We stayed in a deluxe suite which the hotel call petite suites. The room was very comfortable, clean and maintained to a high standard. The room was made up daily by the excellent staff. A delicious breakfast was delivered at our chosen time every morning and there was a good variety of food to choose from. The jacuzzi was great to have, it was a good temperature so it wasn’t too hot to use during the day but it was warm enough to use in the evening when the temperature had dropped. When the hotel found out we were on honeymoon, they gave us a couple of little treats which was really kind. We enjoyed the location of the property in Fira. It was a short walk into town, there were a couple of supermarkets nearby and it was an 8 minute walk from the main bus station with buses across the island. When we arrived, we hadn’t booked much to do in Santorini, so Liza who worked on reception booked us onto day trips and got us reservations at recommended bars and restaurants straight away. She was always on hand to help and we really appreciated her recommendations - we particularly enjoyed Iriana Cafe, a bar on the cliff in Fira. We felt the hotel was really good value for money and would highly recommend it.

When we booked the suite, we didn’t realise the only space to sit outside was very sheltered and on the main road side of the suite. We would have appreciated a more private space to sit out in the sun so recommend booking a larger suite if that’s something you would value.

This is my ideal location in Fira, just a short walk to the tourist attractions in the more central and busier parts, but situated on a quieter main street with grocery stores and two exceptional coffee houses. The room was stunning and spacious with modern design and features, the bed was comfortable and the hot-tub was heavenly. From the moment I arrived the staff were exceptional, instantly making me feel incredibly welcome. Giving me broad and extensive knowledge of the island. Even bringing a delicious cocktail to my room at night, followed by an astounding breakfast in the morning. I was unaware when I booked but I stayed here once before several years ago, and was delighted to recognize the surroundings as I arrived, I knew I was in a good place. It was exceptional back then and the charming staff made it even better this time.

My family and I spent a wonderful 5 nights at Irene City Villas and thoroughly enjoyed it. Emi made us feel so welcome and was so helpful with suggesting tours and activities during our stay. The rest of the staff were all so friendly and helpful. The rooms were modern, very clean and serviced daily. The pool area and hot tubs were also clean and very enjoyable. Fira town was just a short walk away, so this was a great central location. Breakfast was amazing and served on time every day. I would highly recommend staying here and look forward to returning. Thank you Emi and team for an unforgettable stay.

First and foremost, we liked the hospitality of Emi (morning-noon) and Kostas (afternoon-evening). They were really great and provided very useful information - just ask them about everything, from where to eat Gyros or which restaurant has the best sunset views until which beach is the best at a specific day. They really did everything to make us happy - and indeed we were. Breakfast is served to the room, which is great with young kids, as you can eat in the comfort of your room. The pool and the in-unit Jacuzzi were great and provided an opportunity to relax / cool down between the day and evening activities. We also liked the location - there is a parking lot just nearby (we were with a car, and there was always a space there), and it is not in the center of Fira (so no noise, crowds etc.), but pretty close to it by foot.

It is not "negative" and will not disturb your stay there, but just that you are prepared: 1. You should not drink there tap water. Not sure if it was due to hygiene or merely taste considerations, but we were told not to drink it. So be prepared to drink bottled water. 2. They have bidet in the toilet, as you should not use throw toilet paper in the toilet. Can take time to get used to, if you don't use it at home (especially with kids).

We had a truly wonderful stay at Irene city villas in Fira, Santorini, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcomed and cared for. Emy and Costas, in particular, were absolutely amazing—warm, professional, and incredibly helpful throughout our stay. Their hospitality made a lasting impression on us and contributed so much to our overall experience. The location is excellent—just a five-minute walk from Fira square—making it easy to explore the town while still enjoying a peaceful and quiet environment. Emy provided us with fantastic local recommendations for restaurants, sights, and experiences. The facilities were just what we were hoping for during our summer break. Our room was clean, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. The hot tub and pool were perfect for relaxing after a day of sightseeing, and everything always felt welcoming and well looked after. One of the highlights for us was the breakfast each morning—it was varied, fresh, and delicious, with something to suit everyone’s tastes. It was a great way to start the day. Another thoughtful gesture we truly appreciated was the flexibility offered after check-out. We were able to store our luggage at the hotel and, later in the evening before our flight, come back for a quick shower and change. This was an unexpected bonus that made a big difference to our travel day. Overall, the villa provided the ideal setting for a relaxing and memorable holiday. The genuine hospitality, excellent location, great amenities, and thoughtful service make this place a real gem. We would gladly return and will definitely be recommending it to friends and family visiting Santorini.

