Belle Etoile Villas

From the minute we arrived to the moment we left the staff were amazing. Friendly, happy, engaging. Away from the noise of the crowds it was a breath of fresh air. Yet still only a short walk to Imerovigli. The suite was great - loved the hot tub, the views. The pool and sun deck was beautifully kept, quiet and relaxing. Great small hotel!!

I stayed in this lovely quiet intimate little place for a week with my two children in June 2023. Our room was clean and freshly painted with lots of room we had an outdoor jacuzzi bath on the balcony that we enjoyed using. The room has lots of lovely touches like bathrobes and slippers and complimentary items in the bathroom and the kitchen. The mini bar was great as the nearest shop is a bit of a walk. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful and the served breakfast was lovely as was the room service. The villa is a short uphill walk to imerovigli that has the most amazing views and it’s also close to visit Oia and Fira. We would recommend staying here.

I booked the Belle Etoile back in 2019 in readiness for my wedding in 2020. I booked out the whole hotel to ensure that I could have all my family out there with me and we could enjoy all the facilities without having to share! Almost like a home from home. My wedding was postponed due to the pandemic and while that was of course devastating - Avgi had no problem with me postponing at all and found a week for me that would work. When I told her I had to postpone again, she did the same thing. It was no problem for her at all. I think that is the most important thing to say here... nothing is a problem for Avgi or her sister Bella. Nothing is an issue and there isn't anything that they can't fix or find a solution for. We were a group of 25 people and while the hotel wasn't at full capacity with us all there - we'd taken over all the rooms and we were everywhere. Lots of requests and demands from all over the place, usually fielded through me but Avgi would just get on and get it sorted. So to start with - their service is fantastic and their support for me was second to none. I could not have asked for more from them and even if I had - it wouldn't have mattered as Avgi or Bella would have found a way of making that request come true. I would say... they help to make dreams come true. Now onto the hotel itself. It's a beautiful boutique hotel with ten rooms. Each one is unique and slightly different. I personally stayed in the honeymoon suite which was amazing. I have one TINY request and that would just to be to have a chest of drawers as I like be able to put all my things into drawers BUT let me make this really clear, that's a personal preference. There was so much space in the room as well. My room was a secluded space away from the main hotel and it had a hot tub. Fantastic view from the hot tub. They provided robes, fresh towels, slippers, toiletries, the mini bar was stocked, they had little extra 'Santorini' nibbles as well in each of the room. My room came with an iron and ironing board, hair dryer, massive dresser and mirror as well as a really big bathroom with waterfall shower and standard shower head. The bed was huge and SO comfortable. I'm also pregnant, Avgi actually went out and got me a pregnancy pillow to ensure that I slept properly. The other rooms all are equipped with kitchens, microwaves, fridges, some of the rooms have irons but you can request this from the reception as well. The A/C can also switch to heating which was needed on a couple of nights because we went out in early May, that meant the evenings were a little chilly. My parents and my sister's family stayed in the superior suites down at the bottom of the hotel. They both have hot tubs too and are lovely rooms - really spacious. I feel like the Belle Etoile was the best choice for me as I had guests that required disabled access and most of the hotels in Santorini aren't designed for this. The Belle Etoile is one of the few that has a ramp, that ha

My wife and I stayed for a few nights during our honeymoon. THE MOST BEAUTIFUL ISALND!! VIEWS!! At night, during the day. It didn’t matter! Beautiful stay with amazing service! The front desk attendant helped us set up our adventure activities and renting a 4 wheeler (much needed if you want to fully enjoy Santorini!) the breakfast was excellent every morning! We cannot wait to return for another visit!

We rent a honeymoon suite and it was okay. The hotels views is sunRISE not the sunset. We ordered from the room service some lunch and we waited 1h 30min to get them COLD. They didn't give us any discount or even apologize. There was sunbeds but a few of them was covered with rust and dust. Bed is soft and nice. Room was clean and nice cold from the AC. Hotels neighbourhood is not so nice. Very busy road (high way almost) and some trash barrels here and there. Not gonna recommend this hotel, sadly. :( It wasn't worth the money (and we paid same as is with the caldera views hotel).

A nice hotel, with sea views (not Caldera side), but noise from the road quite loud at times. It is quite remote and we didn’t have a car, the walk into Fira is 15 minutes but on the dangerous roadside, otherwise 45 mins along the coast path. The walk back from Fira at night along this path is beautiful with the small streets lit up. You need torches for the part between the Imerovigli town and hotel however. We weren’t aware that there was no direct bus back from Oia to Imerovigli town, you have to go to Fira and come back. The team at reception are friendly and willing to help. I wouldn’t recommend the Lyra room - noise from the street and the wind blows down the chimney all night. The biggest disappointment was breakfast - packaged sliced bread is a shame when there are so many beautiful bakeries around. Inefficient individual service as you have to order items and quantités the night before, everything wrapped in clingfilm (COVID rules were finished). I am sure this can be improved!
