The Vasilicos

The location is absolutely perfect just 2 minutes walk from Imerovigli, quiet and very private. The rooms are gorgeous, full of character and facilities are fantastic but above all the service from the team was absolutely wonderful! They could not have made us feel more at home, nothing was too much trouble they were charming, engaging and great fun to be around.. we had such a wonderful stay here! If we ever come back to Santorini we would definitely come back to stay here .. it’s is just magical

Nothing at all

Magnifique, copieux, varié et original chaque jour servi à l'heure de notre convenance, sur notre terrasse !

tout est magnifique !

Everything was perfect. The view, the room, the location, the food, but special mention to the wonderful staff. Manos and Chris were incredible, as were the ladies who cleaned the rooms. We will definitely be recommending The Vasilicos to everyone.

Such great view. And super clean

Nothing

Une vue a couper le souffle

Rien

Le personnel est au petit soin: manos est la seule personne de l’île que l’on ai rencontré qui parlait français; un excellent français qui plus est, et force est de constater que c’est très agréable d’échanger dans sa langue maternelle. L’endroit est magique, tant pour sa vue que pour sa situation géographique; à côté du centre ville et à côté de Fira! De plus, on peut y laisser notre véhicule et pour clôturer le tout, des restos très sympas jouxtent l’hôtel : une véritable merveille! Je me le suis « offert » pour mon anniversaire et c’est largement au dessus de ce que j’attendais: le petit déjeuner 😋😍🙏🥰😍! Bref 10/10

Ras

La vue est phénoménale ! J’ai adoré aussi le soin et l’attention du personnel.

Excellent. Fresh and delicious.

Nothing. Outstanding property and staff. Could not have asked for more.

Amazing views of the Caldera. We stayed in Daphne suite which is very roomy for three. The patio and semi private pool were wonderful. We very much enjoyed breakfast on the patio each morning and a private dinner with excellent seafood. The staff gets an A++. Krystos and Manos were very professional, friendly, and made sure that all of our needs were met.

Beautiful. I think it’s the best property on the island.

We chose The Vasilicos for our stay in Santorini, and it was hands down the best decision we made. While the rest of the island can feel overwhelming with cruise ship crowds, this property is gated, completely private. Because the property blocks out non guests, you can watch the sunset from your terrace without strangers crowding your space for photos. What truly elevates this place from a hotel to an unforgettable experience is the incredible team. The staff to guest ratio feels like 1:1, and they are hands down the most genuinely warm, friendly, and hospitable people we’ve ever met (Manos, Chris, Danny and every single member of the team). Service is extremely fast whether you need a drink, a local recommendation, they are on it immediately with a smile. They anticipate your every need before you even ask, making you feel less like a hotel guest and more like cherished family.

Difficile de dire ce qu'on a préféré quand tout était aussi parfait. La vue est sans doute la plus belle de toute l'île. Aucune photo n'est capable de traduire la beauté sidérante du cadre. La chambre est d'un charme exquis et très agréable. Le petit déjeuner est exceptionnel. Mais ce qui fait toute la différence c'est l'attention et la gentillesse de tout le personnel (Manos, Christos, Rj, Elli, Cyrile et Dani).

Rien à dire.

From the first “hello,” we were treated like honored guests. Perched above the caldera, the rooms offered spectacular views of both Imerovigli and Fira, with an elegant, serene aesthetic. A delicious breakfast was delivered to our room each morning; we were truly pampered. Everything rated a 10+, but the warm, attentive service, along with wonderful recommendations and genuine hospitality, made our stay truly exceptional.10++

Beautiful outlook, lovely staff and a great location for restaurants. Manos, Chris and team ensured we had everything we needed. The breakfast and coffee are substantial and very tasty. The rooms and bed were lovely with a beautiful outlook.

Jeder der nach Santorini will, sollte diese Unterkunft buchen. Die Aussicht ist eine 12/10, direkter Caldera-Blick. Sehr freundliches, professionelles Team, es riecht so gut und die Suite ist sehr sauber. Täglich frische Handtücher. Das Frühstück war vielfältig und sehr lecker. Ich würde diese Unterkunft immer wieder buchen. Was einem ins Auge sticht, sind die kleinen Details. Die Suiten wurden mit Liebe ausgestattet.

