About this property

Villa DALI Danae with large jacuzzi and unique volcano and caldera view

Villa DALI Danae is situated in an exclusive and quiet neighborhood along the traditional caldera path between Fira (Thira) and Firostefani, overlooking the worldfamous Volcano and facing the spectacular Caldera view from the front patio, Fira sideways and the eastern part of Santorini and even the island of Anafi from the back patio. It is located in the most unspoiled part of the old town and perfect to enjoy and relax at the outdoor terrace and the front and back patio of the house.

Villa DALI (licensed by the Greek Organization of Tourism since April 2015) was renovated from an old Theran villa in 2015 and again in 2023. Villa DALI, once our family home, has been transformed into two exquisite villas: Villa DALI Leda on the first floor and Villa DALI Danae below. Each villa boasts a private entrance and can be rented individually. Yet, large families and groups of friends can rent both villas, providing a perfect setting to enjoy the beauty of Santorini together! To see Villa DALI Leda please search it by its name under the same host.

This spacious house provides the unique occasion to live in a private property that combines comfort and privacy. The 85 sq m high-ceiling house consists of three bedrooms (the first two with queen size bed and the third one with double bed), two bathrooms with shower made out of off-white polished cement, a living/dining-room, a fully equipped kitchen with modern facilities and a hall. Since June 2023 there is also a large heated jacuzzi (hot tub) at the back yard, suitable for 5-6 persons.

Some antique furniture of the older house decorate the villa offering a different and classy touch. Contemporary aquarelle and oil paintings decorate the walls of all rooms of the villa. All three bedrooms are equipped with ecological mattresses and are ventilated with Westinghouse 4-speed ceiling fans for ecological reasons. All three bedrooms are also equipped with Carrier Air Conditioner (cool / heat) system of latest technology. The inner temperature in all places of the property is comfortable. The comfortable living/dining room has one cozy sofa, which can easily be opened in a double bed accommodating two more persons. Thus, Villa DALI Danae is perfectly suitable for families or a group of friends up to six people plus two extra people, if needed.

There is free Fiberspeed 200Mbps Wi-Fi access to all areas of the villa. There is also a daily free housekeeping service. Linens and bath towels are included in the house and are changed every three days (their laundry and ironing is provided at no cost for you).
With more than 100 sq m. outdoor front yard and back yard the villa offers the opportunity of outdoor living and outdoor dining. The villa has an inside dining room, but it also offers the opportunity of outdoor dining for up to 8 persons. It has spacious outdoor areas and two big (2.5 meters each) parasols at the front and back patio. So, one can easily lie and enjoy outdoors the whole day long, since the property provides a variety of outdoor possibilities for every time of day and night.

It is crucial to point out that there is an easy entrance to the Villa (the car reaches 10-15 meters from its entrance) with no endless footpaths, uphill and hard to navigate stairs to reach your accommodation. There is a big free parking place 2 minutes walking distance from the house. The Villa is located very close to Nomikos Conference Center, St. John Catholic Cathedral, St. Stylianos Church and the Cable Car entrance, while it is at a walking distance (5 – 6 minutes) from the center of Fira (the capital of Santorini) and all the mini markets, cafes, restaurants, bars and night clubs. There is a convenient public transportation from the central square of Fira serving all places of the island.

The airport and the port are about 6-8 km away from the property (15-20 min by car/taxi). A special minivan transfer service from/to the airport/port could be arranged.

Early check-in and late check-out (upon availability).

Safety Checklist: Fire Extinguisher, Smoke Detector, Carbon Monoxide Detector, First Aid Kit, Safety Card.

We were amazed at the gorgeous views from the Villa DALI. It is in a central location, and close to everything you could need in Fira. Maria was a lovely host & helped us so much with organizing transportation, & offering recommendations.

The villa was perfect and the pictures do not do it justice. Every view is postcard-worthy! Location, amenities, service…literally everything was amazing. Maria was an outstanding host and made sure that every detail was covered and every need met. She (and Nikos!) made our trip to Santorini a memorable one. I cannot recommend this property enough! 10/10!

Fantastic Views and Accomadations

I normally do not leave reviews, but the place that Maria has in Santorini as well as the communication received before and during our stay was unbelievable. All of the reviews commending Maria and her staff are 100% accurate. Maria's team arranged travel and recommended great activities for our family during the stay. I have never had a better experience with a VRBO in my life!!

