A lovely resort. Very helpful staff. Ansu welcomed us and immediately we felt as it was a home away from home. Great breakfasts - special thanks to Sandesh, Sandip and Pemba for their hospitality. Wonderful communal pool and individual pool at the Villa Santorini. Resort is away from the crowds of Fira and Oia but all within touching distance. Best to hire a car - do so at a local car hire in Fira - George from Auto4U (nect to Mcdonalds) was excellent and very reasonable. Highly recommend this resort on this beautiful island

I could not highly recommend desiterra. From the villas to the staff, it was definitely one of the best holiday and experiences we’ve had. Including the massages, they are top notch! Staff are friendly and made our stay an enjoyable experience. They were also accommodating since one of our party was vegan. Love how we get to choose from the breakfast menu even though it was included in our package and not your typical buffet breakfast. The scenery was also undeniably beautiful. Seeing the sunrise from our villa was amazing experience. Thank you to the CEO Dmitri for our celebratory wine, thank you to Sandesh for making our meals extra entertaining and none the less, thank you to the two ladies

This place is simply wonderful. So quiet and calm. The villas are just so gorgeous and having your own private pool is just class! Our villa was perfect - we had a small kitchen area which was useful. The bed was so comfortable and we watched the sunrise directly from our bed. It was so romantic. There is a small staircase which leads to a mezzanine and a small balcony— lovely touch. The staff are so very friendly- it was our second visit and they all recognised us. We met the CEO this time who was equally so down to earth and friendly. Everyone just genuinely wants you to have the best time and most wonderful time. I will definitely return!

The staff made us feel genuinely welcome from the moment we arrived and went above and beyond to ensure we had an unforgettable experience. The food was exceptional, the spa was incredibly relaxing, and the entire resort is the perfect place to unwind while still being close to everything Santorini has to offer. We made memories that will last a lifetime and can't wait to come back. Highly recommended!

We enjoyed our stay and the staff was amazing. Everyone was so helpful and accommodating, and had great suggestions on things to do in the area. Our flight arrived very early and the resort provided transportation and a complementary breakfast while we were waiting for the room to be ready. From the moment we stepped onto the property the staff made us feel comfortable and welcome. We traveled as a family, and the two bedroom villas were nice and spacious – plenty of room for a family of five. This resort is definitely outside of town, so figuring out transportation is a must- which the staff will help with if needed.

We had a wonderful stay at this resort and would highly recommend it. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and always willing to help with anything we needed, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The location is absolutely beautiful, with a peaceful and relaxed atmosphere throughout the resort. Each villa has its own private pool and is thoughtfully spaced apart, creating a sense of privacy and tranquillity that made it easy to completely unwind. The restaurant served excellent food, with high-quality dishes and plenty of choice. The resort also provided a driver who was always available to help us travel wherever we wanted to go, which made exploring the area effortless. One of the highlights of our stay was the spa, which was truly blissful and the perfect place to relax and recharge. Overall, this resort exceeded our expectations in every way. Between the outstanding service, stunning setting, delicious food, and luxurious facilities, it was an unforgettable experience. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend it to others.
