Kokkinos Villas

Many of the reviews mention the stairs and if you take one thing away with you from this fabulous location it'll be well-worked calves!

We had booked for just one night because we were island-hopping and wanted somewhere with a view for the final night before our flight. What a view. Oh my goodness...what a view. The owner upgraded us on arrival so rather than a two-bedroom apartment we got a two-bedroom apartment with outdoor jacuzzi overlooking the caldera. Did I mention the view? It was stunning.

Actually, considering we were literally in and out inside 18 hours, the owner could not have been more hospitable. There was a free bottle of wine, a free lift into town, a recommendation for a restaurant that turned out to be the best place we went all holiday and in the morning he drove his minibus down the cliff road so that we didn't have to drag our bags back up the hill to meet the taxi. All of this and he refused every single offer of a tip from us.

If you're looking to stay somewhere that will take your breath away both literally and metaphorically then I cannot recommend Kokkinos Villas enough.... ++

We went to Santorini in our honeymoon and the choice of the hotel couldn’t be better! The view from our room was insane! The breakfast was good and the staff were very kind and nice with us. They helped us to rent a car, with the places to eat as soon as we arrived because we were late because of the delay on our flight. The room was very comfortable and clean. There is a stairs to go up to leave the hotel, but I swear every single step worth. We are very glad and happy with all. Thank you so much you all, in special the reception girl that o forgot to get the name, but she is very polite and kind, willing to help. Thank you so much... ++

We were kindly welcomed by Antoni, the hotel manager, who helped us with our bags, he parked our car himself and showed us to the wonderful apartment with stunning views of the sea and the caldera. Internally it had all the amenities of a spacious bathroom and kitchen. He then gave us valuable instructions on places to visit and restaurants to eat. The complete breakfast with selected products from the region was always selected by us the day before. Every day the apartment was cleaned with care and bathroom and kitchen products were replenished. We will certainly return to this incredible hotel located in one of the best spots on the island, quiet as it is a certain distance from the noisy and crowded places of Oia and Imeroville and with a breathtaking view of the Aegean Sea and the caldera.... ++
