  : We, a family of six, spent five nights at the villa in late August. Our experience was truly wonderful. The villa is fantastic, and we cherished every moment of our stay. It boasts a delightful pool, pristine cleanliness throughout the entire house, a well-equipped kitchen, and a charming host. Moreover, the location is superb, offering easy access to all the island's attractions within minutes (One piece of advice for future guests: Consider renting a car during your stay to fully explore the island's beauty and attractions at your convenience). I enthusiastically recommend this place, and should I ever return to Santorini, I would gladly choose this villa again.
  : The villa is situated near a bustling road, and on occasion, we could hear music emanating from passing cars or the noise generated by trucks and other substantial vehicles. However, when we closed the windows and doors of the house, this wasn't a problem, though it's worth noting. In terms of the Wi-Fi, it could be improved, especially given the property's size. There are areas where the signal is weaker, so keep that in mind if you require strong connectivity. Additionally, there was a discrepancy with the breakfast offer on the booking website. Contrary to what's stated, breakfast was not provided each morning. It would be advisable for the property owner to update their listing to avoid any potential misunderstandings in the future.

  : I had a wonderful stay at Samsara Villa. The villa itself is very comfortable and has everything you need, including a well stocked kitchen, comfy beds and lots of sitting/dining areas. The real highlight is the pool area out back, with a huge pool, fabulous view and large, comfortable lounges for relaxing. I'd definitely recommend dining at the winery across the road which has an absolutely spectacular view over the caldera. I had a couple of issues with internet, water etc, which were sorted out quickly by the hosts.
  : I would have spent much more time in the pool if it was heated. Even on hot days in May, it was just a bit too cold to stay in for long. The pool lounges could also do with some shade (there were umbrella stands, but I couldn't see an umbrella). Although the villa itself is very close to the village, I'd recommend renting a quad bike or scooter to get around. The road into town gets very busy and there's no safe shoulder/path to walk on.

  : It's a great place and really good value for money- clean, tidy, spacious, well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and a lovely little pool out the back with a view across the fields. Just across the road from a winery with amazing views over the bay. And Ariadne was extremely helpful with any requests when it came to booking great excursions, restaurants, a BBQ at the property, etc. A great find.
  : As others have noted it is close to a very busy road so there is a lot of road noise when you're outside, although not when you're inside- there is good sound insulation. And you do need to get a taxi to get anywhere if you haven't hired a car, as it's not in any town and the buses are hard to understand/infrequent- taxis in Santorini seem to have a minimum EUR 35 charge, regardless of how far you're travelling. The village of Megalochori is about a ten minute walk but along a very busy road with no pavements- I wouldn't want to walk that at night. The BBQ you can ask for at the property was convenient delicious but did seem a little over-priced for what you get.

  : Very beautiful house, extremely well decorated and nice design. The pool is wonderful as well. the house is close to main area of interests and to the port and airport. Owners are nice but as they dont speak english I had to communicate via whatsapp (with the son ?) and it was not always very smooth.
  : The main problem was the pool area that was not clean, I understand that there is dust and wind but clearly no cleaning was done in this area. I asked for it to be cleaned but it was refused and I had to do it myself. The house is on a road that is very busy and you could hear the traffic from the pool. We did not have water the first day and night (the auxiliary tanks were empty as well).

  : Friendly and reactive owners and management (replacement of wind damaged parasols, bringing over some fruit, re-cleaning of kitchen on our request), spacious exterior and pool, nicely decorated interior, well equipped kitchen, ideally located to go to each major city (we had our own rental car but there is a bus stop nearby). Bakery is just 5 mins on foot, supermarkets are a 5 min drive away.
  : Road sided bedroom is not entirely quiet due to main road close by and if you sleep with open window. Ideal for 6 people with 3 bedrooms.
