The Vasilicos

Where to begin?!? As we were leaving Mykonos, I received a call from Fiorela and said that I didn't respond to her emails. She wanted to know if she needs to arrange a pick up from airport or the port. She arranged it for me and it was great. I decided to look for her email and found it in my spam list. In the email, they ask your arrival info, if transportation is needed, what kind of pillows you prefer (since I didn't respond, they went ahead and gave us pillows for head and neck support and one that is fluffy - which was perfect to begin with), what room temperature you prefer, if you would like a bottle of champagne or a nice flower arrangement (take note honeymooners). I immediately responded with our choices and Fiorela responded back. I knew right away that I will like this place. We arrived finally to The Vasilicos and we were blown away by the views. We stayed at the Vasilicos suites (they only have 7 suites so consider yourself lucky if you are able to book one here!. We have the perfect view of the Caldera, we have the right sized plunge pool and just down below us is the common swimming pool which is also beautiful and have the view of the Caldera. We arrived around 8pm (I wish we took the earlier boat from Mykonos) but Fiorela arranged for us to have dinner at our private terrace. The food that Chef Yannis prepared is perfect (please be sure to try the octopus!) Breakfast is served at a time that we chose - pretty much you can get whatever you want as long as the kitchen has it (that's what Adi always said to me as he asked what kind of coffee, how the eggs are made, if we want more cheese, fruits, bread, French toast, etc. Every morning, there will be a special dish that the kitchen prepares. I could have just stayed in the hotel the whole time we were there. Thank you to the V team - from Fiorela, to Adi, Gina and Cyrill, Pavlos, Yannis, Artemis, Anthony (sorry if I missed anyone)! You made my 50TH birthday super special!

The only thing that would have been better is if we stayed a couple more days. The hotel is in Imerovigli, close to Fira and Oia. No need to go to super crowded Oia for the sunset views! We also did the 5 course wine pairing dinner and it was marvelous! Artemis picked the perfect wine for all the food they served. I'm supposed to write here what I didn't like but there is really none. They even surprised me the morning of my birthday with a cake and balloons and birthday song from the whole staff. Thanks so much! This hotel is special and so are the people that works there. We were very sad when we left.

Amazing staff, views and breakfast!

The hotel has a fantastic location, the best we've seen on this part of the island. Our room, suite efta, was at the bottom of the hotel and felt very romantic & isolated. Large room, very clean, great amenities, we loved the toiletries. The plunge pool was great. Breakfast was brought to the room every morning and with what we would request the day before. The staff would offer ice cream on hot days and they were very helpful with all reservations we requested. They even packed some breakfast for us as we left early on our last day. Definitely recommended - it's the perfect location and the staff, facilities and breakfast were excellent!

I would have liked to see more of the Greek hospitality during our stay, for example water & cutlery wasn't brought in the room every morning but everyone did their best and they gave us an unforgettable stay :)

Amazing staff, stylish rooms and environment. Great attention to detail in every element.

A little gym would have made it even better.

The staff were fantastic. Every one of them. The view was intoxicating. Loved our room and the pool directly in front of it. Breakfast on our patio. Wine tasting with various meze was delicious. The details were luxurious. And it was very quiet. The most romantic place we’ve ever stayed.

The breakfast was excellent, served at our private terrace with a view on the Caldera. Eggs were made on demand and the chef additionally prepared a different dish of the day that was served along with a full continental breakfast.

Everything was perfect.
