Elias' place is wonderful! It is a gorgeous boutique hotel in the perfect location for a romantic visit to Santorini. It's only a few minutes walk to the quaint village of Firastefani (we recommend dinner at 'To Briki') and the bus stop to take you to the rest of the island. The 20 minute walk along the cliff into Fira is breathtaking but we were happy we didn't stay there as it's quite commercial and didn't feel like we were in Santorini anymore.
The rooms in the hotel are dated but spotless and the bathrooms are newly renovated. We also had a small kitchenette in the room. The rooms are very private and access to each villa is via an open courtyard with a cheerful and fragrant garden.
Elias is a warm and welcoming host and nothing is too much trouble for him. They serve a scrumptious homemade breakfast that will fill you up for most of the day.
Ersi Villas is sometimes referred to as a hostel online but this is definitely not so. You will be so pleased you decided to stay here.
