Chelidonia Traditional Villas

emplacement exceptionnel. tres authentique vue incroyable personnel d une tres grande gentillesse et disponibilité. une adresse incontournable

When you see pictures of Santorini, especially Oia, you see the pictures that we saw every day bye looking out from our room’s patio. The view from was fabulous! We had to walk down a couple of levels of steps to get to the room. It has a small patio in front where they brought two hour patio a delicious breakfast every day. (fruit, a hard, boiled egg, some bread, coffee, fresh squeezed orange juice. I think they call this type of room a cave house. Even during the hot day, it was pretty cool even without air conditioning onin our room. The staff, especially Irini and Aphrodite, we’re very helpful. They arranged for us to rent a scooter, which I highly recommend, and to take a Catamaran cruise that was a wonderful way to get on the out on the water and see the island. I really can’t recommend this place enough. Everyone wants to see Oia, but at times the main pathway is like a two way conga line. We were able to enjoy Oia from our room, and explore the city after the bus loads of tourist had left. Even though everybody comes to Oia for the sunset, I would recommend going elsewhere to avoid the massive crowds. There are better places for the sunset.

The only slight complaint I might have is that the shower doesn’t have a shower curtain or something to prevent the water from spilling out on the floor. It was not really a problem, but… Be aware that there are no great beaches in this area. While they’re plenty of fabulous beaches throughout the island, you would need to go outside 0IA to see them. You could hike down to nearbyAmudi Bay and hike around a little bit to go swimming Saint Nicholas chapel.

Beautiful room. Beautiful view. Great staff.

Steps to room …so you need yo be in decent shape!

good

none

The staff in the reception was extremely kind and eficiente!! The The Villa has a stunning view, built in the authentic cycladian style, perfect spot with quite a good space! Lovely for my family!!

Great location and incredible staff who were always attentive and booking dinner and transport for me.

I would’ve given them a 10/10 if it weren’t for the hot water only being available in the afternoon. Everything else is perfect!

Location

Air conditioning was not good in our room

The view from these rooms is stunning and worth the splurge. Hotel management are very professional and friendly. Upon our arrival they provided details about hotel amenities and suggestions for our stay in Oia. They provided a ride from the airport on our arrival in Santorini, and arranged our transport to our hotel in Fira when our Oia holiday ended. Porters carried our luggage to and from our room - a VERY welcome service: there are many steps and levels of stairway to and from the rooms. Tip these guys well -- they sure deserve it! The hotel's positively unique and memorable cave rooms made our stay just about perfect. The fully stocked kitchen was great for impromptu meals and reheating take-out meals. The hotel is centrally located in Oia, convenient to the town square for transportation and a short walk from the point and Castle of St. Nicholas. Our spacious balcony patio was a great place to enjoy a continental breakfast while observing wedding tableaux and celebrations every morning, and gaze on the caldera through the day.

Not a thing

Having breakfast served on our private porch was a welcome treat. Also the boulder that extended into the bedroom added dramatic impact and made it very interesting

Vue magnifique, très bon hébergement, et surtout un personnel extrêmement attentionné et professionnel.

Their customer service was the best. Beautiful caldera views from the villa. Difficult to go to villas if you require walking assistance but porter available to carry luggages. Parking drop off a short walk from the villa. Yummy breakfast with wonderful outlook to the see and the best parts of Oia

Beautiful traditional cliffside villas. Nicely styled. Spacious, clean and comfortable with lots of places to relax both inside and out. Peaceful location to take in the amazing views. Very helpful and friendly staff.

Nothing. Perhaps more breakfast options?

Just the best area to stay in Oia. The customer service and staff were first class. The breakfast brought to your room and the view was simply fantastic. When in Oia Chelidonia is a must stay at hotel.

Amazing stay! The views were absolutely stunning, and we loved the unique cave-style setup paired with a convenient location. The staff were highly attentive and friendly, and breakfast served on our balcony was a highlight. 5/5 – truly a special experience.

