The villa was run by Emi and her delightful family, who made the stay a real pleasure. The location is at the more peaceful end of the island, which is nice if you want to avoid the crowds. The accommodation was simple but well laid out and supplied everything we needed. The restaurant put on a lovely breakfast and dinners were excellent as well, and reasonably priced. The pool was great for cooling off and we enjoyed Caldera beach nearby, although it was a hike down and up.

The room and property were as advertised. The establishment is mostly family operated. They're very warm and helpful people and make you feel at home. Breakfast was very good as well. They open the restaurant for dinner from 7 to 10 pm but we didn't have the chance to give it a try; we'd always come back late. The ride from Fira is 20-25 min by car depending on the time of the day. We chose this location because it's away from the noise and crowds of Fira and Oia. We had a view of the caldera from our balcony. Free parking. Would definitely stay again at this property.

The staff were amazing and exceptionally helpful. They even gave us a lift for free to our dinner reservation and to the archaeological site on our last day. The host provided me with a jacket to make sure I wasn’t cold. They went above and beyond.

Emi and her family are wonderful hosts, they cannot do enough to help you. The home made food was delicious too, so we chose to eat at the hotel a few nights. The location is fantastic, just a short walk in to the centre of Akrotiri, away from the crowds that visit Oia and Fira. It has everything you could want or need. We will definitely go back.

First of all: Emi is the nicest host I ever had at a hotel! She and her family were sooo nice and helpful. They did everything to make us feel welcome. Our room was even ready before check-in and it was clean and spacious enough with our two suitcases. The bed was comfortable and we also liked the little nook outside in front of our room where we could sit in the evenings. We really liked the location, quiet and away from the more touristy areas but you are in Fira after a short drive of about 20 minutes. Breakfast was served by the family and there were always some homemade sweets or else included. We also enjoyed dinner at the hotel, precisely the saganaki and tomato fritters, you have to try those :-) If we ever come back to Santorini, we will definitely book Villa Galinia again.

Our host was very gracious. We arrived earlier than our check-in time and she offered us their a la carte breakfast. We stored our luggage and went out touring.

The room was very big with the jacuzzi always ready, full to the top and warm with amazing views of the Caldera. Even though we stay few hours at this place, the people from reception and breakfast lady were extra kind and lovely. We loved this place very much and without any kind of doubt we would book another stay here.
