Posted 15 Aug 2024 on HotelsThe perfect place from which to Abrazo Villas
Very comfortable and Nice room. Plenty of electric sockets to charge my devices and work perffect free wifi. Great TV and really excellent hot shower, so easy to use. Friendly staff and fantastic breakfasts. I love the swiming pool. The hotel is very central within easy reach of shops, eating places and buses and the Central Station. I will certainly be back."

We loved our stay at Abrazo Villas. We stayed in the Corali Villa and really liked how much space there was inside the acommodation with a large outdoor seating area also. The staff were super friendly and helpful, and you can rent ATVs and Scooters on site.The pool area is spacious and clean with lots of shade, tables and sunbeds. The elevated view over the east coast of the island from the pool area is great. A short walk up a relatively steep hill and you are in the middle of Imerovigli with access to lots of great restaurants, and you can follow the spectacular Caldera walk to Oia.

Best stay ever!
Posted 17 Apr 2024 on HotelsOur family had an AMAZING time at Abrazo Villas. We stayed in the Thalassa Villa and it was ideal for our group of 5. The rooms were clean, modern, and spacious. The view of the pool and the ocean in the background was absolutely breathtaking! The concierge staff were also friendly and super helpful. They did everything to ensure that we were comfortable during our stay. We were also pleased with the breakfast. It was so nice to enjoy our meal on our terrace every morning. It was the cherry on top! You will not regret staying here.

We stayed in the Thea villa which is located at the back of the villa complex. The villa itself was very clean, the hot tub was lovely and there is a Carrefour literally about a minute walk from the villa.
We had an optional free breakfast which was nice of cold cuts, bread, coffee and juice. The sunrise from the villa itself is such a sight to behold and you can see it from bed which is an added bonus.
Communication was great here and the staff were very friendly and giving us advice about where to go and where to eat, even offering to get us reservations on places on our behalf - thank you Irina!
I've read a few reviews on here about it being too hilly and the roads being unwalkable. Whilst I would say that yes, the roads in Santorini generally don't have footpaths, that's not exclusive to this place so don't rate it against that. And to anyone complaining about how steep it is, again, yes it is steep, but if you look at a map before you arrive at the island, you will realise it's literally a volcanic caldera so I don't know what people really expect. To solve this, the villa offers to hire ATV/quad bikes to get around for quite a reasonable price, and it's such a great way to get around so highly recommend that.
To people also claiming on sadly missing out on the sunset, it's a 10-15 walk up to Imerovigli (it's a steep hill) or a 1 minute drive with a quad, which again, I recommend, so it's really easy to catch the sunset if you wish to see it, it's not hard.
5*!!

Overall this property was disappointing. Located on a very busy uphill road, definitely not walkable. The road is very noisy at night and there was a constant loud noise throughout the night that kept us up. The bed is pretty uncomfortable. The breakfast was disappointing, stale cookies and bread. Not many vegetarian options (fruit, few slices of cheese and hard boiled eggs). Called to ask for more coffee for breakfast but was told we were unable to get any cappuccinos or espresso. The service was not the best, only cleaned our room once during our 3 night stay. Never replenished our toilet paper or shampoo/ body wash. Was only offered 2 water bottles for our entire stay. The pool area was nice and the pool bar had really good food. Overall we expected more from a 4 star hotel.

Dear Katie, thank you for taking the time to make an attempt to discredit us as a hotel, albeit a failed one. It is remarkable how eloquent your feedback is, when you hardly uttered 10 words to us while staying here, despite our efforts. From the first moment you arrived, you did not like the room, although it was exactly the type and name of the villa on your reservation. The next day you complained about a "buzzing" noise in the room, when our staff went to investigate in the room with you, there was no sound but complete silence.Upon arrival, we provide our guests with 2 large 1,5 lt bottles of water, but we specifically mention that they are not renewable daily. Also, on your breakfast form, which you eagerly completed daily without asking for more vegetarian options, it says only filter coffee. We do not provide other coffees at 8-10 am, but we offered to order you one from nearby and you simply refused. For the record, your room was cleaned daily and all bathroom utilities are also renewed when being consumed, it is a routine procedure for us.Honestly, we believe some people can be served caviar and complain about the colour, it is a matter of perspective we guess. And we thank you for the compliment of calling our pool "nice with good food", we assumed you would praise it much more highly considering you constantly said how amazing it was while you were here (well not you actually, your boyfriend did). We also thank you for praising our quads that you enjoyed renting in our hotel, we guess you forgot mentioning that as well, viewing it was your boyfriend who drove it. Next time, we recommend you take it for a spin, maybe it will change your perspective on life. Thank you and good luck.Abrazo Villas Team

