Illusion Villa - Exceptional Private Villa

Illusion Villa was a gem that I was lucky to find on Santorini for our family of six. The villa was incredible and the outside patio gardens, hot tub and barbecue were amazing. We were far away from the huge crowds, but were able to travel easily to the far side of the island to see the famous sunset and then come back and relax with the family in our hot tub with peace and quiet. There’s a cute little town within walking distance that we were able to get groceries, food and treats at. We also walked to the archaeological site and Red beach, although that may be a hike for some. The check in process and communication were excellent. The property manager or Penny would respond in seconds to any questions we had. I would highly recommend this villa for any family who wants to spend quality time together without all the hustle and bustle of crowds.I hope we are able to go back to Illusion Villa again sometime!

I would say everything is perfect, if I may add one thing it is to make the outside dining area more shady in the morning so that we can have breakfast outside.

We could not believe how peaceful and beautiful the villa was! Such a delight to find this hidden gem. Our group was glad to not be in the busier areas, and we would definitely recommend this home for a future stay. Plenty of space for 5 or 6 people. Thank you for a wonderful place to call home for the week!

We spent three weeks in Greece and five nights in Santorini. The Blue Villa was a welcome oasis as we continued to discover the beautiful island of Santorini, including the historical area of Akrotiri. There are plenty of things to do on this end of the island if you take the time to plan and get away from the crowds. Communication and check in were easy and tailored to our travel schedule. The villa itself is perched on a hill, and easy to find with navigation. It truly feels secluded with the high walls and spacious grounds, including the vibrant pink bougainvillea. The interior was equally beautiful with its charming blue shutters and eclectic decor. Our first evening was spent sipping wine under the full moon in the spa and watching the light and sailboats dance on the ocean Lodging was not far from the village where we had some great coffee drinks as we waited for a volcano tour shuttle to the main port at the local mini mart. After a day of touring and sunshine we had a fabulous seafood dinner near the local harbor. You won’t be disappointed with the booking of the peaceful Illusion Blue Villa.

Very private and peaceful location, short driving distance to a variety of attractions. Website pics and details provide a really good description of the house and its location. Be prepared for driving on a short stretch of very narrow and curvy roads to get to the house - same for accessing local beaches, with narrow, curvy and steep access roads but probably one of the most pictures beaches. 20 to 40 minutes to Fire and Oia, 15 mins to Perissa Beach.

The Villa was even more beautiful in person than it was in the pictures. It was immaculate and in perfect repair. Management was responsive and easy to communicate with. I cannot recommend this property highly enough.

We spent a week on the island of Santorini. Illusion Villa was lovely. Excellent communication with Aris, the property manager who suggested different excursions and was ready to help with any need. Sunrises were amazing. Multiple outside spaces for relaxing and enjoying the view. Akrotiri is on the south end of the island and away from crowded Oia and Fira. Markets and tavernas within a short walk. Sunset from the Akrotiri lighthouse is amazing.

4 stars instead of 5 because i had trouble reaching the property manager prior to our stay. i tried messaging via VRBO a month before our stay, then again a week before our stay, then again a few days before our stay. i emailed, called (cell doesn't accept incoming calls!) and then messaged via facebook. i did finally hear back and communication was great while at the villa. beautiful & quiet location away from crowds. my only complaint about the villa is there was no electric clothes dryer but maybe there isn't room for one. i also recommend cutting back the cactus at the entry as it's easy to brush against it coming in with luggage or shopping bags. overall, great place to stay & we enjoyed it.

This place is a must to be our arrival was really well planned and we had a great time in illusion villa. This is the best place to have in Santorini to get some rest without crowd…. Penny and Aris are kind and close to Pere ce too to arrange your vacation, well this is a 10/10 notation ?

Wonderful, clean, and bright home in Akrotiri with a very nice view of the bay. High recommend.
