Okay, so we’ve been fortunate to have visited some really special places in our 26 years of marriage, but we think we just discovered a new best. Oia is magical in its own right, but By The Mill is unbelievably great in the midst of it all. It is spotlessly clean, super private, beautiful inside and out, and has as good a view of the sunset as there is to be had…anywhere! Unlike the majority of the villas we saw, this one has vast and beautiful outdoor spaces to sun, relax, read, etc. - 3 levels worth, in fact! The pool can be set for cool or warm, and the kind gentleman who comes daily to clean it can assist with setting it to your perfect temperature (he also makes a mean old-fashioned at Meteor at night). Judy and Theo could not be nicer, and their recommendations are reliable. George, our recommended driver, is one of the nicest, most humble people you’ll ever meet. Beds/linens are good, water pressure is good, and the views are better than the ones hundreds of people scurry to locate somewhere every evening. With all the beautiful villas and hotels in Santorini, we cannot imagine coming back here and not staying at By The Mill. It’s that good! No kidding…
