Tzekos Villas

The position of these villas was awesome. The pool area was absolutely stunning. Our villa had a little outside area where you could sit and take in the serenity. Easy walk into town, shops, restaurants.

Stayed here for a week and loved it. Good points are: stunning view of the caldera, great breakfast buffet especially for Greek specialities, good pool, helpful staff, and our upgrade to a suite (with stunning view from its balcony). Also privacy - there are other similar hotels nearer the centre of town but the others are all overlooked by passers-by. Downside is that the hotel is built into the side of the cliff so there are *lots* of steps, like 200 or so from the road down to the pool (which is at the bottom of the complex), so this is not for you if you are in any way mobility-compromised or even just unfit. The aforementioned helpful staff will carry your bags to your room for you but you still need to get there yourself!

We absolutely loved Tzekos Villas. The location in Fira, on the Caldera, was perfect. A very short walk to the center of town and the bus stop, it had a perfect sunset view and was away from the tourist traffic of the center of town. The staff was friendly and very helpful with recommendations. We stayed for 8 nights and never had any issues. A delicious continental breakfast was served every morning and the view from the dining area balcony was lovely. There was a bottle of Assyrtiko wine waiting for us in the room, which was a nice surprise. Our room was was clean and comfortable, with an amazing view from the balcony. We could see Akrotyri, Pyrgos, Oia, Therissa and the volcano, all from the comfort of our balcony. If you call the hotel when you arrive at the airport, they will have a porter waiting to help with luggage when the taxi arrives. The porter also helps with the luggage when you leave. It was the perfect small hotel and we cannot recommend it highly enough.
