Fantastic views from the hillside overlooking the port. Walking distance to town. Friendly and supportive staff.

Not at all significant, but the rooms are literally caves dug into rock. No windows, only the light from doorway enters the room. Wish there were more options for access to the island. A ferry strike stranded us for one day in Paris. As a result we had to pay an extra night there plus the scheduled night at the Vasilicos. No fault of the hotel, who required full payment in advance, but disappointing that we were charged full price for a missed night due to a strike.

It's difficult to put into words just how wonderful a place The Vasilicos is. From the stunning views, tranquility and beauty of the place, to the exceptional staff - everything is perfect. We spent a week on the island and saw a lot of it, as well as a number of hotels as we hiked around. None of them looked like they had quite what The Vasilicos has to offer. With only a handful of rooms, the hotel is secluded and a haven from the busier areas of the island. As a result, everything is catered to your needs - the staff go above and beyond and are intuitive and attentive - while the whole place is so elegantly yet simply furnished with some lovely touches and personalised elements. Breakfast is superb, brought to your room at a time of your choosing, and the chef is brilliant - do take the opportunity of having dinner brought to you while you're there. If you're undecided on which of the many impressive hotels to stay in while you're on Santorini - stop, and book The Vasilicos. The only downside is you won't want to leave once you get there!

Breakfast was well balanced and taiilored to our preferences, brought to our patio at requested time. The fresh fruit platter was perfect. Privacy of the property was amazing allowing for enjoyment of the views (daytime and sunset) without the crowds. We stayed in the Daphne suite and especially enjoyed the shower with a view of the Caldera and having 2 separatw sinks. Restaurants, markets and boutiques were walking distance away. The restaurant adjacent to the property was great if you did not feel like walking far. Staff was attentive to out requests and took great care in maintaining the property. Rental car was brought to us and catamaran cruise arrangements were taken care of by the staff.

Nothing to not like.

There are so many amazing things about this hotel that it's hard to know where to begin! Staying here truly feels like you are in paradise. Everything was so perfect from the food, the view, location, and staff. When we arrived, Dimitris upgraded us to the ‘Daphne’ room. The view was incredible, the bed was comfortable, and the service was unbeatable. The breakfast served every morning was a highlight of our trip and it felt like we were staying at the hotel alone. The location is central, right near most of the upscale restaurants and a bit away from the most touristy areas. Dimitris went above and beyond to help us book activities and recommended a few amazing restaurants for us to try out while we were on the island. We will definitely be back to the Vasilicos!

The Vasilicos is a beautiful property and typical of what you should expect for the price and location. We stayed in the Pergola Suite and it was luxurious, clean and very well serviced. The service we received from all staff was exceptional but we would like to call out the work of Dimitris, Chris and the chef in particular. So responsive and accommodating!! We loved the pool as well, I spent hours in there.

There is a certain lack of privacy that was not well advertised. And ours was one of the more private suites in the complex.

The entire property is very elegant with private rooms and exceptional views. These are the best views of the caldera. The entire staff's warm and personalized service was truly special. A big shout out to Dimitris and Chris and chef John and everyone in housekeeping! My toddler celebrated her 3rd birthday here and the staff made a surprise birthday cake for her which made her day! The service has been above and beyond in general. This is a boutique property with just seven suites. This makes it a truly elevated experience in Santorini that would be hard to replicate. I cannot say enough about the view from the expansive private terrace of our suite! We didn’t want to go anywhere else with a view like that! Perks also include excellent breakfast served at your room with a view and convenient on-site parking.

Vasilicos is such a beautiful heritage property with Caldera view. Quiet and yet convenient. Good breakfast provided and staff are superb. Dimitris Zdrava is so friendly, helpful, caring, the best I ever met. He always walk around the property to make sure every thing is ok with the guests. I left my splint in a small box when I checked out. Only knew it after arrived Athens. I wrote to Vasilicos to check. Dimitris checked with housekeeping and found it. I requested him to help me send back. He took the trouble to go post office for me. I am so impressed by his excellent attitude and extra effort put in. He always replies email promptly. Other staff like Chris who brought our breakfast, carried our luggage, is very polite and attentive too. Cleaners are also very friendly.

Everything. We stayed in the King Cat and it was perfect. We even had a regular cat visitor! The view of the caldera, the staff, the location—quiet and away from the chaos of Oia and Fira—but close enough to walk to town. The details and the toiletries in the rooms are so thoughtful, the food (especially the breakfast) is excellent, and every single staff person is lovely. The view from the pool though, is reason enough to come. Breathtaking, and the silence! It’s so quiet, unbelievably peaceful. Also, for LGBTQ travelers, the whole island, this hotel on particular was so great. No questions about “are you sisters?”. Just so welcoming.

The location of the villa was great. Very private and away from crowds and very easy to get to. The rooms were huge, the beds and pillows were extraordinary. One of the best things would be the staff. All of them were very friendly and helpful to helping us have the best experience in Santorini. Airport transfer, car rental, restaurant choices, were all settled by them. We felt we were really well taken care of and thus able to have an awesome time in Santorini.

The Vasilicos in Santorini is an extraordinary hotel that exceeded all our expectations. The breathtaking views of the caldera are simply unforgettable. We loved the delicious breakfasts, prepared with fresh ingredients, and enjoyed it on our private terrace overlooking the caldera. The staff's warmth and attentiveness made our stay even more special, providing impeccable service with a genuine personal touch. We can't wait to return to this little slice of paradise! Thanks Kris, Dimitris and RJ ❤️

We loved everything!!!!
