Amber Light Villas Santorini

Lovey place to stay with friendly staff

Wonderful stay at Amber Lights Villas! We spent a week in the hotel and had a great stay - the rooms are beautiful wach with their own peivate terrace areas so feel very private. All the staff were super helpful and welcoming, helping us will arranging taxis, transfers and advice on the island. The only downside is that the location is pretty remote and mainly accessible by car. If you do not have a car/taxi then the walk to the nearest main road is via a very steep uphill walk however you could easily enjoy a trip only staying at the hotel!

It was chilly but the room and resort was beautiful.

It was clean and the staff was very nice and helpful

Property was good and the was staff was nice

Room had a smell from the sea drift but they cleaned immediately to get rid of it. It would be great if they have something on doors on windows to explain how to open and close them as Americans have never seen that setup :) and may get worried they broke something when its actually how they open

Clean, spacious rooms and helpful staff, but overall disappointing for the price. The location isn’t walkable—no paved road, no restaurants or cafés nearby—so a rental car for the duration of the stay is a must. The view looks nice only at night or from certain angles, the real view from the balcony is very underwhelming. Breakfast was very limited with almost no fresh fruit, not what you’d expect at $500/night. Charging €2 for Nespresso pods felt offensive. Staff try their best, but with only one person at the desk, check-in/out can be slow.
Spacious rooms and good service, but it’s not for those expecting a signature Santorini view, walkability, or luxury breakfast options.

The property is beautiful and in a very peaceful, quiet location. The staff is very friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. I would highly recommend renting a car to get around because there is nothing in walking distance. The bar ran out of beer which was a bummer and breakfast was cold every morning (but very good). A second coffee machine would have been nice as there was a line to use it each morning. Overall a great place to stay!

The property, rooms, and staff are fantastic. The location of the hotel was the only negative. There is nothing within walking distance, so be prepared to spend €20-30 on each ride to town or rent a vehicle. If you don’t mind spending money on transportation then you can’t go wrong with this hotel.

Room was ready before time great

Hotel is beautiful and relaxing with good facilities. Staff were friendly and polite. It’s in one of the quieter parts of Santorini and Imerovigli where the hotel is located is at a higher altitude, so if you are going for a short trip then I would recommend hiring a car, it will enhance the experience to enjoy beauty of Santorini and do other excursions easily since walk upto the bus stop is very steep and exhausting. Except for the private pool and a big swimming pool downstairs there are not other entertainment option for kids. Breakfast was decent and view of sunrise from the room was breathtaking.

Staff were all very nice and hospitable. Getting to wake up and open our bedroom door and seeing the sunrise everyday was definitely worth it. Definitely a little off the path from the main hustle and bustle but I liked it cause you had way more privacy and peace from the masses in the main towns. So a renting a car or atv is clutch if staying here. Really enjoyed our stay. Would definitely come back! Thank you amber light villas!

I had a terrible experience at Amber Light Villa, particularly with the receptionists. The other staff members, such as the housemaids, restaurant staff, and bellboys, were very nice and friendly, though.

When I checked in, the receptionist informed me that we would have to use the towels for two days without changing them. There were no complimentary bottles of water or coffee; they charged for everything. The restaurant's opening hours were from 8 to 10 AM and 2 to 11 PM, which meant we couldn't have lunch there. Additionally, since the villa is located in the middle of nowhere, there was no transportation available. As a result, I had to rent a small car for only two people at a cost of 75 Euros per day, and I had to buy water and coffee from grocery stores.

We stayed in a room that was supposed to have a hot tub, but it wasn't heated at all. The shower did not drain properly, and the bathroom became very humid after each shower.

On the day of check-out, the receptionist tried to charge me for five bottles of water and two coffee pods that I didn't use. She said she would check with the housemaid. When I inquired about the charges, she casually said, "It doesn’t matter." If I hadn't asked, I would have been charged for those items.

I tipped the housemaid $40 for her services, but I don't believe I should have to pay this resort for items I didn't use. The villa should have clearly stated that they wouldn’t change towels every day and adjusted their pricing accordingly.

Lovely stay here. Very relaxing with amazing views (especially for the sunrise). Very attentive staff. A great stay all in all.

Exceptionally great and quiet location. Room was outstanding. Staff was excellent. Service and convenience was covered by taxi's and were available within 20 minutes of request.

We were looking for a quiet getaway and this was a super option. We like walking and made it to Imerovigli and Fira easily. But not easy walking.

I loved having a private pool. It’s quite a hike up a steep hill if you’re trying to walk anywhere, but the property and staff were amazing!

Communication was not timely

Firstly I would like to say the room was amazing, the balcony and private pool was a great commodity and the barman / Waiter was very polite and worked very hard to make our stay as good as possible.
Unfortunately that's where the good stuff ends, the location was good as long as you had the money to travel by taxi everywhere as all other options were not very accessible.
The air con in our room had to be turned off and on every ten minutes to reset it to get it work.
The thing that was the most disappointing was the fact that a stray cat was always at the restaurant area, I am aware that the Greeks like cats, but it is very unhygienic especially as stray cats carry many diseases that can be fatal to humans, also I am allergic to cats and they had no consideration for this, no signs and the staff and other guests were feeding the cats hence why they stay around the restaurant this is not acceptable.
The restaurant food was okay but the food and drinks were expensive. The breakfast was terrible, cold and soggy food with poor selection and poor options for breakfast time drinks.
The cleaners weren't great at re stocking toilet roll. The taxis recommended by the hotel were expensive, I understand this may not be there fault. I would recommend that they sort out the cat issue and increase the quality of the breakfast, also installing some kind of convenience shop would make this stay much more convenient.

Excellent amenities, helpful staff, ATV rental to get around the island. Beautiful rooms and good variety for breakfast. We'll be back!
