Here you will find everything: larger supermarkets, restaurants, cafes (including internet cafes), boutiques, jewellery shops, museums, and also fitness studios. Fira has a very intensive nightlife with discos and elegant bars which are open almost the whole night (until the sunrise). Some of these continue to be open in the winter season, especially at weekends.

Fantastic location! Very short walk to amazing restaurants!! View of balcony is to die for!! Host/owner Briga is wonderful. She is extremely thoughtful and does everything to support you having a splendid stay. She makes it feel like you’re in your home away from home!! Quiet location as well. Would highly recommend coming to Santorini and staying at one of Briga’s units!!
Briga villas was a wonderful choice. The view of the crater is exactly as shown - just beautiful. Firostefani is a great location, near the major town of Fira, but less crowded. Great choices for restaurants. The unit was very clean and nicely outfitted. Brigitta was an excellent host who made us feel very welcome. The airport transfer and check in arrangements were smooth. If we are lucky enough to return to Santorini we would definitely stay here and wholeheartedly recommend Briga villas.

Gem of a property
This villa was perfect for the two of us. The cave dwelling was clean and functional. The patio view was classic Santorini where we enjoyed a world class panoramic view day & night. Brigetta was a wonderful host and made our stay most enjoyable. We recommend this property 100%.
This darling little studio apt had stunning views and an amazing location, close to restaurants, shops and activities like hiking. The owners were very helpful and supportive during my stay, ensured I got the low down on local amenities and eateries as well as arranged for transport back to the airport and someone to help me haul my heavy luggage. Very pleasant and enjoyable stay and the communication was always timely and helpful Feeling very full and very blessed.
My cousin and I recently stayed at Brigitta's, where we stayed for around 6 nights. We were amazed by the wonderful views, the perfect room, and Brigitta herself. Prior to our vacation, we knew little about 'the best areas' to stay, but can safely say that we chose the perfect spot - 'Thira'. With less than a 2 minute walk to local restaurants, we found that Brigitta's place was a perfect location with a minimal amount of tourist. Brigitta was amazing as well, she was so welcoming and even allowed us to check in a bit early and leave a few hours later (because of our flight times) which helped us out greatly. I could not recommend this place more and hope to be back!!

wonderful stay in traditional Santorini Cave House
Our stay at BrigaVillas in September 2018 was terrific. The space was adorable and unique. The owner was onsite while we were there and was extremely helpful and kind. Sunset views from the terrace are world class! While we were there it was extremely hot so living quarters get a little warm to sleep. Careful fan placement is helpful but the pros certainly outweigh that minor incovenience. Would highly recommend BrigaVillas, it is a once in a lifetime experience!

Caldera view, but far from the madding crowd.
Brigitta, our hostess, came to meet us on the road and guide us along the narrow walkways to Briga Villas. There are the classic views of the caldera and the cruise ships far below. No need to go anywhere else for a sunset view. Our one bedroom studio is cool, cavernous, comfortable and well furnished, with everything we need. Public parking is located nearby and a hire car is sensible if one wants to see parts of the island not on the main bus routes, for example Akrotiri and Ancient Thira. Brigitta was happy to help us with arrangements for a hire car and our other requests. The centre of Thira is within walking distance, with shops, restaurants and museums, but far enough away for our accommodation to be quiet and peaceful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay: conversations with Brigitta and Leon were always entertaining.

Santorini Sweetie!!!
Wow, wow, wow. We stayed in Studio 2 and adored the location with its private terrace and caldera views. Perfectly situated with a lovely, local feel and several good restaurants close by yet only a leisurely 20 minute walk along the clifftop to Fira for more extensive shopping and dining options. Studio 2 is perfect for solo travellers and loved-up couples. The compact kitchen allows you to prepare simple meals although we did supply our own tea and coffee. If you have a lot of luggage or a heavy suitcase you might want to arrange for a porter to assist you reach the Studio. Brigitta was very easy to deal with in the lead up to our arrival and checked in on us by telephone twice. Our time on Santorini was very special and I look forward to our return visit. Thank you Brigitta!!

