Vora

Wow! Vora is an exceptionally private, extremely comfortable and a stunning set of 3 villas in Imerovigli. My husband and I stayed for 3 nights in the middle of August, and from the time we were greeted out of our transfer to the time we were returned to Kamari we were made to feel like we were the only people on the Island - it was heaven on earth. The views, the service and the Villa were amazing. We stayed in Omikron and it was amazing. Don’t hesitate to stay here, you need to experience Vora!

We have been to Santorini many, many times before and always enjoyed our stay in Bellonias Villas which is without any doubts the best place to stay in Kamari, … but Vora is really next level. Private Jacuzzi, outstanding architecture, private terraces not visible from the street or other apartments, innumerable beautiful details in the apartments, exceptional friendly, discreet staff, exquisite wine list, delicious dishes, … and the view! 1000 shades of blue, … originally I wanted to finish some paper stuff, but was to blown away to even open my laptop… and did not regret it.

If we could rate 10 stars we would! Nickolas and his staff were amazing with their attentiveness and hospitality. They made us feel welcome like we were family. They went above and beyond with everything they did. We never had to ask for a thing. The breakfasts were amazing! The villa was very charming, clean and had spectacular views. We really can't say enough good things about them. Highly recommend.

Fantastic property with amazing views. And very private. (Many Santorini properties are in full view of the general public, even though they boast private patios or pools. In contrast, Vora is mostly hidden from view as it is located away from the main trails.) It is very well maintained and feels new and very clean. We stayed at Alpha and Omikron. Alpha was more hidden (private), and has a lower balcony that is completely private. Some may find the duplex design a bit troublesome as you keep having to climb up and down. Omikron has a wider frontage and better view of Fira from its large balcony. But it feels more cramped inside compared to Alpha (but to be fair, it is still fairly large for two persons). Food was very good. Breakfast choice was wide and excellent. Dinner quality was good and comparable to a proper restaurant.

We had extremely high expectations of Vora after finding it on designhotels.com and seeing the incredible photos of the 3 villas, terraces, plunge pools and of course...that view. We were not disappointed. We got a very warm welcome from Nicolas when we arrived and after a brief check in process (accompanied by sparkling wine) we were taken to Villa Alpha. To say that we were blown away is an understatement. It is by far the most beautiful hotel we've ever stayed at with an unreal view. Our hosts, Sarah and Nicolas were so helpful, friendly and always going the extra mile to make sure that our stay was perfect. They certainly succeeded and they were such a big part of our Vora experience. We indulged in having dinner served on our terrace on our first night and what a great decision that was! The food is spectacular, wine list excellent and of course, 6-star service. And have I mentioned the view? I can't overstate how incredible the view is from Villa Alpha. It is THAT postcard shot of the caldera that most people have to capture from crowded lookout points. That was our view all day/night, but in peaceful privacy while eating a delicious breakfast or dinner, sipping a glass of wine and cooling off in our infinity edge pool. This is a next level experience. There are so many other unforgettable details I could share, but this review would be 10 pages long. The only problem with this place is you won't want to leave it, so for the most part, we didn't.
