor space amazing. there really aren’t enough superlatives.
• Abhishek (10/5): Exceptional - the hosts and the location was 10/10 the sunset was 11/10 !! nothing to not like - a must stay
• Amanda (9/5): Superb - The good breakfast, the good hospitality of the host Nothing
• Darcy (10/5): Fabulous, Amazing and Toooo short. - Fabulous location, location, location and accommodations. Rooftop second to none! Sunset words cannot describe, priceless. Lily and Nadia were over the top hosts, communicative, so kind and genuine. Can’t wait to come back! Hard to knock paradise.
• Anh (10/5): Exceptional -
• Erin (10/5): The house and location are perfect, but having Lily to cook breakfast and help arrange activities and reservations was w - Lily was amazing, she made our trip fabulous and was the very best things about this rental! The house is beautiful and simple. The breakfast patio and rooftop patio were perfect spots to gather as a family and enjoy the weather and the views. loved it all!
• Melissa (10/5): - This place was amazing! Beautiful property and Lily and her family were amazing hosts! The breakfast every morning was perfect and everyone was helpful and friendly. Highly recommend this property!
• nelly2808 (10/5): amazing vacation - The location of the Oia mansion is amazing. beautiful point for sunsets. feels very private and covid safe. the service is great no worry about anything, Amazing Lili takes care of everything with the great support of her mother. It's the perfect place to share for 2 copels or a family very reach and fresh and tasty breakfast, the rooms are clean and fresh. Santorini, Thank you !! you were so kind to us
• 2022MELMA (10/5): Lovely Holidays - We absolutely loved Oia Mansion. Truly a Covid safe settlement. Private above the crowds, with views to kill while drinking cocktails in the jacuzzi & listening to music from Sonos. We stayed 7 days and we have already booked a week in October. Oia Mansion’s breakfast is a feast. Coffee is excellent, you can smell the coffee beans. Both Lily the concierge & Nadia are very eager to please. The location is probably the best on the island.
• Amillia (10/5): Like A Dream!! - My stay here was like a dream. I thought I was just renting a mansion but got way more for my money. I felt like royalty staying there. Fresh breakfast was prepared every morning! The host of the property made my experience amazing! She knew everything about the island and set up reservations at the best restaurants! The list goes on. The location was perfect. I watched the sunset from the rooftop every evening, which was breath taking. The mansion is very beautiful and unique! I really loved staying here and I believe it was worth every penny!
• Livija (10/5): Wonderful staying in Oia - Wonderful staying in Oia, one of the best! Very good all! Thanks about all!!!
• ukyyeung (10/5): Have a great and absolutely beautiful view! The person in charge is very kind and beautiful! - Stayed in Santorini for 10 days and lived in two different types of hotels, both of which were super good! Oia Mansion is a cultural heritage with a history of over a hundred years in the town of Oia in Santorini. A year before I set off for Santorini, I have booked online and have been looking forward to staying because I am deeply attracted by its history. For a century-old building, it is well preserved. Friday, September 28, 2018, on the day of check-in！I am amazed that it is actually more beautiful than the picture, while the Vipassana is more stylish and the decoration feels like a royal family. Oia Mansion has an invincible landscape and watch the sunset! It is managed by a fourth-generation family member. The breakfast was very good, just booked the night before, the manager Lily was very friendly and enthusiastic, and her mother and sister and all the chefs were super friendly, treated like family, and gave me a big bamboo. Surprise! Really moved! Thank you guys! Embrace each other on the last day and reluctant to everyone! Next time we will definitely come back to live here. 在聖托里尼住了10天，住在兩種不同類型的酒店，兩者都超級棒！ 伊亞大廈是一座文化遺產，在聖托里尼島的伊亞鎮擁有一百多年的歷史。 早於出發前往聖托里尼的一年前,我已經在網上預訂,一直期待入住,因為我被它的歷史深深吸引。 2018年9月28日星期五,入住那天！我很驚訝它實際上比圖片更漂亮，而內觀更時尚，裝飾感覺像一個王室。 以過百年歷史的建築來說,算是保存得很好。 Oia Mansion擁有無敵景觀,觀看日落!由傳承第四代家族成員管理。 早餐很豐盛,只須前一晚預訂便可,管理人Lily很友善又熱情,而且她的媽媽及妹妹及一眾廚師都超友善,好像家人一樣對待我們,還給了我一竹很大的驚喜！真的很感動！多謝你們！ 在最後一天更互相擁抱，捨不得大家！下次我們一定會再回來住在這裡。
• gunflint1 (10/5): Yes, Yes, Yes - You can't go wrong booking the Oia Mansion. Plan your trip to Santorini around the availability of this property. It is worth the price of admission without question. The recent reviews are so accurate. The experience of enjoying the sunset experience above the crowds; indeed, with those outside the gate wondering "how did they find this place." The service provided by Lily and her mother was terrific. They arranged transportation from the Ferry Terminal and also to the airport on departure. They arranged tours while in Santorini, but the magic of simply absorbing this property was the highlight. Again, plan your trip to Santorini around your ability to book this home.