お部屋が可愛くて、朝食も美味しかった！ ロケーションもよく、猫が気まぐれでお部屋の外に来てくれるのが可愛かった🤭 スタッフの方もとても優しく、泊まってよかったです

最初手続きするところがわからず、ウロウロしていました。でもアプリのメッセージですぐ返信が来たので、いる場所を送ったら声をかけに来てくれました！

Views . transfers with suitcases and to the property with semi private ride from airport

I guess your really just paying for the view. The room wasn’t pleasant. It’s old. I guess it’s ok if that’s what your into. And the free breakfast I could have passed on. 4 pieces of bread, 2 hard boiled eggs. Coffee or tea and spinach pie. It all came in a run down basket.

This property was perfect. It was in a great location. Staff was so sweet and helpful. I would definitely recommend.

This property has the best views you can imagine! Unique rooms with very relaxing patios . Quiet even when crowds are walking the paths .very friendly helpful staff! You must be be able to climb very steep steps absolutely.

Lo bonito k es todo

La visibilidad para ver el mar no era muy buena desde el apartamento,por las flores k hay delante

Super service. They arranged the transfer back and forth with no problem and on time. Help with the luggage? Yes sir! Breakfast was brought at a time of your choosing. Don’t know how they go up and down those stairs all the time. Very clean. Whatever you need, they’ll see to it. Fabulous view. Recommend highly.

You know, you dream of a Santorini experience - images in your mind, gathered from social media that are enhanced and touched up. Most times, dreams and reality do not match up! Our stay at this villa was as if out of a picture postcard - not one single disappointment. The villa itself was quaint, had a homey vibe, comfortable, and serene. The service staff were all excellent.

Well, if you want a view like this, you do have to pay a price for it and not only in dollars! There are exactly 87 steps up to street level from the villa! It was a good work out, not necessarily a bad thing!

Very nice hotel

The views are the selling feature but as an added bonus the staff was friendly and helpful. Not too mention, they arrange to have a breakfast basket with coffee delivered to you every morning of your stay at the time you provide them. I hope to come back someday!!

Highly recommend this property! The views are epic and it is located conveniently in the center of Oia. The staff was excellent and the villas was cozy and cool.

Beautiful place... keep in mind people with mobility issues will find the whole Oia experience a challenge though.

Absolutely the best place to stay in Oia. The location and view from the villa is simply the best! The front desk is so helpful and we had excellent communication with them before and during our trip, providing us with great tips and making arrangements for us around Oia. Breakfast served on the terrace was so convenient and beautiful sitting there with a full view of the Volcano and the Aegean Sea.. We loved it and there is no other place I would consider on my next visit to Santorini.

This place was a dream. We loved every moment we spent at this property. The location was fantastic and the views were nothing short of whimsical. We felt like we jumped into a postcard. We especially enjoyed having a kitchen with a private terrace, where we enjoyed breakfast every morning and dinner on a few nights to take in the views. This accommodation was super cozy and gave us a nice break from the tourist track. We absolutely loved staying here and would stay here again!

Honestly the whole stay was amazing! the staff was super friendly and informative. The views were breathtaking and enjoying the hand delivered breakfast on our balcony was a highlight of our trip! they made everything from transportation to and from port to renting an ATV super easy and simple! i am recommending everyone who goes to santorini to stay here!

Our villa was clean and comfortable with an amazing view. Close to everything. Quiet at night. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Definitely would recommend.

La ubicación y la vista de lo mejor. Esta ubicado en el sector dónde están las mejores vista. El personal super atento y te suben el equipaje. La habitación divina. Con terraza dónde te llevan el desayuno y tiene utensilios por si queres comer ahí lo cual es práctico y cómodo. Muy felices con la estadía.

Afroditi, the person that greeted us and attended to our needs during our stay was fantastic! Totally engaging and friendly. Great recommendations. The entire staff was lovely. Great breakfast. Great view. Nice location. In Oia. We had a small suite which was perfect for a three night stay.

Exceptional service and location

Nothing

Wow!!!! Is all I can say!!!! This property has the most amazing views. I loved having breakfast on the patio in the morning with the magnificent view

This is a must do place to stay! You are staying in a private villa, breakfast delivered to your patio each morning! This place is INSANELY BEAUTIFUL. The staff are the best! So warm and friendly, informative and accommodating. I have never been treated so well. I will 100% return here. Don’t miss out on this gem. It’s in the middle of everything too which is super convenient. The only thing you will regret is leaving.

This place was amazing. Great location and staff

Absolutely loved it! We had the best experience.

