The house is a work of art and beautiful. It is quite a distance from the actual water but the views are beautiful. The house was in a perfect location for us. Quiet and peaceful and yet close to everything we wanted to do. You can enjoy the busier parts of Santorini and then leave them to come back to this tranquil location. The beds were hard for us but that is typical for this part of the world and mostly just very different than the American standard. Beatrice is a wonderful host and quickly responsive to any needs you have.
