Review from my husband: To be honest, when my wife told me we were not staying at one of the bigger hotels in Oia, but instead at White Pearl Villas, I was a bit skeptical. Once again in my marriage, I was absolutely wrong and so very happy about it. From the second we got there, we were treated like VIPs by Maria and her staff. This is not just someone's house they rent out to make a few extra dollars. This is a legitimate villa and Maria and her staff know how to run it. In a place where there are tourists on top of tourists, this villa is the only place on the island with privacy. It had its on entrance (lockable ) and is recessed about 20 steps below from the door and main pathway. When you get to your villa, the view is everything you see when you google "santorini." The prized sunset occurs just to your right, and can be watched on your gigantic patio (more than 50 feet long) with 4 of your own private lounge chairs and jacuzzi. If we ever go back to Oia, I will plan my trip around the availability of this villa.
