White & Co Exclusive Island Villas

From the moment we arrived in Pyrgos we were made to feel so welcome. The suite was amazing and had the most spectacular views. The suite itself was immaculately clean and the complimentary fruit and wine on arrival were very welcome after a long flight. Genti was a fantastic host and nothing was too much trouble and his knowledge of the the island and all that it had to offer was extremely helpful. He arranged details for our Catamaran cruise along with restaurant bookings and taxi transfers. He was an absolute star and made our stay in Pyrgos all the more enjoyable. Breakfast was fabulous and was served on our terrace every morning with views across the Caledra. Pyrgos itself is a beautiful village with it's whitewashed buildings, blue domed church, Castle and with an array of fantastic restaurants. You were able to enjoy the sunset without having to navigate your way through the crowds as you would do in Oia and Fira. A special mention too for Nezi who worked tirelessly to make sure we had everything that we needed and that our suite was cleaned to the highest of standards each day. Thank you again for everything. We had the most amazing time!

Stayed at White & Co. La Torre Suites in Pyrgos, Santorini on 7-14 June. Booked it looking for privacy and peace and did not find either in this hotel. Upon my arrival the reception boy asked me if I had a strong heart and gave me emergency number in case something happens. Entire first night someone was hitting the wall, waking me up in the middle of the night, then in the morning there was non-stop loud drilling from 8am until afternoon, and the doors were being slammed every few minutes. In the morning the receptionist came and recommended cafe 'Joy' that takes only cash. During the second night there were aggressive motor bike riders, who drove back and forth near the hotel trying to make as much noise as possible, and then at night there was very loud noise inside of the hotel, as if something exploded. A person with a weaker heart would have definitely be affected by all this. All this was very unusual, but finding another place to stay last minute in Santorini in June was too difficult, so I stayed and documented all disturbances and tried my best to keep interactions with staff of the hotel to bare minimum. On third night electricity suddenly went on in the middle of the night. On top of that, there were men from nearby hotel who kept walking past my terrace entire day, starring at me and trying to interact with me. The staff has no respect for women either. I told them at least 3 times that I don't need help with my suitcase. Despite that, during the check-out they tried to forcefully take my suitcase from me.

On top of that, there were old men and a black worker from nearby hotel who kept walking past my terrace entire day, starring at me and trying to interact with me.

By the way, the noise from the hotel and motorbikes never stopped. Every night and early morning someone was repeatedly aggressively slamming and hitting something, and couple of loud motorbikes kept driving back and forth around the hotel entire time.

On third night electricity suddenly went on in the middle of the night. On top of that, there were men who kept walking past my terrace entire day and starring at me. One old guy came up to my terrace at midnight, starred for a prolonged period of time at me, waving and smiling, despite me making clear that his attention was unwanted. He and a black guy came back the next morning and kept starring at me and tried to interact with me as I was having breakfast. The staff has no respect for women either. I told them at least 3 times that I don't need help with my suitcase. Despite that, during the check-out they tried to forcefully take my suitcase from me. I arrived with best intentions, ready to spend money on their spa service, boats and shopping, but because of what happened I did not feel like doing any of it. Next time when they decide to stress a client and deprive a customer of sleep, they should remember that they are also depriving their community of easy income, thousands of euros that a rested and relaxed customer like me would have spent. Apart from this awful hotel, I had a great time at Santorini, so what happened will not affect my opinion about the island, but I definitely not recommend this hotel to any solo female traveler.

White & Co. Exclusive Island Villas is a great place to stay in every respect and we can recommend it without reservation. The reception team was really great - super friendly and they did everything to make us feel comfortable. Thanks to you !!! On arrival a plate of fruit and a bottle of wine, the vacation starts very well. The excellent breakfast, which was served every morning after evening pre-order on the terrace, was also just excellent. The accommodation itself had all the comforts, a great bathroom and a large terrace with Jaccuci. The view was a dream (Villa 104) - the sea, Pyrgos, the landscape around - we were really very impressed. Since our return flight started in the evening, we were given the opportunity to store the suitcases and shower in a separate room - a great service. Overall, a perfect stay and it is worth the money.

This was our 2nd visit to White & Company and they did not disappoint, if anything it was even better, if that is possible. We stayed for 4 nights and loved our villa with a separate bedroom and spacious pool with patio . Always super clean and the small kitchen was perfect for having a snack while relaxing by the private pool. Teo was a great host and left us a bottle of wine and snacks on arrival. Santorini is busy, as everyone would say, so coming back after a short drive to Pygros each day was a way of relief from the crowds. The made to order breakfast was delivered to our villa which we were able to enjoy on our patio each morning. Take a visit for sundowners to Franco's Cafe, at the top of the hill behind White & Company, a short walk, you will not be disappointed, it is stunning!!!!! Highly Recommend! Thank you, Katerina & Teo & staff!!!
