Close all the other tabs, pick this hotel instead.
Pros:

Room - awesome. Pool - wonderful. View - spectacular. Honestly my mind was blown at the view, and waking up there each morning was an absolute pleasure. I'm usually not a morning person, but when you're greeted with that view, it's hard not to smile each morning that you open your shutter doors. The cute little private balcony with breakfast table and chairs is a great feature too. Bed was sooooo comfy, I felt like I was in a cloud, and the bathroom, while small, was perfect size for me. The staff - oh my god, the staff were so great. I mainly interacted with Nikolina on front desk - wow, that's service! So nice from the moment I arrived to the moment I left, and so helpful and good at explaining things and even helped get me set up with an ATV company that picked me up from the villa. Then the breakfasts each morning were a delight. The staff greet you with a smile, and aside from the hot and continental breakfast, they bring you out a special daily surprise, that is a different Greek dish/treat each morning. What a great unique feature! I loved being surprised each morning! I honestly didn't want to leave. Proximity to everything in Firostefani is easy walking, and then bus to Fira is closeby, and then the villa is already on the path that leads to your hike to Oia. Couldn't have been easier in my opinion.

Cons:

I didn't like that I had to leave. That's it. Ok if I have to pick, I will pick one thing, only because if I was to read this review and the guy said nothing is wrong, I would be skeptical. So, I was there end of October, so it was a little chilly in the mornings and the evening. If the pool was heated at that time of year, it would've been nice to have morning and evening swims, because it was too cold otherwise, but on the last morning I jumped in anyway as I was determined to use it before my stay was over. That's it. Everything else - perfect.

Perfektes Preis/Leistungsverhältnis für Santorini
Pros:

Die Lage der Villa Ilias ist einfach perfekt und der Blick von der Terrasse traumhaft. Wir wurden freundlich empfangen (Transfer vom Hafen und später zum Flughafen war reibungslos) und bekamen gleich tolle Tipps für die Insel. Sicher, das Zimmer ist klein und es gibt wenig Schrankplatz, aber das sind auch die einzigen Mini-Kritikpunkte. Das Frühstück war reichhaltig und für jeden Geschmack was dabei. Zum Bus (2,-€ pro Fahrt) waren es ca 15 Minuten zu Fuß, um entferntere Ziele zu erreichen. Der Wanderweg Richtung Oia geht direkt am Haus vorbei und ist wärmstens zu empfehlen.

Cons:

Da gibt es nichts!

Pros:

飯店泳池位置可以看到無邊火山海景，

Cons:

我的二樓房間外有飯店發電設備之類的機器，整晚發出輕微機器嗡鳴聲，但我沒去反應，因為飯店房間客滿，不可能換房，有睡眠問題的旅人自行注意

Pros:

Calidad de atención: especialmente de Cristina de la recepción del hotel.

Ubicación del hotel: mejor, imposible. Estábamos en la habitación doble con balcón y vista hacia la caldera. Un paraíso.

Instalaciones muy buenas y desayunos muy rico y variado. El yogurt griego... Lo mejor👏🏽

Lo recomendaremos!
