Caldera's Lilium Villa

Oh my goodness Caldera's Lilium way exceeded our high expectations. The staff are warm and helpful, particularly the barman Chris - extremely polite too. The food is top class, if a little pricey (definatley not good for budget travellers, perfect for honeymooners like us!). The rooms were spotless and airy, ours had the most spectacular view of the famous Caldera sunset each night. We walked into Fira a few times, takes about 20-25 mins (wear a hat, it's hot!!), but the hotel provided a free shuttle bus at various times of the day.<br... more

as we say, really nice view both from the pool as well as the room. nice room as well. to tell you the truth, this is about all that can be said about this hotel. staff at the reception was basically non-existant. restaurant was ok but not more than that. no transfer from the port or into town. this would all be ok but to tell you the truth for the price we paid we would have expected something more...at least towels at the pool!! So, Santorini seems overpriced to us and this hotel stays exactly in the same line. Will not go back. ah, forgot... more

The best view for a sunset in Santorini, great staff very friendly, good food. I had the best time at this excellent resort. i fully recommend this great hotel on the edge of the caldera. the good services and the view from this hotel made my stay there worth the trip. Best regards to everyone at Caldera's Lilium you are doing a great job.

We stayed at this property for 3 nights as part of a package we purchased through [--------]. The property is located about 2km outside of the main town of Fira and approximately 3 to 4 km from the airport. The hotel has a shuttle that will take you into town for slightly less than a taxi. The main road has a nice sidewalk and we made the walk several times into town and back and found that it wasn't too taxing. The best part about the location of this property was the view -- spectacular views from your room, the pool and the hotel to the... more

I stayed here in the last week of September 2005 with a few members of my family (we were there for my brother's wedding). The best thing about this hotel is the view. The apartments are cut into the side of a cliff and overlook the Caldera, so the views are stunning. The apartments themselves are of an excellent standard, but make sure you don't get one of the rooms near the main road - it can get very noisy. I also thought the staff were brilliant - very helpful, and as it was the end of season we managed to get a really good rate.<br... more

This was our first time in Santorini and did not know what to expect. It was late at night when we arrived and could not see much BUT as day broke we realised taht we had stumpled onto a precious gem. This has to be one of the best places to stay and I am looking forward to returning

We stayed at the Caldera Lilium Villas for 3 days (August 6-9th, 2005). It is located on the caldera, on the main road but it is quiet. It is located in the middle of the island so we used part of the first day to go visit one end (up to Oia) and the next to visit the other (all the way to Akrotiri). We rented a car in order to see the island. Without transportation you cannot get the full experience of the island. The accommodations at this hotel were excellent. The hotel was clean and modern. It was exactly as the... more

This hotel has some of the most breathtaking views on the island. Absolutely stunning. The accommodation is lovely, spacious air conditioned rooms, clean, and typically Greek, and most rooms/suites have balconies with a Caldera view. The beauty of this hotel, unlike many in Santorini, is that the hotel is not overlooked, so you have reasonable privacy. The location is on the main road into the capital, and can be busy at times, but there are only a couple of rooms facing the main road. The hotel is out of town, so be prepared to either... more

I recently visited Santorini and stayed at Caldera's Lilium Villas. The only thing this property has going for it is the view. The location is terrible; remote in an odd sort of way, and located on what would be most comparable to a heavily travelled interstate in the States. We listened to cars drive by at 80+ mph every day. It is also a $6 cab ride to town each way. The first night we spent there it was a bit windy; there was some sort of rattling building noise that kept us all most of the night. When mentioned to Maria the next day at... more

i went to greece a couple of weeks ago and stayed at the caldera lilium hotel, although the weather was not cooperating, the staff at the caldera lilium hotel made our stay in santorini a very pleasant one. we were warmly welcomed by maria, who made all of our request come true. from a bigger room to a car rental. there was no problem she could not solved. however, if you want to stay in town, this is not the place because is about 5 minutes away and in a busy street, but if you do not mind the drive or walk i recommend.
