We loved Villa Dakoronia. We couldn't have picked a better location, view or hosts.
Will definitely visit again.
Joanna and Memos were excellent hosts and arranged our travel to and from the airport even at inconvenient times. They gave superb recommendations for restaurants in the area and things to do and see. Thanks for an amazing trip!

With friends we stayed here for three nights recently. The owners Memos and Joanna are wonderful hosts. Location is excellent - just a short walk to the bustle of Thira but without the noise of the nightlife. We enjoyed late afternoon drinks on the balcony watching sunsets before wandering along the cliff top lanes to one of the many terrific restaurants for dinner.
The accommodation is just as listed and the hosts are superb. We spent a day with Memos driving us to some of the many island attractions, finishing with a wine tasting at Santos winery - not to be missed if you enjoy wines. Memos' driving is very safe and the day gave us some fascinating insights into the island's history and culture.
This stay was a highlight of our 2 weeks in Greece.
We had the most wonderful time staying at Villa Dakoronia. Memos the owner looked after us during our stay and he was unbelievable. From always being available for all our needs, to taking us on a tour of the island and a great seaside authentic restaurant. He even helped our family celebrate an anniversary with a special cake. He was totally committed to making sure our stay was a 5 star experience. The apartment is exactly as shown on the site, excellent and location and outlook superb. This is a must stay place, could only think of one think we could of had on some hot days, a swimming pool, but Memos is planning to build this over winter. Thankyou Memos!!

Our stay at the villa in July was spectacular from the moment Memos picked us up at the airport until the day we departed. They were the most gracious of hosts and we enjoyed every minute of our stay. The villa was very accommodating and the little extras Joanna provided daily were so nice!! Our hosts made this feel like a home away from home.
The view from our rooftop deck was breathtaking, including the caldera and all the cruise ships daily.
If you want to see Santorini, this is the place to stay.

From the moment we arrived, Joanna, Memos and Joseph made us feel like family. You cannot find more gracious and helpful hosts. They are exceptional. The villia is beautiful, comfortable and perfectly located. We did not want to leave and hope to return. You cannot select a better place to stay.

Beautiful villa, amazing location and great owners only begin to summarise this villa. I have just returned from a week at the villa with a good friend.
We were met at the airport (despite a late arrival time) and taken to the villa. The villa is situated near to the cliff edge in Fira and it is only a few minutes walk to the centre of Fira. However this walk can be delayed by the many people wanting to take pictures of the view, which is mind blowing.
The Villa was spotlessly clean and tidy and had all the amenities you could want. No request was too small and I thank the owners for sourcing a U.K. Power adapter for me. Both bedrooms are of a very good size with loads of storage and air conditioning. The villa also had a safe although it never felt as though it was needed. It is worth mentioning that the bedroom on the upper floor and also where the private balcony is does require the negotiating of a slightly challenging stair case which is virtually vertical. It was certainly easier without champagne ;)
The owners are full of great recommendations for places to eat and visit, I would endorse "idol" for dinner in the evening, we had 2 lovely meals here.
We loved staying here and have taken away many fond memories....thanks :) x
Villa Dakoronia
Stayed here for a week in June 14 with some friends (4 people in total).
The Villa is fabulous, accommodation excellent, and what a view across the
Caldera. Spent many a late night on the roof terrace, glass of wine in hand,
and some tasty morsel from Johanna to eat. Recommended is Mamos's
tour of the island very interesting day, ending at a local winery just perfect.
The owners attention to detail put the finishing touches to a marvelous holiday
would go back any time.
