I recommend this hotel 100%! I am a college student studying abroad this semester and my mom and I met in Greece for my fall break. We absolutely loved staying at Villa Ilias! Our room walked out right to the pool with an incredible view of the caldera and town! It was like a fairy tale. The staff was wonderful as well. Each day the receptionist gave us a newsletter for visitors of Santorini with the weather conditions, best things to do with that weather, local events and some history of the island. Breakfast each day was delicious, I always had yogurt and one of the spinach or egg pies. The receptionist Mary was the sweetest woman, she was always so helpful in answering our questions and even helped us plan our day each day! The rooms are very clean and comfortable. Highly recommended all around, a great value.
