The view was out of this world! Looked out to the Caldera and the beautiful sunset. Our room was 202 and it was up maybe 10 steps. It had its own private veranda and 2 opening doors onto it. It looked down over the pool and out to sea. The room was a good size and bed comfortable. There was a small table and chairs inside as well as outside on the veranda and also a couch.It was all very clean. Breakfast arrived each morning at our specified time on a tray with items we had selected on checkin.it was delicious. Location wise it is a 25 to 30 minute walk on the flat to Fira. We found it easier to walk as the bus was unreliable. We did manage to catch the bus back. There is a Lidl supermarket 7mins walk away and next door to Lidl was Neon- a Greek restaurant which had nice food. As we were there in October another restaurant had closed for the season. There didn’t seem to be many restaurants in the area.in saying that I’m pleased we stayed there as Fira and Oia were crazy busy with cruise ships. It was a lot more relaxing here.

We loved everything

- Stunning view - Swimming pool and direct access to it from the room (at least room 204) - Breakfast included and served on your terrace each morning. Good variety albeit basic and warm food such as omelettes or bacon may arrive a bit cold. - Wifi. - Spacious room, including bathroom - Friendly staff - Transfers to/from airport and port can be arranged Tip: use the public bus if arriving via the port. It costs 2 euros as opposed to the 30-35 euro fee charged by the hotel and it takes 15 minutes + a 5-6 minute walk (get off at the Grigoris bakery). You can save a lot of money by taking buses to/from the port, airport, Oia, etc. If you are considering renting a car to move around the island, it may not be worth it either for the same reasons. Of course each person's budget is different :)

- Bear in mind that the hotel is not exactly in the center or Fira. You can either walk 30-35 minutes or take the local bus which stops right outside the hotel. Its frequency is every 30 minutes and the last bus from the center of Fira departs at 22:00. Location is by no means bad but you need to plan a little bit ahead - Expensive cost of taxis/private transfers. To be honest this is not specific to this hotel but rather a general thing in Santorini. Expect to pay 30-35 euros per trip, even if it takes only 10 minutes. In our experience buses are reliable and really cheap (1.60-2.00 euros on average) - Lack of a vending machine or minibar to purchase snacks or drinks. That said, there is a small minimarket across the road, a Lidl 5-6 minutes on foot and a bakery also 5-6 minutes away

Incredibly beautiful views from the pool - a real wow moment on arrival! Peaceful & quiet location. Bakery nearby with variety of foods & Lidl supermarket within walking distance. Rooms very clean offering excellent views. Room service with breakfast was a lovely touch. Staff were very welcoming & informative. A restaurant within walking distance. A wonderful resort situated just outside of Fira, escaping the crowded streets & noise. Perfect!

Hotel doesn't have a restaurant on site but as above, plenty nearby for food & drinks to enjoy on your balcony with that view!

The place is exquisite. The view is breathtaking. It is right at the edge of the caldera. The staff is extremely friendly and also very fluent in English. It’s close to Fire town, the bus stop is just outside the hotel at only €2. It is also close to the port. So the location is perfect. It’s great value for money. Breakfast was lovely and fresh with a huge variety to choose from (egg, cereal, croissants, bread, yoghurt, bacon, sausage etc). The room is spacious and neat. The staff responds promptly to requests or questions. They are really warm. I would stay here again. You might think it’s far from the city center but it isn’t, it’s less than 10min by bus. You might be tempted to stay in the city center but those accommodations are either too expensive or not worth the price for the standard. This villa is worth the trade off, a little outside the city center but pretty and comfortable and there is plenty of transportation.

While the breakfast was amazing they did get our order wrong twice but they quickly rectified it. The last bus from Fira is at 8pm so if you stay out till late you have to take a taxi which is €15.

The hosts are very very nice and accommodating - they were available via WhatsApp every time I had a question day or night! The breakfast was the best I have had at a hotel. The view is... UNBELIEVABLE!! ...Breathtaking. The hotel is about a mile south of Fira. We walked to, through, and back from Fira the first day and took a bus that night back to go to the bars. The next day, we took a bus (station right across the street) to Oia - there is a transfer which is kind of annoying and we stayed all day. To get back, we got a taxi which was about 60 Euros with a tip, but it was well worth it.

It was a wonderful stay. One of the days we got back from being out all day - sweaty and sticky, and the hot water was gone, which was a bit of a pill but I think everyone was showering at that time. Also, there is no shower curtain and no way to wash in the shower without water getting all over the bathroom. Not a problem, really, especially with the most perfect view you will ever see in your life!

It was a lovely hotel with wonderful pool, views and breakfast served in the room. Staff was amazing too. The only issue was my wifi didn’t connect the whole time I stayed. It would only connect in the pool area. Lidls is close by to shop for snacks but for any proper reasonable priced restaurants you have to walk at least 30-40 minutes if you have not rented a car or a taxi. If you want street food then you will have to go to fira or other villages which again by foot is minimum 40 minutes walk.

Wifi didn’t connect the whole time I stayed there. Its on the main road away from main towns. So if you didn’t rent a car and travelling everywhere by foot then you have to walk at least good 30 minutes to get to proper town to find loads to different restaurants.

We stayed at Villa Thiranthemis for 7 nights in June 2024. Like most people, we spent countless hours researching Santorini before we booked, trying to ensure our stay was as good as it could possibly be. We are delighted to report that we made all of the right choices. Firstly Santorini was everything we hoped it would be, the people, the sights and the food, were all exceptional, a most memorable experience, an experience influenced in no small part by staying at Villa Thiranthemis. Its central location was absolutely perfect for easily discovering every corner of the island by scooter, which the hotel efficiently organised for us. The clifftop location also provided the most incredible views of the caldera, including the famous sunsets from the privacy of our own terrace. The overall experience was further enhanced by the quality of the hotel, it's facilities and its people, all of which were faultless. This fabulous place is a testament to the owner, who makes himself available 24 hours per day to ensure that your every need is catered for and that your stay in Santorini is everything you wish it to be. There are not many hotels worthy of 10 out of 10, but for us, Villa Thiranthemis was simply perfect!

Having to leave.

Location is top, hotel staff is super friendly and helpful (Manolis can find you a great restaurant reservation with a sunset view!) Good-sized room with a lovely balcony. 5-star view, peace and quiet. Breakfast on the balcony was great.

Fira is not very pedestrian friendly, the main road is very noisy. No zebra lines, small sidewalks, if any. However, the town center is fine. Walk to the town center is around 20 minutes, it's safe even at night but you'll need to light up the path with your phone.

This hotel offers an excellent view and is well-equipped with comprehensive facilities. The rooms are clean and tidy, and the beds are very comfortable. The breakfast is especially impressive, as it can be customized to the guests' preferences. There is also a parking lot in front of the hotel, making it particularly convenient for those traveling by car.Another reason I chose this hotel was because of its charming, traditional Greek guesthouse style—it really added to the local experience.

No improvements needed—they're already doing an excellent job.

The staff were so friendly and helpful. They helped us find everything we needed, gave us suggestions and set-up various bookings to make sure we got to do everything we wanted to. The rooms were incredible and very clean, with the best sunset view on the island. Breakfast was also great. I highly recommend this place!

About a 25 minute walk to the town, which can feel like a lot in the heat. I recommend renting an ATV! Still pretty close to restaurants and other places to eat though.
