This Airbnb was absolutely STUNNING, at the top of the hill you have the most breathtaking view which you can see the sunset perfectly without the crowds surrounding you. You can see the sunset from the private pool of this Airbnb which is literally the most highest point of Imerovigli. You are about a 40 minute walk along the cobble stone pathway which goes through Imerovigli along the mountain through to Firostefani and goes all the way to Fira. Being out of the crowds was amazing, taking a scooter we were only 6minutes away from the main town of Fira. The hospitality was above and beyond expectations, I highly reccomend organising a transfer - as finding this place on your own can be a little difficult as it’s tucked away on the edge of the mountain. We paid 15 euro each for a shared transfer that picked us up from the airport and took us straight there to where a hotel worker carried our luggage literally on his shoulder and walked us through the narrow pathways to the beautiful hotel. On check in we were given a beautiful local liquor along with a fresh glass of water and was given SO much information about the Island and recommendations on where to go and explore and eat! Which for us was definitely amazing, so we could plan our 3 days in Santorini to the full. The two best restaurants that we LOVED were Dimitris Tavern Ammoudi Bay , which the hotel recommended and booked for us. The food and location was amazing. We also loved the restaurant Aktaoin which you find in Firostefani right on the edge of the mountain / town and you can watch the Sunset as you have a beautifully cooked green traditional meal. The hotel reception organised everything for us, even our scooter (which took them quite a few phones calls to find for us, as the island was so busy) but managed to find one and to have it delivered to us. We didn’t even need to drop it off on departure, we just left the keys there with reception and took our transfer back to the airport. I recommend booking your transport from airport and also your transport for the island before arriving as it gets super busy.
Loved everything here, everyone was so nice and friendly and just treated us like kings and queens !! We ended up upgrading to a villa suite with a plunge pool for our last night and they even made the water warmer for me for my late night swim!
But to be honest ANY room you stay in at this hotel will be amazing because of the beautiful location it is in and the amazing staff.
Thanks again for having us. We made memories that will last forever!!
