I had such a wonderful stay here! The hotel is family-run, and you can really feel the warmth and care in the way the staff treat their guests. Everyone was so kind and welcoming, which made the experience extra special. The property itself is spotless, well taken care of, and offers absolutely stunning views of Santorini. It’s the perfect place to relax and enjoy the island. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Santorini!
Extremely welcoming and accommodating family, happy to help you with all things Santorini! Beautiful location, scenic and peaceful away from the crowds of Fira and Oia.
Emi and her family were outstanding owners and service oriented The rooms were very clean and had all the basics you needed. Drinking water was not provided daily, and it is a high value item on the island. The included breakfast was outstanding and far beyond just continental. For a price, they did a great job of arranging transportation anytime it was needed.
Staff was so kind to me, and treated my daughter and I like family. We felt so welcome and the food was also incredible. Everything about this place was amazing. The view was also just to die for. It made my 33rd birthday one for the books. Thank you Villa Galinia for making my stay so worth while and memorable. Highly recommend this hotel.

Wonderful view, very friendly people. I had not realized that they would have picked me up at the bus station. Recommend calling them so that they can pick you up. The food was excellent! Thank you, Amy and your whole family for taking good care of me.
Property is very nice and relaxing (had to find it with help from Google Maps listed as a "restaurant"). It is up a hill. Room was very good, clean, olive oil soap, balcony, view. Staff friendly, good breakfast. Akrotiri is a more secluded area, it is walkable through pathways to a few shops.
The owners of the hotel made us feel so welcome and looked after. Nothing was too much to ask for. The hotel is spotless and has beautiful views of the caldera and is very well situated with local shops and a bus stop for Fira a 10 minute walk away. There is also a quad bike rental place next door to the hotel where we got an amazing price for our rental. I cannot recommend this hotel strongly enough, thank you for making our holiday perfect!
We absolutely loved our stay at Villa Galinia. Would definitely come back again. We loved how you were treated just like family… best ever vacation experience.
The most amazing stay at Villa Galinia. The family that run the villa were incredibly welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. The accommodation was clean, the breakfast fresh and tasty and the views simply stunning. I fell in love with my room & the location & will certainly be back again soon. Thank you!
Consiglio vivamente questo posto per godersi l'isola lontani dalla confusione dei centri più gettonati. Emi e la sua famiglia offrono un servizio accogliente e caloroso. Ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo.
Séjour très agréable !
Hôtel familial, aux petits soins pour que l’on s’y sente bien.
Très calme, bonne literie.
Très belle vue sur la mer !
On recommande +++
Hôtel familial trés propre et avec une équipe trés agréable, à l'écoute. Le ménage dans la chambre est fait tous les jours. L'hôtel propose plusieurs services permettant de faciliter les déplacements et d'apprécier au mieux le séjour. Je conseille vivement.