• mikewolfrealtor (10/5): An unforgettable stay in Santorini - one for the ages - We came to santorini and first booked at strogili traditional homes. We found that location to be very well reviewed and suitable for families. What we found upon arrival it was a very small room, great views and decent service but accommodations that were just far too small and spartan for our taste and for our family of four. We decided to find another place and booked this mansion even though it was at an additional cost lost to the other place. How many times you going to go to Santorini in your life? Gotta do it right, right?!? So glad we did Without hyperbole, this is one of the finer properties that we’ve ever had the opportunity to stay at. The location - It was unique in that we were able to stay in different locations during our same trip. There are pros and cons for this location. I didn’t hesitate booking it because it was rated a 10 on location; this is directly related because of the views of the sunset. With the sunset views comes the crowds, especially in high season, that surround the home. We almost felt like a movie star celebrity of some sort because you are behind your gated compound with ridiculous views with ample space where you can do jumping jacks and calisthenics and outside the gate there are scores of people crowded like at the front row of a rock concert trying to get a view with their smart phone of the ensuing sunset. There is an element of pleasure in that you are living in the exact spot where tourists are taking pictures and doing selfie’s throughout the day. This only applies to the patio. At the top roof deck it’s game over, you feel like you are the king of the castle and on top of the world. The sunset views are ridiculous. Quite possibility one of the most gorgeous we’ve ever witnessed. In terms of proximity towards markets and restaurants were walking distance to several - check my profile for other reviews - we also recommend paradox Thai (because they deliver which is great, especially if you’re near sunset time). The house - It is a four bedroom mansion. This house is perfect for four couples that are traveling together. We had way more space than we needed for us and our 3 year old and 4 month old, but we appreciated it especially given the contrast from our previous hotel. There are three bathrooms throughout the home in total. When honestly we have stayed in better bed or bedroom/bathroom combinations, but the main living space, the front patio deck, the top roof view, and the spa/mini pool on the roof made up for the more pedestrian bedroom accommodations. There’s ac units throughout and Beautiful barrel vaulted living room and dining room areas that are picturesque remind you that you’re living in a piece of history. Kitchen set up for a butler style layout. It’s accessible through a separate entry. It’s a full working kitchen for a mansion. The house has a phenomenal Sonos System that after I got the hang of the control, gave us wireless fidelity speakers w individual control for whatever music we wanted to during our stay which was beautiful. Music is an important compliment. The Wi-Fi is awesome and fast Where this home could improve? In a year or two it will need an eventual remodel and updating of the bathrooms. I can’t say that interior is exquisite but it’s very nice. Again, it’s the views and the location - and lily (see below) that make up for any shortcomings of the interior of the home. Pros This stay would not have been the same without the coordinating help of the property concierge Lily. She was our ‘fixer’, chef, housekeeper, concierge, general enthusiast, and general badass all-in-one. Every morning we sat down in the patio to an exquisite breakfast made to order. Fresh fruits, delicious coffee, pancakes, eggs, toast, cheese, you name it. We were also able to do laundry and have it folded without a cost which is been a super big help especially on a long trip with family. Lastly, the best component of this home is the 270° panoramic views from the caldera to the northern islands adjacent to Santorini. Legit amazing we made a point to take in the stars with a glass of vin santo each night. Cons - The crowds at sunset are a bit tough to deal with especially if you were trying to go somewhere at that time. It is