Es ist alles wunderbar

Un cadre magique et une vue à couper le souffle. Le personnel aux petits soins et très discret. Chaque attention et chaque detail raffiné... Merci beaucoup à Manos pour ce séjour parfait. Je recommande 1000 fois.

Lokacija in ustrežljivost osebja.

Pogrešal sem kavni avtomat na kapsule v sobi.

Une équipe au top pour l'accueil ( ils ont réussi à nous installer beaucoup plus tôt que prévu et dans une plus grande chambre ), toujours à l'écoute, disponibles, qui parlent bien français et de très bons conseils. Lieu magique; aussi bien l'hôtel que la vue.Tres bien placé pour visiter à la fois Fira et Imerovigli, à pied.

Rien.

Tout, l’emplacement, la vue, le personnel disponible, le parking privé et gratuit et le petit déjeuner.

Absolument tout : l’emplacement est exceptionnel, les chambres sont magnifiques, le petit déjeuner de Christos est délicieux, et différent tous les jours. Manon est aux petits soins. Je rajouterai que Imerovigli est un très bon choix de spot, ont a le côté typique de Oia sans la foule

Le quitter

The view was superb, the staff extremely accommodating, and the food impeccable. The rooms were clean, quiet, and beautiful. It's at a great location, not too far to drive to Oia or Akrotiri, and walkable to Fira. Hands down the best place I've stayed at in my life. I will never forget my time here.

Nothing. Everything was wonderful.

Fantastic customer service and staff/concierge were incredibly welcoming and warm in their reception.

N/A

Absolute stunning location, and fantastic staff. Looked after like royalty. Attention to detail was brilliant.

Heating for the pool was broken- was a tad cold .

L’emplacement magique de l’hôtel avec une magnifique vue sur la caldeira. La serenite du lieu: calme incroyable. Accueil, service,gentillesse…tout est irréprochable. La suite est vaste et spacieuse, la literie confortable, vous avez vos propres bain de soleil devant votre chambre. Le petit déjeuner est servi à l’heure de votre choix sur votre terrasse . L’hôtel possède son propre parking et vous êtes à 2 pas de l’agitation de Santorin, sans en subir les inconvénients. Bref: que du positif ! Merci à Dimitri et son équipe pour votre chaleureux accueil.

La durée de notre séjour : trop court!!!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣

Secluded and quiet but within easy walking distance of Fira. Unlike other nearby hotels, the grounds were totally private. We appreciated the warm welcome and excellent service and enjoyed tasty breakfasts and dinners served on the patio of our room. The bed was very comfortable. Great view of the sunset each night was icing on the cake!

A minor issue but the room could benefit from some updates to the shower plumbing.

Excellent séjour ! Hôtel propre, bien situé et personnel très attentionné. Tout était réuni pour passer un moment agréable. Je recommande

The views. Stunning. The people (staff) extraordinary.

Not a thing.

Wenn schon Santorini dann immer gerne im Vasilicos! Sensationelle Lage mit atemberaubenden Ausblick! Transfer bei An- und Abreise werden unproblematisch organisiert, supernettes Team, Frühstück auf der privaten Terrasse und dazu die wunderschönen Zimmer! Das Vasilicos ist etwas Besonderes, vielen Dank für die schönen Tage!

----

location beautiful, ambience tranquil, the staff (Dimitris, Chris & Team) were amazing, polite and helpful, the rooms and view … breathtaking!! A must once in a life time experience to add to anyone's Bucket List!

Nothing ... Wish we booked for longer!!!

The Vasilicos is a perfect hotel to retreat and relax. We.loved the stillness, amazing view, super kind staff and our breakfast on the terrace, always served by Chris with a smile.

Everything was wonderful.

Atmosfera fantastica, relax e tranquillità

Our stay at The Vasilicos was absolutely wonderful. The location is perfect, with a breathtaking direct view of the volcano that we truly loved. The concierge and all staff members were extremely kind and attentive, making us feel very welcome throughout our stay. Breakfast was excellent—varied, fresh, and a great start to the day. The rooms were well equipped, with thoughtful details such as a hair straightener, which I really appreciated. Overall, it was an outstanding experience, and The Vasilicos is definitely a place we would be happy to return to.

