We never write reviews but in this case, we just had to. Giannis and Katerina were wonderful hosts. Before our trip Katerina send us many recommendations as to what to do and experience in Santorini. She also organized our transportation and answered all our questions always replying within the day. Once we were there Giannis met us to welcome us to the villas and again shared with us suggestions about what to do. Once we finally settled on activities, he made all the arrangements for us. Their staff were also so lovely and attentive to all our needs. They truly made our vacation memorable. As for the villas itself one word AMAZING. It was very clean, well-stocked and spacious. The view is everything. We had the best of time. Thank you Katerina and Giannis!

The location and view cannot be beat but be prepared for the 120 steps of various widths and heights. We are all physically fit so it was not problem for us but this should be noted on Expedia and the website for the villas. The villa was clean but it was HOT. There is only one small air conditioning unit and it does not keep Villa Agis cool. The master bedroom was miserably hot even with the door open, which sucked for us because we would have preferred the privacy given that it was our wedding anniversary. However we did not want to melt so we had to keep the door open. Also, the only bed clothes on the beds are fitted sheets and a comforters. Given the interior temperature of the villa, a single top sheet would have been appropriate. As other reviews have stated, breakfast is a loaf of bread, some jam, some ham, and some sliced cheese. That would not even come close to feeding our 5 kids who ranged from 17 to 23. Luckily there are bakeries nearby so we bought a variety of savory breakfast pies every morning. The safe in Villa Agis was not operational so we had to carry all of our cash, jewelry, and passports around with us for four days. That added a lot of weight to my purse. The outdoor furniture is in disrepair so that was a disappointment. Also the pool was far too hot to get into. We were looking forward to using it to cool off but it was 34.5 C!! We asked for the temperature to be turned down and it was but it never got cool enough for us to swim in.

Amazing !!! We loved our stay. Perfect location, everything Katarini arranged went like clockwork from transport to and from airport to porters for luggage. There are lots of stairs but the location is definitely worth the effort. Loved sitting in gin hot pool at night with view of caldera. One of our favorite travel memories

Very well situated in the heart of Oia on Santorini. I counted 83 steps from the main pedestrian street to my door, but walking up and down the steps is part of life in Oia. The bed in my villa was a bit small but comfortable, and the room was charming, clean, and quiet. We enjoyed our stay very much. Highly recommended.

Our trip to Santorini was perfect, thanks to Katerina and our stay at Ifestio Villas. We got there late in the afternoon and were starving, so finding the fridge full of food and a bottle of sparkling wine was a real treat. On our first day she gave us an amazing explanation on the history of the island and showed us the best places to go. The suite we stayed in had absolutely everything we need, even beach supplies. Not to mention the view. Stunning. I even loved the visit of some cats when we were sitting in the balcony. They are so much fun.

A wonderful find in Oia. Very central to all town restaurants and activities but da enough. Away we didn’t hear all the The “villa” was spacious and brightly colored. The kitchenette was perfect and I well equipped. Our balcony looked out on the caldera - absolutely fantastic. Katerina ( the owner ) is a treasure. She helped us plan our days, recommended restaurants and arranged to get us on a sunset cruise when the internet told me no space was available. She even offered to bake a cake for us when she learned it was our 35th anniversary. Thank you Katerina!!
