Located in Karterados, a small charming village very close to Fira, Villa Manos poses an excellent choice when looking for a budget-friendly and group-friendly lodging in Santorini. The minimal aspect of the cycladic architecture blends with a broader Mediterranean approach in colors, garden plants and structural details. The result is warm, welcoming and relaxing. Featuring an intriguing circular cafeteria engulfed by the outdoor swimming pool, it creates an entertaining and uplifting atmosphere.

Accommodation
The establishment features 31 rooms in total. 12 of those are equipped with a kitchenette and can be booked with a small additional charge. The room decor focuses on simplicity, with cycladic and earthen tones present; the whitewashed walls and light wood combination creates a pleasant, clean feeling. A great option for families and groups are the 2-bedroom apartments and suites of the hotel. The majority of units host a private balcony with a wide view of the Aegean Sea and the fresh-water pool of the hotel. All units have a private entrance for guests’ convenience.

Every room is well-equipped with all necessary modern amenities; wi-fi, air-conditioning, satellite TV, private bathroom, music player equipment and a variety of pillows for guests’ comfort. A laptop or tablet is offered in every room. The kitchenette units include refrigeration and basic cooking equipment. Ironing amenities are available upon request.

    Thanks so much for Poppy family's kindness and help. So great that they offer free transfer from the port, and extra transfer to Fira bus stop :)

    Villa Manos - a great place to stay
    When the ferry arrived at Santorini port my wife picked out Poppy from the throng of domatia people behind the fence all wanting our business. We liked her face & attitude so much that we decided to stay @ V. Manos. On arrival we were given a great welcome by Poppy's husband Vangelis and their daughter. The room was really good and had we stayed more that one night on the island we would have made even better use of the services available from the family.

    The bed was comfortable & the room very clean, we made our own dinner (from goods bought at the supermarket just 80 metres down the road) and had a relaxing swim in their pool with 180+degree views of the island & sea.

    The Fira village is a brisk 30 minute walk from the Villa and it gave us a chance to get some exercise before the shopping.

    The next morning's breakfast was better value than the price they charged!

    When the boat trip we had booked through Poppy was cancelled she worked very hard to find us an alternative. As our departing ferry was 7 hours after we checked out of the room they allowed us to store our bags at the Villa until after the boat trip and donkey rides and then they took us down to the main port (when they went to meet the next incoming ferry) so that we could wait a short while for our ferry to Folegandros.

    Because of their ***** service we plan to come back to Villa Manos in Santorini in 2011 - with 6 friends.

    Great holiday
    We have recently visited Santorini on a family holiday and must say that it was great. We stayed at Villa Manos and we recommend this to anyone going to Santorini. The family run villa offers all that is needed for your holiday, it is located very central to all buses and close to town. Cleanliness is top priority and all the family is very helpful in meeting all guests needs from car hire, to picking up from airport, ordering take out meals and explaining about popular trips. Thanks for making this a family holiday to remember.

    We were many families staying together at Villa Manos in June. Excellent and friendly service from the whole Poppy family! Very good breakfast! Nice, clean rooms. Free transport from/to the port and airport. We recommend this place!

    great hosts
    Thanks to Poppi and her family. We had a nice trip to Santorini in the first week of May. Their warm welcome was extraordinary. So, we felt immediately at home and comfortable. The room was ample, clean and had a nice balcony with furniture where you do have a look over the pool and fields around to the Eastern coastline. The time for breakfast and breakfast itself was great. So if you like to sleep a bit longer, it is not a problem. Renting a car/ bike was easy too. Poppi managed everything. Thanks again we had a nice trip. Greets from Germany.

    Nice and beautiful place
    I stayed with my husband & friends there. The villa is great and the owner were very kind. We enjoyed our 3 days vacation there. The rooms were clean and the city of fira is only walking distance from the villa. We are happy to stay there again. Thank you so much poppy we are looking forward to staying again in your villa.

    Best regards

    Amazing
    After traveling around Greece for 3 weeks, it was soo nice to be, not only picked up from the port but also welcomed so warmly. Poppy and her family are simply fantastic and have the best advice for tours and ways around the island.
    (The sunset tour of the island was amazing!!!)

    Loved every minute
    Poppy and the whole crew at Villa Manos were amazing! The hotel was very clean. The room was modern, had air conditioning, TV, and fridge. Breakfast was good especially for the price. Poppy went above and beyond. She is so nice and is willing to help you find whatever you need to have a great stay. I would highly recommend this place and would certainly stay here again!

    Fantastic!
    We stayed at Villa Manos in late october to november for 2 weeks in 2006, out of all the places i stayed in my holiday throughout europe this was by far the best, and probably one of the cheapest. We had a twin room which a kitchenette and fridge and a wonderful balcony we spent every meal eating on! The family that owns it is lovely and will not hesitate to help you with anything you need! I would highly recommend this place to anyone, and will definately be back sometime in the future!

    We stayed there just one night, and the weather was terrible! But the hotel is great! Poppy & Filitsis (?) are helpful & great! Made us feel very comfortable, and the rooms are great too. The location is great,
  • foxy_krissy 12 Nov 2007
    Amazing place!!!!
    We stayed at Villa Manos from the 4th - 8th October, 2007. This was indeed the best place we stayed in our whole 3 months travelling around Europe! You cannot beat the location, the facilities or the hospitality! Poppy, the owner, is a real gem, nothing is too much trouble! We will always fondly remember Villa Manos, as that is where we got engaged!!!! :)

    Wonderful Honeymoon
    We stayed for four nights and would do it again in a heartbeat. Poppy and her husband are just what you need when you get to the island, warm, welcoming, helpful, and genuinely happy to see you! Our room was the largest we had on our whole trip across Europe, and the walk into the town of Fira was not a problem. After all, when traveling in Europe, you just get used to walking a lot of places. The price was simply unbelievable. We highly and unreservedly recommend this place to anyone.
  • caryn_yuen 25 Jun 2007
    Definitely above average
    Our first hotel in Greece and it exceeded expectations. The rooms were clean and spacious. The owners were very friendly and easy to talk to. They provided lots of information on car rental and tours around the island. A big plus was the free transport provided from the airport and to the new port. All in all, I would definitely recommend this place if you are looking to spend within this price range.

    Wonderful Trp!
    We stayed at the Villa Manos for six nights (May 17th-22). The room was wonderful, the views great, location super, people EXCELLENT! The Villa is close enough that we walked into town almost every day (the bus stop is very close but we enjoyed the walk). Poppy arranged a tour of the volcano for us and helped us with renting a car for a day. I recommend the Villa Manos to you whole heartedly. We look forward to many future stays.
