Villas in South Aegean, Greece

The view is breathtaking, the room is clean and cozy, the host and staff are so friendly & helpful, and the breakfast is tasty. I had a fantastic stay!

Since it was before the main tourist season, there was only one other guest, and they treated us with incredible kindness. The hotel is located at the entrance to Oia, so it takes about a 5-minute walk to reach the main area with the white houses. However, this actually added to the charming, rustic atmosphere, which I really enjoyed.

White Pearl Villas was wonderful! As we arrived, we were proactively greeted by a member of the staff. He attended to our baggage and walked us down to the Aqua Villa Dream room. The room wasn’t on the highest part of Oia, but it was near a great terrace which had lawn chairs and which we used for photos. Our room has a personal terrace as well with a comfortable chair, but the view from there wasn’t the best. As we entered the room, we saw that we’d been given a complimentary bottle of wine as well as a bottle of water. The staff member gave us a quick tour of the room, which was interestingly shaped and carved into the cliff. It felt very unique and cozy. We had a smart television that we used for Netflix, as well as a refrigerator. The room also had a jacuzzi, though we didn’t use it as we were visiting in August and it was already quite warm outside. The plunge pool had a cool window that opened to the ocean, though. The bathroom was a bit small, but the shower was good quality with strong water pressure and consistent temperature. The staff added me on WhatsApp for easy communication which was GREAT. The bed was very comfortable with nice sheets as well as a hollow headboard which was good for putting our phones and other things over night. Everything in the room was cleaned when we arrived. There was also a cleaning service when we were away during the day. The air conditioner was strong and there was a dehumidifier as well. There were plenty of towels and outlets, though we of course needed a converter for our American electronic devices. There was a coffee maker with easy to use pods, as well as 2 pairs of soft white slippers. We did not try the breakfast or the massage service. Overall, we had a wonderful stay. My only wish is that the view directly from our room was a bit better, as the room is tucked into the mountainside. However, there were nice photo spots all around us, so we only had to take 20 steps to get a nice view of the sunrise or sunset in comfy chairs. If I return to Santorini, I will absolutely stay here again!

A truly special stay — raw, beautiful, and full of character From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was exceptional. Vincent, the manager, had arranged for a staff member to meet us at the Post Office. From there, we walked the famous donkey path down to the hotel — and honestly, it was one of the most memorable parts of the trip. Stunning views, donkeys along the way — it’s Santorini. If you expect a completely flat walk, you’re in the wrong place. And that’s not the hotel’s problem. I’ve seen reviews complaining about the stairs, calling it dirty or difficult. Having experienced it myself, I can tell you: it’s nothing. A little walk, a little effort — perfectly fine. If someone can’t manage that, they probably shouldn’t be visiting Santorini in the first place. And the hotel already arranged for staff to carry our luggage both ways — so the hard part was handled. The hotel isn’t trying to be some fake luxury resort. It’s authentic, raw, and full of soul. The location is simply the MOST stunning spot in the area — unbeatable for photos and views. We were incredibly fortunate to be given a room with an indoor hot tub. If you’re visiting Santorini in the winter or early spring, this is incredibly important — it’s cold and windy outside to stay long. I searched for a long time and realized there aren’t many places here with an indoor hot tub. The water was exceptionally clean which made all the difference. Deep, warm, and absolutely relaxing on those cooler March days. The room was also well-equipped with everything we needed — toiletries, coffee machine, water, all provided. Visiting Greece this time of year is actually fantastic. Streets are quiet, no crowds. The views are just as stunning, and you don’t have to deal with extreme heat. Of course, the weather is a bit of a gamble — sometimes it rains — but there are always moments of sunshine. And the best part? It’s not as expensive as in the summer. A place like this is an absolute steal. Breakfast was generous, fresh, and thoughtfully prepared with Greet and American to choose from — a great start to each day. If you’re looking for a place with real character, soul, and the most beautiful setting in Oia — this is it. The team was warm and attentive. Genuinely grateful for our stay. Thanks Old Castle Oia!

This is a very friendly staff. It is a bit opposite to the cliff village of Imale, but you can enjoy the atmosphere of a quieter and secluded village. There are many delicious restaurants nearby, the hostel is also very clean and beautiful, especially in the pool, you can take a lot of nice photos.

Just as the photos shows it! Dimitris was super friendly, helpful and responsive! The accommodation was clean and has a home vibe with stunning sunset views. There is no other better place that I could ask for. I would definitely recommend it to any of my friends who are going to visit Oia.

Came to Oia with friends. Four girls chose a hotel for a long time and finally decided on this one. First of all, the location is very convenient. It is very close to the center of Oia. You can enjoy the scenery along the way. It is very convenient to go to the viewing platform to watch the sunset after eating. It will be here in a while. The environment of the hotel is very good, clean, the service is very good, and very welcoming. When I went from Oia to Athens, I left the necklace in the hotel and didn't take it away. I called the boss, and the boss hurried to find it for me. Then he said to express it for me. The freight cost was more than ten Euros. The boss didn't charge me. I keep replying to me by email, and I am concerned about the necklace. Really very good service! If there is a chance, I will still go to live here!
