It really is as good as everybody says. We had an incredible 7 day stay and the view from our balcony was amazing. Although we went out every morning after a substantial and delicious breakfast cooked by Zina we couldn't wait to get back in the afternoon to sit on our balcony until sunset every evening. We would highly recommend staying at this small friendly hotel.

What can I say that hasn’t been said? It is true the location is perfect, not too many steps but enough to still retain the caldera experience, fantastic service and wonderful accommodation with each room feeling unique, breakfast being a culinary delight of which I have never before encountered but all this has already been described much better than I could ever do.

What hasn’t been mentioned, at least not recently, is Villa Reno as a wedding destination. What was to be the beginning of a European holiday also became the setting for my daughter’s wedding. Although we had planned the ‘big wedding’ my daughter and her partner decided they would rather have a more relaxed personal ceremony and decided on Santorini so our holiday also became the setting for their wedding. Our original holiday booking for a group of 6 grew to 11 with 9 of us staying at Villa Reno. This initiated many questions through emails to Vassilis who managed everything beautifully. Nothing was too much trouble, he just kept saying ‘leave it to me I have done this many times’ and for a control freak like me that was very difficult to do as I had no idea what was happening.

Vassilis, Zina and Petros organised everything, the setting, the photographer, the Mayor for the service, bouquet and flowers, the cake and champagne and even arranged and booked the restaurant for dinner. The day was stunning and yes, Vassilis did know best.

The ceremony was everything my daughter and her partner wanted. It was a wonderful day with nothing to do but relax and enjoy the experience. The day unfolded as a fairytale should ending with the wedding ceremony at sunset.

No place is ever perfect, there is always something that could better meet each person’s personal preferences but this is as close as I have ever come. A big thank you to Vasilis, Zina, Petros and all the staff for making the wedding and our holiday so special.

Incredible location. Stunning views from our room. Amazing service with mouth-watering homemade breakfast. This family-owned hotel will leave you wanting for nothing. We would go back (and plan to) in a heartbeat.

The Villa Renos was a perfect choice. We loved it from the first minute! The room was spacious and from our own balcony we had this picture perfect view of the Caldera. There was no need to leave the hotel because of that view. We stayed 2 nights and were treated very very friendly from the family who runs the place. One special thing of the room: The lights of the room are really strong and you can actually see and find your things when it gets dark in contrast to many standard hotel rooms nowadays where there is no main light on the ceiling and the room is lit by some flimsy desk ligths etc. Not at the Villa Renos. The beds were soft and we slept very well. Right in front of the hotel is the excellent " Archipelagos Restaurant" where we ate twice. The breakfast of Vila Renos was also great. Overall a perfect place!
