Top Firostefani Hotel Reviews
Cresanto Luxury Suites
"Had an excellent stay here. It was a beautiful property in a quiet part of town. Large room, great pools, and super friendly staff. Also nice that it had a gym! You get a sunrise view, and we just went for sunset dinners/drinks on the other famous coast each night to enjoy that aspect. Would definitely stay again!"
Santorini Palace
"From the first interaction to the last bag going out the door, the staff of this property was amazing! Every single person there was friendly, helpful, and showed real pride and dedication to their jobs, the guests, and the hotel brand itself. I have never been so thoroughly impressed... the cleaning staff seems to be perpetually keeping the property immaculate, the lifeguard is vigilant and can pull like ten people out the water at once if needed, Rita's pool bar concoctions (try the Dark Apple) will hit every test bud, Crystal's quick wit and operatic singing voice between bringing the next recommendation off the menu and climbing flights of stairs to close your bill keeps you entertained, and Lena at the front desk navigating several guests requests to get everyone out the door on time and happy. **Big note...just coordinate ALL your reservations, rentals, excursions, etc through the hotel. They have the best and most reliable island contacts and go above and beyond to make sure everything is right** Thank you for being an amazing and unexpected addition to the enjoyment of my trip! Came here to attend a wedding, will come back to experience this place again!"
Vogue Suites
"Oia is very busy, but once at the property, you felt in a different world. I booked the cave with the sunset view and felt so far away from the busy streets. The property was lovely, pretty quiet, clean as well. The hotel staff were very friendly and nice. I recommend this place and will definitely book again. Thank you for a lovely stay!"
Santo Pure Oia Suites & Villas
"Exceptional villa for 2 couples - pool, jacuzzi, and even a gym/sauna which we didnโt use๐ The pool was awesome and the sunset views from there were stunning. 6-min walk to Oia shops and restaurants via a mostly lit path thatโs away from the main streets. Oia is a fabulous place to stay with vibe, shopping and great food."
Volcano View Hotel Santorini
"Second time staying at Volcano View Hotel in Santorini. The staff is very friendly and accommodating, they make the effort to learn your names, remember your coffee orders, ask you about how youโre enjoying your time, and make recommendations for how to enjoy the island as much as possible during your time there. The rooms are clean on arrival and throughout your stay. We stayed in a non-suite room and it was great. The breakfast buffet is good and appears to be quite fresh every day. It doesnโt change too much throughout the week but you can order other food on the menu if youโd prefer to switch it up. The views of the caldera from the hotel are amazing and the sunsets here are second to none. It is easy to navigate the island and the reception can help arrange everything essentially. Rides to Fira, Oia, or anywhere else, excursions such as Catamaran/private island tour, massage/spa, etc. My only minor criticism is the music by the main pool (yes, there is more than one pool), which is the same style of music being played over and over again, with some of the same songs playing twice or three times. If you have a pool day it can become repetitive. Could do with a genius shuffle playlist or something and work in some European music, no need for anything more involved than that. A special thanks to Petros, Costas and George! 9.7/10. Iโm sure I will be back!"
Hotel Sunny Villas
"Sunset views are amazing! Room was great very clean. Pool was beautiful. Wish our personal hot tub had been warmer. We cannot thank the staff enough for their hospitality. They brought us delicious breakfasts every morning. They even went out of their way to provide us a breakfast box when we had an early departure. They also had someone come to help us with our bags, which was above and beyond. Excellent customer service."

"Great room, great place, location is perfect and the price is amazing !! Thanks you looking for next year return:)"
