Firostefani Bed & Breakfast

Plussat: It's a beautiful place where to stay. The outdoor area connecting the rooms is filled with plants and flowers. Walking there has been a real pleasure. The pool large enough and charming and very clean, with space to chill. Large pool towels are provided. The room was very large, clean, nicely decorated and with dual aspect and two balconies, one with full sea view, the other with pool view. In the room we had kettle, fridge, safe and usb charger. The room is cleaned every day. The breakfast is very good for 7€, with a savoury and sweet buffet, mostly homemade products, to be consumed either outdoor by the pool or on your room patio. Elias is a wonderful host, he made us very welcomed, waited for our very late arrival with a bottle of water, gave us plenty of information about the island, booked for us transports and a boat excursion to the vulcano. He's really contributing to a great overall experience. The position is good. Not too close to the busy Fira city centre, but walking distance, with however few steps to arrive to the Villa. Is near to the Firostefani charming village center and the starting point of the hike trail to Oia.

Miinukset: The bathroom was a bit small, with small sink and small shower, without a proper protection from water splashes. Still perfectly usable, however.

Plussat: The host was super friendly and helpful. Amazing location close to the beautiful Fira center

Plussat: The staff

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: What I loved about the place was the excellent service provided by the owner. He was always available to provide expert friendly advice. Further to this, he personally provided transportation to the airport at the end of our stay. Additionally the room was quite nice and the location to the main bus stop and shopping areas was great. I highly recommend this place.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Area, rooms, and the host was great!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Service was amazing from Elias !!!

Plussat: Leo was amazing. So accommodating and friendly I would recommend to anyone.

Plussat: Excellent staff service, Elias gave us all the support and tips we needed to make the most of our time in the island, including renting a scooter and booking our boat trip to the islands. The room was very clean and the Wi-Fi connection was great.

Miinukset: Small shower that splashes water on the bathroom floor whenever used, and two small windows without binds that made the room bright.

Plussat: The rooms were very clean and the pool was great. Elias is very friendly and accommodating. Walking distance to Fira central and bus depot. Great location.

Plussat: Our experience at Ersi Villas was all around excellent. Manager Elias and the rest of the staff were attentive and helpful in every respect. Located just out of Thera, which turned out to be a blessing as it was high season and packed with people and activity, but only a 10 minute walk to get there. Firostefani itself has fine restaurants and a great view of the caldera and sunset, so no need to feel like you're missing out by staying there. Everything on Stantorini is an easy bus ride away, or rent a quad like we did! Nice recommended breakfast with local home-made Grecian delights.

Plussat: The stuff were super friendly. I’ve actually never seen such a spotless room. Very convenient location. Breakfast was fresh and abundant! Cute little pool!

Miinukset: Nothing really. Just be aware that the room is very bright and occasionally you can hear cars passing by. Bring an eye mask and ear plugs if you are sensitive to light and noise.

Plussat: The rooms were beautiful, comfortable, and very clean. The entire complex was beautiful and it is a very short walk to the village about 5 minutes. The staff is extremely welcoming and I had a wonderful stay. Elias was an INCREDIBLE host. I came with 4 other people & our rooms were booked one downstairs and one upstairs. The staff went out of their way to accommodate us and put our rooms next to each other. Elias took the time to give us a map of Santorini and tell us how to get around and gave us tips on things we could do on the island. He also went out of his way to give us extra sun beds when we didn’t have enough. The maids were extremely friendly and cleaned the rooms thoroughly. Elias also let us put our bags in the reception room while we walked through town on our last day before we left for the airport. I am over all extremely pleased with my stay here and would recommend Ersi Villas to anyone visiting Santorini

Miinukset: Nothing!!!!

Plussat: The owners of the hotel were very nıce and frıendly. The place and the vıew were good

Miinukset: It was a lıttle dıffıcult to get there.

Plussat: Fantastic place to stay. Lovely pool, very friendly owners ... so relaxing. Hope to return soon.

Plussat: Quiet environment with clean rooms.

Miinukset: Location is on a hill which make it difficult to get to the hotel. Bed was abit too hard for me.

Plussat: The hoteliers (especially the landlady and her son) were very helpful, very nice and friendly.

Miinukset: Because of its position it was a little difficult to reach.

Plussat: Very polite and kind staff. You have a feeling that all the visitors are like a familly in the hotel

Miinukset: The front rooms have a small problem with the noise from the road but if you close the doors and windows and open the aircondition the problem is over!!

