Every now and then a guesthouse earns its place on a shortlist by simply doing the basics very well, Villa Livadaros, in Santorini, is one of those. Geographically speaking it's barely a stroll from the centre of Santorini, and the strong location rating in guest reviews backs that up. Rooms feel modest; the touches travellers mention most are reliable wi-fi and on-site parking, and the comfort feedback has been uneven. The numbers behind the reviews tell their own story, around 420 reviews, scoring strong on balance. Reputation has held up across enough stays to mean something. Expect to pay something in the region of €65 a night, a strong-value entry on the board, especially when stacked against nearby alternatives. All told, Villa Livadaros reads as one of those Santorini addresses worth lining up against the obvious choices before booking.
