This was an amazing vacation for our family. We stayed in the saffron gatherers villa which had two bedrooms and two bathrooms, kitchen, nice patio and pool. The villa has AC and it was nice a cool and the patio had the best breeze. The climate was amazing. The breakfast was great with a variety of egg omelettes and eggs and variety of pancake choices (Nutella), greek yogurt and granola, juices. Friendly staff, rooms were super clean and the staff was very attentive . Short car ride to Fira and Oia. We spent some days at the beaches and one day with caldera yachting on a sunset sail (which we HIGHLY recommend) The hotel is in the most perfect location, you can get every where relatively quickly. It is away from the hustle bustle and very peaceful and serene with the most amazing sunrises. The spa has great therapists and treatments as well. The beds were so comfortable and the showers had great water pressure and cold and hot water that never ran out. We travelled with three children. There are not enough stars to rate how amazing this hotel/villa is - amazing!

Amazing, best vacation!

I like everything, friendly and very professional staff, incredible customer service I just love it

Very quiet & relaxing, great service and they are not stingy with the food

This property is beautiful and is very well maintained. The staff here are amazing! The location is a bit remote, about 10 minutes drive from Fira, but offers a peaceful atmosphere with great amenities. I would like to send out a special shoutout to both Michael at the front desk and Argyris, the hotel driver. Michael was always professional and always willing to help in booking excursions and transportation and made good recommendations. Argyris was absolutely amazing!!!! His level of professionalism, strong work ethic and patience, sets him apart from the rest of the staff. He has a paternal effervescence that makes you feel safe and well cared for.

Breakfast very basic and limited choice Pool hasn’t been clean in 10 days Cleaning can be improved by a lot Overall it’s not bad but don’t believe what you see in the pictures!!!!!

The room was nice, however the service was really poor. We got a private villa (for privacy...) Firstly, the worker would come into the garden and walked by the pool whilst we were there. Secondly, instead of knocking on the door to speak to us, he would go into the neighbouring villa and talk over the hedge to ask us questions. Bearing in mind we were dress inappropriately so found it very disturbing. Due to the poor sewage system (I assume) the sinks in the room were extremely smelly (like a rotten egg) we complained multiple times until they decided to come and attempt to clean it - but the smell was still present. Overall the room was nice, but smelly and the service was poor. If it was only a few hundred for the stay it wouldn't be bad, but when you pay 1k+ it's very disappointing. We also mentioned it was our anniversary but no efforts were made - not expecting anything, but an acknowledgement would have been appreciated.

A luxurious resort with stunning views from the private pool. We had a wonderful stay and the staff were very accommodating and attentive. Thank you

Amazing 5 star place with private pool. Anything you could ever need. Peace and quiet whilst a short drive from the busy town.

We had a dreamy time at desiterra. What a beautiful hotel! Perfect to disconnect and relax. We particularly enjoyed how competent, kind and helpful the Spa staff were!

Great place

Staff are kind and friendly.

The views that we had from our villa was the best of all, but as soon as you get inside of the villa you get that bad smell from the bathroom sewer, the breakfast is nightmare not a lot of choices and even with what they offer a probably a 5 years old will cook better. To get to the property is another story, the roads are dangerous and no light or sign to the property except I believe at the beginning of the main road.

Very hospitable and accommodating staff . Very nice views from the villas and privacy in the villas.

Nice villas and very nice and accommodating staff. the location is a 15-20 min drive to oia and 10 min drive to Fira. You must rent or arrange some sort of transportation (taxis can get expensive). They provide transportation from airport for 30 euros. The area nearby is under construction and really nothing to do near the resort itself. The resort does have a kitchen for breakfast, lunch and dinner and can be sent to the room. Sunset you will not be able to see the actual sun but the sky is pretty and there are many stars at night.

Resort was beautiful and away in the desert but if you want more entertainment or activities then this place is quite and calmer

Awesome place to stay! Simply awesome!

Very secluded, quiet, & beautiful. The staff was more than accommodating at all times. The food was impeccable. And the accommodations were breathtaking. Would definitely recommend and we have plans to return. The River was the room to be in.

Excellent stay at Desiterra Resort & Spa. Staff were incredibly friendly and always willing to help. Easy to contact via WhatsApp and book transport into Fira. Area is picturesque with the Villa looking out towards the sea. If you are looking for a quiet and relaxing trip, with the option of popping into Fira, this is for you. Only slight issue was the shower temperature was slightly inconsistent - but I’m sure is an easy fix. Would highly recommend

The amenities are perfect and wonderful. The word buffet does not have the same meaning however the breakfasts were great nonetheless. The exclusiveness is the key word for this place. The privacy, the luxury and relaxation away from the mobs of tourists is divine! Next time I schedule a longer stay, our three days was just not enough!