like a legitimate traffic jam in front of your home, but you wouldn’t get the views, so at the end of the day it’s just something you have to deal with and appreciate. Also, just six in terms of the taxi/driver service to the port or airport are a bit more challenging because there are no immediate vehicle roads to the house, everything is accessed by foot. You have to walk about 5-6 minutes to the nearest parking lot area where your luggage can be loaded into a car, (but we were assisted with this each step of the way by Lilly and the team). Overall, we are so glad that we canceled our original booking and finished our stay at the oia mansion. It’s a one-of-a-kind experience that we will not soon forget, and one of the most beautiful sunsets that we have ever taken in. I understand that it’s a property valued about €10 million, so if you find this place to be average then you better be a billionaire 😉
• 746christophl (10/5): Perfect location in Oia - What an amazing house and view from the roof-deck! Perfect place for the legendary Oia sundowner! Thanks a lot to Lily and her mother for the best breakfast experience we had for a long time. Served in a lovely house with beautiful Interieur - all details are just perfect. And finally the Sonos Sound System in all Areas of the building - even on the Roof-deck... the Kids loved to sit in the warm pool listening to the Music and enjoying the sundowner. They will never Forget! Thanks a lot to Lily and Nadja!
• Verified traveler (10/5): Das schönste Haus in Oia. - Wunderschönes Haus mit perfektem Service durch Lily und Nadja. Super Frühstück. Traumhafte Dachterrasse mit warmen kleinen Pool, aus dem man den Sonnenuntergang perfekt bewundern kann.
• mcrf00die (10/5): Absolutely incredible place - We stayed in the Oia Mansion for 5 nights in late August. It was hands-down the most amazing place we've stayed in. If you go to Santorini, you HAVE to stay here! Lily met us from our airport transfer and looked after us right up until we were on the plane home! She made our stay very comfortable and her mother cooked breakfast for us every morning, which was such a nice touch. The roof terrace with the hot tub was definitely the standout feature. Whilst other tourists are standing like sardines in the boiling heat for hours waiting for the spectacular Santorini sunset, we had our own beautiful terrace!! The location was good. It was in the slightly quieter part of town but a short 2 min walk would lead you to the main street with all different restaurants, markets, and bars. Really really lovely stay, I would really recommend this gorgeous place!
• c00kingnut (10/5): Oia Manson, best on Santorini - We stayed in the Oia Manson for 5 days. Lily the manager was extremely helpful and handled everything from fixing a wonderful breakfast to getting us buggies, taxis or anything we needed. We assumed we would have to locate and negotiate services on the Island after we got there, but Lily took care of anything we needed. She actually sat down with us on arrival and let us know of her availability. This was all inclusive in the daily price which really impressed me. There was also daily cleaning service. The House is an old Captain's Manson which has been maintained for four generations and in great condition. It is in a prime location on the Island. I highly recommend the Manson.
• BHPss (10/5): Santorini in style - We stayed in Oia mansion for 2 nights in early Jun. There's no better choice if you are travelling in a group. The location is perfect for the most beautiful and romantic sunset in Oia. While people travel to Oia for the best views a few hours before sunset and wait there with so many people, we can just relax and enjoy our wine and beer on Oia mansion's rooftop before sunset. The mansion is decorated in cosy and luxury way, sizeable living room and dining room for us to rest and chat. We had breakfast in dining room as well as outside the house with everything setup nicely. Not to mention the freshly cooked breakfast everyday by Nadia, you are guaranteed to be full, and have tasty food to start your day. It takes about 8-10 minutes to walk to Oia Mansion from the car drop off point. But Lily will arrange helpers to deliver your luggage to the mansion so that's not a problem. Overall, highly recommend this property.
