Villa Pavlina

This was a terrific stay for me, and my favorite place I stayed at in Greece. I also booked two 3-star places in Athens and Heraklion during my trip, and Villa Pavlina was a better experience than those two recent hotels. The room I stayed at had a more modern furniture and bathroom than the photos show here. The shower was a really nice step-in shower that made me feel like I was really on vacation. Everything was very clean, and the hotel staff were all very nice. It's a family place, and they even did me a small favor printing my boarding pass free of charge. The location was better than I expected -- I originally wanted to stay in Fira but those hotels were a lot more expensive and didn't look very nice. But this hotel is about 5 minutes from the bus stop which goes straight to the airport, and I was dropped there from the ferry port too. The only thing I had to go to Fira for is the bus to Oia, and Fira was about a 20 minute walk. The only minor things that were confusing to me, was my bed didn't have a comforter (but maybe because it was a hot summer), and I had trouble figuring out the entrance. But I did love that they dried the sheets in the sun, so they smelled of the sunshine and ocean. And they have a nice pool and lounge area outside. Finally, the hotel staff were very accessible using the Orbitz messenger and wrote back very quickly. This would be my first choice to stay at if I were to visit Santorini again, and I wish I could have stayed an extra few days.

My family and I really enjoyed this lovely, quiet place, with a small swimming pool. Our room had a fridge, so food and refreshments could be stored. Our host was very helpful, and even made arrangements for us for the transfers we had from the airport, and transfer to the Port of Santorini. We might book here again the next time we visit Santorini, so I can recommend this place. Love from Norway 🙂
