From the minute that I booked this Villa Nicoletta went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Nicoletta was extremely prompt and helpful in answering questions and arranging our arrival and activities throughout our stay. On arrival we were met by Nicoletta's daughters Christina and Alexandra to arrange our luggage to be taken by donkeys and show us the way to the villa. Again their ability to make us feel welcome and orientate us with the villa and area was exceptional from the beginning and throughout our stay. The villa was gorgeous and I can not say enough about the location. It was perfect for our family holiday and the perfect space to just relax by the waters edge. It really felt like we had Armeni Bay to ourselves along with a few very friendly locals that we got to know which made our stay that even more special. The water is gorgeous and it was fabulous being able to kayak (provided with the house) around the area. Amoudi Bay which was just around the corner was also a highlight Captain John ( a very prominent Armeni Bay figure) was arranged by Alexandra to take us there by his traditional fishing boat - the best way to arrive to such a idyllic location where we had a fabulous seafood lunch. All restaurant recommendations made by the household were spectacular and we enjoyed every meal. The stairs up to Oia was also certainly worth the effort and was a great form of exercise, such a stunning town with many many unforgettable views. We loved exploring the town however also enjoyed staying at the house, it accommodated us perfectly ( 6 adults and 2 year old ). We sat out on the balcony for hours and watched the sea world go by. The bedrooms were very comfortable and the kitchen was very well appointed. Shopping was delivered by donkey so we could do a large shop and cook fabulous local cuisine that we enjoyed at the house. We also celebrated my Fathers 70th which Nicoletta and girls were instrumental in planning a special event. A chef and musician was arranged which made for a special meal and a night that we will never forget. I can not speak highly enough of Nicoletta, Christina and Alexandra as hosts, the house was fantastic and the location was phenomenal. My family had the most amazing stay and we would certainly stay again. I highly recommend for those that are capable of the stairs you will not be disappointed.
