This was our third stay at this hotel. We enjoy the comfortable rooms, friendly and helpful staff and the good breakfasts. It is well placed inside the walls of the old town and in easy walk to good restaurants (if a bit touristy) and some good coffee shops and so on. The shopping area is great (so my wife tells me) although we don't do much of that while we are there. Previously we have taken a car but parking around the hotel is difficult so this time we left the car and used taxis and buses as necessary. If you want a comfortable room with good facilities and a king size bed this could be for you. We recommend.

Loved the hotel, and the staff. I rated 4/5 because there were not enough vegan options for breakfast (the cost of breakfast is included in the room rate). Also, it was difficult to find parking. The lot that the hotel recommends was full, on 2 different days, so we had to find street parking and risk getting a ticket.

The people at Sunny Villas are great!! They go out of their way to make sure the guests are taken care of and will help with whatever is needed. The hotel has the best views of both the famous Santorini sunset and the Caldera… very tranquil and peaceful. Would highly recommend Sunny Villas to anyone looking to stay in Santorini

Congestion in and around Heraklion is insane. We stayed 4 days and had to park our car a mile away and walk back and forth. ZERO available parking near this hotel. The hotel needs to figure this out because the current situation is unacceptable. This is most unfortunate because the hotel itself is fantastic! Great staff, great room and close to a lot of shopping and dining options (walking). The construction outside added to the congestion and created a noisy and dirty enviro-ment outside the hotel. This is not the hotels fault, but it does contribute to the overall feeling of the stay.
