Caldera views - beautiful and convenient location
Our stay at the Morfes House was absolutely everything we desired for an active, and romantic, stay. Conveniently located, comfortably spacious, and breathtaking views made this property perfect for our three-night stay in the heart of Santorini. Check-in was well-timed and easy. Our first night there was a community black-out but we easily found flashlights and candles for the darkness, and it was fun to watch the island light up again from the bedroom balcony. The next morning we hiked the trail from Fira to Oia which was fulfilling and took the better part of a day. The trail is close to the house, yet the noise from people walking by is not intrusive. The views are SPECTACULAR! Some of the most jaw-dropping moments of our 3-week Greek vacation were experienced from this property. Watching the ships and boats come and go any time of day was only surpassed by the breathtaking sunrises and sunsets. We enjoyed walking to the Museum of Prehistoric Thera after driving to Akritori ruins on the opposite side of the island. One evening we walked to a very special restaurant with a six-course tasting menu and enjoyed the caldera view which was equal to ours from the Morfes House. This property is well-managed, well-maintained and highly recommended to a couple or family desiring fun and relaxation while visiting Santorini.

Absolutely perfect in every way
We loved the location. Firostefani is out of the busy Fira area and yet close enough to the bus station for using public transportation to see other parts of the island. The views are stunning especially on the side balcony. The house is very roomy, gorgeous decor and it really was perfect for us. It is close to the top of the rim so no climb down and up to get to the villa. It will go down as one of our favorites!! We almost stayed in Oia. One crowded afternoon up there made us very grateful we chose Firostefani. Staff here was amazing. Peter was easily available to help with transportation, arranging excursions or anything else.

Perfectly situated, incredible view, ideal space
This was the perfect location for us. We were within walking distance of Fira, restaurants, Imergliovigli and markets but also far enough away that we did not get noise from tourists and venues. The house was immaculate, comfortable and beautiful. The beds were wonderful. And the views from two decks--stunning. The only difficulty we had was the sewage odor from the bathroom--apparently an island waste problem. But we resolved this by keeping the window open while we were in the house. The host, Ion, was kind, accommodating and responsive to any request we had. I recommend this space highly.

Breath taking views
Beautiful villa with breathtaking views as pictured with vibrant colors. Peter was a Helpful polite host who met us on time at rental even though our flight was late. He booked our taxi to and from the airport and booked our ATV and car ahead of time. Peter was easy to work with and responded to all questions when contacted. The Villa was beatifically decorated with 2 stunning views from each outdoor patio. The Villa was on the caldera walking path with easy access to eateries within walking distance.

Spacious luxury with two caldera balconies
The Morfes property delivers on multiple levels. In the heart of Firostefani, it's walkable to both Fira and Imerovigli. The accommodation is spacious, modern and clean, with all the amenities needed for a great holiday. There are two separate balconies, leading from the master and living room respectively, each with glorious views of the caldera. Highly recommended!

Morfes House
Property offered more space than most other accommodations in Santorini. Service by Peter was great. Had an issue with a neighboring car alarm one evening and What’s app’d Peter and he called neighboring hotel and it was resolved. The patio has a great view but it is partially blocked by building in front. Still saw the beautiful sunsets and loved the evenings sitting out having a nice cigar. Air conditioning was wonderful after days out sight seeing. Super clean and great amenities. We were there with two teenagers and the extra space was wonderful. Peter arranged pick-up and drop off to airport. We rented a buggy and we’re able to park right in front of VRBO. 6-21-2023

Lovely Stay at Cavo Milos!
We stayed at the Morfes House as a family of four adults in June, 2023. We chose this particular property due to the reviews, the pictures and it’s location. It’s really hard to describe just how pleased we were with our stay here. The house itself is very nice and comfortable. There are two spacious terraces that offer truly stunning views. Once you step outside to take in the views of the caldera, you will not want to leave! Everything you could possibly need is located within a very short walking distance. Our host, Peter, was very gracious, kind and accommodating during our entire stay. I absolutely recommend this property.

