Hotel Sunny Villas

Hotel Sunny Villas

10/10 Excellent
"I could not say enough wonderful things about our experience at Sunny Villas! Irini, Helena, and Alex were our points of contact and we wanted to take all of them home with us. They offered amazing recommendations, made us reservations and Alex even packed up a breakfast for us the night before we left since we were leaving before dawn. I’m so glad we didn’t go with an apartment, the bag carrying alone was worth the hotel fee. If you all see this please know how much Hazel and I appreciated your kindness and hospitality. Highly recommend Agean for lunch (just a 5 min walk). We went back again for the pitas and tzatziki. SOO delicious. Santorini was a dream thanks for our experience with Sunny Villas! "

What is a historic hotel like in Santorini?
Historic hotels give guests the chance to stay in a place that's been recognised with an official historic designation. Historic hotels throughout the world can be castles, palaces or even pubs or old police stations — as long as it's of special interest. These types of hotels in Santorini often retain original qualities like traditional architecture and period features in their public spaces or guestrooms.
What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
The two are similar. The term "historic hotel" is more common in the U.S., while you'll often hear "heritage hotel" in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to place more significance on the architecture and actual building. A heritage hotel draws meaning mainly from the cultural value that the place has and how it inspired the community.
Do historic hotels in Santorini have modern facilities?
Yes. Every effort is made to preserve the historic aspects and traditions, but interiors include modern conveniences and safety features. Guests can expect the amenities you'd find in a hotel such as private rooms with updated bathroom facilities, heating and air conditioning, and free and fast Internet. In Santorini, booking a historic hotel doesn't mean you're choosing a place that's uncomfortable for guests or simply rundown.
