Simple House Santorini
Wonderful trip!! Exactly what we were told it would be!! Host was quick to return messages!! The place was clean and comfortable!! We had a wonderful stay!!

Calderimi, a cosy,warm and renovated house in Fira
We stayed 5 nights in Aris"s place in Fira and it was perfect for all our requirements. It is close to the old town for shopping, Restaurants and the sunset views. It is also very close to the main bus station with regular buses to the port, airport and beaches. The house is traditional which makes it cool inside but with modern touches, definitely the best shower of our trip! The kitchen is well equipped for cooking. Beach towels were also a great extra touch and much appreciated. There was always someone available if you needed anything. It was also private with a lovely garden to relax in the evenings without noise from the town. We would definitely recommend booking and we were pleasantly surprised by Santorini also.

AROMA CAVAS Suite with caldera view
I can’t say enough about Nikos. He is by far the best host we ever had. From day one he was full of info about where to go, what to do and of course the nice restaurants. The place is very nice and clean. The pool is definitely a plus but the weather was a bit cold for swimming. Lastly the airport is a 10-minute ride away. Nikos please is a must if you are visiting Santorini. Thanks for everything and the going away present🙏

The Queen's house with jacuzzi and sea view
The most beautiful Airbnb we’ve ever stayed in! This place was perfect! Nice quiet area away from all the tourists. Super clean, beautiful furniture & view from the hot tub. Would definitely stay again!

Old Vourvoulos Houses - Elegant Loft for 2-4!
Super clean, beautiful place, good location between both city centers.

The Small Architect's House with Hot Tub
This little gem was amazing! Set up as two separate apartments on 2 floors, the privacy and space was great for 2 single travelers. The hot tub was a perfect way to relax after being on our feet all day. The location couldn't be better - The town of Pyrgos is not bustling with non-stop tourists. We were able to take photos with no one in them, and really enjoy the views. We took the bus up to Ois for a day trip and were shocked with how many people were there (many from the cruise lines that let off hoards of folks.) Although it was a great place to visit, we were so happy to get back to our quieter town which has amazing views, good restaurants and is centrally located to visit beaches and other sites. This was a perfect choice for us!

Amantes Amentes - Beach House Santorini
Perfect hosts, a peaceful home on a small street two minutes from Black Sands Beach and clear water. The pretty terrace to rest back from a day of visiting the island is undoubtedly a big plus. You'll find restaurants on beach street. However, I recommend a car. No worries, the house has a large parking lot that can easily contain two cars if needed. Kostas had recommended a renter to us that we did not take and with great regret. It was more expensive but a lot of car side scap on the island. Kostas also arranged our return transfers to the port. Her parents came to greet us when we arrived at the house and were there when we left too. Lovely people. I would recommend this place with my eyes closed and wish you a stay one day you won't regret it! Several Airb&b to my credit and definitely one of the best.

Villa Helena Santorini- Private Plunge Pool & BBQ
Very quiet area, You must rent a four track or a car. Close to restaurants, shopping, and beaches

Valery Cave Villa with Heated Pool
A clean and modern apartment as described in the listing and photos. A short walk (10 mins) to all of the shops, restaurants, and amazing views in Fira. The hosts were responsive and helped arrange transportation from the port and to the airport. Would recommend for couples looking to spend some time in the Fira area of Santorini.

106. Hideaway Villa with Heated Pool and Sea View
Extremely satisfied! Went beyond with a stocked fridge and special homemade treats and specialty items in the bathrooms. Definitely need a car so don’t hesitate to rent as travelling on roads no problem (even if busy). Area not easily walkable and is a bit removed - if you want a busy/nightlife/touristy area this is not the place - very quiet (in a good way). Can’t say enough about Konstantina who was readily available to assist with recommendations and bookings. I wouldn’t hesitate recommending and returning.

Villa Trace-2 BR/Heated private pool, Sea view
We had a lovely time at Villa Trace and used it as our base to explore more of the island. Given its location, a car is absolutely necessary especially in the warmer months where it is too hot to be walking in the heat of the day. They also provided a very generous daily breakfast which was a nice surprise. The bedrooms were spacious and we comfortably stayed as a family of 5. My only comment would be that the villa is situated directly next to a busy road (trucks and buses all day and into the evening), which I was not aware of prior to booking. This made relaxing by the pool a little harder with the traffic noise but we still had a fantastic time regardless! Highly recommend if looking for a base to get out and explore.

