Villa Clio Perissa

Review by hotel critic

During my recent trip to Santorini for a mixed work and leisure venture, I had the pleasure of staying at Villa Clio, just a short stroll from the breathtaking black lava sand beach of Perissa. The villa's picture-perfect vibe and its family-run charm truly captured my heart-plus, the staff were incredibly warm and ready to assist with any need, including arranging car rentals for effortless island exploration. The spacious and air-conditioned accommodation came with a lovely balcony overlooking the serene garden; quite the perfect spot for an evening glass of wine after a day spent capturing the stunning landscapes around. What I particularly appreciated was the refreshing pool area, which was a tranquil retreat, complete with sun loungers to soak up that glorious Mediterranean sun. As a fashion photographer, it's essential to have my mornings fueled right, so opting for breakfast on the delightful patio became my daily ritual-I loved watching the sun rise while enjoying hearty meals. With ample cafes and boutiques within walking distance, the location was a shopper's paradise, making it easy to pick up unique pieces that blended perfectly with Italy's luxury fashion scene. Villa Clio is a hidden gem that I can't recommend enough, especially if you're seeking a blend of comfort, beauty, and accessibility. It's an experience I'm eager to relive on my next creative adventure!
