The Vasilicos, Caldera Heritage Suites

We loved our stay at Vasilicos. The rooms are comfortable and the views are amazing. We liked being on the edge of town and out of the crowds. Best of all, the hotel staff is friendly, helpful, and truly delightful. Dimitri and Vanessa are amazing and see to all your needs, while Chris brings coffee and breakfast to your room with a story and a smile. Choose to have dinner and Cyril will prepare you a delicious meal. It was wonderful and memorable experience. Highly recommended.

We stayed in late October in the Vasilicos. Experience was fantastic starting with the kind and gentle crew that staffed the hotel. They made the experience truly unique. Taking care of every little detail from heartwarming breakfast to connecting us with all the sightseeing experiences in Santorini. The wonderful views combined with a very comfortable suite that included a private heated pool, allowed us to relax and have a much needed rest. Thank you Dmitiri and the entire staff (including Summer).

Where to begin?!||There are so many things that made our stay at the Vasilicos unforgettable, but my first thoughts have to go to the outstanding team. Dimitris welcomed us with such warmth and was immediately helpful - happy to share suggestions on excursions, restaurants and travel. Speaking with RJ, Ellie, Chris and Vanessa throughout our stay too was a true pleasure, and the team’s genuine kindness made every moment feel effortlessly special.||The location was perfect. We decided not to rent a car during our stay and the Vasilicos is situated with the Caldera coastal trail on the doorstep, so it couldn’t have been easier to explore on foot. It took around 15 minutes to walk down into Fira, or the same to walk up to Imerovigli. It was also simple to use the buses which run every half hour between Fira and Oia. ||The Vasilicos is beautifully designed, with such gorgeous attention to detail. We loved learning that it was originally a family home and it was wonderful to feel its original charm and character preserved. It’s clear that each and every personal touch has been considered to make the stay as special as possible, from the homemade lemonade, to the abundance of pillow choices, to the Burleigh Calico crockery.||Taking the stairs down to our suite, Efta - with its breathtaking view and patio overlooking the bay - felt like being transported into our own slice of peaceful Greek paradise. It was perfectly calm and wonderfully private - such a contrast to some of the busier accommodations we saw elsewhere on the island. ||There were many ‘pinch me’ moments, one of which was breakfast on the patio. The food was delicious and so generous (compliments to the fantastic chef!). A special mention must also be made for the Loukamades, which were the best we had in all of Greece!!||The vibe at The Vasilicos is tranquil and laid back, yet everything you could possibly need is taken care of. The service is first class - attentive without ever feeling intrusive - and it all combined to make the experience feel like a true home away from home. We feel incredibly lucky to have stumbled upon this beautiful place, and will always hold it close to our hearts. ||We didn’t want to leave!

If you’re heading to Santorini and want something quiet, intimate, and truly relaxing, skip the big resorts. I stayed at this small hotel tucked away from the crowds, and it was honestly perfect. Only a few rooms, super peaceful, and just a short walk to everything you'd want, restaurants, views, little shops, but far enough to feel private.||||The staff were incredible, warm, attentive, and genuinely helpful. They gave us great local tips (we found a sunset spot with zero tourists) and even helped arrange wine tour. Breakfast was a highlight: fresh pastries, fruit, yogurt, eggs, served either on the terrace or brought to your room.||||Our room had its own balcony with a sea view, and I swear I’ve never slept better. Quiet, comfortable, and just the sound of the wind and sea. No loud tour groups, no crowded pools, just calm.||||If you want something low-key, romantic, and personal, I can’t recommend this place enough. It felt like a little sanctuary in one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been.

Don’t look further, book this hotel right away!|Location - perfect! When ppl trek all the way to the Imerovigli viewpoint to take pictures, you’re right below them, with the best caldera sunset view. We like that it’s away from the crazy Fira or Oia crowds (spent 15 min at each location and had to get away quickly), but still walkable to many nice restaurants nearby.|Rooms - we stayed at King Cat and Pergola. Love King Cat for its direct caldera view from the bed, though the room is a bit small and no comfortable lounge chair on your terrace. Pergola has a nice private jacuzzi pool, big terrace and nice big room. We stayed on the lounge chair under the pergola for a whole afternoon. |Service - Chris, Dimitris and the cleaning crew are the best. Always professional, helpful and pleasant. Thank you for a great holiday!

Absolutely incredible experience! Superb location. Beautiful accommodations. And a staff that is absolutely unparalleled! They made the experience. Each and every staff member from housekeeping to food service to concierge went above and beyond. They not only tried to meet all of our needs, but to anticipate all of them as well. They are undoubtedly the key asset for this amazing property!

We could not have asked for a better experience in Santorini. The Vasilicos is both private and intimate, things we crave being from a big city like NYC. We stayed in the Efta suite, the honeymoon suite, only one of 7 rooms, with its own private stair and terrace. The amazing view of the beautiful Caldera from our private pool and terrace felt like ours alone. However, what made The Vasilicos even more special are the people. Dimitris, the concierge, and Chris, who carried our lavish breakfast down to us every day, and their team took personalized care of us and spent time talking with us during our stay. This can only happen in a special boutique hotel like The Vasiicos. If you want to be away from the crowds, centrally located on the island and pampered, then The Vasilicos is the place for you!

This is perhaps the best hotel we have ever stayed in! Mind you we had the Belvedere Suite so that helps but for any room, the breakfast is amazing, the staff incredibly helpful and courteous but most of all, the views are incredibly stunning.... we spent probably less time than we should out and about on Santorini because we loved our hotel and ita views so much!! A special recognition for the concierge service and Dimitris who was a great help both before our arrival and during it - he's a very organized and conscientious guy you can rely on.