Felicity Villas Santorini - Victoria
This house is an excellent option for a trip to Santorini. It is in an excellent location, has wonderful hosts, close to the airport, beautiful surroundings and pool. The house has a maid who comes to clean every day. Margarita made us a cake and brought it to us on the first day of our stay. The house is a 5 minute walk to a grocery store, 10 minute walk to the bus stop to go to Fira, and 10-15 minutes walk to Kamari beach. I’d definitely stay here again. Thanks to Margarita and her family for hosting us.

Private Villa with Pool in Oia, view, parking
Beautiful place and exceptional host. Aris met us in person and explained everything plus was very patient with recommendations, organising trips and answering questions.

Bluewhite villa with heated private pool
Highly recommend, we were very well looked after. We came in November but there was still plenty places open for food and a drink. A great time of year to go while it’s still warm enough to swim in the sea but without the crowds. Will be back again!

House for 5 included car,transfer and breakf
We really enjoyed our stay here, car was a bonus. Staff at the apartment and breakfast were great. Owners always on hand to help. Our flight wasn’t till 2200 hours so they have let us stay in the apartment all day which with 3 kids is a life saver. Would recommend

Villa | Duplex Suite with Private Heated Mini Pool
Fay was an amazing host. She was very responsive, offered local suggestions, helped with airport pick up and ATV rentals. The apartments looked exactly like the pictures and they were clean. There was even a lady that showed every day to see if we wanted house cleaning. Although the apartments were in a centralized location in Santorini, I wished there were more pictures in the listing of the view from the apartments in day light to make a more informed choice of the surroundings of the Airbnb. That would have made us think twice as we were not expecting to have a cemetery almost in front of us and a busy soccer field right diagonal to us. Other than the surroundings, the actual apartments were great and everything in them made our stay worth it.
House rentals with pools in Santorini

Latipi House
Eleftheria was so helpful, our flight was delayed and he wait to check us in. Personally I think the place looks better in real life. We rented a car and there was free parking outside sometimes was busy but just a short walk. It’s on the other side of town but nice to be away from the crowds. There is a couple restaurants and supermarket within walking distance so you can always get things. It was perfect and would definitely stay again. Phe from London.

STILVI SUITE
Don’t think twice! If it’s available you’re lucky and should book it! The views are breathtaking and the inside is so unique and picture perfect. Yes, during the day there is foot traffic, but you will hear nothing but compliments and it will make you feel like a celebrity. Having the pool is so very nice and relaxing. In the evening the foot traffic is less for more privacy in the pool. You just can’t beat the views and a super host that helped us with transfers and local recommendations. Galini and Volkan are must try restaurants in walking distance. We really enjoyed the breakfast and both! Georgia is an artist and the decorations and painting in the house reflect her talents. We loved everything about this place and would love to return one day.

Triple garden view(3)
Staying at this place was a fantastic experience. The host arranged transport from the port for us, assisted with renting an ATV, and provided great recommendations on the best places to visit in Santorini. Communication was excellent, and I highly recommend this residence!

Sugarwhite Suite with not Heated Private Pool 1
Host was contactable from the beginning. Communication through whats app was really helpful, Eleni sent us many recommendations of activities and restaurants/services which we might like in the area. Fresh breakfast every morning was amazing, they allowed a 2hour window for breakfast which was really handy to organise our daily activities around. Would highly recommend this Airbnb and we will definitely return to this apartment when coming to Santorini again

Cally Cave House with Private Pool near Fira
Callaway Cave was a great facility. It is great for families or groups. It is private and in a quiet location but still close enough for a short walk to Fira (walk is uphill). The house allows for each group have private quarters but areas that you can all hang out together. Each cave house is unique and has a small kitchen and nice bathrooms. The pool area is also very nice. The host is extremely helpful and really helps to getting you around. He went out of his way to help our large group see Santorini. I would highly recommend this residence if staying at Santorini.

