My wife and I stayed at Villa Ilias during our Honeymoon, and we had a marvelous time! Giorgos and his staff are extremely generous, polite, helpful beyond measure, and (perhaps most importantly) patient with their guests, who are coming from all over the world to experience beautiful Santorini. The location, for us, was perfect: just north of Firostefani, which is (in our opinion) the best town on the caldera-side — only a 15-minute walk to Fira and an even quicker jaunt to Imerovigli. All the staff at Villa Ilias speak English quite well, although my wife and I think it's important to at least attempt to learn a little of a country's native language, which the staff were readily willing to teach us. Frankly, after only one week in Santorini, Giorgos and his staff made my wife and me feel like part of their family!
