Overall: Incredible!!! Would stay again!

Pros:

Staff is absolutely phenomenal! They met us at 2am and carried HEAVY bags down over one hundred steps. They were very responsive over WhatsApp and prompt with cleaning and offered great suggestions/help throughout. They also carried all of our luggage back up the steps to meet our cab at the end of our stay.

The most beautiful view we’ve ever seen. We stayed at the bottom of the cliff meaning lots of stairs but and uninterrupted view of the Caldera.

Close to the Fira walking path and shops/restaurants.

The room was clean and comfortable with a nice patio to sit on overlooking the Caldera. AC, hot water, drinking water brought to your room, everything you need.

Cons:

LOTS of stairs, but that’s also just Santorini for you too. Definitely good cardio multiple times each day!

Pool is more of a small plunge pool but works well for cooling off when laying in the sun.

Found a roach in our room, not the end of the world and somewhat expected given the location, but still isn’t pleasant to find.

Abbiamo soggiornato al Gorgona Villas a Imerovigli e ne siamo rimasti entusiasti! L’hotel si trova in una posizione panoramica perfetta, con una vista mozzafiato sulla caldera. Il personale è stato super gentile e sempre disponibile, attento a ogni esigenza. Le camere sono pulitissime e curate nei dettagli. C’è anche una piccola piscina ideale per rilassarsi con vista. Siamo davvero soddisfatti della scelta. Struttura consigliatissima!

Fabulous view

Awesome view and service. Selena and Nikos were very helpful and tried to make us as comfortable as possible. Breakfast was delicious and the guy who delivered it was very diligent and prompt. My only complaint was the a/c couldn’t keep our room cool, possibly due to the size. Highly recommended for view and service. Lots of steps so be prepared

This property is nestled between several very high end properties and has the same wonderful view. There is a small pool and plenty of quiet deck space to sun.
With that said, the front desk reception girl was probably the worst I’ve seen. Her English isn’t so good and she arranged for a manual versus automatic vehicle, despite me explaining I needed an automatic. In high season, it would have been impossible to fix. It’s also quite obvious they get kickbacks from anything they book for you, stating there are discounts through them or falsely stating excursions are booked up, but then when I went to the actual excursion office, there was plenty of availability and much better pricing.
To be noted… the hotel qualifies children 0-12 years where Expedia says up to 17. This became an expensive issue when I arrived. I was glad to pay the additional fees, but it was expensive and embarrassing and the front desk handled it so awfully.
Additionally, the room is quite cute but in need of updating. We could never get the tv to turn on. The bathroom paint was peeling and dated. We were not looking for fancy only the view.
I will say the breakfast delivered at the time you designate was quite excellent, though.

This place was amazing and the views blew us away! We felt we got the same incredible service and amenities as the neighboring high end places for a more reasonable cost. Service was phenomenal, Laura was amazing, so kind and so good at her job! Valeris was very helpful on guiding us and taking care of our luggage. We are very grateful to everyone for our stay and accommodating us with our unique schedule. The room was wonderful and very spacious. Morning breakfast delivered to our room was included and very delicious! It was also a 3min walk to the nearby bus stop which was very convenient. There’s lots of local shops, pharmacy and such for anything you may need. Fira was only a 15min walk away with a beautiful view as you walk down. If you’re travelling to Santorini you have to stay here!

The view of the caldera is amazing and the staff are all superior for their service. Being able to have breakfast brought to your personal table with a view of the caldera was a highlight of our trip. Don't try to find the hotel yourselves. Call the front desk and have the bell hops guide you to the office and carry your bags. The only negatives were the air conditioner had some trouble cooling the room to our liking and the shower sprayer often fell off the wall. Overall it was an excellent experience and I do recommend this hotel.

The location of my hotel room was very nice and I enjoy it for 2 nights. I was upgraded to another hotel with newer suites room the rest of my stay. It wasn't worth the upgrade. It was out below where I initially stayed. When I wanted my old room back within 2 hours I was told my room was no longer available. To my frustration and disappointment I told the lady to call the hotel manager at Gorgonas villa to get me another room from a nearby hotel since this upgrade room out of no where it not what I paid for. I paid for a beautiful view for 4 nights and less winds. Now I got more winds in front of my door to sit outside and enjoy whatever view I can see at the new location. My entire 3rd day was ruin from this ridiculous upgrade. Be warned about any upgrade the manager approach to you. Ask to actually see the upgrade location and room before you say yes. I will never make this mistake ever again. I felt trick into this worst deal of upgrade. I gave up my beautiful view in front of my room to new building in the middle of no where way down below. I got to see dry deserts of dirt, rocks and dry up grapes bushes and a donkey when I walk around my upgrade room. Thanks for the frustration day Spryros aka manager at Gorgonas villa. I put up with the bad smell and puddle of water waiting for me every morning. The workers are friendly and helpful. Lesson learned from this trip.

