Guest Reviews
- Amy (9/5): My best friends of 25+ years and I traveled to Greece and had the most incredible trip. This villa was amazing and we wo - The most incredible views and location. Maria was great! The rooms felt a little damp.
- Robert (10/5): - Great location and very good service on what’s app from Maria. Perfect view in Santorini
- Oliver (8/5): - great location and view Sewage smell in the bathroom.
Worst host ever.
- Eirinic (1/5): Ananda Infinity - The convenient location, and the outdoor areas of the property; it is only a few minutes walking from Firostefani square and an easy hike to Fira, and the little courtyard is beautiful. The case of Ananda Infinity exemplifies perfectly all that has gone wrong in Santorini the past 10-15 years; amateurism, opportunism, and services that cater only to those who visit the island in search of online content.
We booked this place as a group of 6, which included a 3-year-old, believing that it was worth splurging for a peaceful and conveniently-located place, that would offer high quality services.
What we got was:
- Dirty rooms, that lacked the basics (i.e. towels, extra blankets, and basic kitchen items).
- Very outdated air conditioners: the one in the main room sounds like a washing machine, and the one in our room on the top floor leaked. The latter prevented us from using it, thus having to sleep in an incredibly humid room, where it wasn't safe to charge my phone (see attached pic).
- A blatant refusal to store our luggage for 2 hrs upon our check-out, a service that is as common place as providing a bathroom.
- Hostile management and customer service from early on, which ranged from making assumptions (they thought I was trying to negotiate the price, when I simply asked them to store our luggage), to accusing us for breaking the air conditioner without any evidence. Interestingly no one was checking in the day of our departure so to be offered a late check-out or be allowed to leave our luggage in the courtyard, but we weren't deemed worthy of that courtesy either.
- Factual and vague responses to very ordinary requests such as daily housekeeping etc (“we want you to have a great stay” - but did nothing about this).
As a final note to booking.com, I am happy to provide evidence for all the above allegations, in case this review is disputed.
EDIT: I was called "manipulative" by the property, for simply stating the facts and willing to provide evidence, which further proves my point in regards to lack of professionalism on behalf of the management.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Great Location But poor service not a luxury stay - The property is not worth for the price, service is like a cheap hotel.
Property location and view is good.
After checkin, there was no slippers, no soap in the bathrooms, internet in two rooms were not working. The internet and soaps were sorted out next day.
House cleaning was done at 2PM when it was our time to sleep and it was rushed.
One of the room on ground floor was smelly.
So if you are looking for luxury stay don't book this place.
- Hurihanganui (9/5): Superb -
- Kiecza (10/5): We highly recommend this spectacular villa. - This was perhaps the most beautiful place we have ever stayed. The view of the caldera is amazing. There were many places to sit outside and every one of them had a fantastic view. There was a great jacuzzi, plus AC, and Wifi. The location was perfect because it wasn't as insanely busy as other places on the island and yet we had access to great restaurants and shops. Our contact was great - very helpful, very responsive, and kind. While two of the bedrooms were great, the third bedroom seemed damp (with a bit of odor). It was unclear if it was a chronic issue.
- Lisa (10/5): I wish I could live here - The location was excellent. Close enough to walk to hustle and bustle of Firo but far enough away to be more peaceful. The views were absolutely stunning!!!! And the villa had many different levels and sitting areas to bask in the view. Hot tub was awesome. Villa itself was beautiful, very comfortable and very clean.
It is a very romantic setting. The only reason I didn’t recommend for romance is because it’s 3 bedrooms so probably better for families. Although each bedroom was very private and I’m sure my daughter and boyfriend had a very romantic time in their own room . They were on top level - very private Nothing. It was perfect
- Lucy (10/5): overdelivered - location was outstanding host was amazing 10/10 abit more coffee :)
- Anonymous (3/5): Beautiful view but not worth the $$ - Gorgeous views and great location. Property is not accessible via car so there is a lengthy walk to get luggage to the villa and there is no staff to help. For the rates we paid there should be more amenities. The villa was not cleaned regularly. Our last day the beds were not even made and the kitchen was not restocked (coffee pods, paper towels etc.) When we turned the shower on, it smelled like rotten eggs. We were told nothing could be done about it. Inside was also not as “new” as pictures would indicate. I would not stay here again.
