Meltemi Village

We have recently returned from this lovely hotel,stayed for the second part of our twin island holiday. A very warm welcome from friendly reception staff. Our room was one of the older type (very greek). It was spacious with plenty of storage including double wardrobe. The bed was huge with separate mattresses,extremely comfortable too. The bathroom was typicaly greek too meaning that it got very wet when showering but we have got used to that during many holidays to Greece. The bed linen and towels were changed regularly and were of good quality. We were short on utensils and lacking a toaster but after a request to reception we were soon given everything we needed so Thankyou. This was our second visit to Santorini having visited over a decade ago and we were very disappointed by the huge swell in tourists especially from cruise ships on a daily basis. Such a tiny island, it simply cannot cope with the traffic and footfall and we felt sad to see the vast change. For that reason we will not return, however we can highly recommend The Meltemi village and its lovely staff. Thankyou to all. To echo another review we also recommend Gods Garden for a meal. Authentic greek food (hard to find) at very reasonable prices,lovely atmosphere. The best meal that we had while on Santorini.

We stayed for a week with TUI and the hotel was perfect for us. We were upgraded to a junior suite (room 44) which had a very private walled courtyard with sun loungers and a large covered jacuzzi/plunge pool which was so welcome after a day’s sightseeing or when the main pool got busy. The room itself was spotlessly clean and bright with a modern bathroom with a good shower. The pool area is lovely - plenty of shade and sun, comfortable sunbeds and very peaceful (most of the time). People do reserve beds with towels but not too much of a problem (in June). The pool bar and the breakfast service is run by two brothers who are just delightful and do a very professional job. Lunches are varied and reasonably priced. Breakfast is the usual hot and cold buffet with plenty of choice and lots of homemade/Greek options. Easy to get a table either inside or outside by the pool. The hotel is very well placed in Perissa - just a 5-10 minute walk to the beach with all its restaurants and bars. A well stocked mini supermarket is almost next door and sells very good and very cheap local wine (there’s a fridge and wine glasses in the room). All the staff are wonderful - so helpful and friendly and go the extra mile to make sure you’re happy. We will definitely come back!

We got to the hotel to find they had upgraded us to an amazing apartment with private pool, very handy what with having our 2 young children (toddler and a baby) there. All staff very friendly and welcoming. Rooms were cleaned everyday. Checkout is at 12 midday and on day of leaving (we had a night time flight) they provided us with a different room that we rented for a small fee so that we had somewhere to shower and so that the kids could still have their naps.
