On behalf of my wife and myself, we look forward to staying at Villa Ilias on our next visit to Santorini. Efhar...

I think we were very lucky to choose this hotel! The best location on the island with a wonderful view. Very attentive staff, every morning during breakfast they served different national dishes, everything was very tasty. We traveled around the whole island and this is really the best view you can get on the island.

We could not have had a more pleasant stay at Hotel Ilias! Great location in the quieter town of Firastefani, and an easy walk to the heart of Fira. The hotel is directly off the footpath. The pool views are gorgeous. The staff was kind and attentive, and breakfast was a highlight. If we ever return to Santorini, I would absolutely stay here again.

Good value for money. The view of Santorini and sunset view the hotel had was way better than my expectations. They have a decent swimming pool, good place to chill and relax during your stay. Their service is very nice, they offer homemade breakfast every morning with a complementary dessert which is different every day and very tasty!

They even gifted us two crepes and they had a professional coffee machine. Basically nothing t...
