Home of Lilies — Hotel in Municipality of Thira

Souli is really the standout feature of this home. Yes, the home itself is beautiful and spacious, the pool is immaculately clean, there are plentiful seating areas inside and out, but Souli’s warmth and welcome is what makes it.

She not only gave us a full tour and stocked the villa with fresh bread and baked goods when we arrived, she also continued to do so every time they came to clean. We were getting married towards the end of our stay and while we were at the venue with all of our guests, Souli came and decorated with rose petals and left us champagne 🥹 She and her cleaning crew are also incredibly thorough.

We hosted welcome drinks with about 40 people, and there was ample space, seating, furniture etc. We had grazing tables, for which there were platters. There were even baby plates and cups since we had a toddler with us! There are games for indoor days, and floaties for pool days (if you visit and use the unicorn or rainbow those were our contributions-enjoy!)

We had a couple of small difficulties with the villa itself while we were there: the first was the oven didn’t work. Souli got it looked at the same day and ordered us take out since our cooking plans were scuppered. To our surprise she wouldn’t let us pay which is above and beyond IMO. Unfortunately it needed a part for the repair which had to come from the mainland, so we didn’t have it working throughout our stay, but she was hounding the repair man every single day to try to get it fixed for us.

The second issue was with the plumbing, the bathrooms wouldn’t drain at first but Souli got that fixed immediately and I have every confidence that if something goes wrong she will do everything in her power to rectify it.

The only thing I would recommend is to add some more plastic drinkware for poolside because when that wind gets up it might take your glass!

If I remember I’ll update with more photos once I get them from the photographer, as the groomsmen got ready there on the wedding day 🥰

Book this villa-you...

Fantastic villa in the heart of Santorini but away from the busy areas!

beautiful villa - very clean and modern. Extremely spacious, bright and airy! amenities were fab - the owner had made sure things were in the villa for us like: cake, coffee, beer, wine, milk, water, juices, shower buff things, toothpaste, toiletries etc. All the normal things too such as hairdryers, plug socket converters. owner is amazing - she met us at the villa to show us round and gave us her number for anything we needed. She happily recommended restaurants, made bookings for us and arranged taxis for us too. outdoor area is lovely - really good sized pool with plenty of seating and sun bed options. location is fantastic - 5 minutes from the airport (but not noisy at all), and 5 minutes into Fira by car (you can walk this in about 20 minutes but it is all uphill). peaceful and private villa. the beautiful sunrise can be seen from the master bedroom windows each morning.

Things to note: the pool is 2.2m deep all over - no shallow end. While this wasn't an issue at all for us, it might be for people with younger children. a car is really useful - yes walking to Fira is only 20 minutes, but all uphill and the roads aren't really suited to walking on! Greek plumbing doesn't allow for flushing toilet paper - again, a non issue but something to be aware of.

Would absolutely come and stay here again and recommend to others wanting somewhere to stay...

This villa is so amazing!! The pictures don’t do it justice as it’s HUGE! We used the villa as our getting ready space for 2 nights for our wedding in Santorini. It was just the most perfect space for everyone. The host is so unbelievably kind and helpful. She did so much for us and went above and beyond what we could have ever expected. You will not be disappointed staying here. It’s perfect for every occasion. The pool is divine. The whole house screams luxury. We cannot wait...
