Wonderful place to stay and explore Santorini. Great buffet breakfast each morning included. Provided for a reasonable fee transport from ship arrival to airport flight onward on our trip. Very friendly, helpful staff. Tremendous view from room and just steps from walking path that takes you to countless shops and restaurants.

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. Hotel staff also arranged rental car for us and rental car pick up and drop off was from hotel itself, which was really convenient. I loved my stay there. Would definitely recommend staying there.

I'm leaving a review of my short stay in Korea. Despite an unexpected flight delay and an evening check-in, the hotel manager kindly provided guidance on check-in procedures, including late-night self-check-in. Located at the top of the mountain, the climb from the Fira bus stop was a bit challenging, but the breathtaking views made it worth it. The sunset view from the hotel was truly impressive, and I was able to enjoy the night view from the hotel without having to go to the sunset point.

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

I’ve just left Villa Ilias after three fantastic nights stay! It’s a small and very friendly hotel with exceptional staff members - always at hand, very helpful and incredibly friendly!
I stayed in the top floor suite (Ilias Monadikos suite) and the room was rather compact but very well equipped, very clean and comfortable. The outstanding feature of this room is the terrace; it’s huge, completely private and with the best view of the caldera in Santorini!
The area is very quiet and peaceful but there are several restaurants and shops in the area and Fira is just a short walk away.
All in all I am super happy with my stay and wish to forward my greatest thanks to the staff for making my stay memorable and relaxing!

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!
