Lucia Villas

Overall very good!

This is a little gem of a hotel in Santorini. 8 mins walk (we timed it) from the beach. It was a last min holiday which we did have at a bargain, £640 for the 2 of us including flights with TUI. We asked for a high front facing room and we were lucky enough to get one. The view was incredible. The room was small, quirky very clean. Air con was wonderful, as it was really hot when we went. The star of the Hotel was Bee, the young man that worked on reception. I hope the Hotel Owners realise how lucky they are to have him. Polite, courteous and so helpful. The other young man that did the cleaning was also very nice. The only downside to this hotel is the steps, I think if you have any mobility issues you may want to avoid it. There are 15 steps just to get into the hotel reception pool area. Our room was another 25 steps. The Wi FI was good. The safe was €10 for the week. Air con was in with the price. They serve snacks like toasties, drinks at a reasonable price. The location was fantastic, set at the edge of the resort, with a mountain to the side. So much choice of Bars & Restaurants within walking distance. We tried the Millennium Chinese, Hellas, The Indian on the seafront, all excellent. Bobs bar for a drink, great music, & they show the football. We hired a car for the week, pre booked from the airport, so we saw so much in one week as the island is not that big. Although one day we did take the bus to Fira, as it’s a nightmare to park there. The bus service is cheap and efficient. Would I return? 100%.

Stayed here for one week 24th September to 1st October, we had a ground floor one bed apartment with two single beds in the lounge, gorgeous little terrace with mountain views and a secluded area for the early morning cuppa. It was perfect . Spotlessly clean, towels changed every day, bedding every other. The air con worked great which was much needed, the wifi was excellent too . Hot water was never an issue. A ten minute walk to the local restaurants (meals good value for money)and bars/shops. A small incline though when walking back ! Probably not ideal if you have mobility issues. The local 24hour bakery was amazing , a must to visit !!. The icecream there was just out of this world. The local beach was close to the shops etc, but black sharp sand, did not appeal to us. The pool at the apartment was lovely , swam every day, tiny but well needed as our days were so hot. The two guys on reception and Lucia herself are so friendly, helpful and happy to help with your questions. We really have no faults with this place. Would highly recommend and we will be staying here again, soon I hope :-)
