Villa DALI Danae with large jacuzzi and amazing volcano and caldera view

Villa DALI Danae is situated in an exclusive and quiet neighborhood along the traditional caldera path between Fira (Thira) and Firostefani, overlooking the worldfamous Volcano and facing the spectacular Caldera view from the front patio, Fira sideways and the eastern part of Santorini and even the island of Anafi from the back patio. It is located in the most unspoiled part of the old town and perfect to enjoy and relax at the outdoor terrace and the front and back patio of the house.

Villa DALI (licensed by the Greek Organization of Tourism since April 2015) was renovated from an old Theran villa in 2015 and again in 2023. Villa DALI, once our family home, has been transformed into two exquisite villas: Villa DALI Leda on the first floor and Villa DALI Danae below. Each villa boasts a private entrance and can be rented individually. Yet, large families and groups of friends can rent both villas, providing a perfect setting to enjoy the beauty of Santorini together! To see Villa DALI Leda please search it by its name under the same host.

This spacious house provides the unique occasion to live in a private property that combines comfort and privacy. The 85 sq m high-ceiling house consists of three bedrooms (the first two with queen size bed and the third one with double bed), two bathrooms with shower made out of off-white polished cement, a living/dining-room, a fully equipped kitchen with modern facilities and a hall. Since June 2023 there is also a large heated jacuzzi (hot tub) at the back yard, suitable for 5-6 persons.

Some antique furniture of the older house decorate the villa offering a different and classy touch. Contemporary aquarelle and oil paintings decorate the walls of all rooms of the villa. All three bedrooms are equipped with ecological mattresses and are ventilated with Westinghouse 4-speed ceiling fans for ecological reasons. All three bedrooms are also equipped with Carrier Air Conditioner (cool / heat) system of latest technology. The inner temperature in all places of the property is comfortable. The comfortable living/dining room has one cozy sofa, which can easily be opened in a double bed accommodating two more persons. Thus, Villa DALI Danae is perfectly suitable for families or a group of friends up to six people plus two extra people, if needed.

There is free Fiberspeed 200Mbps Wi-Fi access to all areas of the villa. There is also a daily free housekeeping service. Linens and bath towels are included in the house and are changed every three days (their laundry and ironing is provided at no cost for you).
With more than 100 sq m. outdoor front yard and back yard the villa offers the opportunity of outdoor living and outdoor dining. The villa has an inside dining room, but it also offers the opportunity of outdoor dining for up to 8 persons. It has spacious outdoor areas and two big (2.5 meters each) parasols at the front and back patio. So, one can easily lie and enjoy outdoors the whole day long, since the property provides a variety of outdoor possibilities for every time of day and night.

It is crucial to point out that there is an easy entrance to the Villa (the car reaches 10-15 meters from its entrance) with no endless footpaths, uphill and hard to navigate stairs to reach your accommodation. There is a big free parking place 2 minutes walking distance from the house. The Villa is located very close to Nomikos Conference Center, St. John Catholic Cathedral, St. Stylianos Church and the Cable Car entrance, while it is at a walking distance (5 – 6 minutes) from the center of Fira (the capital of Santorini) and all the mini markets, cafes, restaurants, bars and night clubs. There is a convenient public transportation from the central square of Fira serving all places of the island.

The airport and the port are about 6-8 km away from the property (15-20 min by car/taxi). A special minivan transfer service from/to the airport/port could be arranged.

Early check-in and late check-out (upon availability).

Safety Checklist: Fire Extinguisher, Smoke Detector, Carbon Monoxide Detector, First Aid Kit, Safety Card.

The guests have their local host available any time to offer help and tips or if they may need something. He is there to welcome them at the check-in and also at the check-out and at their disposal during their stay at the villa.

The guests can use all indoors and outdoors spaces of the villa, which are at their sole disposal during their stay.

Beautiful Santorini Experience
I cannot say enough wonderful things about this property and the owners themselves. The property was absolutely beautiful, clean, organized and perfectly located for spectacular views and easy access to the center. The owners were extremely friendly and helpful and have cared for the property meticulously. If I were to return to Santorini I would love to stay here again. Our family had a wonderful experience.

