The location was ideal—just steps away from the main town of Fira while still offering peace and comfort. The breakfast service was out of this world. You simply fill out a form with your choices, and they bring a beautifully pre...

Fira town was just a short walk aw...

Irene, Emi and Kosta were incredible! The rooms were beautiful and well equipped, with complementary fruits and wine upon arrival, as well as an extravagant breakfast included. They made it so easy to book taxis and excursions, gave us excellent food recommendations and were just overall so friendly and welcoming. They also took care of our belongings as we explored the island after our check out ...

We loved the hot tub, the staff, the breakfast, the location, and the view of course. Nothing else to say! It was the best leg of our trip.

My family and I had the pleasure of staying at Irene City Villas for my birthday! We had the grand suite that was beautiful and very clean. The workers were all amazing especially Emi who went above and beyond from the moment we arrived. She was very tentative and even helped us get a sunset boat tour which was amazing as well. We Definitely recommend them and will return again one day 🩷
