Chelidonia Traditional Villas

The villas have some of the best Aegean Sea views, right from the patio. We found the staff so accommodating, and they helped arrange transportation whenever we needed to explore Santorini. If I could rate the team 10 stars, I would. For a beautiful stay in Oia, look no further. You won't be disappointed.

The customer service was the best, and breakfast was yummy, with a wonderful outlook over the sea and the best parts of Oia. The villa had beautiful caldera views. Getting to the villas can be difficult if you need walking assistance, though a porter is available to carry luggage. The parking drop-off is a short walk away.

Vicki noticed we were struggling with the steep steps to our room. It’s hard to admit we’re getting older, but the incline was a problem. They moved us free of charge to a larger family room with an easier slope for our next two nights, and took care of our bags as well. Before we even arrived, the staff helped arrange airport transport and gave us restaurant recommendations and reservations. Communication was prompt and consistent. We highly recommend this place.

The cheeky terrace was a great place to soak up the atmosphere at lunch or in the middle of the afternoon, when the sidewalks were packed with tourists. We also liked that the hotel’s spot near Santorini’s panoramic viewpoints let us enjoy the island’s atmosphere and picturesque scenery, then see the best views after the cruise crowds had cleared out. We chose it for the view, and the location really is excellent. Most of all, the reception staff were very helpful.