All the people associated with Villa Dali rock.. Convenient, close to food, Maria takes care of most everything.. And the views.... yes the views.. Didn't want to leave. Thanks so much

Great Home in Santorini

Thotoughly enjoyed this wonderful home on the walking path between Fira and Oia. The house worked well for our family of 7 and we enjoyed the front and back patios with beautiful sunrises and sunsets. The house is a quick 5 min walk down to the heart of Fira with lots of shopping, restaurants and amazing views, and a 5-10 min walk up to Firastefani and the Three Bells of Fira. The owners were extremely helpful setting up luxury transportation from the port and to the airport that dropped us off and picked us up a quick 2 min walk from the house, and arranged for a couple of rental cars that we picked up a short 3 min walk from the house which was quick and easy for our day trip to Oia and the black sand beach. They also helped arrange a fantastic catamaran cruise around the island with Santorini Yacht Club which included transportation that picked us up a quick 5 min walk from the house. The check-in and check-out with Nikos was easy and ensured a smooth process. The owners were helpful and responsive to all our needs, and even brought us beach towels to use on our outing to Kamari Beach. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it.

Lively Stay in Santorini

My family and recently I stayed at Villa Dali for 4 nights. The location of the Villa was perfect with stunning views of the volcano and sunsets from the front yard, and beautiful sunrises from the back. It is far enough from the crowds in Fira yet steps away from town, shops and restaurants, car rental and easy free parking. The Villa was spacious and very comfortable for our family of 5. Maria and Nikos are exceptional hosts making our stay the best it could be. Maria was so responsive answering my many questions from the moment we booked and throughout our stay. She helped with transfers, restaurant, car rental and cruise reservations. Each day she reminded us of what we had booked th following day. She made great suggestions giving us ideas of what to do and see in Santorini. Nikos, who met us on the ground for check in and check out was kind and helpful, quickly answering any questions or concerns we had during the stay. When our ferry was delayed and we arrived late at night both Maria and Nikos were so helpful tracking ferries, responding to an ongoing delay and insuring the driver will be at the port when we arrive as well as Nikos welcoming us at the Villa at 11:30 pm. This gave us so much peace of mind during a stressful day and we are very grateful to both of them. Our only regret is we did not have more time to enjoy the beautiful Villa and stunning Santorini.

We had an amazing stay at Villa Dali. It was the highlight of our trip. Everything was spot on, exactly as described and even exceeded expectations. The views are just spectacular, the villa is situated in a perfect spot with unobstructed views that people were stopping next to it often to enjoy the views and take photos. There are two spacious terraces, one in the front and a backyard as well as a cute rooftop. The only one downside is the lack of Air Conditioning. There are ceiling fans in each bedroom as well as three other standing fans which we brought into the bedrooms at night. so that did help but still an AC would've been nice! That's the only one negative point. Maria, was super organized to the last detail. She communicated with us ahead of time before our trip to get everything arranged and sorted out for our stay. She sent us ahead of time a pdf file containing all the useful information we would need in Santorini, including instructions for using the villa and suggestions of activities and places to visit. It even had English-Greek translations of handy phrases. She gave us the options of port pick-up and drop-off to and from the Villa, which we took and was very convenient and for a reasonable price. And car rental options, which we took for 1 day to drive around the island and explore. The options we chose were booked and arranged for us so everything was pre-planned and smooth. I would definitely recommend this Villa to anyone visiting Santorini.

Santorini family trip

This property was perfect for our family of 5. Exceptionally clean. The location was right on the beautiful path and only a few minutes from restaurants and shopping. The view of the water, volcano, sunsets and ships from the front steps was breathtaking. Maria and Niko were great, they were super helpful. They helped with everything from renting a car to arranging transportation to and from the airport, to providing suggestions for beaches and restaurants. We would definitely stay here again.

A Stunning Santorini Getaway!

We had the most incredible stay at this beautiful villa in Santorini! The location is perfect—just a short walk to amazing restaurants, markets, and plenty of shopping. The views from the villa are absolutely breathtaking; we could hardly pull ourselves away from the gorgeous sunsets each evening. The villa itself is spacious, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. Our host, Maria, was fantastic! She provided us with so much helpful information about the area and made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Just a heads-up, be prepared to climb uphill, but it’s totally worth it for the views and the wonderful experience. We can't wait to come back!

There were so many pros to staying at Villa Dali - the most important was how helpful and welcoming Maria and Nikis were to our group.