Happy 50th Birthday
What an amazing trip. We would highly recommend staying in this home. Such an incredible location with breathtaking views all around. Our host Peter is such a kind person who goes over and above to help you get the experience you want out of your trip. From booking the airport transportation, to having an ATV delivered to the house, booking a boat cruise and just being available to answer all of our questions. His home was very cozy and comfortable. The space is perfect and the decor is beautiful and welcoming. We already miss waking up in the morning to that spectacular view. There are no words to describe the beauty. We took our time to see as much of the island as we could. It was perfect to just sit and enjoy a cocktail cliff side and take in that view. There is so much to see. Don’t rush it. Enjoy where you are. Santorini will always be in our hearts as a beautiful memory. From the fantastic sites, the history, the culture, to the kind and friendly people and who can forget the amazing food. This trip was a 50th birthday present for my husband to which he said to me on the way home this was everything and more❣️

Santorini with a view
The photos of this spacious condo only give a hint of how beautiful the views are from the large balcony off of the living room, and the smaller balcony off of the master bedroom. Since Santorini is known for its views, this made us very happy with our stay. We didn't need to be anywhere else than home at sunset time to view the caldera. Even the view from the open kitchen window is gorgeous. The decor is pleasing and comfortable--our teens were totally ok with hanging out there and it was actually hard to drag them out to sightsee! Check in was very easy. We were duly informed about not tossing any paper into the toilet due to plumbing reasons, which was a minor inconvenience. The beds were very comfortable. If our stay could have been improved it would be to have a dishwasher and washer/dryer, which we have come to expect from most VRBOs. The owners live on the property and were friendly and helpful. Thank you for the amazing views and hospitality!

Great Santorini view, spacious place!
We really enjoyed the property with our family. The space was very accommodating and we had a well stocked kitchen to cook our breakfast every morning. The host was very friendly and willing to help when we needed him. We enjoyed the views from the main balcony as well as the gorgeous views from the master bedroom balcony. The place was well stocked and well cared for with beautiful furnishings. We had nice cold waters in the fridge waiting for us from our day trips to the nearby cities. Its in a great location outside the main touristy areas affording a great view and a short walk from the bus station where you can catch the bus to visit iconic Oia. Thank you so much for letting us stay at this gorgeous place. The only thing I can comment as a mild negative was a sewer smell in the area every once in a while, but we weren't sure exactly where it was coming from.

Perfect accommodations to experience Santorini!
This was the perfect home for my two friends and I to experience a comfortable and convenient vacation in Santorini. The home is in a fantastic location, allowing for an easy walk through Thira, yet also allowing us to experience quiet mornings and evenings on the patio, taking in the beautiful views. We were also able to get transportation right outside our doorstep to other locations.

Prefect House in a Perfect Location
Morfes House Firostefani is the perfect house in the perfect setting. The views are even more stunning in person than they are in the listing. The house is very well appointed, and Ioanna was quick to respond to any questions that we had. We were a bit confused by the heating, but turns out each room had its own wall mounted unit that did a great job. Showers were warm, as long as you don’t mind showering in the afternoon! We also took some recommendations from Ioanna on local shops and rentals which were very helpful. We used the kitchen a bit, which was well appointed with a full-size refrigerator, sink, coffee maker, dishes, etc. so one could easily stay for an extended time without feeling like anything is missing. Having the Fira to Oia walk pass right out front was very cool. We walked into Fira in 10 minutes easily but could take an hour doing it because the views were different and incredible on every turn!

