We had an excellent stay at Villa Ilias and would highly recommend it.

The staff were friendly, welcoming, and incredibly helpful from start to finish. They assisted with check-in, arranged transportation before and during our stay, and provided great recommendations for restaurants and things to do. They really made everything easy.

We stayed in the Superior Room with the partial caldera view. The room was beautiful, very clean, and well maintained. The balcony was one of our favourite features—it was the perfect place for a morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening.

Breakfast offered a great variety of fresh options each morning, and the outdoor seating area was a lovely place to start the day.

The pool and lounge area were well maintained, and we never had trouble finding chairs, no matter what time we went.

The location in Firostefani was ideal. It was quiet and relaxing, while still being an easy walk to Fira and nearby villages. There were also several excellent restaurants just steps from the hotel.

Overall, Villa Ilias exceeded our expectations. It’s a fantastic place to stay whether you’re travelling as a couple, with friends, or as a family. We would definitely stay here again.

The place was even better than the photos show. The staff here are super friendly and the place was very clean. The breakfast provided is actually a real breakfast and not just a coffee and croissant. They were able to check us in early which was helpful since our flight arrives earlier on. The view from the pool was breathtaking as we saw so many beautiful sunsets from the pool deck. The location is close to everything

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!

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!

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 ;)

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.
Breakfasts on the terrace by George were delicious, Eleni answered all our questions and her recommendations were best, so time was used smartly and we managed to see best places.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!!!

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.

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.

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

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.
