The owners of the hotel made us feel so welcome and looked after. Nothing was too much to ask for. The hotel is spotless and has beautiful views of the caldera and is very well situated with local shops and a bus stop for Fira a 10 minute walk away. There is also a quad bike rental place next door to the hotel where we got an amazing price for our rental. I cannot recommend this hotel strongly enough, thank you for making our holiday perfect!

Property is very nice and relaxing (had to find it with help from Google Maps listed as a "restaurant"). It is up a hill. Room was very good, clean, olive oil soap, balcony, view. Staff friendly, good breakfast. Akrotiri is a more secluded area, it is walkable through pathways to a few shops.

Amazing stay, Santorini is magical!

The most amazing stay at Villa Galinia. The family that run the villa were incredibly welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. The accommodation was clean, the breakfast fresh and tasty and the views simply stunning. I fell in love with my room & the location & will certainly be back again soon. Thank you!

It's a well maintained property with helpful staff and a nice overall experience. However the area it's located in is at a fair distance from most of the real touristy spots of Santorini and hence the place feels a bit overpriced.

Wonderful Hosts!

The proprietors were amazing and welcoming. The property was lovely, and the rooms were nice. Like many beds we experienced in Greece, they were a bit firm and in need of an upgrade if you were going to spend a week there. The breakfast and hosts more than made up for it though! We would love to visit again!

Un hôtel reposant à Santorin

Une institution familiale bien tenue. Les propriétaires sont au petit soin. L’établissement est un peu isolée a 10mn de l’arrêt de bus pour Fira, mais pour le coup au calme surtout par rapport à la foule de Fira. La vue sur mer est belle et l’hôtel faisant restaurant, il est pratique d’y prendre les dîners. Cuisine simple mais savoureuse et d’un excellent rapport qualité prix pour Santorin.
