Goulielmos Hotel

My other half booked this hotel as a surprise holiday for myself and the hotel was beautiful. The views are unmatched overlooking the sea. We had a lovely room with our own pool. I would recommend getting a car if you’re staying here as it’s out of the way of Fira and oia which you must visit. The bar staff were always so inviting and kind and were happy for us to sit and play cards together in the bar in the evenings. Julia the receptionist was a lovely lady and did everything in her power to make our stay as good as it could be she was so kind and friendly (thank you so much). Regardless of all the nice things about the hotel we did have some hiccups with another receptionist who we had to go to during the day regarding some problems. Unfortunately we found a big shard of thick broken glass in the bottom of our private pool.. my partner stepped on it and luckily didn’t cut himself. As soon as we found it we emailed reception and told her what we had found. She came to our room and collected it took it back to reception then emailed us basically saying it must be our fault as no one has been in the pool since we arrived and that the pools get cleaned thoroughly twice a day.. the whole time we were there I saw a cleaner netting the pool twice within the week. We explained to her we haven’t had any glass in or near the pool nor smashed anything during our stay, she wasn’t apologetic and the situation got dismissed. Our room had wires hanging out of the walls taped up which you can see in the photos. Our tv didn’t work so we asked reception if someone could come and fix it which they kindly did at 9pm. The hairdryer I used which is provided in the bathroom worked for about 5 minutes before it no longer turned on anymore. My partner paid a lot of money to surprise me with some balloons in the room when we arrived which was a lovely touch. He was disappointed as he had paid for the most expensive one and it didn’t live up to the pictures he got emailed beforehand, he did say something to the same receptionist and she shrugged it off yet again. When leaving we checked out with the same receptionist and she didn’t ask how our stay was made no conversation and just said we need to pay our tourist tax (which we did). Once that was done there was no goodbye or anything friendly. This hotel is expensive, so we didn’t expect to have such issues we had experienced which is disappointing and could’ve been handled better in my opinion. Other than the small things we had a really nice stay and definitely recommend having your own pool with a sea view.

We had a wonderful stay at Goulielmos Hotel in Santorini! From the moment we arrived, everything was perfect. The hotel is in a beautiful location with stunning views, and the atmosphere is peaceful and relaxing.

The room was clean, comfortable, and beautifully maintained, and the staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay. The breakfast was delicious. What really made our stay special was the excellent hospitality and attention to detail. We felt very well looked after and enjoyed every moment of our time here.

We would definitely recommend Goulielmos Hotel to anyone visiting Santorini and would happily stay here again!