• 458raqueli (10/5): Sunsets to die for and delicious breakfast - This is a truly fantastic place to stay on your trip to santorini. It is in a fantastic location with arguably the best view of the sunset in this area. Everyone lines up below you and all around to watch the sunset, while you get to sit on your roof top deck and not fight for a spot in the crowd. It's also a short walk to the steps down to ammoudi bay - which I would highly suggest. The inside of the house is very clean and well kept. It is a really beautiful house and very unique as it's built in the cave house style of the island. The service is also great. Lily was fantastic and makes the most delicious breakfasts! We wish we could bring her home with us so we could have a breakfast like that every morning! She is also very helpful in arranging anything you need on the spot. She also came and met us at the post office (the farthest you can go in the car) with some helpers to carry all of our luggage to the house. It was fantastic as that meant we didn't have to take our luggage ourselves. Can't recommend this place enough!
• lisa3B (8/5): Great stay but little assistance from management - It was great to spread out with our adult children in a unique and spacious home. The location can't be beat at the tip of Oia where crowds gather each night to watch the sunset; amazing views from the roof. My prevalent thought here is that we had little assistance from management and mostly had to figure things out totally on our own. The caretaker Lily met us at our taxi upon arrival, showed us around the house and gave us a key. She didn't leave us a phone number or any way to contact her if we needed assistance and we were so tired upon arrival we didn't think to ask. We didn't see her again until our departure 5 days later - she never stopped by, never called. On our first full day we lost electricity - we don't speak Greek and had no way to call her for assistance. We learned her sister works in a store nearby and went there to ask her to get a message to Lily about power outage but we never heard from her. Fortunately the power loss didn't last long since it was 95 degrees. Electricity went out again the following day for about 90 mins. At check in we were not shown how to operate the air conditioning. On our first night we were unable to cool one of the bedrooms whose unit was turned off until the following morning when we luckily found a remote control that operates the A/C units. FYI there are no thermostats; the one remote control is used on all the individual A/C units to adjust temps in different rooms. We went to the store several times to see Lily's sister who kindly sent messages to her for minor assistance like arranging departure airport taxi - she never contacted us or confirmed it but thankfully it was all set up when we departed. Her sister eventually gave us Lily's phone number but our cell phones weren't set up for international calls and the office phone in the mansion had no dial tone. Considering we spent the equivalent of a mortgage payment each night & the website lists concierge service we were disappointed in her total absence & the lack of availability/assistance on a few small items. On the positive side, we started each day with an amazing breakfast out on the patio prepared by Lily's mom Nadia. Amazing, home cooked, beautiful gourmet spread of fresh food prepared with such care and thoughtfulness. She was incredibly lovely, and also changed the towels and cleaned the villa each day. Beds were super comfy and linens were clean. Great wifi & air conditioner once you know how to operate it, Sonos speakers were great. Temps hovered around 95-99 degrees during our visit & we were unable to use the roof in the heat of the day - the rooftop really needs an umbrella to allow for a bit of shade. Note that there is only one bedroom with a view and it doesn't have its own bathroom so there is no master suite with view. Overall, we had a great visit but next time would probably stay in a hotel where there is concierge.
• Bluewater777 (10/5): Amazing!! Simply wonderful place to stay in Oia! - Oia Mansion is spectacular-- it is the perfect place to stay in Santorini. We had 5 people in our party (2 adults and 3 teenagers), and it was wonderful to have plenty of room. The location of the Oia mansion is absolutely fantastic. It is in the heart of the pedestrian area. The house itself is beautiful and well appointed. The terrace has incredible sunset views, even more brilliant than photographs can illustrate. Lily was a wonderful host. We arrived on Santorini by ferry from Naxos. I highly recommend having Lily arrange transportation in advance. It is definitely worth it in order to seamlessly arrive at the hotel. The driver took us to the post office in Oia. Lily and 2 guys then greeted us and took our luggage to the mansion. Lily gave us a lovely tour and also booked a day catamaran tour for us during our three night stay. Breakfasts are the Oia Mansion are amazing! Lily and her mother made us a delicious feast --eggs, cheeses, pastries, bacon, crepes, fruits.... My teens did not want to ever leave Oia! I would definitely highly recommend a catamaran tour. As it is Santorini, it was more expensive than the catamarans on other islands, but worth every euro. It is always wonderful to explore the islands from the water. It was our first time to Santorini and I am so very glad we decided to stay at Oia Mansion. It was such a wonderful stay and a splendid introduction to the island.
