About the host
Hosted by Perfect Retreats Limited
On The Rocks is a family-run property that has been welcoming guests to Ios since 2013. We manage a small collection of carefully maintained villas within our private hillside estate above Valmas Beach. What makes us different is our hands-on and personal approach. As an independent family business, we focus on creating a relaxed, comfortable experience with a high standard of hospitality and attention to detail. Many of our guests return year after year for the peaceful setting, privacy and warm atmosphere. We believe luxury is not only about beautiful spaces, but also about feeling genuinely looked after. From daily housekeeping and thoughtful welcome refreshments to local recommendations and assistance during your stay, our team is available when needed while always respecting your privacy. Guests can expect well-maintained villas, comfortable beds, quality amenities and a calm environment designed for rest and relaxation, while still being close to the beaches, restaurants and nightlife of Ios.
Why they chose this property
We have been spending our summers on Ios since 1988. What began as our family holiday home gradually grew into the small On The Rocks villas estate, where we now welcome guests from around the world.
We are a family-run business and manage the villas with genuine care, focusing on comfort, hospitality and respect for the local landscape and community.
Our goal is to provide a relaxed and memorable stay for you, your family and friends, while helping you experience the island we love so much
