WONDERFUL experience!! We had the best experience exploring Santorini, and a big part of what made it so great was coming home to this lovely villa at the end of each day. On our first day, we were warmly greeted by Marilou, who not only showed us around the villa and explained things about the space, she also drew us a map of the Mesaria village area, provided many recommendations for restaurants, cafes, markets, scheduled our rental car (which was delivered right to the house), and scheduled our sunset sailboat cruise! Not to mention she was constantly available whenever we had questions. Marilou is the BEST!
The villa is spacious with many cozy touches which make it a very comfortable space. The kitchen is fully equipped. The bedrooms are both spacious and well appointed. The entire space is sparkling clean and so pleasant, with a terrace from each bedroom, and a lovely front porch and front yard. A parking space is available as well, if you rent a car (which I highly recommend).
There are a few restaurants and markets within walking distance (10 minutes) which is convenient. To get around the rest of the island, though, you'll need transportation (rent a car or ATV, or hire a taxi). Mesaria is conveniently located, right in the middle of the island. Oia and Fira are each approx 20-30 minutes away. Pyrgos is only about 10 minutes away and one of the island's best gems!
The sunset cruise (with Thalassa) was one of the highlights of the trip, which was also recommended by Marilou. If you have time, definitely do it!
It's a great villa and I highly recommend staying there!
