    Great Location if you are staying at Fira. The landlord is super cool, flexible and understanding! We enjoyed the breakfast as well.

    The location is Amazing. Just a walk to fira, main square or Imerovigli in both directions. The hosts are very welcoming and guided us on where to visit Santorini. They also help in arranging transfers and guide you to things to do in Santorini. They made special breakfast for us since we were vegetarian and the taste was awesome. If you are looking for a place on a budget with great views and close to the center, then this is the perfect place to stay.

    Nothing to dislike!

    Very good location - quiet end of street - but close to square and beautiful walking paths (caldera) along coast in both directions - imerovigli - Oia - near to restaurants and fira centre 15 minutes walk. Nicely furnished balcony and views on both sides. Nice bright room, sun facing. Friendly, helpful hosts.

    We had a great stay at Smarula Villa. Perfectly located, close to the caldera and all beautiful views. Wojtek, the owner, was great! He helped us with everything one could possibly need, including with renting a car and planning a transfer to the ferry port, but also with different suggestions of restaurants and beaches to go to.

    Very friendly family who hosted us. The owner helped book our taxis and cooked really good vegetarian breakfasts for us. location is excellent with Fira only 15 mins walking distance and where you can catch buses to other places. Nice places to eat around the town which is a short walk away with amazing views.

    It was difficult to locate. Not the proprietors fault. The town changes street directions for the summer and GPS is not updated. Our 30 minute drive turned into over 3 hours. But our host was most gracious when we arrived. Together we figured out the problem and hope he puts added directionals in the location finder.

    Our hosts were great- friendly, helpful and very attentive. The location was ideal. Within walking of many restaurants and shops but in a quiet area. Amazing sunset views . Centrally located.

    The beds were bouncy, so that can be improved

    The location is good, with a walkable distance from Restaurants and shops in both directions. The room has windows that provide both Sunrise and Sunset views which is great. The room has all the essential things your need like a water kettle, coffee/Tea sachets, Hot Water, Hair Dryer, Clothes Hanger, Toiletries, Extra Quilt, Cutlery, and Ample Plug points for charging. The Rooms are on the first floor with good ventilation. The Hosts are so welcoming and always ready to help you out and provide the info that's required. Super fast and responsive through messages too. We were also provided a very early check-in as the room was available and we totally loved the tasty breakfast. This was better than what we got in Hotels we paid double this price. The Yogurt desert was bliss. If you are looking for a place on a budget with decent views and close to the center, then this is the perfect place to stay. There is space nearby to park vehicles and the hosts also provide pick-up/drop service from Airport/Ferry points at extra cost if needed.

    Woah! Great hospitality. If you expect great and family like service, yet host menage to overcome your expectations. We have been shocked how well our family has been treated. Room has been cleaned on daily basis. Breakfast? Home like made toast with rich flavoured coffee and dessert. Our 2yo boy had personalised panecakes every day! On top of it was perfectly balanced location. Hotel is placed between city center main square and astronomically beautiful way to stunning vistas. Some of them are exactly within reach of a hand!