I recently stayed at Irene City Villas, and it was a truly pleasant experience. The property was clean, well-maintained, and provided a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. What really stood out was the amazing hospitality—the staff were not only helpful but genuinely lovely and welcoming throughout the stay. The location is also a big plus—just 700 meters from the main Fira square, making it easy to explore the heart of Santorini while still enjoying a peaceful place to retreat. Overall, everything was great. I’d definitely recommend Irene City Villas to anyone looking for a clean, friendly, and conveniently located place to stay in Fira.

We liked everything about this property, including all the staff associated with it, with special mentions to Liza, Kostas & the cleaning & kitchen staff. The facilities are 1st class, and the property is located in an excellent location, within easy walking distance of the centre, but also retaining that luxury of being able to retreat to somewhere quiet after a long day in beautiful Santorini. You get to choose your breakfast from an extensive list of items for each day of your stay, and it is delivered direct to your front door at the time of your choice. The private hot tub was perfect to relax in and will be sorely missed!! The pool is small, but in my opinion, it is perfect for this exclusive small complex. If you need any recommendations for restaurants, bars, excursions, etc, Liza & Kostas are only to happy to help, and they will also make reservations & bookings for you. If/when we return to Santorini, we will definitely choose this property. Thanks for everything.

The hotel is in a quiet location in Fira with East Island (not caldera) views. It was a short walk to the bus station and the caldera. The suite with private hot tub was beautiful and spacious. The daily made to order breakfast was delicious. The staff was vey helpful and were always available to help out and make recommendations. I highly recommend to anyone who wants to stay in Fira.

The hotel is in a good location in Fira, close enough to the pedestrian stores downtown but far away enough to be quiet. We rented three rooms, two of which were on the bottom floor and adjacent to the shared swimming pool. The two larger rooms (max of 4 people) had ample enough room but not lots of natural light, but that was okay since we only stayed in our rooms to sleep. The smaller room (max of 2 people) was on the street level with the entrance in the front. Breakfast was included and delivered daily to your room, you just had to remember to place your order in the night before. Reception area is small but the staff are super friendly! They helped us secure dining reservations and provided recommendations for family activities which was very much appreciated. There was some walking involved if you want to get to the restaurants, cafes & bars and the streets are narrow and busy so just be careful when walking! There is a cute little convenient store right across the street for water, snacks and any items you may need. A souvenir shop is also attached to the hotel at the entrance.

I would recommend checking with the reception desk to confirm check out details well before the day you leave. We were busy the last day and I forgot to confirm that we had transport back to the port very early the next morning. Fortunately, we were able to grab a ride from another couple across the street who ordered transport and we were able to make our ferry in time!

We stayed in Fira for 4 nights at the beginning of our holiday to Santorini and our stay in Irene City Villas certainly didn't disappoint. Our room was nice and spacious and exactly as advertised when we booked. The hot tub on the balcony was fantastic and we were lucky to have a room where we could see part of the ocean. We had a street entrance which we liked as it was handy access when going in and out. It was also nice having a patio area on that side as it was cooler during the heatwave than the balcony with the hot tub, so we had the best of both worlds. The breakfast every morning was excellent with a large choice of foods to choose from. Lisa and Costas were fantastic to deal with and helped book the most perfect table at Volcano Blue restaurant for the Caldera sunset. We would definitely return!

Nothing, everything was as expected!
