We had a wonderful one-week stay at Thea Luxury Villas in Ios while visiting for a wedding, and would happily recommend it to others.
The villa itself is absolutely picturesque, with incredible views and a wonderfully peaceful setting. Although it is outside of the main towns, we actually found the tranquillity to be one of the best parts of our stay. Waking up to those views and having somewhere so peaceful to return to after a busy day made it feel really special.
The hosts were fantastic throughout our stay — attentive, friendly and always available whenever we needed anything. We could simply message them if we had a question or needed something, and they were very responsive. The villa was also cleaned every other day, which was a great touch and made the week feel very comfortable.
We did experience a power cut during our stay as a result of the fires on neighbouring islands, but the owner kept us regularly informed and updated, which was really appreciated given the circumstances.
We stayed as a group of 5 (4 adults and 1 child) and thoroughly enjoyed our time here. The only minor downside for us was that there is no oven or outdoor cooking facility, which would have been useful when staying as a larger group, but this certainly didn’t detract from our overall experience.
Overall, a beautiful villa in a stunning and peaceful location, with fantastic hosts who genuinely looked after us. We would recommend Thea Luxury Villas and would love to return in the future.
