Caldera Butterfly Villas

We had a brilliant stay here. STUNNING VIEWS. Room was great. We had our room cleaned everyday and towels changed. Staff were all very polite. We highly recommend this villa and will definitely be returning here again in a future trip to Santorini!

We arrived at the accommodation late evening and found a spotless room equipped with everything you need - fridge, kettle, cutlery, plates, glasses and water. There was also a basket with a few coffee sachets, sugar, a few teas and crackers. (Take english tea if you have it as lemon and green there) We opened the balcony doors and was blown away by the view (even in the dark!) Simply the best sea view we have ever had. The room was clean, bathroom a good size with a decent shower. Tv has netflix and amazon prime which was a bonus. Has air conditioning, worked ok. There are some sun loungers around a nice pool, temperature was great. A few parasols too. There is no bar or restaurant. You can purchase breakfast for €15pp. We had this the first morning. You get plenty for the cost. There is a little shop across the road, which sells cold drinks, alcohol, snacks etc. further down the road there is a lovely little coffee/bakery called Tyros. The owner is absolutely lovely and they have really nice coffees, juices and also croissants, greek pies, rolls etc. Would recommend more than the €15pp breakfast of you don’t mind a 10 min walk. The breakfast is nice though to have delivered to your room. The town of is a 25 ish min walk. It is a busy road, but there is a path. We booked a sunset boat trip through reception, which was fantastic, definitely recommended. Receptionist was lovely (older lady) found the younger one a little off sometimes. Room was cleaned everyday. The accommodation is on a busy road, so you have to be careful. And it is a walk to the town. But its so worth it to have the view. There is also a lidl about a 15 min walk away. We bought cheeses, meats and tzatziki etc and used the fridge. Also liked that there is a huge mirror with a stool and plug socket. Plus a good hairdryer. Only complaint is the bed. It was so creaky! Overall amazing.

For the location it was excellent budget accommodation with one of the worlds best views. We had a basic room (large tv, minifridge, kettle, hairdryer, etc.) small veranda overlooking a very nice pool AND THE CALDERA. It is kept scrupulously clean (maid every morning). Receptionist (Jane) and handyman (Alexsi) extremely helpful and eager to please. Lots of larger more expensive neighbours that have rooms with private plunge pools and a few with bars and restaurants that will make your bank manager cry, But central Fera is only a 25 min easy walk or 5mins (8Euro) by taxi, there is a bus stop almost outside with Fera (8mins), Pyrgos (5mins) (so good quality reasonably priced dining is not far away) and direct buses to Kamari, Perisia, Akrotiri, etc. All fares either 1.6E or 2E. For us - it was perfect

The scene from the property is great.

My husband and I stayed here for our first wedding anniversary after getting married in santorini last year. This is the WORST place we have ever stayed... the rooms weren't cleaned properly, we used the same 2 dirty glasses for a week and they refused to give us clean ones. There was bags of rubbish left on our balcony, there was no coffee or tea in our room, no breakfast provided so we had to walk up the road every morning for a coffee. No hotel bar or music or anything around the pool area. They also wouldn't let us borrow an iron or help us with our luggage. The staff were rude and lazy! The morning we left one of the members of staff (an elderly lady- i assume the owner) was shouting at myself and my husband in front of all of her other hotel guests because we refused to pay £24 euros for some flowers the hotel had provided of their own accord. She turned to me and said 'and you are married to him?' I found it extremely personal and unprofessional and was shocked by the way she treated us as customers. We have been fortunate enough to stay at many places around the world and NEVER have we stayed somewhere so poor. Would NOT recommend!!!
