    It is noisy from the road that is very near the house and the lights flicker a lot in every room.

    The house is very nice and clean. The hostess is very nice and made us great breakfast, WiFi and the AC work well. There is a lot of space inside.

    Breakfast was served between 8 AM - 11 AM, which was not so convenient when we had to go out early.

    Great location, easy access to the property. Super tasty breakfast. Vegetarian options were good.

    Nothing really....

    Anastasia and Neela were excellent hosts and very helpful and prompt with whatever we wanted. Had a perfect family vacation and will most certainly recommend this villa for those who want to be in the quieter part of Santorini. Sunsets of the roof top of the villa could be as best as it could get.

    Nothing, everything was perfect!

    We had a magical 4 nights at Arcana Santorini Villas ! The location of the property is spectacular. Waking up to a beautiful view was like we were in a dream. The terrace was huge and we really enjoyed eating breakfast there every morning and watching the sunset there in the evenings. What else do you need? The best place to stay in Santorini!!! Our breakfast every morning was delicious - delivered to our terrace at the time that suited us! The rooms we stayed in was perfect, very comfortable beds and everything was super clean! All the staff at the property were so wonderful - such amazing service, ensuring we were looked after at all times. I've already recommended this property to my friends and I can't wait to visit again! Thanks very much to Nila and the whole team at Arcana ! Thank you for the amazing days!

    A real gem of a place with a wonderful host.

    The steep staircases with scant handrails were a little hairy with the young children, but it was a minor point as we were often out and about and did not spend that much time indoors.

    Personalised touches throughout. Mrs Nila met us and welcomed us, and nothing was too much trouble. The breakfasts were outstanding, different homemade food everyday, and we were very well taken care of, not only by Mrs Nila calling around restaurants over the Easter period for us, and giving us the locals’ tips for anything we asked, but she even had local homemade treats prepared for our arrival, and gave the children Easter goodies. Renting the 2 villas with extended family worked extremely well, and the outside areas were lovely for the children to run around in. We would very highly recommend.

    There was nothing to not like about.

    The view from the villa is amazing, you can see the sea & mountains at the same time. The breakfast was amazing and the breakfast menu was different everyday. The kitchen was filled with complimentary items and Nila the owner was a wonderful host.

    The location of the property and the accomodation itself is stunning. Neela (the owner) handed us the keys and even cooked us dinner, as we arrived a bit late and were all very tired. Her cooking is AMAZING! I recommend that you try at least one of her dishes to really taste the greek kitchen. She also prepared us breakfast, with different dishes every day and advised us to visit places only locals know about. She is THE BEST! :) The villa was very spacious (it has 4 floors) and nicely decorated. It has 4 terraces so you can really enjoy the views through the whole day. The property also has a parking lot and is easily accesible.

    Neela was the perfect hostess! She was very welcoming and kind to us. We look forwarded to her breakfast every day. She's an amazing cook!! Anastasia was also so very helpful and accommodating in assisting us with taxis and our car rental. These wonderful ladies made our stay at the Villa that much better. The location and Villa are beautiful and very comfortable. I would definitely recommend getting a car rental so you can drive freely to Oia and Fira along with visiting the beaches nearby. We really enjoyed ourselves and we would definitely go back!

    Everything was just perfect. The host is one of the kindest person we ever met. The house is spacious, clean and cool. The patio and garden are beautiful. The kitchen is well equipped. The location is near the road with high traffic, so it is a bit loud, but the patio and garden is hidden behind the building. The advantage of the location is that you have an easy way to travel with the rented car. A safe parking place inside the property is provided as well. The view from the patio is really nice, looking at the Aegean sea through the traditional Santorini vinefield was just amazing.

    My only real issue with the property are flies and hot water. Now I'm not sure if it was the area the property is located or the season, we went in September, but the property was infested with flies. Also hot water, or lack of it, was an issue. There are 2 separate homes on the property. When we first got there, it was only our property that was rented. So the hot water was some what flowing. When the other property had renters there was no hot water. Even the other renter's we're complaining about the lack of hot water. If you enjoy hot or warm showers, hotels might be a better option. If it wasn't for the lack of hot water or the flies the property is perfect.

    The home is big enough to accommodate a family of 5 to 6. The staff a mother and daughter team were amazing, you have someone on property that is very helpful and a great cook. Her cooking services isn't free but worth every penny. You basically had a private chef available and it was still cheaper than eating out everyday. If you rented a car, the location of the property was perfect. By the way, taxi or Uber are really expensive. You are better of renting and easier to get around. The home is in a quiet area but close enough to touristy areas. The property has air conditioning in the bedrooms but not in the living room. FYI YOU CANNOT FLUSH TOILET PAPER OF ANY KIND, SAME IN MAJORITY OF SMALLER HOTELS IN SANTORINI. There plumbing sucks and if you do the smell that follows is a killer.