Best place to stay in Santorini!!!
Best place to stay in Santorini!!! We stayed one week at Brigitta’s gorgeous cave house and had the best time! Brigitta is a wonderful owner and hostess- she is very quick to respond to e-mails (even though it’s a 10 hour time difference for us), she welcomed us into her home when we arrived, and we enjoyed chatting with her daily throughout our stay. The house is exactly as pictured on the website- a traditional cave house that is gorgeous inside and out. And the view from the balcony – WOW!!! The balcony is the perfect place to relax for the day, or in the evening with a bottle of wine to enjoy the sunset : ) The location of the house in Firostefani is perfect too- a very close walk to lots of great restaurants, but not too close to the busy, relatively touristy area of Fira near the old port. (It’s about a 5- 10 minute walk from the old port). This is the perfect place for a couple to spend a holiday relaxing and exploring Santorini. We loved our stay at Brigitta’s home, and would definitely stay here again if we return to Santorini! Thanks for a wonderful stay Brigitta!!! : )

Your Holiday of a Lifetime Starts HERE!!
This is a MUST to be on your bucket list! Stay here and experience the true beauty of Santorini. We stayed with Briga for six evenings! Spectacular views! No need to go to Oia for the sunset, easy access to great restaurants. Far enough away from Fira that you get few tourists from the cruise lines. Local restaurants include Simone's and "Why Not Gyro?" - (grab a gyro and a bottle of wine and then walk three minutes back to the Villa to watch the sunset!!! The entire place is well maintained and simply immaculate!! We stayed in the house, fully stocked kitchen that we never needed to use, large living space, the outside dining glass room is amazing, the bedroom is spacious. Briga herself is a wonderful good hearted woman. She was responsive, welcoming and extremely helpful. We are a couple from the US in our 50's and were made to feel welcomed as special guests and family members. We are quite meticulous and simply could not find a fault with Briga Villas, Fiorstefani and Briga. This is my first ever review, we can't say more than.......This is a MUST stay!!!
The studio apartment we rented offers a stunning view from the sun-drenched patio it shares with the main unit. It is located steps off the very busy main pathway, which makes it a quiet yet convenient retreat. There are excellent restaurants nearby, and it is a 10-minute scenic stroll to Fira, which is the crowded action-packed capital. The unit is a traditional white cave dwelling without windows or A/C, but a tower fan and new louvered front door kept us comfortable in September. The queen mattress was comfortably supportive. We did not cook on the hot plate because we ate out, but the mini-fridge was convenient. (Tip: the afternoons were hot. If we had stayed longer we would have gone to the small hotel up the hill and ordered drinks from their poolside bar, and maybe they would have let us dip in their pool? The Greeks are very generous.) Watching the sunset over a glass of wine with the owner Brigitta, who was in residence, was a highlight of our stay, as she is charming. This was a dream vacation and this was the perfect place for the perfect price!
We had a wonderful 5 day stay at Brigette’s villa.
The location was perfect and Brigitte arranged for a pick up at the ferry and met us at the steps of her neighbourhood. She is a lovely host and we enjoyed the shared deck with her and Leon. I would definitely s recommend her spot in Santorini!
Staying at Brigga Suites was such a delightful experience for many reasons.; the host Brigga felt like an old friend who warmly welcomed us and gave us local suggestions for restaurants and beaches. The setting overlooking the Caldera is absolutely breathtaking and the location is very convenient and accessible to the Ancient Thera Museum, Fira, the hike to Oia and many other Santorini activities. If you want an authentic Santorini experience, with a sweet, cool host, then this is the place for you.
Die Unterkunft ist perfekt gelegen. Fira bietet alles was das Herz begehrt und ist trotzdem nicht (wie Oia) von Touristen überlaufen. Ausserdem bietet die Unterkunft den schönsten Ausblick auf den atemberaubenden Sonnenuntergang. Ferien-Feeling pur! Auch die Anbieterin Birgitta ist eine unglaublich sympathische und zuverlässige Persönlichkeit. Wir waren sehr zufrienden dort! Tipp: Es lohnt sich ein Fahrzeug (Roller) zu mieten, um an die Strände zu gelangen.
The place was the perfect place to stay during our time on the island. The place is exactly as listed - cosy and in a great neighbourhood! Brigitta was so lovely and we enjoyed an evening watching the sunset with a bottle of wine with her on our first night. Bonus tip: the staff at the villas up the road with the pool are very nice, we bought a couple of drinks and they let us enjoy the pool a couple of afternoons on a hot day!
A lovely place to stay in an excellent location with great hosts!
My boyfriend and I spent 5 nights in the studio and loved every minute of it. The night we got in, I sent the wrong arrival time for our flight so Brigitta stayed up late to receive us and get us checked in. With any question we had, we either asked Brigitta or got a quick response from Markus. It was a pleasure to stay here and we’d love to return again!
Just brilliant. Exactly what you’d expect Santorini to look like. Excellent location and so relaxing. Great price. Great communication. Easy check in and pictures are exactly what it is!
