My wife and I had the pleasure of staying at The Vasilicos from July 16-20. We had never been to Santorini before, and our plan was to 'veg out' after a family cruise the week prior. We did not know what to expect, however we were completely amazed, not only at the views from the hotel, but at the exceptional service provided by everyone there. The location was prefect – away from the crowds in Fira (a short walk away) and Oia (a short drive away). From the moment we arrived, we were pampered by the very friendly staff and there was never a moment that we felt neglected or forgotten. They took care of transportation arrangements when we asked, our breakfast was served promptly when we requested it every morning, and they were happy to recommend wonderful restaurants no matter which town we were planning to visit. Both Dimitrios and Chris handled all our luggage delivery to and from our room without any effort and really took wonderful care of us. Their chef, Yannis, was exceptional in both his preparation and presentation of our meals, in particular the fabulous Caldera Candlelight dinner on their patio with an unobstructed view of a magnificent sunset. The rooms are well appointed, and the pool was just outside our door. It was truly a perfect holiday in a magical setting, and we would most definitely return to The Vasilicos without hesitation!!

My husband and I had a fantastic stay at the Vasilicos during our babymoon. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, and they really treated us like family. The property was private since there was a monastery on the hill above (no tourists walking through your hotel area!) and it had a spectacular view of the caldera. If we ever have a chance to go back, I hope we can stay here again!

A Perfect Santorini Experience

Our stay at the Vasilicos was hands-down the best hotel experience we've ever had. Ever! I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough. From the moment we arrived, the manager Konstantina was friendly, attentive, and unbelievably welcoming. The actual hotel is very intimate with perfect, uninterrupted, and breathtaking views of the caldera over the immaculate swimming pool. Mornings are glorious, sunsets are beyond words and the food is worth staying in for. The hotels' breakfast and diner chefs created some of the finest meals during our entire Greek vacation. The waiters Kyrgiakos and Geoge are the definition of professionalism and the warmth and hospitality of the entire staff was truly amazing. The hotel is located between Fira and Imerovigli which provides for a perfect location to easily walk to either town. Our stay here was magical and we are already making plans to head back to the Vasilicos as soon as possible.

Literally not enough great things to say about this place, from the room design to the OUTSTANDING views to the INCREDIBLE breakfast. And let me just say, the queen of the castle (per se), manager extraordinaire, Fiorela is literally the most organized, detail-oriented and attentive that I have ever met. She and the rest of the staff will take time to painstakingly understand your needs on the trip, and make your stay seamless (both inside and outside of the hotel). Will stay here in future many many many times, I hope, and would recommend it to everyone!! Only warning: you may never want to step foot off the property once you check in, so be wary of too many other plans! Haha. Enjoy!

There are not enough good things to say about the Vasilicos. From the stunning views, to the refreshing pools, to the delicious morning breakfast and all the other little thoughtful touches. It was easily our favorite place we have stayed. What truly makes the experience, however, are the people and their welcoming kindness. Thank you for sharing your Santorini with us, Vasilicos!

It’s a one of a kind experience in Santorini. If you enjoy boutique hotels with phenomenal personalized service, this is the spot. My partner and I walked the whole caldera and could not find a place that we thought we would stay instead. It offers privacy and one-of-a-kind views (especially sunset) unmatched in Imergovili. We highly recommend the Efta suite as it is the most private of the suites. The staff were nothing short of amazing and were there for anything that was needed no matter the time of day (we arrived at 2am in the morning and they were more than accommodating)! Their ultimate goal was your enjoyment/comfort and they exceeded that and then some. You honestly feel like an extension of their family as they treat you as such.

Excellent small boutique hotel. The hotel staff are all very friendly and very helpful. The hotel is in an ideal position less than 5 minutes walk from two nearby villages, both of which have several restaurants and shops. At the same time the hotel is very quiet and peaceful. Perfect for a relaxing holiday or honeymoon.

The staff members were warm and personable and the hotel was beautiful. We loved the amenities and the meals were so delicious! Even though it was raining for half of the time we were there, we still enjoyed the hotel and had a wonderful time. It was great to have free parking in a gated location and the awesome hike to Oia along the coast was 2 hrs. We enjoyed a candlelight dinner, as well as the massage service connected to them, which they arranged for us at extra cost. We suggest that the hotel place a sign at the bottom of the hill at the street directing guests to the location and requesting a correction on the google maps directions, as google maps is slightly off.
