Leaving!

We had the most wonderful stay in the Lioyerma Windmill, where we had amazing views of the wonderful Oia sunset from the privacy of our private terrace. Manos and his team were kind and generous hosts and took care of our every need. Manos arranged our transfers and was waiting to welcome us and show us around, even though we arrived very late at night. Nothing was too much trouble and Manos was always checking that we had everything we needed for a perfect stay. When we weren't lounging in our private hot tub, our favourite place to be was at the wonderful pool bar, which was super fun and our lovely and super attentive hosts brought us delicious cocktails to the pool side. Our 6 year old says it is one of the best places he's ever been! We agree and will definitely stay longer on our next visit. Thank you so much xx

Just understand it’s a windmill and getting up and down between rooms is not easy. Also be aware that everyone wants a picture of your digs. It’s as close to feeling like being under the eye of the paparazzi as I will ever get.

Amazing location and view. Host was very attentive to all of our needs and even pre-made breakfast on our last morning to accommodate an early flight. Sat in the hot tub and watched the sunset with a glass of wine - magical.

The Wi-Fi was hard to connect to. There were a lot of bugs in the private pool, which was disappointing as I was looking forward to it. This only happens on hot days.

Manos was very kind. I was very satisfied with the unique experience of staying at a windmill. The location was also good, as I could walk around Oia in no time.

Everything from start to finish was excellent

Manos kept in communication. He welcomed us to the property and made us feel so welcome. The breakfast was excellent and the views outstanding. The property exceeded our expectations. Fabulous!!!

Small space.

Good breakfast, excellent location.

Quirky little place to stay,with excellent views of the castle and the sunset. Comfortable facilities with plenty of space outside to sit, relax and enjoy the ambiance of Oia. Manos was attentive, and nothing was too much, from organising the taxi to collect us,recommending places to eat and organising breakfast etc. If you are looking for somewhere special to stay in Oia that what’s better than the windmill,that is an iconic feature along with the blue domes. Would love to visit again someday.

Manos was an amazing host with hospitality that exceeded our expectations. We stayed three nights with our two kids (aged 5 and 8) and it was the perfect adventure. The location, view and hot tub are incredible - highly recommend

Again, not 5 star luxury resort. But what it may have "lacked" it made up exponentially in how incredible the entire experience was. I mean...it still had AC, though not needed with the cool ocean breezes.

Manos went above and BEYOND to make sure our stay was amazing. Having our own private balcony to watch the sunset was exactly why we booked here. While this is not a "5 star luxury resort" It is absolutely one of the most unique and coolest places to stay on the entire island. You are staying in a 200+ yr old windmill that everyone is stopping to take photos of. Breakfast was fabulous. Manos offered so many incredible suggestions. Did I mention the sunset was AMAZING! Didn't have to fight to find a place to park or stand and wait. Sat there with a bottle of wine on our own private balcony and took it all in.

The bed is very firm. For anyone with balance or mobility issues, this would be a very difficult stay due to the narrow and steep stairs.  But again, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity and it’s an “experience” stay. 

What an experience!! Being able to stay in a 200-year-old windmill is a once in a lifetime opportunity.  it has beautiful views, and is perfectly located with two outdoor seating areas to view the sunsets. Manos was very attentive and helpful. We appreciated him arranging for our transport from the airport.

WiFi reception keeps dropping out particularly on the bottom floor.

once in a lifetime opportunity to stay in a windmill! excellent location in Oia, unobstructed views of the sunset and caldera. Manos is a fantastic host who checks on you several times a day, reserves pool chairs etc.

Bed was a little firm, slight drain smell from the bathroom

Amazing location. A memorable & unique property. Manos was an attentive and caring host. The accommodation was clean and the facilities as described.

The firmness of the beds was not to our personal preference. I understand that different individuals have varying preferences when it comes to mattress firmness, but a slightly softer option, especially in the Sofa bed on the lower floor, could enhance the overall comfort level for guests and especially

The location of the accommodation was outstanding, offering breathtaking views of the surroundings. One of the highlights of our stay was the breakfast service, which was conveniently delivered right to my room. It was a delightful way to start the day, enjoying a delicious meal while taking in the stunning scenery. As a guest at the property, I also appreciated the great service provided at the pool area, including reserved sun loungers. The staff were attentive and went above and beyond to ensure that guests had a relaxing and enjoyable time. Of course, one of the absolute highlights of staying at Lioyerma Windmill Villa & Pool was the phenomenal view of the famous sunset. It truly exceeded all expectations and left a lasting impression.

The location is very beautiful, perfect spot to see the sunset, and the staff was very attentive.

Cramped space just due to the size of the windmill. Bottom floor bed is very firm with no headboard and only one pillow each.

Loved the concept of staying in a windmill and the location and host were amazing!! Manos the host was a great communicator and the private terrace for watching the sunset and the lovely breakfast were fantastic.

Nothing. We had read the reviews so we knew the stairs were tight and steep to the three floors.

Unique and quirky and the swimming pool was spacious with plenty of beds.

Stayed in June 2023

The bed was extra extra firm.

The view from the windmill was absolutely incredible! Our host Manos could not have been more friendly and accommodating, he and his brother were just fantastic! The only thing that we did not like, was the very very firm bed. One word to the wise, the stairs in the windmill are very steep down to the bottom level, more like a ladder.

All was great!

Perfect place, very helpful owner, made us feel special! Will be back here 100%!!! Amazing!

Great location, Manos was an excellent host!

My mum had an accident whilst going down the stairs and felt way too claustrophobic to stay for the night so we decided not to stay and only had breakfast the next day. I would not recommend this place to anyone who has mobility issues or is a bit bigger. Mind you, my mom never gets claustrophobic but because of the accident we did not feel it was safe enough to stay there.

Breakfast was amazing , the view was great however it was very windy when we went. swimming pool was good but it was too cold to use it in April.
