The Fisherman's House Santorini

another wonderful stay with you at Fishermans House. The second stay for my wife and the 1st for me. I have travelled extensively on business and have come to appreciate the detail in accomodation and the personal touch that is so often missing. Your endeavours to provide spotless, well serviced accommodation, an amazing breakfast platter and the warmest welcome we have ever experienced are not wasted on us. Your personality and commitment to excellence shone through our entire stay and the availability of the thoughtful extras you made available to us made us very happy. It s rare, in this climate, to find yourself experiencing this level of friendliness, service and helpfullness- and we are gratefull for all your endeavours!

The area was great, close to the sea and near to very beautiful places to visit. We had a wonderful time because the hospitality offered by Vana and Xenia was unforgettable. The room was spacious and very clean. The pool was large and spotlessly clean. The breakfast was equivalent to that of a 5-star hotel. We thank Vana very much for the hospitality, and we will definitely choose them again. ♥️

If you are used to 5* large chain hotels then this may not be for you, however you will miss meeting a wonderful woman named Vana, a force of nature, a modern-day Greta Garbo , who runs the hotel and heads up a small, friendly team of staff. We found the facilities to be exactly what we needed, balcony and veranda, all with a fabulous sea view. It is a small hotel with a very decent-sized swimming pool, so there was never any concern about seating and, in any case, each room has designated loungers by the pool. A delicious breakfast was brought to the table of our veranda each morning, at which point Vana would discuss our plans for sight-seeing and offer really useful suggestions on the best places to go in terms of authentic Santorini (sometimes not easy to find). Across the road from the hotel is a country road leading down to the sea inside the caldera, the views are stunning and if you have an interest in geology then you can get very close to 100s of millions of years of rock formations. Santorini has become over-crowded with tourists and so many of the more famous parts of this small island are really to be avoided, especially as the noise from silencer-free quad bikes can be quite over-whelming. But The Fisherman's House is situated in a much quieter area of the island and we felt we had reached sanctuary when getting back there each evening. But I cannot emphasise enough how important Vana was to the pleasure of our stay - as an example, we had problems with our car hire at one point and Vana was straight in there, fighting our corner in Greek as if defending the Alamo.

We stayed here 6 nights as the first stop of our honeymoon and couldn't have picked a better first stop. Great value for money, the views are spectacular, the pool great and the breakfast every day was outstanding. Vana was the perfect host very helpful with recommendations and organised our airport pick up. Was near a bus stop with easy access to Fira. Would definitely stay here again!

Honestly, I can’t say enough about this guesthouse! It was the best thing about our week in Santorini. Vana and her staff were so friendly and accommodating. She organised us dinner reservations for the first few nights and transport to the restaurants. She was very helpful when asking for recommendations, she always had a good place in mind. Which was especially helpful as I’m Vegetarian and so needed to know that the place we were going would have good options for me. The rooms are comfortable and clean and all have a private patio area and air conditioning! We stayed in one of the smaller rooms and really liked how it opened straight out onto the pool and how it caught the evening sun. But we were super lucky and Vana moved us to one of the larger rooms for a couple of nights and that was also lovely! The pool is beautiful, and reading my book on the sun lounger looking over the pool onto the tops of Olive and fig trees was something out of this world!! But the real showstopper was the breakfast! Prepared by Vana and her team in the morning and brought directly to the patio at a time that suits you. We asked for the vegetarian breakfast and it was so nice, and a very good way to start the day! We cannot say thank you enough to Vana and her team.

Great find. From start to finish the lady host could not do enough. We were in the smaller room so we had breaksfast served by the pool every morning. There was so much food that we also made a sandwich for lunch every day. Great location. Short walk into town. Guest house recommended two restaurants that came and picked us up and dropped us back. Both were amazing. The good heart is a must to watch the sunset. If you have a car we were recommended the Monestary, the highest point on the island to watch the sunrise which was as equally breath taking as the sunset. Although the place was full the pool while we were there was always quiet.
