I had a mixed experience at Alexander Villas. The room had stunning caldera views that I can't stop raving about, but the service was disappointing and the check-in process was a hassle. The breakfast was nice but could use a little more variety. I enjoyed my stay overall, but I felt like it could've been way better given the price we paid.

My room was a Master Suite with very nice views, but I found it cramped and a bit dated. The bathroom was crowded and lacked ventilation, which was a downside.

The location was pretty convenient, close to shops and restaurants. I loved that it was a short walk to the main attractions, but I did find the town a bit too quiet and lacking in personality.

My stay at Alexander Villas had its high points and low points. The stunning views from my private terrace were a highlight of my experience, and I loved the spacious room with a cozy atmosphere. However, the service left much to be desired, particularly with the breakfast delivery and communication issues, and the massage I received was quite disappointing. Overall, while the location and view are stellar, I'd suggest considering alternatives for a better overall experience.

My stay at Alexander Villas was very nice! The amazing views of the caldera made every moment special, even though the early morning breakfast calls could be a bit too loud, especially after a late night. I loved the spacious suite with a private jacuzzi, but a power cable obstructed the view a bit. Overall, it was a fantastic experience I'll cherish forever.

Imerovigli is an excellent spot with stunning views and easy access to Fira. Just a 20-minute walk to the main town, but it's worth considering renting a quad bike to navigate the area comfortably.

Breakfast on the terrace was good, but the loud knocks on the door each morning to wake us up were a bit much, especially after celebrating late into the night.

The inviting pool area was great for cooling off after a walk, though the main pool wasn't heated. I enjoyed the small terrace where I could unwind after a long day.

I recently stayed at Alexander Villas, and while the stunning views of the caldera were lovely, there were a few challenges. The cleanliness of the room left much to be desired, with issues like a dirty bathroom and unkempt facilities. Additionally, the lack of consistent service made for a less than pleasant experience, but I did enjoy the unique cave room and the cozy atmosphere.

My stay at Alexander Villas was a mixed bag. The stunning caldera views from my private balcony were lovely, but the room itself felt outdated and had some cleanliness issues. While I appreciated the breakfast delivery to my room, I faced some frustrations with the service and constant Wi-Fi issues. Overall, the views make it special, but the accommodation could use some improvements. 🌅
