What can I say?! This place...!!!
It really is a hidden gem in paradise!
I chose this place as I was doing some workshops in Athens & I wanted a week of relaxation before heading home. I couldn't get booked in for the whole week, so I spent a few days in a hotel before Hector's Nest. There was no comparison - Giannis puts on a service that is like a 7 star hotel. He had a mobile phone that I could call him 24/7 if I had any problems, even though he was in Athens he made sure that everything was there that I needed & I felt quite safe. Dana & Demitri took really good care of me & the place.
The view over the Caldera is incredible & the balcony is very private, even relaxing on the hammock was quite peaceful. There is a bit of noise with the scramble of people from the cruise ships trying to get a view of the sunset, but after the sun is down it was so peaceful. I got some really great nights sleep in the cave.
Photos don't really do it justice - inside the house is decorated in a minimal way to perfection. The shower has great pressure, the separate bathroom had plenty of space & shelves for all my stuff. The fridge was silent & was kept stocked with water for me & even a bottle of wine! I had even a coffee machine & utilities for breakfast - everything I needed. The wifi was really good - not that I used it much as I preferred to sit & look at the view!
I couldn't recommend this place & Giannis as a host enough - although I know that will mean it will be harder for me to get a booking the next time as he will be so busy - ha!! Oia really is a magical place - definitely one for the bucket list.
