Katikies Villa Hotel

Our family stayed in the master suite with the private pool for 3 nights at the end of May. This resort is indeed a very special place. We could not imagine staying anywhere else on the island. The location is perfect--in our opinion, the best location to stay in Santorini. The hotel is located at the beginning of the foot path of Oia, allowing for easy access to all the shops and restaurants but a bit removed from all the crowds. Once in your room or on the private balcony, the resort is quiet and peaceful. The views are spectacular. We booked the master suite with the private pool. We definitely recommend this room. The room has a breathtaking view of the Caldera-we couldn't get enough of it. The pool is a nice size, with a large lounging area. There is also a separate outdoor area with a table where we had breakfast on one of our mornings. Note, the bedroom is in a loft area. There are steps leading up to the bed and a bathtub with a view. The bathroom, closet and sitting area are on the main floor. If you have a third person staying in the room, we would definitely recommend booking this room. There are other room options with the same square footage, but the loft provides for extra space. We booked our stay through Am Ex FHR so breakfast was included. The breakfast is served a la carte--no buffets. Each morning, the kitchen offers specials consisting of baked goods and a few savory options of the day. The specials are presented beautifully and they were very enjoyable. All the food was good. We did not dine at the resort for lunch or dinner. Lastly, and most importantly, we cannot praise enough the hotel staff and their role in making our stay so memorable. From trip preparation, arrival, through check out, the team tended to all our needs professionally and responsively. The front desk and concierge were absolutely amazing--so helpful and kind! In particular, we cannot thank Stella enough. She was such a wonderful resource--every one of her recommendations were perfect. She was extremely attentive to our needs. She reached out to us ahead of our visit and we were able to coordinate all of our activities and transports directly through her. Dear Stella, thank you for everything that you did for us!! We cannot wait to return to Katikies Santorini!

Accomodation, location, quality of hotel and particularly quality and friendliness of staff made this a great trip for my wife and I Santorini overall is super beautiful island too

Truly world class service. Not just friendly, but exceptional. Extremely well-trained staff who consistently exceed expectations with every interaction.

Katikies was the beginning of a nearly 3 week stay in Greece, all of which was outstanding! Our stay at the Katikies was exquisite!. Our room was divine with such a gorgeous view from our patio of the calderra. We took many photos, having received many compliments on the beauty shown. We began each day with a beautiful breakfast with hearty delectable choices and of course your choice of coffees. We were not disappointed with any meal we had there. Service from staff as well as friendliness was so helpful and welcoming. We got to know many by name, Stella, Phillipe, Anji, Nicholas and many many others. We were sorry we had to leave when it was time to go like we were leaving friends. We had a real connection to everyone and everything offered to us. We are already planning our return trip.

Perfect choice! While it costs a little more than others, it is worth it. The location at the end of Oia makes it quieter. The hotel and rooms are gorgeous. The food and service are top notch. The hotel offers a spa and a five star restaurant, Botrini’s, which also makes it unique. The breakfast is fabulous. And the views are one of a kind. Highly recommend!
