My wife and I spent the first part of our European honeymoon in Santorini at the Villa Anemoessa and we loved it. We stayed mid-October 2011 and though it was a bit cold and windy...our 2-story Apartment (with the bed in the second floor loft) was very cozy. It was both of our first times in Santorini, and since it was off season, we elected to rent a car and tried to find the hotel after a very long travel day from Chicago. After being assured by the rental guy at the airport that it was easy to find ("Just look for Santorini Mou and turn right") we set off. In retrospect, should have read the last mail Irini sent because we got very lost in Oia. Look for the Windmill replica that said Oia Suites as you first reach Oia and turn right is what she said. (much better directions since there are no street signs and Santorini Mou's sign is only visible heading out of town. Hotel is kinda far from town, which wasn't a big deal with the car, but close enough for a long walk. Irini was an awesome guide and breakfast was truly a highlight...I'm still craving the yogurt, cookies and ham panini. View was of sea, not caldera but not a big deal...still gorgeous. We were lazy a few evenings and ordered room service dinner and it was delicious, even though a limited menu.

My husband and I stayed at Villa Anemoessa for 5 nights in July 2011 (apologies for the late review). The hotel was spotless, our room was very clean. We loved lounging around the pool, looking out the beautiful view. Breakfast was really good, we could have it delivered to our balcony or by the pool. We rented a car for one day, Irini was really kind and made the booking for us. Thanks Irini, your help and direction was what we needed to make the most out of the six days in the island. Also thanks to your Dad, Mum and Aunty who made us feel so welcomed. We will be back.

My husband and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary at the Villa Anemoessa and totally loved it. This hotel is run by a fantastic family that really goes the extra mile. At the same time, it feels small and exclusive without feeling snobby. Our room was in great condition, comfortable beds, beautiful view and was private. The pool was great and had lots of seating.

The night we arrived we were hungry and Irini (our hostess) directed us down a small village road to a near by family run restaurant. We sat out under the stars enjoying some of the most incredible food. If Irini hadn't told us this place was a restaurant though we would have walked right on by as it looks like someone's personal home from the outside.

The location of the hotel is great. It was an easy 10 minutes stroll into Oia.

I highly recommend staying at the Villa Anemoessa.

We echo pretty much every review here - we decided on Villa Anemoessa thanks to them, and don't regret it! Stayed here in August (apologies for the late review) and everything was great. The location is just so, so peaceful. The view is beautiful, the room was great, the breakfast, delivered to our balcony every day, was lovely. Irini is a treasure, as are her hand drawn maps. Santorini is a place you could easily spend a large fortune, but not have as nice a stay as we did. We'll be back!!
