Ilivatos was as pictured and we enjoyed our stay. The view could not be more beautiful! This villa is behind a door that protected us from the Santorini crowds, which were considerable. We learned to avoid leaving the villa at the time the cruise ships drop off their passengers. Athena is the manager and was attentive and business-like. (Unfortunately, the older reviews that refer to "Raymond serving breakfast and helping with luggage" are out of date. Current management claims not to have ever heard of Raymond!) That being said, we were comfortable at Ilivatos and recommend it for all but the elderly and the very young because of the steep steps both inside and outside the villa.
