The place was even better than the photos show. The staff here are super friendly and the place was very clean. The breakfast provided is actually a real breakfast and not just a coffee and croissant. They were able to check us in early which was helpful since our flight arrives earlier on. The view from the pool was breathtaking as we saw so many beautiful sunsets from the pool deck. The location is close to everything

Great location. Hotel staff is very friendly and always there to help. On our arrival the person at reception Yarris explained how we can cover different things at island which was really helpful. Hotel staff also arranged rental car for us and rental car pick up and drop off was from hotel itself, which was really convenient. I loved my stay there. Would definitely recommend staying there.

We had an excellent stay at Villa Ilias and would highly recommend it. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and incredibly helpful from start to finish. They assisted with check-in, arranged transportation before and during our stay, and provided great recommendations for restaurants and things to do. They really made everything easy. We stayed in the Superior Room with the partial caldera view. The room was beautiful, very clean, and well maintained. The balcony was one of our favourite features—it was the perfect place for a morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening. Breakfast offered a great variety of fresh options each morning, and the outdoor seating area was a lovely place to start the day. The pool and lounge area were well maintained, and we never had trouble finding chairs, no matter what time we went. The location in Firostefani was ideal. It was quiet and relaxing, while still being an easy walk to Fira and nearby villages. There were also several excellent restaurants just steps from the hotel. Overall, Villa Ilias exceeded our expectations. It’s a fantastic place to stay whether you’re travelling as a couple, with friends, or as a family. We would definitely stay here again.