Gorgona Villas Rocks!!

This place is amazing! It exceeded all expectations. It was private and glamorous and the views just don’t get better! They bring you breakfast on your terrace that you eat overlooking the ocean. Laura and Spiros are the Greek God and Goddess of tourism. They provide World Class customer service and go above and beyond on each request. They don’t give you directions, they take you where you need to go.

Beautiful views from these villas. Truly stunning and our breakfast was served on the balcony each morning. The room and bathroom were basic, not very big but kept very clean. Also there’s only one shared jacuzzi pool outside another villa, so if people were in there then we couldn’t use it and they are the only rooms that have sunbeds, ours only had chairs. There’s also a lot of stairs to climb down or up to get to and from the room, so I wouldn’t recommend for anyone with mobility issues. People working there were also lovely

Amazing room, view, and service.

We loved our stay at Gorgona Villas! We needed a room for 1 couple and 1 adult child, so it's a little difficult to find a room for 3 on the caldera, but we had a beautiful room that could have slept 6! We could fill out our breakfast request the day before and then they would bring the breakfast to the room's front patio or upstairs terrace. Great service- super friendly lady at the reception. We rented a car and had a little trouble finding the place (don't try to use maps for a room on the caldera lol), but I would just call the hotel and have them give you a landmark to enter and you'll be fine. We stayed in early June and it was the perfect time before it gets too busy. Highly recommend.

Great views from my unit G2. Internet was a bit slow in my room but was able to use the 4G hotspot on my phone. The porters carried our bags up and down the steps to our room. A delightful stay that my wife and I really enjoyed. Jimmy's supermarket right next to resort to grab your water and snacks.

Hotel is situated in a great location along the cliffs with amazing views of the sea, volcano, and coastline in both directions. Our double room was cozy, but the private balcony was the best part. They served us a custom ordered breakfast to our balcony. We enjoyed the views and great food by just walking out the front door each morning.

Honeymoon Especial

Had an excellent stay for our honeymoon! The staff were very flexible and adaptable in getting us the room that we wanted. Breakfast is excellent and with spectacular scenery overlooking the caldera. The room was always clean and made up when we left for the afternoon. Imerovigli is a quiet neighbourhood (unlike Fira and Oia) but still with the quintessential Santorini white/blue and view. Apartments are tightly cramped on the caldera side so expect some close neighbours.

Will not be returning

Our booking was for a superior room. We were upgraded to one of the suites the first night. The room smelled moldy, which I initially thought was because of the humidity. The Jacuzzi in the living area got a tubful of water we couldn’t drain, with a handful of small dead flies floating on top. Bathrooms got no flat surface except for the toilet lid to put our shampoos etc. I gave it benefit of the doubt thinking maybe that the way it is there. On both of the beds there were no blankets. It was late so we had to walk up to the reception in the cold and carried the blankets back ourselves.
Our booking came with complimentary breakfast served in our room. With this upgrade, breakfast was not served and we had to go to one of their cafes instead. It was fine if we didn’t have to spend 10 mins to lock the front door. When we head out, again we spent another 10 mins trying to lock the front door but no luck. We had to leave the front door wide open, drop off our key at the reception for them to bring our luggages.
The superior room we had the next day was a lot nicer, with things you expect in a hotel room to be there. Even the staff said the room was newly redecorated so I wonder how was the first night an upgrade?
It’s disappointing they called the first night an upgrade. We would’ve said ok if they told us upfront they overbooked and need to move us to a spare room with a discount for that night. I am sure we won’t be returning with all the options available.

Location eccezionale per il panorama. Personale cordiale e disponibile . Ottima colazione servita direttamente sul balconcino all'orario prescelto dal cliente. Potrebbe essere migliorata la pulizia, comunque buona ed essere aggiunto qualche accessorio per un maggior comfort (es. portasapone in bagno, salviette in carta). Nel complesso davvero molto soddisfatta del soggiorno.

Colazione privata con vista: non ha prezzo ...

Abbiamo soggiornato una settimana in questo hotel.
Camera Villa Marinos, a picco sulla caldera, che garantiva privacy e vista meravigliosa. A disposizione anche terrazza privata più grande con ombrellone e lettini, sempre in posizione panoramica ottimale. Camera ristrutturata di recente, bella ed ottimamente equipaggiata. Ottima colazione da ricordare anche e soprattutto in quanto servita sulla terrazza della camera: mangiare in completa privacy avendo sotto lo sguardo uno dei panorami più belli del mondo ... non ha prezzo.
Personale molto disponibile.
Per quanto riguarda il prezzo: caro in assoluto, ma conveniente rispetto alla media di Imerovigli, che è decisamente alta.
Unico limite: non ha una piscina adeguata. Da questo, forse, anche il prezzo più contenuto.
Consigliabile: ci torneremmo anche domani ...