• familyof4travels (10/5): Paradise at Oia Mansion - This is in an absolute to die for location and everything about it was fabulous. We were a a group of 5 people - my husband and our 24 yo daughter and 21 yo son and his girlfriend. We all had an amazing time! Lilly was exceptional in taking care of all of our needs - what we wanted for breakfasts, dinner reservations, yoga instructor, towels, etc. The breakfasts made by Lilly's mother were exceptional - crepes, eggs, bacon, sausage, fruit, vegetables, fresh feta, everything we could desire. This is in a premier location - spectacular sunset view and just steps away from all the shops and restaurants. My only recommendation is that they get lounge chairs to lay on on the top deck. The couches were comfy, but the lounge chairs would have been nice. We were there in late May and despite a day of rather windy conditions, we had spectacular weather and Oia was not as busy as later in the summer. I would definitely recommend coming at this time. Also, we did have a snafu when we first arrived. I had booked transport from the airport through them and the guy wasn’t there. I called the number I had and they said someone else would call me back, and they did very quickly, but this person said she could find no record of my request for transport and would call me back. When she finally called back she still couldn’t find it, but while I was on the phone she did find it. Said she was sending someone and they would be there in 10 minutes. 30 minutes later no one there. So we talked to two taxi drivers (as we wouldn’t fit in one cab) and they said they would take us and it was only going to be 5 euro more than the van. So I called her back and told her that’s what we were doing. She insisted we stay because they were going to provide the transportation for free and the guy would be there any minute. I told her I was tired of waiting and this was not a great way to start a vacation and we were taking the taxis. I was steaming the whole ride to where we were set to meet the people that would take us to the house (as cars can’t go up there). But when we arrived, Lilly was there with two guys to bring up our luggage and she was sooooooo apologetic and paid the taxi drivers with cash right there so we wouldn’t have to. She was so embarrassed by what had happened. She recommended where we should go to dinner and while we were there she had someone from the transportation company come and personally apologize to us and offer to provide us a free tour of the island or transportation somewhere else. We already had booked all of our tours, etc. so we just had them provide the transport back to the airport when we were leaving. My feeling is, stuff happens, and it is how they rectify the situation when something like that occurs that matters more than that it happened in the first place. I was extremely pleased with how Oia Mansion handled the situation and would not hesitate to stay there again. I cannot wait to make a return trip!!
• 480leilas (10/5): Our family vacation - It's our first time in mansion villa. It was a great experience with perfect location we had the view of the most beautiful sunset in the earth. In each morning we had really great breakfast. I highly recommend this villa if you traveling in a big group or family.
• sebastiany2014 (10/5): Best option in Santorini - The Oia Mansion is truly paradise. We spent 2 nights in Oia and stayed with a group of 6 people. The winter season in Oia is very calm, most of the hotels and restaurants on the island of Santorini are closed. We arranged private transportation through the mansion for €90 each way. We where welcomed by the staff outside and given a tour of the mansion. The terrace on the top floor gives you spectacular 360 degree views of Oia. We have one issue with the jacuzzi, it won't heat up at all when it's cold outside so don't expect to use it if you are visiting in the winter. Breakfast is included, they will cook you a SPREAD of food (literally anything you want). This is the kind of place you stay in and enjoy all day, we didn't want to leave. The mansion is the definition of luxury, we sat around all day, drank champagne and listened to music. The staff was wonderful and willing to cater to all of our needs. Be aware, the staff does not stay on site. If you need them you can simple call them and they will come over from next door. Overall we had an amazing stay, it was one of the nicest places I've ever visited. If you have any questions feel free to message me directly.