Wonderful Location & Amazing Hosts
We had a great time staying at the Vila. The location was perfect with stunning views from the front and back allowing for outside dining mornings and evenings. It was easy to take day trips walking along the coast. Maria and Yannis were the best hosts that we've had in 15+ years of using VRBO. We hope to bring our extended family back to visit Santorini and stay in both Vilas!

Incredible views!
We absolutely loved our 4 night stay in Villa DALI Danae! The Villa is very comfortable and has amazing views of the caldera and across Santorini. It is very private, great walking access to Fira and other local villages, and a fabulous plunge pool for relaxing and soaking in the views. Maria is very helpful throughout the booking process and holiday stay, and is assisted by Nikos who greets you on arrival and also very helpful during your visit. Definitely recommend this Villa for your holiday in Santorini!

Loved this villa!
We absolutely loved our stay at Villa Dali. Maria and Nikos were so welcoming and communicative. We appreciate both of their tips and helping us set up transportation and our catamaran trip. The location of the villa was amazing, and the views were breathtaking!! We loved being right off the path so we could walk between villages and the villa is close to an easy drop off point for cars. The villa was so clean and had plenty of room for our family of four. We would definitely stay her again!!

Great Home in Santorini
Thotoughly enjoyed this wonderful home on the walking path between Fira and Oia. The house worked well for our family of 7 and we enjoyed the front and back patios with beautiful sunrises and sunsets. The house is a quick 5 min walk down to the heart of Fira with lots of shopping, restaurants and amazing views, and a 5-10 min walk up to Firastefani and the Three Bells of Fira. The owners were extremely helpful setting up luxury transportation from the port and to the airport that dropped us off and picked us up a quick 2 min walk from the house, and arranged for a couple of rental cars that we picked up a short 3 min walk from the house which was quick and easy for our day trip to Oia and the black sand beach. They also helped arrange a fantastic catamaran cruise around the island with Santorini Yacht Club which included transportation that picked us up a quick 5 min walk from the house. The check-in and check-out with Nikos was easy and ensured a smooth process. The owners were helpful and responsive to all our needs, and even brought us beach towels to use on our outing to Kamari Beach. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it.

Incredible Stay! 5 Stars
There were so many pros to staying at Villa Dali - the most important was how helpful and welcoming Maria and Nikis were to our group. We had them arrange our excursions and transport and greatly appreciated their support. The location is wonderful and having AC, the incredible patios and pool made it the perfect place for us. Honestly no Cons to even mention. You will not regret staying here!!!

Mama Mia Fantasy Trip!!!
My husband and I booked Villa Dali for our dream trip to Santorini. We were joined by my daughter and son in law, and granddaughter. Villa Dali was a fabulous villa, three very nice bedrooms, two baths, a full kitchen, and living area within walking distance of restaurants and shopping. The front and back terraces both have fantastic water and city views. We spent most of our evenings before dinner on the back terrace enjoying a glass of wine and jacuzzi. There were even fireworks two evenings to enhance the night scenery. Maria and Nikos are fantastic hosts. Maria arranged our transport to and from the airport, Nikos met my daughter and son in law at the villa, explained everything about its operation. Nikos even brought my husband's backpack to the airport when he left it behind. I can't say enough about their hospitality and attention to detail. We would definitely return and can not thank them enough for providing a lovely villa for a wonderful holiday!

Absolute Perfection!
Everything about Villa Dali was fantastic! Great location with incredible views that you can enjoy from several vantage points on the large spacious outdoor terraces. Everything was so clean and well appointed. Comfortable beds, great a/c in each bedroom. The communication with Maria and Nikos was top notch! Location truly can't be beat- along the path from Fira to Oia- can walk to anything you need. We had 3 couples and all felt it was the absolute perfect choice for our stay in Santorini.

Unforgettable experience, stunning views, central location!
I recently had the pleasure of staying at a wonderful accommodation in Santorini. From the moment I arrived. The apartment was clean with modern amenities. The staff's warm hospitality made me feel right at home, and they were always ready to assist with any request. One of the highlights was the private terrace, where I enjoyed stunning sunsets while sipping on local wine. The central location allowed easy exploration. Overall, my stay was an unforgettable experience, and I can't wait to return to this slice of paradise.

