We have been to Santorini four times and really like Imerovigli as a home base to enjoy the island. The sunsets here are stunning without the crowds, especially if you are staying at this villa. This gorgeous villa exceeded our expectations and had absolutely serene vibes. As the “cruise director” of our group trip to celebrate our 10-year wedding anniversary, I am so grateful to Svati, Billy, and Maria for their excellent support and service. I felt like I had the dream team to make all our wishes come true, starting from the delicious and personalized breakfast that accommodated dietary restrictions, to yoga (led by Svati!), refreshing pool and hot tub dips that was cleaned every morning, with refreshed towels, daily invisible housekeeping, to managing transportation and logistics. We also appreciated the help with our luggage; although the stairs are not that steep compared to some other villas we have stayed at in the past.
The Grecian cavern-like architecture, beautiful interior, and comfortable beds, plus the refrigerators and ice machine, were appreciated by our group of well-traveled friends. Oh, and that spectacular view includes Skaros rock and neighboring islands. Tip: Be sure to visit Mikra Thira winery on Thirasia islet. The villa perches right above the Caldera path, which is convenient to walk to restaurants, Oia and Fira villages. I really missed Svati when I went on to other islands, as she was instrumental in our daily planning. The private chef team for a welcome dinner was also a highlight of our stay, including the yoga and massages on that gorgeous patio. I am recommending this to all our friends, and when we go back, I will certainly, without hesitation, return to Villa Erossea. Not only was it a beautiful villa, situated in a perfect location, it included a staff to make any stay memorable.

Rooms
Every room in the villa has a private bathroom/shower except at the main level, one master bedroom uses/shares a common bathroom but is spacious and has a lovely rainfall shower.
Walkability
Located in a prime location, be sure to include an early morning hike to Skaros Rock off the Caldera path. For a lively scene and shopping, you can also walk to Fira for a scenic adventure with majestic views. You’ll get rewarded with the cascading architecture that is quintessential to Santorini. For the fit & lion-hearted, a walk to Oia will be one of your top hikes. Be sure to include time to hop in for a cocktail/snack and bring water/hat.
