Villa Deus is a beautiful tradditional Greek cave property that is exqusitely furnished with some exceptional artwork and generaously proportioned accomodation. The living areas and five bedrooms are tastefully furnished and the outdoor space is exceptional with several terraces and a larger than average pool with plenty of seating.
Our family of five, including three teenagers, stayed four days. We were sad to leave this beautiful property. Argy and George were very helpful with all our needs. George kindly arranged rides for us around the island as needed and Argy was always ready with a great recommendation or solution for us. We just spent a week and a half in Greece with four nights at Villa Deus. This was our favorite stay of the trip and we would love to stay here again if we are ever fortunate to return.
There were 7 adults and a 2 year old. There was enough room for everyone to be comfortable. Beds were nice. Outdoor space has a few sitting areas to get out of the sun. The pool was large and clean. The cleaner came everyday. Communication with the Villa Deus team was easy and they were always responsive.
Naya and Argy gave us exceptional help with our preplanning and over-and-above assistance during our stay with airport transportation and Argy even grocery shopped for us before our arrival.They helped with a delicious catered dinner to celebrate our 50th Anniversary complete with decorations and cake.And sent us off with a thoughtful goodbye gift! This was true Santorini hospitality at it finest.
Hosts are very communicative and extremely helpful! Very grateful for picking us up from the ferry! Place was clean and accommodating. Close to Kamari Beach! Nice restaurant conveniently across the street!
Thank you for hosting us!
Absolutely brilliant! Gorgeous, well appointed property with the utmost detail to all things.
Would highly recommend and hope to return again soon! Thank you to Naya and Argy for a memory making holiday! Efharisto ❤️
Argy and the Villa Deus team were absolutely amazing. Our flight was delayed so that we didn't land in Santorini until after midnight, but they had a private transfer waiting for us at the airport and Argy met us at the Villa Deus property. The property itself is so charming and the pool is very refreshing. Argy drove us to the grocery store the next morning, and organized a car rental for us so that we could tour the island. We had a birthday in our group, and the Villa Deux team went above and beyond in ordering and delivering a birthday cake for us. They also arranged our transfer to the ferry at the end of our stay. I can't say enough good things about Argy and the Villa Deus team. There is a very good restaurant within walking distance of the property, but otherwise a vehicle (or taxi service) is needed for enjoying Santorini to its fullest.
My family and I were very satisfied with the location and service at this beautiful villa! We were picked up and dropped off at the port by private transportation, and the host even assisted us in obtaining our car rentals. The host was very responsive to our requests and the cleaning service was a nice touch. Thank you again for your generous hospitality! Highly recommended villa!
We came to Santorini for our daughters wedding. Villa Deus is breathtaking 😍
Argy the property manager is exceptional our holiday has been so relaxed thanks to all his amazing help and support. Also a shout out to Naya at Stayz who made the booking procedure seamless
Check-in process was great! The place was very clean. Great restaurant right across the street.
I think having housekeeping come at 10:00 am was a bit early. We were all getting ready as they were cleaning up. Maybe waiting until noon when the guests are out exploring would be a better time.
A group of 5 couples had a wonderful stay in this property. The villa was clean, spacious and well maintained. The host, Argy, went out of his way to make our stay wonderful, including arranging transport whenever any of us needed it. Everything was well organised and nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommended.
Great property that came with great personal service!
This house was perfect for our 2 families traveling together. The house was really nice, the pool area was fabulous and the place was as described on VRBO. The manager, Ari, was amazing. He was always available and helped us with reservations for different restaurants and with any questions we had. We went to one of our best meals just walking distance from the house. Having a cleaning service everyday was icing on the cake. We would definitely stay here again.
Villa Deus was incredible! Beautiful property, excellent views of the ocean, and all of the appliances needed for our stay. The Host and staff were top-notch! Our reservation included a private shuttle to and from the airport. The staff also coordinated a private tour of Santorini and wine tour. I cannot say enough positive things about the host/staff. Daily check-ins added to our overall amazing experience! I would absolutely stay at this property again.
Property provided transportation to and from airport/villa. Property manager was in constant communication and helped with restaurant reservations. Villa was cleaned daily. The space was perfect for our adult family. We hired a private chef (Two Spoons) one evening and had a fabulous meal on the outdoor patio. We enjoyed the pool every single day. Fabulous location and manager was extremely hospitable.
This home was amazing ! Perfect space and exceeded our expectations Argy was amazing and went above and beyond to help us, we are so grateful ! Thank you Naya for always responding so quickly ! I must mention our George who was available to cart us around at when we requested him and showed us the amazing sites in santorini we will never forget this amazing visit !
Accommodations were great - as good as it appears in the pictures, if not better.