Clean rooms, privacy, nice view of the ocean. Great service; very friendly and helpful staff!

The location in Oia was perfect! We had amazing views of the caldera as well as the iconic blue domes of the city right from our room! In the distance, we could see all of the tourists taking photos on the square in front of the church while we relaxed on our peaceful balcony patio. The hotel was situated on the main passageway with a five to ten minute walk in either direction to both ends of Oia. Each morning breakfast was served directly to our room at a time we chose. We dined outside while enjoying the quiet views and ocean breezes. A stay in a traditional cave hotel was on my bucket list, and it did not disappoint! The view of the windmills with perfect sunset views were a quick walk from the hotel. They gave us great recommendations of where to get a drink or dinner to experience the not-to-miss sunsets of Oia! The value was good compared to other options we considered. We would definitely stay here again!

It would have been nice to have a pool, but the hotel helped us arrange a visit to the red and black sand beaches, so we still had our time in the water in Santorini!

What a view! Excellent staff, very clean, well stocked apt.

Chelidonia Traditional Villas offers an unforgettable Santorini experience. The views over the caldera are stunning, the rooms are clean and stylish, and the staff goes above and beyond to help. The private terrace was a peaceful spot to enjoy the sunset each evening. Highly recommend!

The location, the staff, the view are all exceptional and easily exceed any preconceptions about the Villas. The staff are always on the move but very approachable whatever they are doing. Our porter in particular was able to carry a 26 kg suitcase and a 8 kg carry on bag on his shoulder while wheeling another suitcase as well. EXCEPTIONAL!!!

Nothing

Well maintained, clean, organized. Very friendly and helpful staff - if I could give more than 5, I would. Wonderful location and view. Sunset point near by - walk for 5 mins. Lots of restaurants and shops. Heart of Caldera.

The room's design was very attractive, and comforts were enhanced by kitchen essentials and refridgerator. All staff, from reception to porter and those who brought us breakfast baskets and coffee each morning, were friendly and helpful. Views of caldera and surrounding villas were outstanding. Room was quiet and privacy was ensured despite central location. We highly recommend this fine establishment.

Front desk service and room service weree professional and responsive.

Breakfast was like the Ford Model T, one model, one color, Rooms were well located but extremely overpriced for the comfort and experience provided. but aside from the location, the facility is dated and not comfortable.

We loved our stay. The rooms and service were top notch. The views were stunning and it was so quiet and peaceful. Highly recommend!

Excellent location which is convenient and has excellent view from our villa.

Spectacular views ! Lovely traditional decor but a great space with everything available. The daily breakfast was amazing. Well equipped with all required for self catering. Magnificent outdoor space

Just the cost because of our exchange rate it was very expensive

We stayed in the traditional villa for five nights. The view and location were absolutely stunning, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was acceptable for a short stay—perhaps one night—but for longer stays like ours, it lacked variety. It was very basic and repetitive, and having more options would have made a big difference. One thing we missed during our stay was a small microwave oven, which would have been very convenient. We mentioned this to the reception staff, and they kindly acknowledged the suggestion, saying they would consider adding one in the future. I hope they follow through on that—it would definitely enhance the experience. Overall, it was a good stay and a memorable experience. However, it's important to be aware in advance that reaching the villa requires going down (and up) 84 steps. This could be a challenge for some guests, especially with age or mobility concerns.

The property is unique and quaint. The villas have beautiful views of the caldera. While the villa was comfortable, it was like going back in time. There is no television in the room. The shower had no shower curtain nor glass so I was cold while showering and water got all over the bathroom floor. The breakfast was included with our room and delivered to our patio every morning. In order to get to our villa we had to go up and down several flights of steps. The good thing is the porter will carry your bags when you check in and when you check out from your room all the way to where you will be picked up by your taxi or transfer. The location is close to restaurants and shops. Overall it was a good experience.

The stay was lovely. I was so impressed by the customer service. They reached out to me via Whatsapp a day or two before to offer transportation services (at a cost). I came right after my destination wedding so it was a nice relief to have this taken care of before arrival. The only slight negative or warning I have is to be careful with leaving food out in the kitchen. The hotel kindly delivered a plate of cheese, etc. Within an hour (maybe even just half an hour), there were already ants swarming our platter. It's not a big deal to my overall great experience, but I just would've eaten my platter way quicker if I had known.