Exceeded our expectations!
As a family of 5 we frequently book apartments or villas when we travel. Sometimes the pictures are not a great representation of what to expect. Upon arrival I would say that the pictures of Villa Dali did not do it justice. The views were spectacular, the bedrooms spacious. The location was perfect for us. We literally watched the sunset one night while drinking wine on the front porch (While hundreds of people were lined up on the sidewalks to watch and take pictures). Another pleasant surprise was the level of service we received from Nikos. He arranged the transfer from the airport, was there to meet us when we first arrived. Anytime we had a local question I would text him and hear back in minutes. This included where to catch a cheaper boat tour, getting a transfer to a restaurant out of town. It was like having a personal concierge. We had a wonderful stay at Villa Dali! Thank you Maria and Nikos. I would not hesitate to book with you again!

Best VRBO experience ever!
Maria and Nikos could not have been more gracious and helpful! They provided everything including help with transportation from the airport, and to the ferry, to restaurant recommendations, to help securing a sunset cruise, as well as help with a rental car. The home is in a PERFECT location. So close to everything, but not crowded or loud. Beautiful view from all sides. The plunge pool is perfect to watch the sunrise or cool down after a big day exploring Santorini. Honestly, this was the absolute best experience! We wish all hosts were like Maria and Nikos! We will be back.

We were greeted by the property manager, Nikos, at arrival. He explained the property and location as well as gave us a run down on all recommended sights on a map. The property is a very short walk from Fira but far enough to avoid most of the noise. It is a very comfortable house with great views and a lovely hot tub. Highly recommend it. Thanks Nikos and Maria for a perfect stay.

Two couples and their adult son looking to stay on Santorini for a get away, and a friend’s wedding event. Plenty of space for all of us! Super easy to walk to any hotel overlooking the caldera with an amazing sunset view. Lots of foot traffic going by outfront but we loved that! Not too crowded, just out-of-the-way enough. Maria- Sofia was super easy to get a hold of and communicated with us at every turn. She arranged our shuttle service from the airport, any housekeeping needs, activities on the island, you name it.

Lively Stay in Santorini
My family and recently I stayed at Villa Dali for 4 nights. The location of the Villa was perfect with stunning views of the volcano and sunsets from the front yard, and beautiful sunrises from the back. It is far enough from the crowds in Fira yet steps away from town, shops and restaurants, car rental and easy free parking. The Villa was spacious and very comfortable for our family of 5. Maria and Nikos are exceptional hosts making our stay the best it could be. Maria was so responsive answering my many questions from the moment we booked and throughout our stay. She helped with transfers, restaurant, car rental and cruise reservations. Each day she reminded us of what we had booked th following day. She made great suggestions giving us ideas of what to do and see in Santorini. Nikos, who met us on the ground for check in and check out was kind and helpful, quickly answering any questions or concerns we had during the stay. When our ferry was delayed and we arrived late at night both Maria and Nikos were so helpful tracking ferries, responding to an ongoing delay and insuring the driver will be at the port when we arrive as well as Nikos welcoming us at the Villa at 11:30 pm. This gave us so much peace of mind during a stressful day and we are very grateful to both of them. Our only regret is we did not have more time to enjoy the beautiful Villa and stunning Santorini.

Fantastic location with the most helpful hosts
All of Maria's communications were timely, patient, and super helpful. She and Nikos were incredibly accommodating and knowledgeable! We especially are grateful for all their suggestions and advice on getting around Santorini and for their assistance in arranging transportation for us from the port to Vila Dali, obtaining and parking a rental car, and early morning check out and ride to the airport. Similarly, Nikos was terrific in familiarizing us with the house, how to work everything, and was so friendly and helpful. His recommendation of the Pyrgos Restaurant was fantastic; one of the best meals we had on our entire trip. From a personal service standpoint, our experience with Maria, Nikos, and anyone they connected us with was outstanding. The location of the Villa is terrific. We loved the views and felt that the photos and information provided were accurate. All the many outside spaces of the villa were great. There are many options for sitting outside and enjoying the amazing views: front terrace, back terrace and rooftop. Finally, the remote-controlled air conditioning units came in handy and were much appreciated.