The only place I’d book when I’m transiting through Santorini and need a place to stay for a night. A quiet, authentic sophisticated antidote to the “instagram” hotels of Santorini. And on our second stay, the staff went above and beyond to accommodate us last minute at the most uncivilised hours of the night when our ferry came in late and we needed a bed to stay. Couldn’t recommend any higher and a special thanks to Vanessa!

Beautiful location.

Nothing.

Lovely position - fabulous view

Quite a lot of steps

Incredible location. Vasilikos is an amazing accommodation with the best view.. The staff is amazing. Vanessa who is now in charge was at our disposal all the time for anything we needed, as was Christos and the rest of the team. We will definitely visit it in the future. Personally it has the best sunset with a view of the volcano Thirassia and the caldera of Imerovigli and from below the cruise ships.

I loved how private this property is despite being a short walk to town. Felt truly secluded and so romantic with so many nice touches throughout. The plunge pools were fantastic and it's the best spot to catch a sunset. The staff at the property are a true class act who go above and beyond to make your stay wonderful. The candle lit dinner served private on our terrace was so lovely and some of the best food we had on the trip. We loved every second.

Nothing.

Ci siamo trovati Veramente bene, l’hotel è meraviglioso, la posizione è strategica, vista è mozzafiato. Tutto lo staff si è dimostrato cordiale e disponibile. Un ringraziamento speciale va a Cris, che ci ha viziati e coccolati. Torneremo presto!

Niente

Can't recommend The Vasilicos enough. We had a fantastic stay & have already booked again for next year. Location is perfect with easy access to everywhere. The rooms, pool, views & services outstanding. Do not think twice about booking here for your stay in Santorini!

Really great location separate from the hustle and bustle of Oia and Fira, but still close enough to Fira. Dimitris and co were incredibly welcoming and helped us book experiences and gave us good dining suggestions. Beautiful view, and our room (Efta) was right along the edge, a little scary but breathtaking. Breakfast was filling and delicious.

Not a fault of the property, but reminder that TP can’t be flushed on the island due to the sewage infrastructure.

I did a three week trip through Greece that ended in Santorini at The Vasilicos, which rightly saved the best for last. It is a unique place where you immediately feel at home, not least because of the fantastic staff who really think of everything and do everything to give you an unforgettable time. An unforgettable five days it have become, each one ending at the edge of the pool with the red-golden sunset over the caldera. The Vasilicos is a place that lets you bathe in luxury and gives you a feel for the traditions and history of Santorini as well. Highly recommended!

Nothing!

The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming! Our view was spectacular and could not be beat! Highly recommend this hotel!

Exceptional staff; my fellow Warriors fan Dimitris, Chris, the Filipino ladies were all exemplary. Awesome breakfast; great location.

Amazing boutique hotel, with extremely well maintained. Views are better than the photos show. Dimitris will take care of you and organise anything you need, Chris also was always there for anything we needed for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

We had the absolute best experience here. Every single staff member is so friendly and attentive! The food was fantastic - the breakfast was healthy, with special treats that varied each morning. The Aegean meze was one of the best meals we had on our entire two week trip. The room was beautiful and comfortable, with one of the best views on the island. I wholeheartedly recommend staying here!

Nothing, it was perfect!

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.

Outside of the crowded and noisy places which is perfect to relax and enjoy the view on the Caldera. Easy walks to Fira and Imerovigli villages. Very friendly staff which is always here to help and serve us. Very good breakfast which they make depending on your diet. I had a very good stay.

Staff was amazing. Such hard workers. They treated us like family. Shout out to Chris (or Kris) and Dimitri, and the girls (sorry did not get both your names).

lots of stairs, 53 up, 53 down.

The staff was unbelievably friendly and helpful. The breakfast was out of this world. The views were unmatched. I have never been so relaxed during a stay at a hotel. Make sure to ask for a massage!! I cannot recommend the Vasilicos enough.

Literally nothing!

Impeccable service, breakfast at the balcony, comfortable room and spectacular view. Everything was amazing , the hotel made my holiday wonderful.

The hotel is below a popular sunset spot ,might lose little privacy but it didnt bother us too much as i saw othe hotels more exposed to the walking tourists

The location and quality of the accommodation were both exceptional.

Service was very keen and attentive although breakfast timings were a little erratic, but a very minor quibble.

