We spent three wonderful nights at the Seahorse Villas. We could tell from the reviews that others had previously written that we would be pleased with the accommodations, and we were not disappointed! The unit we stayed in was beautiful, private, and the view (and evening sunsets) was spectacular! We could not believe how lucky we were to sit out on our private balcony every morning and have a beautiful breakfast delivered to us as we sat and enjoyed the incredible view.
The location of this villa cannot be beaten. It is located in Firostefani, so all you had to do was walk up a few stairs from the villa and you were on the main walkway which would lead you to either Fira in one direction or Imerovigli in the other direction (only a 10-15 minute walk in either direction). Even though we had the convenience of being so close to the main walkway, we did not hear any noise and our unit was extremely private.
Thousands of people flock to the caldera side of the island (Oia, Firostefani, Fira etc) every night to get a good seat in order to watch the sunset. We loved the fact that we could sit out on our private balcony with a glass of wine and enjoy the absolute best views of the sunset without having to drive anywhere or having to fight the crowds or make dinner reservations at the peak times. We are quite confident that there would be no better place to watch the sunset on the whole island. It was simply perfect!
Additionally, we wanted to say that all of the staff at the Seahorse Villas were excellent and very friendly. Chantal was extremely helpful and answered several questions that we asked before we travelled to Greece. We were picked up from the airport on the day of our arrival (and driven back on the day of our departure). This was such a nice touch and very much appreciated after a long day of travel!
Overall, we had an absolutely amazing time and we would highly recommend this accommodation. It exceeded our expectations in every way!