Don’t pass this up!
We stayed 3 nights at this beautiful property in Firostefani, just about a 10 minute walk north of Fira and right on the cliff walk. Peter met us on arrival at 9 pm and on departure at 430 am. He even arranged airport transfers for us. The cars can park a very short distance from the apartment so lugging your bags is not an issue. The apartment was spotless and beautifully decorated. There are two balconies, the one off the master bedroom overlooks Fira and you can see the cruise ships in the caldera. The second balcony off the living room has a full dining table and a view of the sunset which is where we watched the sun set in the comfort of our own apartment. There are many excellent restaurants within a few minutes from the apartment. . One of our favorites was casa di te. They left lots of water for us (it is recommended to drink tap water) and a welcoming bottle of santorini beer. Don’t hesitate to book this lovely apartment with its gorgeous views, central location and quiet. Close enough to see Fira and we did the 3 hr hike to Oia, but so much better than staying in the midst of crowds. We give this apartment and Peter and Ionna the highest recommendations!

Great Stay, Almost Perfect
We had an amazing week thanks to Peter. So much is ideal about this place: Perfect location in Firostefani, definitely the town to stay--lots of amazing restaurants but much quieter than Oia or Fira. (Absolutely try Kokkalo--a tiny walk and not caldera views but amazing food and sweet people; and Galini Café for breakfast if you can get in.) Very quiet at night, no clubs nearby. More central than Oia, easy to get around the island from here. (Example: Ten-minute drive/cab ride to Exo Gialos beach and Yalos restaurant--not cheap to rent lounges but well worth it, really nice food.) The host Peter was very nice and helpful. The place is big--bigger than the pictures suggest--with plenty of space for a family to spread out. 80% of the views off the balconies are amazing. Great to have a kitchen to use. Cute little pastry place nearby that knows the house well and delivers breakfast. Right on the main Fira-Oia pathway; you can walk out the front door, turn left, and begin the world-class hike up the caldera toward Oia. There are a couple of minor things the pictures don't make clear that you should be prepared for. Off the main balcony you look into the back of another house with satellite dishes and wires; the pictures imply more of an unobstructed view. And the place in general could use a bit of a facelift--there are some places where it's chipped and scuffed and the fixtures, appliances and furniture are a little dated. That surprised us at first, but after a week we had come to love the Morfes House, even with its imperfections. Ideal location on the island, great space to relax, still mostly beautiful views. A warm and kind host; Peter was completely responsive and helpful. By the last few days we were always delighted to return to the house--in fact we spent the better part of a day chilling there, with the patio doors open and the breezes flowing through. A nearly perfect place to stay that is a great base for exploring Santorini.

Morfes House
This property is beautiful and spacious with a bright modern feel. Perfectly located away from the crowds and noise, but within walking distance of restaurants, shopping, groceries, and activities desired. Access with limited stairs to climb is a plus, while still providing stunning caldera views. (Note: while views from the master bedroom balcony towards Fira are unobstructed, the view from the front balcony towards the volcano is partially blocked by the building in front. This does not negate the beauty of the view, but should be mentioned) Peter is an awesome host, attending to every need including arranging airport transfers, daily house cleaning services, car rental, and providing a cell phone for local numbers and programmed with his number for easy access if needed. He was very gracious in providing arrangements for an additional guest who was added following the initial booking. Peter also thoughtfully provided chilled drinking water that was greatly appreciated following a long journey.

This place was Amazeballs! As soon as you walk in it looks just like the photos and the balconies make you feel like you are on a movie set at times. Very clean, nice slippers, fresh decor, and a great in-between to walk to the bustling city to the South where there is plenty of shopping and evening fun and a steep short walk to the north where there is a more chill restaurant vibe with more great views. This place is with the penny spent.

Very accommodating, clean, central loacation, and beautiful views.
During our time on Santorini we stayed at three other places to accommodate our trip schedule and this was definitely our favorite. This property looked perfect online and even better in person. The location is within easy walking distance to many activities on the island with beautiful and slightly different views from both balconies. It was easy to get to by taxi or bus which made a big difference when we arrived with all of our luggage. It also had much more space than we were anticipating. Ion went above and beyond to make us feel at home during our stay here from providing simple necessities and recommendations to providing us with a local phone to use during our time there. We would definitely recommend a stay at Morfes house! Thanks again!