Amazing hotel with the most attentive and friendly staff who were available to help at any time. The breakfast is fabulous and it is such a treat to have it brought to your room daily. The view is incredible as well and a very comfortable room.

I can’t think of anything to improve on. It was a very relaxing stay.

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.

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.

My most magical holiday ever! Exceptional beauty, privacy, kindness, warmth… All the tiny details that you don’t find even in the best 5stars hotels! Truly unique! Dimitris who is a diamond and he’s so pure and ready to help with ANY issue! Chris and all team.. Bravo! Thank you really!

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!!!!

The view from the room is stunning , the service was wonderful , breakfast was excellent . Chris and Dimitri were super helpful , provided recommendations and were very friendly

Amazing location in Imerovigli, short walk to incredible restaurants and shopping. Dimitris and the rest of the staff couldn’t have done a better job, very personable and extremely helpful making our stay as enjoyable as possible!

The staff & service was exceptional; and the views are divine - cannot be beaten!

Very clean, amazing pool, comfy bed, great breakfast!

Nothing

The view was awesome. The service was impeccable. The breakfast was amazing each day. Chris from the Vasilicos staff attended to our every need and made the experience the best it could be. We walked the path from Fira to Oia and saw the many other accommodations with a view of the caldera and none of them compare with the Vasilicos. If you are looking for a luxurious, private and classic Santorini villa experience - this is the place to book. We hope to return.

Nothing

The property is beautiful and the staff are fantastic! A huge thank you to Dimitri, Kristos, chef and our fabulous ladies from the Philippines. Wonderful atmosphere, delicious food and warm hospitality! Thank you.

The Vasilicos had the views, the hospitality, the food, and more. It checked all our boxes. Most notably was the one on one service we received from Demetrius and Chris. It’s unlike anything we’ve ever experienced.

We can’t think of anything really.

Immaculate property, private with amazing views. Staff were so friendly, attentive and helpful and really made our stay special. Perfectly located in Imerovigli. Breakfast was so nice and brought to our room every morning. Would definitely staff here again!

Nothing

Perfect place to stay in Santorini. Amazing view from the room of the caldera and sunset. Location was great. Parking available. People are king and service was impeccable. Breakfast delivered in the room was fantastic - delicious and beautifully decorated. Unforgettable experience!!

Everything was perfect!!

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!

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.

Nothing.

Great views, wonderful staff and good location.

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.

Nothing

Amazing view. Staff always ready to serve. We stayed in Vasaltis room. Lovely cave design room with spacious bathroom. We had amazing breakfasts with caldera view. We liked the privacy of the location yet within short walking distance to nearby towns.

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!

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.

Nothing

It was so awesome to be at The Vasilicos. The room was beautiful. We just never got enough of the view. The staff was so kind-everyone of them. Breakfast for so very special. Our romantic dinner on our patio was one of the best meals we've ever had. It was such a relaxing, beautiful inn.

Amazing view, nice size room, breakfast served outside the villa was nice, good size pool, very friendly and helpful stuff.

Everything was great, if I have to say one thing it would be to get fresher towels and a better bed. Bed was still quite good but compared to the whole experience it could be more comfortable.

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.

We had a wonderful stay at Vasilicos! The staff were so helpful and friendly. Special shout out to Dimitri (manager at the hotel). He organised everything we wanted or needed, from reservations to transport. We had breakfast by ours rooms with the beautiful view. The great thing about the hotel is that it is nicely hidden from the main footpath so you have peace and quiet (unlike most hotels). But you are still a very short walk away from restaurants and Thera. Overall it has just been so lovely and definitely the most spectacular view!

Fantastic location, between Fira/Thera and Imerovigli - 5 mins walk to each. Incredible uninterrupted views across the caldera and to watch the sunset. Quality throughout in every area. The staff were wonderful, so welcoming, so friendly. Checking often enough if you need anything, but not too much so as to give you space if you’re staying around the hotel in the day. Each day in the afternoon, we were brought little ‘gifts’ including ice creams and even Greek Grappa one day.

Our suite (Belvedere) was (in our opinion) the best suite. Massive terrace to have breakfast on and sunbath on looking out uninterrupted across the caldera. There is even a sofa area to admire the view from. Had our own jacuzzi, yet the main pool was 10 seconds away on the level below. Sunsets were amazing from the terrace.
