The owner was wonderful (easy to communicate with for my arrival). The room was small but functional and had a beautiful balcony. The center of Fira was a 2 minute walk away which allowed me to walk everywhere! The bus station was about a 7 minute walk as well, allowing easy access by public transport anywhere I wanted. Lovely experience!

Friendly and special experience
It is nice to stay at Villa Toula, that people are friendly and can experience living in a Greece-style room in a house using a very reasonable price. The location is also great for transit. It is better to arrange the shuttle pick-up if you are from the ferry port through the hotel. We missed their email offer before the arrival that the price is very reasonable.

Best avoided
Stayed here just for one night thankfully, The hotel is clean and centrally located but that’s where it ends! Small pokey room, tiny bed and the most uncomfortable place I’ve ever slept in, noise from other guests, noisy area, although cheap, I would avoid like the plague!

Vills Toula is a great position and close to all main attractions, in the middle between Oia and the beautiful beaches in the South. Stelios, the manager, is a very friendly and nice person, who helped us renting a quad and organising our days in Santorini. His work is extremely reliable and in line with the new anti-virus measures. The room was clean and tidy, with a nice balcony and a/c. We will definitely come back to Villa to enjoy Santorini. Thank you very much Stelio!

Great location, service and time!
The location was prime, the service was awesome and they even provided service transport for us from and to the airport to make traveling easy! The room itself was clean and comfortable. And the patio was a great place to just hang out and relax between all the other fun stuff to do on the island! Can't beat it for the price.

Great service!
The location is perfect. 3 min walking distance from lots of restaurants and the bus that takes you around the island without the business of being on the square. The service was excellent. Vasilis the manager went above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay. The bathroom was a bit small without hot water, but okay for a day or two stay. The courtyard was cosy and a small breakfast was served in the morning with excellent coffee.

Vassilis greeted us with a huge smile every day, creating a very welcoming place. He was helpful in suggesting things to do and where to eat helped with transportation arrangements when needed. The property was basic, but very clean. The location was great - close to the action, but tucked away so it felt restful I would not hesitate to recommend Villa Toula.

A nice hotel, run by extremely helpful and friendly owner, close to the city center. No pool and no sea view, but 5 minute walk to Fira central bus station and 5 minute walk to the cable car. Good fast WiFi. If you come to Santorini to walk around, this is the place I'd consider.

Great stay overall
Pros: The hotel is well located, close to Fira's center without being noisy. The room was clean. They offer tea, coffee, juice and cake every morning. The man at the reception is very helpful. He gave us a map of the island when we arrived and gave us a lot of recommandations on what to do during our stay. Cons: We had arrange a pick-up on our arrival from the port to the hotel, but nobody came so we had to take the bus to get to the hotel.

Satisfied with our 2-night stay
This is a smaller family run style hotel. Vassilis, the owner (sorry, if misspelled) is a very congenial guy.who tries to help with every little thing.The room is small, so is the bathroom and bed - but it serves its purpose and the price is right. Thira is an extremely busy little town with crowds of tourists and Villa Toula is still in the centre, but little bit tucked away on a side street, so it's quiet. You get free orange juice, tea/coffee and pastry between 8-12 in the morning, so it's a nice start to the day. We spent 2 nights - did local bus trip (E1.80/person one way, Sept 2017) to Oia for sightseeing and swimming off Ammoudi Bay. Clean room, fast wifi. We had a great stay! Thank you, Villa Toula.

Perfect choice for the budget traveler!
We booked this hotel with location and price as our top priorities so if you have the right expectations, you will have a great stay. The owner graciously helped us arrange transport to and from the airport for our 1am and 10pm flights to and from Athens for 15 euros each way which made the transportation portion of our trip worry-free. A liter of bottled water and strong wifi were also great pluses. In the morning, he greeted us and took the time to show us the lay of the land. Location couldn't be better. Everything is within a 2-5 minute walk from the hotel: cable car to the Old Port, train station to the Athinios Port (if you'd like to ferry over to visit the other islands), hike from Fira to Oia (amazing!) and the Fira town center. Now, I do want to caution you that if you're looking more for accommodations for a honeymoon stay or something that would be at the same level as a 3+ star U.S. hotel, this would not be the right fit. Toilet and shower are literally inches away from each other and the bed on average is much smaller (full size I think) with a thinner mattress. If these things don't bother you though, then you will enjoy your time!

Dear Catherine, Thanks for taking the time to write down your comments. I am afraid you are mistaken with another property you might have stayed. First of all you haven't met the owner. You have met me Vassiilis who manage the pension and I am not the owner. Regarding breakfast. We do not provide such a service apart from coffee tea juice and cake which are served in our patio as an extra service to our guests. I was never busy with 32 people busload because Villa Toula up to its full capacity can only accommodate up tp 15people!! Maybe you should check again where you stayed before or after you stayed in Villa Toula Remaining at your service Kind regards VASSILIS KOUTSOS

Nice Hotel, Perfect Location
Villa Toula had the most friendly and knowledgeable staff at any of our 5 hotels on our 3 week trip to Greece. They always greeted you with a smile and gave great suggestions about where to eat, go, and see. Each morning we were provided with a breakfast in the courtyard to start our day. The location was PERFECT!!!! About 3 blocks away from the downtown caldera area. It meant that we had everything at our finger tips, without any of the noise or crowds. We plan on using Villa Toula for all of our visits to Santorini in the future. Thank you for such a great stay!

Helpful staff
I had only one day to spend in Santorini. When I arrived late (plane got delayed so I got at the airport at midnight), the owner was waiting for me. In the morning for breakfast, she came and gave me a schedule and things to do in one day for the duration of the stay. Thanks to that itinerary, I was able to visit and see everything on the island.

We really liked this accommodation!! Host was super nice and kind!! I've been to many countries so used a lot of accommodations but He's the best host ever :D He explained some places to travel using a map and some information about Santorini. Even he prepared for an emergency cell phone for guests who don't have data for just in case! And we could use some towels for beach. And free breakfast♡ He treats guests very well so we were touched! A room is cozy and clean even though it's not big. Everything including Hot water, air conditioner was perfect!! I strongly recommend this accommodation!! Thank you so much♡