The location was fantastic with beautiful view from the room and outdoor space. Kitchen was well appointed. Staff were helpful when I asked for iron and ironing board they delivered it quickly. Breakfast was great with fresh orange juice, savory muffins, eggs, breads, spreads, fruit, and coffee.

Chelidonia Traditional Villas has an amazing view and if I find myself on Santorini again I'd re-book it. The staff were superb -- very friendly and helpful and even made restaurant bookings for us. You need to be reasonably fit to stay here -- it was 88 steps down to the villa from the main street in Oia, and of course Oia itself requires a bit of climbing to walk around on anything but the main street, as it's built on a cliff. Parking is an issue here. Now I've been, I'd recommend renting a car by the day as the car rental lot is on the edge of town and you could easily walk there to get/return the car.

Perfect location, staff amazing, accommodation lovely. Perfect holiday

This was the best vila. Beautiful view, best service and clean rooms. Convenient and the best location. I am unable to find a single fault with this place.

Great property and location! Easy access to all of downtown Chania and local beach(es). Comfortably fit a 2 families - 8 people total. Love the rooftop! Only thing that may cause an issue for some was the steps - there's alot of them. 4 floors. Would highly recommend.

Great value for money, good service, amazing view, convenient location

Excellent service and location

Breakfast should have been better

Stunning location.

It was a short stay, but a very pleasant and memorable stay. The hotel staff was excellent. I suggest booking airport transfer with them instead of taking a cab. If you book airport transport with them, they will have somebody waiting to help with bags upon arrival. Otherwise there might be an adventure of trying to find the check-in desk since transportation can only drop you off at the bottom of the hill which is a short walk to the check-in desk. Anyway, Irinia (hopefully I remembered her name correctly) was excellent. All her restaurant recommendations were excellent. She was very helpful. The breakfast at the balcony overlooking the sea was unbelievable. Would definitely come back to this hotel when in Santorini.

Loved the stay, wonderful view and excellent service

Beautiful patio with amazing view

Be prepared for LOTS of steps !

We loved the location of our villa and the views were stunning. The staff was exceptional! Maria booked several activities and restaurants for us. The porter was a life saver when it came to carrying our bags up and down the stairs.

We were totally satisfied! We do wish we would have had better instructions for check in. We didn’t know a porter would help us with several levels of stairs until we found the reception office. There is no way to drive up to reception. It was hard to find.

I had a wonderful stay here. My ‘cave’ room was adorable and the view to die for. Location was great and close to everything you could want. The staff were helpful and friendly. Just be aware that there are lots of steps but that’s Oia! The only thing I would do differently next time was choose a pool room because it was super hot in September.

Excellent staff and excellent service. They constantly texted us about our arrival, have a porter to help with luggage, helped arrange restaurant reservations and also helped tell us where to go. Breakfast basket is delivered to your room. Super convenient right in the main square close to the bus stop. Hotel room was a few steps down and away from all the touristy noise so we slept very comfortably. Beautiful views

Absolutely beautiful and an amazing view! The staff went above and beyond and were incredibly helpful. The front desk concierge was fantastic. A convenient location and very clean room. We had our clothes laundered during our stay and they did a great job. Highly recommend!

Right in the middle of the top area, amazing unique rooms. Super friendly and helpful staff.

Beautiful view from the property, very prime location, proximity to main tourist attractions

Lot of stairs to reach the property

The Chelidonia suites and staff were all amazing. My wife and I really enjoyed our stay and will definitely share our amazing experience with our family and friends in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada.

Location and service was incredible. The staff at the front desk was extremely receptive, helpful, and communicative. They went out of their way to arrange transfers, give recommendations, and help us with anything we needed (like laundry). However, the breakfast is horrible, do not expect much. We saw pictures of luxurious breakfast plates, I think this is only for their most top suites. We received a picnic basket with apples and pieces of bread… Apart from the breakfast, hotel is great! recommend

Fantastic view !!!!!!!!!!!!!, great location and wonderful staff

The staff was amazing. The view is breathtaking. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about our stay. We will be back.

This place is wonderful

It has a fantastic view , perfect
