Vedema, A luxury Collection Resort, Santorini

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Vedema! We are sadly leaving today. The staff was outstanding and made our trip so relaxing as they took care of every detail. We stayed in the🔺 delta room, Angelina Jolie’s previous suite. Our private jacuzzi was perfect and the staff warmed it up to the perfect temp for us when we asked. The resort is secluded up in a lovely town with some restaurants right next door. The hotel shuttle takes you to the busy town of Fira for other great places to eat and shop and see the sunset. We also went to the beach club and enjoyed their amenities for the day and swam in the sea - really nice to have that option included! We rented a car for the day which we highly recommend! A little frightening on some of the roads but overall was a great adventure! We did a catamaran tour with sunset oia - highly recommended. They pick you up and drop you off from the hotel and take you to the red beach, white beach, volcano and hot springs, and for the fabulous sunset in Oia. At the resort - we highly recommend the wine tasting down in the 400 year old winery cave - Maria was fabulous! Also the breakfast buffet was tremendous every morning - full spread and also crepes and omelets made specially for you! Niki - at breakfast and lunch every day - made our meals spectacular with her recommendations and attentiveness. The front desk team were also wonderful! Thank you very much to all the staff at Vedema! We will be back!

Can't recommend this wonderful resort enough. The wonderful warm and sweet people made our stay extraordinary. We stayed in an Athenian suite, which was very spacious and had beautiful views. Each day the staff left us a thoughtful bite and a glass of vine. Breakfast is great, with many healthy options. We loved the location: the village is quaint, has a few restaurants and boutiques, and is a great base for exploring the island.

Just finishing up a 4 day stay here at the Vedema. Stayed in Z5 unit. Can't say enough good things about the resort. First of all, just came from Athens and needed some peace and quiet to unwind. Could not have picked a better place. Traveled many places throughout Europe where rooms are crammed and you are tripping over your suitcases and bags for several days. Not here. Spacious suites with comfortable sitting area inside and out. Now I'm not very good with names, but i can tell you everyone here has been so nice and welcoming. Good buffet breakfast every morning with many options. Had an omelette two of the mornings which are made to your specification. VIP drink gathering by the pool was great as we met other couples and had drinks on the house. Cobblestoned streets with minimal traffic make walking to dinner a pleasure. Lots of good restaurants to choose from in the area. Can't wait to come back. Thanks Vedema for a wonderful stay.

We were pretty excited about coming to this resort in that Our travel agent spoke so highly. The resort is lovely in the way that it incorporated the old and new into its complex. For example the restaurant is located in a 400 year old wine cavern which offered a rooftop seating area. ( the restaurant was terrific) our room left a bit to be desired, while clean it was dark & could use some updating. The outdoor Jacuzzi was disappointing and the lounges were dingy. The bathroom amenities such as shampoo etc. on our arrival were half used, as if the maids didn't see fit to put new bottles in after previous guests left. I expected more from a Luxury Collection Resort. This resort paled by comparison to our Mykonos Resort which cost less for more days. The Staff were for the most part helpful and friendly and they went out of their way to be accommodating. We did enjoy our stay but it in the end we came away with mixed feelings there were parts i Loved and parts that left much to be desired. Unfortunately the good did not outweigh those mixed feelings to make us want to rush back yo this resort

The resort itself is beautiful with a mix of the Santorini style that you would expect, volcanic rock walkways and walls that give a totally difference experience when walking to their restaurant or wine tasting room (which are both more of an experience than a delicious meal as the ambiance and decor is so well done), but also the fact that they kept structures, floors, and the feel of the winery that was here originally. BUT the resort itself wasn't even the most impressive part of our visit. My now wife of 13 days and I felt like VIPs. Everything from the high level of customer service, a concierge that was more of a travel consultant knowing all of the best restaurants, activities, and logistics. The people that work here is who I was most impressed with and made our stay something that we will remember for the rest of our lives. Some reviews have said that this is "off the beaten path" and I agree. You don't have to deal with the loud mopeds and buses driving by all night, you have great restaurants, a great bakery, wine bar with live music and some local shops. Plus they have a shuttle bus to take you to the beach or right into Fira. Well done Vendema. Mr. & Mrs. M