Artium Villa with Outdoor Pool hosted by K&K
Great stay in Santorini! Amazing place, just like the pictures. Thank you for a beautiful honeymoon!

Santorini's Rising Sun Private Villa
The Villa is beautiful with lots of space. Very convenient to everything on the island. Host is great and would highly recommend if you’re looking for some privacy!

Le Grand Blue Villa with Private Pool & Sea View
What a great place to stay in Santorini. We loved our six days. Tony greeted us and gave us lots of information and advice. The outside space is massive with plenty of places to relax and watch the boats go by. Many good restaurants within a few minutes walking distance. We walked around locally for the first part of our stay and only hired a car for just a couple of days at the end to explore a little further afield. Two mini markets (5 mins and 15 mins walking) had all we needed for breakfasts and snacks plus wine, beer and water. The accommodation is perfect for four people and there is lots of shaded seating around the building if you don’t want to get a tan. Note the pool is a small plunge pool. Great for cooling off, but don’t expect to do a workout in it. You can always swim in the sea for that. Add this to your list if you are looking for a relaxing location with great views.
Your guide to Santorini
All About Santorini
Santorini is an 11-mile-long island in the Aegean Sea, southeast of mainland Greece, and is the largest among a group of small, volcanic islands called the Cyclades. Officially known as Thira (Thera, in ancient Greek), Santorini has been inhabited since the Bronze Age. Its 20 or so villages exist atop one of the largest calderas — volcanic craters — in the world; the eruptions throughout its history helped create the dramatic black-sand beaches across its coastline.
Evidence of Santorini’s prehistoric past is on display at the underground Akrotiri archaeological site, where you can see the intricacies of the ancient civilizations who developed multi-floored buildings and drainage systems. The ruins seen today are the result of a volcanic eruption in the 16th century BCE that covered the village in lava and preserved elaborate wall paintings, dwellings, and pottery.
Santorini’s culture is also embodied in its food and drink. Wineries stretch across the countryside, where you can try the island’s native Assyrtiko white wine. Aromas from traditionally prepared coffee fill the cobble-stone streets, brewed with Greece’s specialty briki pot and enjoyed as a social activity. Local dishes prepared with Santorini’s local white eggplant and chlorotyri goat’s-milk cheese make for a dining experience you may not find anywhere else in the world, thanks to the island’s rich volcanic soil and distinct farming.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Santorini
You will find accommodations, including Santorini villas and rural retreats, across the island. During Santorini’s comfortable, warm spring months you can make the 6-mile hike from Fira to the village of Oia and ruins of its 15th-century castle while passing blooming wildflowers like lupins and corn poppies along the way. Mild weather in the fall brings the height of the grape harvest, making it an ideal season for trying one of the nearly 20 wineries scattered across the island.
Take advantage of the hot summer months by visiting some of Santorini’s swim-friendly beaches like Perissa or Kamari Beach. The island also hosts the Santorini Jazz Festival in July and the Ifestia (volcano) Festival in August, featuring fireworks and live music shows. During the colder months, you can take a wintertime dip in the thermal hot springs on Santorini’s smaller, uninhabited island, Palea Kameni.
Top things to do in Santorini
Ancient Thera
Some of Greece’s ancient history is on display atop the mountain of Mesa Vouno, accessible by a 4.5-mile hike or a drive to the ancient city of Thera, named for the volcano that famously erupted near it thousands of years ago. Ancient Thera sits at more than 1,000 feet above sea level; once you reach the peak, you will have panoramic views of the Aegean Sea while you stand among ancient ruins, founded in the 9th century B.C.E. and inhabited until 726 A.D.
Vlychada Beach
You can experience one of Santorini’s famous black-sand beaches at Vlychada. This swim-friendly beach on the southern coast is surrounded by towering cliffs. The best time to visit Vlychada Beach is later in the day for a beachside picnic and sunset.
Megalochori
Megalochori is a village on the southwestern coast of Santorini whose white-washed walls and bell towers tower over cobblestone streets as a former defense against pirates. The village is surrounded by Santorini’s wine country, making it a great place to try some of the island’s most-loved wines like the sweet, amber-colored Vinsanto and the crisp white Assyrtiko. Megalochori also hosts classical Greek music concerts throughout the year.
