Porto Villa

It is a nice but modest hotel in the traditional Greek style with white walls and blue doors/windows overlooking the ocean and a small harbour. Even the breakfast area and pool is overlooking the ocean. Rooms are pretty with a decent bed and very clean, - they are cleaned every day, and the staff is really kind, helpful and speak English well. The local bus stops right outside the hotel. It only runs 4 times a day, so make sure to check the time table. A ticket to Fira is €2,5. If you are catching the early morning bus you will have to skip breakfast, but they will still let you grab what ever is ready early (bread, eggs, fruit, coffee). Tip: if you want to go somewhere new one day, but aren't up for a long busride, get on the cute little touristy train. It goes between Perissa and Vlychada, and a round trip ticket is €8 and valid for 4 hours. From Perissa you can catch a small boat to Kamari, or hike the mountain up to Ancient Thira. The local beach is spectacular! People come from other parts of the Island to visit this particular beach with its dramatic cliffs and black volcanic sand. It is sometimes referred to as Moon Beach, and you can go horseback riding on it. There is a little mini market at the harbour that sell most things, even fresh strawberries, but you can also buy water from the hotel at the same price as in the mini market. It is not a luxury hotel, but it is nice and quiet. And after having been on tours to the very crowded Fira and Oia, it was a relief to get back to this nice little oasis that we had almost entirely to ourselves. We will definitely consider coming back.

We had an amazing holiday, Ruska, Eleni and Nasia was faboulus Girls at The hotel bar. The hotel was clean and The rooms cosy. The breakfast was ok, we missed some bacon and scrambled eggs😀 and fruit sallad to The yoghurt. But The hospitallaty was amazing from everyone🙏❤️ and The wiew was amazing from The hotel bar every night. Drinks was really good! Close to walk to The beach. But to get to The bigger places like Fira and Oia you need to hire a car, its a little remote area and The buss dont go so often. But all and all, Santorini was an amazing place to se! Tanks!

What a lovely place to stay. The owner Kiki and her family were so kind. The villa over looks the small fishing harbour which is beautiful. The rooms are nice and well air conditioning and we had an amazing sunset view. The breakfast was different each day and there were eggs and cereal too. The terrace serves evenings g cocktails and beers and other drinks. There are four main restaurants in the area, 2-3min walk. We shall definitely come back here !

We have just had a week at this delightful hotel. It is very clean, quiet and friendly. It overlooks the harbour and has at least three tavernas within a few paces of its front door. The pool is lovely and we were always able to have a sun bed whenever we wanted one. The owners are very helpful and are full of information about the island and how to get around it (they even organise taxis and hire cars if you wish). Recommended for a laid back very quiet off the beaten track stay.

We had a 7 days stay in Porto Villa that is located in Vlychada, south of Santorini. The village is nothing that you will expect - very little tourists, empty streets and quiet place with a very beautiful beach and amazing restaurants very close by. If you prefer those settings, Porto Villa is your best option. You can then take a bus to other places (the bus stop is right at the front of the accomodation) or you can easily borrow a scooter or a quad or a car at the reception and visit the crowded areas of the island. You can also easily book a boat trip at the reception as well. The beach is 5-8min of walking from the accomodation. Two things stood out the most: Having a breakfast or a night drink at the terrace with the view of the sea and the dock. Second one being the room service, which was truly amazing. Its a small detail but we had clean towels changed every day. Sheets similarly. The climatization in the rooms is also very good. In general, we had a very pleasant experience and its a beautiful place to stay at.
