Pleiades Eco Houses

Hidden Gem What an amazing time, such a hidden gem and made our holiday all the more special. Martine was a wonderful host and her breakfasts were fabulous. I would recommend this accommodation to anyone who is looking for a real treat.

Absolute bliss! We have just returned from an exquisite 10 night family break at the Eco Houses and cannot recommend them enough. The accommodation is spacious and luxurious and the setting is an oasis of calm - a welcome contrast to the bustle of the main towns of the island. Stamatina and her team are lovely - we started each day with a plentiful and varied breakfast selection delivered to our villa, and they were always on hand for queries throughout the day. Stamatina suggested several local excursions which we enjoyed. Our girls were smitten by the lovely swimming pool! We all look forward to returning at some point! Thank you!

We coukd not have asked for a better place to stay in Santorini. Yes, it was a distance from the Fira or Oia views, but for many reasons, it was much better! First and foremost, Stamatina was a treasure and helped us with all our requirements:transport from airport and to the port on our last day, coordinated a reasonable car rental for us at the hotel, and even drove us to the grocery store and bus stop to get to Fira. At the end of very long and excruciatingly hot days, it was perfect to enjoy the clean, refleshing pool without any noise (or chaos) that comes with Fira and Oia. Breakfast each morning was fresh, delicious and plentiful. What a great way to start the day! We loved it here and highly recommend!!

The Location: This villa is located in Vothonas, about 5 minutes away from the airport by car. So even after a long day of travelling, it won't take much longer to put your bags down and chill. Proximity to the airport aside, Vothonas is right in the middle of the island, making it no more than 30 minutes from any attraction in any direction. My wife and I rented a quad and circled the entire island fairly easily. We visited Oia, Pyrgos, Fira, Theros...etc., due to staying in this ideal location. The Grounds: Pleiades is simply gorgeous. It's safe to say that the reality of the property matches its pictures. The place is clean, well kept and naturally beautiful. I took pictures of it just so that I can always mentally come back to it, while busy in my everyday life. I miss it already. The Food: Breakfast was prepared every day. And I looked forward to it just as much as seeing the most sought-after sights around the island. Waking up and watching the Sun begin to beam, while taking my sweet time eating freshly made breakfast is a sublime experience. I did this every single day, as the wife slept. This is how we should all start the day. The Hostess: Stamatina is just excellent. My wife and I arrived very late, around 11 pm local time due to flight delays. She was still up and welcomed us to our villa. Stamatina prepared everything and even gave us a full itinerary to explore. That initial impression played itself out throughout our time, as she was always available but never bothersome. And when it came to booking extras such as rentals, cruises...etc, she was most helpful. As an example, my wife and I had to catch a 7:30 am flight out of Santorini. Stamatina knew this, and woke up early to make us sandwiches so that we could still eat breakfast one last time. Btw, her daughter Eva is just as involved as Stamatina and just as lovely. She was a pleasure to interact with herself, and also goes the extra mile. I recall trying to get to Santo Winery, and she offered to get in her car and give me a tow. It's gestures like that can compell someone to go and write lengthy recommendations. The Conclusion: I honestly didn't want to leave. And if I'm going back to Santorini, I would come right back here. It's 5 stars for me.

Very clean and comfortable villa with clean pool right outside your door. Homemade breakfast was excellent and changed daily and brought to your villa! Linens and beds were extremely comfortable. Sunrise was stunning. Stamatina’s restaurant recommendations were excellent as to quality of food and variety of settings ( on beach or outdoor on rooftop with excellent island views). Grounds as beautiful as see in pixx. Short drive from everywhere but do rent car.