It’s a 15 minute ride to Fira and a bit longer to Oia, but there are a few restaurants within close walking distance including one right outside the front gate of the property.
However, far and away the best part about this was the service provided by the hosts. They graciously offered airport pickup and drop offs for our entire group (despite arriving and departing at different times) and they were very responsive to anything we else we needed, from ordering in breakfast to arranging additional transportation.
I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone who doesn’t mind being a bit away from the cities.
Nestled on the side of a mountain between the eastern coast and the beautiful village of Pyrgos, this cave home is perfect for two families traveling together or one larger family. It’s incredibly comfortable and equally picturesque. Argy and George were incredibly accommodating in helping us meet our needs during our four night stay.
If you’re planning a trip to Santorini, consider renting a car for part of your stay as the better grocery store close to the airport is 4 miles away and not walking distance and tve next closest market is in Pyrgos which is only a mile away but at the top of the ‘mountain’ (which is really use a very tall hill.) There are two excellent restaurants that are less than a 10 minute walk so that’s plus. Coordinating transportation to Fira or Oia is not difficult but rather pricey.
Negative: Can't flush toilet paper. Need to discard in small bathroom container. AC doesn't work well in main house. Ants issue. No pool toys. Older furnishings. Need a car. Remote.
Positive: great restaurant across the street. Very private. Large pool. Good communication with management. Airport transportation is complimentary.
An amazing place to celebrate my 60th with friends and family
An absolutely gorgeous place to celebrate friendships and family. With a full kitchen, two living rooms, a veranda, 5 rooms, an outdoor pool and separate bbq patio with hammock there were many places to gather or getaway if you wanted a little alone time. Incredible views from pool where i often woke early to experience dawn. The villa was extremely clean and well appointed. After exploring Santorini in much heat and humidity it was always delightful to return to our beautiful home away from home to relax, unwind and cool off.
As lovely as this villa was the best part was our amazingly attentive, communicative and thoughtful resident manager Argys. He arranged arrival and departures for entire group which was essentially 5 separate arrivals and 2 departures for many of us were continuing to Paros. He responded to every request for information or transport assistance and he stocked the villa with water, wine and juice. He arranged and delivered a special catered meal one night which was extraordinary. We felt very well appreciated and taken care of.
If you want a truly special getaway where you can feel pampered and away from it all i highly recommend the Villa Deus villa.
Our son had a destination wedding so two sisters, two parents and grandmother came from Montana to Santorini for a week. We had extra room so another couple stayed with us. Words and pictures do not do justice. This place is unreal. It’s perfect and then some. We had ample room for the 7 people who were there. The three rooms off the main house roomed the girls and our friends so there was ample privacy. The views of the sea and Kamari Beach were outstanding and we had nightly moonrises. Super close to the airport and about 10 minute drive to the the main town of Fira. It had a pool which we used daily and two covered porches and lounges for sunning. Naya and Kelly had excellent communications with me prior to arrival. Then Argy was our personal host who met us on arrival and got us everything from ATV’s, to rides anywhere and great advice on what to do. There was also daily cleaning and pool service. Santorini really is more than what you see in travel brochures. Fira and Oia are the splashy towns but we found Kamari and Perissa to be precious little beach towns more to our liking. Anyway, this is a review of the property not the island. I’d give it 6 stars but was limited to 5
Overall we had a very relaxing time at Villa Deus. The team were great communicators at all times, arranging our airport transfers and Argy was always on hand for any questions we had and for sorting out any problems. The daily housekeeping service was very thorough in keeping everything straight and clean. After a busy week in Athens, my kids appreciated the quietness of the pool and stunning views. I will say you really need a car to get around the island if you want to do. more than sit by the pool. The house is set right atop a hill, so gorgeous views, but a hard trek up and down to the grocery store.
There is a great restaurant opposite the house specialising in small plates and Metaxi Mas a short stroll away, which were both lovely and we also used the coal barbeque in the garden to mix it up. Although we visited Oia, a 25 min drive, we were glad to escape the circus of this pretty but over visited town. My teen enjoyed visiting Santorini Donkey Brewery at the bottom of the hill to purchase a couple of each of their beers and host an at home tasting. My one small complaint is that the kitchen is quite old and the cupboards sticky with years of use. It was the one thing that could use some love and attention but overall we really enjoyed our stay here
The Villa was lovely with great accommodation for our group of 8. Its a little away from the real tourist parts which was perfect. Short walk up to the beautiful village of Prygos with stunning views and lots of restaurants. Metaxi Mas restaurant, a five minute walk and Anemoloos at the top of the steps to the Villa both did really good food. You do need a car to see the whole island but our longest drive was 25 minutes to Oia.