Run away from this property. See pics for your info. Listen to the bad reviews, horrible place, overpriced, not a 4 start hotel, more like a 1 star hotel, they are scamming people. After pointing out such disgusting, dirty conditions, no money back was granted, we had to book two different hotels, no concern at all to fix the situation. Entitled, tried to prove us wrong constantly, Shane on Expedia gif posting this place. See it for yourself!

Dear Jenifer, your feedback of your recent "non stay" with us can only be characterized as slander, as it is obviously not only subjective but a mere attempt of utter defamation of our establishment. For the sake of our guests, we will uncover the real facts behind this review. When you arrived to our hotel, we welcomed you and even offered you the special cranberry juice for your child and you were very impressed by your room when you saw it. Some time later you complained about the color of the jacuzzi being green which we explained was due to the fact that we put fresh water and chemicals inside and assured you that it will change in a couple of hours. When we asked you if there was something else wrong with the room you said no and even used the characterization ''brilliant''. You then complained about the price being too high and when we assured you that our payment from Expedia was much less than the one you paid to the third party, you refused to acknowledge the fact and asked for a refund based on the green colour of the jacuzzi. Eventually you left and when you came back and found the jacuzzi blue as promised, you THEN began to search for dirt in the room in the most unreachable places like ceiling cracks or even more absurd on the walls (which had black designer paint dots) and when you found nothing, you took the sheets off the bed and searched in the stone base of the bed and under the mattress in a desperate frenzy to find a dirty spot, obviously aiming at finding a blaming base to put us at fault so that you could then make your absurd reimbursement demands (also against Expedia policy). Eventually when you found nothing substantial and we refused to reimburse you for the amount you never paid to us, you left in the most disturbing manner shouting curses in the pool and throwing the keys to our staff at the reception. We should actually report you for abusive behavior and were on the verge of calling the police when you finally left. It should be known that we do have video recordings of this of course but we are unable to attach them here.We were holding the room empty for the days of your stay in case you came back and were on alert to contact the authorities. We are really grateful for your departure, as it is our duty to protect our guests against potentially aggressive behavior.We will leave our guests and reviews to make their conclusions about your words and wish a lot of patience to any other establishment you cross the threshold of.

The villas are very pretty and in excellent condition. The pool setup is great as well as the pool bar. Transportation to OÍA is very easy but for Fira you need to walk up a big hill (5-7 minutes walk) to be able to take a bus. Otherwise the transfer options are expensive. Breakfast is average ( dry/hard bread). Unfortunately, I got bitten by bed bugs at this hotel ( I realized at the second night and saw the bed bugs when I woke up! The hotel manager managed this very poorly, made me feel as it was me maybe that brought them? I took longer to submit my comments as I wanted to make sure that there was no bed bugs at the hotel in Athens I previously stayed before going to Santorini. I am back to Athens and no bed bugs here. Be aware of what just happened to be in such clean hotel?

I love the lava room where we stayed because it has the best view of the caldera,of course it comes with a price. Mathew and his brother were very accomodating and helpful. Their chef, Dimitri, was very nice,and we enjoyed chatting with him about Santorini, and also the menu we ordered was really good. The only major issue for us was accessing the hotel. While it is only 5 minutes walk to the bus stop, it's going uphill and no designated side walk on a narrow 2 lane road,with very fast local drivers, they don't give way or slow down for pedestrians. This would've been a nice stroll if not for the safety issue. Unless, you use taxi or rent a car,this is a beautiful quiet place.