Plussat: Booking process, great pool, clean rooms and surrounding, breakfast,balcony with views.

Miinukset: The room that we booked was not provided, it took much discussion to get the room that we had booked and paid for. There was much questioning as to why we needed this room which was inappropriate as we had clearly booked it.

Plussat: Great little private suite in Firostefani (10 min walk up hill from Fira) with caldera views. The entrance is through a cafe and was a bit hard to spot but once there its beautiful with unbeatable views. It’s important to note that the suite including the hot tub can not be seen from above or below - many similar places we saw in Santorini had a public footpath running right in front of it - this suite is much more private and relaxing. The room is large and refreshing - clean and bright. Bathroom is massive. The staff at the cafe were helpful - I left some belongings in the room and they helped me out to get it back last minute when I realised!

Plussat: We had such a wonderful stay. Quiet & relaxing. Really enjoyed the hot tub. Easy check In with Mr. Regis. Very polite and helpful

Plussat: We loved the location and privacy of aura suites. We did feel pressured to eat at the restaurant above as that’s how you access the suite. We found the suite shower quite dirty- needed a good scrub on the grout and there were a lot of random strands of long black hair throughout the suite. We did get an early check in so we were unsure if it’s usually cleaner and they just rushed to check us in early. The communication is via text which is difficult if you are relying on WiFi for communication. Overall we enjoyed our stay just a few little things we noticed that you expect to be of a higher standard when paying a reasonable amount for a deluxe suite. The views, privacy and spa made up for the smaller things.

Plussat: The view of the property is the best in all Santorini. It’s right in the middle facing Caldera and directly facing the sunset. Rigas, the property manager is amazing. He was so helpful regarding everything we asked him. Amazing experience.

Plussat: View from the terrace was amazing

Miinukset: Contact with staff all down through text and email... no reception

Plussat: What is there not to like. Spacious apartment, modern, breathtaking views. The apartment was cleaned daily with fresh towels. Rigas was more than helpful with check-in and any questions we had. You didn’t want to leave the apartment!

Miinukset: The floor in the shower could use a good clean. Other than that the place was amazing!

Plussat: The comfiest bed I have ever slept in. The views from our private pool were amazing. Everything that Santorini has to offer was literally outside the property. Rigas arranged a driver to collect us from the airport, met us at the car park and took us to our apartment.

Plussat: The property itself is amazing! The location is private and quiet, yet walking distant to stores, shops, food and nightlife. The view is SPECTACULAR. We watched the sunset from our hot tub every evening and didn’t have to fight crowds. The hot tub is more of a warm pool which was perfect for us in August during the day and sunset hours but with the breeze a little too cool at night. No one can walk by your private terrace as you must go trough the cafe above to enter it and the stairs are roped off for suite guests only. Guests at the restaurant cannot see down into your terrace. There are only two suites total. The room was clean. The bathroom huge. The room has high quality fixtures, lighting, bedding and furniture. The bed is very plush and comfortable. They come and freshen your room up daily. They provided us with robes, slippers, bath towels and beach towels. The mini fridge had some sodas and waters in there free of charge (no alcohol as in past reviews but we didn’t expect that just hope for it LOL). We did get a bottle of wine upon arrival but I’m not sure if this is customary or not.

Miinukset: We loved the property. We had a miscommunication when the booking manager said she would send a car for pickup at the airport but none was there. We even had a local Greek woman helping us look for the driver but he was no where to be found. We ended up getting a ride and barely making it in time to check in before the cafe closed. Once we arrived they had to call the restaurant manager to come open the room, that takes about 20 minutes. He was kind and apologetic but stated that the driver was there even though we could find him for the life of us. I would just recommend being SURE you have Regis, the manager with the key, phone number/WhatsApp number once you book. I was given a different number that no one would answer. If we hadn’t made it before the cafe closed we wouldn’t have been able to check in until the next day as there is no reception. So long as you have his number, you can message him when you land at airport or port and he will be there when you arrive. Also, breakfast at the cafe above was not included for us. I swore when I booked the room it was included but they said no and I had no proof. I may have just thought that from past reviews...

Plussat: Very nice view with beautiful sunset/sunrise But it’s very difficult to find the location.

Plussat: Loved the view, room size and the location (near all major towns). Staff were helpful when required.

Miinukset: A reception or welcoming area would make the experience better. This may also help with the communication between guests and staff.