- Stefanie (10/5): Exceptional - Absolutely gorgeous villa and view! We didn't book enough time in the villa! Could have stayed here a week and just looked at the view!
- Emma (10/5): outstanding - amazing location. great views and amazing helpful staff. nothing
- Peter (9/5): Plenty of room with perfect sunset views. - It was perfectly located and the views of the caldera were AMAZING. The rooms were spacious and clean. It was perfect for 3 couples. The property manager, Deena was very welcoming and informative. The beds were too firm and the main bedroom bed slats creaked. The main area heating and AC controls were sluggish to respond. There were not enough paper products for the kitchen and 3 bathrooms.
- Dana (10/5): - Ananda Infinity was a beautiful property with a view to match. I couldn't have asked for a better spot for a vacation. Mrs. Konstantina was helpful at check in and gave us an overview of the island as well that was super helpful. I would highly recommend Ananda Infinity.
- Ravi (10/5): Luxurious stay - Dear Ananda Infinity Ferostafani team,
I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the amazing stay I had at your hotel. From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the breathtaking view from my room. The panoramic vista of the surrounding mountains and the city below was absolutely spectacular and left me awestruck.
Not only was the view incredible, but the room itself was immaculate and well-maintained. It was evident that a great deal of effort had gone into ensuring that the room was spotlessly clean and comfortable for guests. The bed was plush and comfortable, and the amenities provided were of a high standard.
The staff at Ananda Infinity Ferostafani were extremely welcoming and attentive to my needs throughout my stay. They were always on hand to answer any questions I had and to ensure that my stay was as comfortable as possible. The hotel facilities were also top-notch, and I enjoyed spending time at the swimming pool and gym.
Overall, my stay at Ananda Infinity Ferostafani was truly wonderful, and I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing and luxurious stay. The view alone is worth the price of admission, and the clean and comfortable room and attentive staff only add to the overall experience.
Thank you for making my stay so memorable.
Sincerely, every thing was super , everything i liked:)
- Steve (10/5): Exceptional -
- Linda (10/5): it was a great place - perfect view, very clean, Maria the manager was great a little difficult to walk up all the stairs with luggage to get to the bedroom
- Mary (10/5): Exceptional - it was a great location and wonderful for a group
- Ungureanu (10/5): Exceptional - the pictures are 100% real .Wonderful
- Lee (9/5): Superb - great location, great views, air conditioning throughout Iron doesn’t work, WiFi stopped working after 1st day and even when it worked, was spotty. Couldn’t store our luggage at the condo and had to drop our luggage off at a luggage storage place after checking out because our flight out wasn’t until later.
- tonya (4/5): - The pros- beautiful property in a great location. Cons- communication was difficult. Also, be warned that this property is completely inflexible regarding check in and check out and there is no where to store your luggage and they will not help you find a solution, despite their claims of having “concierge” services. We had a 2 hour gap between arrival and check in and a 4 hour gap of time between check out and our ferry departure and were not allowed early or late check out (understandable) but they also would not assist with alternatives and then failed to show up at the meeting place to pick us up. On the day we left, the maid just came into the villa 30 min before departure time without any notice. When I brought these issues up with our host, her responses were curt and rude, quite opposite to what I have experienced in other places I have stayed in Greece.
- Martin (10/5): Simply Unbelievable - I am a well travelled person and was really concerned about staying at a place other than a traditional hotel. What to expect and how would I find out about everything. What an absolute pleasant surprise.....service was amazing. Before I left, I received a Whatsapp from Maria and then Maria was available on arrival to take care of our every need....transport from the airport, where to go, where to eat, reservations made throughout....it was like having a concierge service on standby 24 hours a day....the place is fantastic and perfectly located. I am certainly going back...WOW!!!! Thank you Maria.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - AMAZING!!! Cozy , amazing service, respectful and you feel like in the movie mamma mia
