Poppy was extremely nice and will help you with anything! Super courteous staff who clearly love doing their job. Location was a bit out of the way, but going into Thira or Parissa / Akrotiri is very easy thanks to the buses and the hotel sometimes offers lifts to the town centre!

Poppy and her husband were the best hosts you can possibly ask for. Genuinely amazing and friendly people that were so helpfull and go out of their way to help you! Was like staying with a family, not a hostel. facilities were brilliant although wifi a little weak in our room. Location is a little isolated but a $15 quadbike for the day can make anywhere in santorini close! Highly recommend And enjoyed every minute at this place!! Thanks poppy!

They staff are so lovely. They offer you food all the time! Like, food fit for a meal. It's so picturesque, with the view of the sunrise, and the pool, and the tables outside. The balcony puts you right into the terrace, so nice. The walk to Fira is the only thing that kind of sucks. But if you're going to get ATVs anyway it doesn't matter. Great place!

We loved it here. Close enough to a grocery store to walk. Near a bus stop, and Mrs Poppy picks you up from ferry or airport. They are a lovely family, and very generous giving us a gift of wine when we left. The location is very close to Fira, maybe walk able, definitely by car or bus easily. Having a pool was a bonus. We are two single young night owls, but families, young travelers and couples were welcome too.

Very nice place to stay!!!! The owners are amazingly nice, they went to find me in the port when I arrived and they led me in the airport when I left without extra charge!!! They offered me something to dinner when I arrived and something to eat when I left... They really made me feel like in family!!! The place is very clean and safe, it's close to Fira ( main town) but you need to walk 20min aprox in the roadway or wait a bus that pass in front of the hotel. I definitely recommend this place!!

Had a great 3 night's stay and recommended the hostel to a couple of friends who booked their stay with Villa Manos as well. Facilities are easily the best I've seen for this price range and Poppy was such a gracious host.

Villa Manos is AMAZING. I will never stay anywhere else. Poppy and her family are incredibly accomodating and so kind. They really made us feel at home. The location is perfect, right next to a bus stop and walking distance from Fira. The rooms are comfortable and clean. The pool is beautifully blue and refreshing. Great value for the money. Thanks for everything!

An amazing hostel, and DEFINITELY one of my all-time favorites! Poppy and the staff are wonderful; they picked us up/dropped us off at the airport, spontaneously fed us both dinner one night and breakfast one morning, and were very eager to help us plan our days. I highly recommend: renting an ATV (15 euro for 24 hours!) from the company they recommend, relaxing by the pool, and sitting on your room's balcony. Santorini is beautiful, as is the atmosphere at Villa Manos! Worth every penny!

Just a short walk to the town of Fira, this hotel was amazing. The room was huge with bathroom, kitchen, balcony and everything we could ask for. The pool is beautiful and most importantly the staff is incredible. Everyone should stay here!

Villa Manos was an amazing experience that definitely exceeded my expectations. Poppy and his wife picked us up from the ferry, dropped us off at the airport, upgraded our room at no additional cost (since tourism was slow) and cooked us surprise, free meals. My friends and I felt very welcome and relaxed...Villa Manos spoiled us!

This is the BEST hostel EVER. Poppy is the sweetest lady who will help you with anything. She and her husband even cooked my friends pasta one night and picked us up at the port at 1am! Stay at Villa Manos; I couldn't recommend it more! You will have a terrific experience!

The staff was great, helped us figure out excursions, cleaned the room everyday, and gave us a bottle of wine when we left. Plus the transportation to and from the port was really helpful!

Poppy and her family are the most amazing hosts ever! Poppy picked us up from our ferry at 2am in the morning, and was so kind to us during our stay of 5 nights. Breakfast for 5 euro is really good value and the villas are a 20 min walk into Fira. Beautiful pool which we didnt get to use at it was still a bit cold. Poppy organised us a rental car while we were there for a very good price. Very sad to say good bye to her! From your favourite Kiwi couple xo

Our stay at Villa Manos was absolutely incredible! We had to make our reservation last minute because of problems with one of our flights, and they were very accommodating. They picked us up from the airport and arranged for our transportation to the airport because we were going to be out and about that day. The staff was extremely friendly and we were greeted with a glass of wine and they brought us a nice dinner when we got back that night. It was a wonderful stay and I highly recommend!
