This place is an absolute jewel! Beautiful views, quiet (away from the crowds), thick sound proof walls, very clean, excellent air conditioning and good WiFi throughout, well equipped large kitchen, spacious bedrooms with very comfortable mattresses and plenty of storage, nice bathrooms, private balcony, nice size infinity pool, plenty of parking, daily maid service (cleans all rooms and provides fresh towels), and the best hospitality you can ask for.
We were a family of five with three teenagers. We spent nine nights, three days were spent attending my friend's wedding events. You must rent a car to get around. This is the perfect place to return after visiting the touristy areas of the island. I cannot say enough about the quick correspondence and hospitality from Margarita, Theodosia, and their parents, who also live on the complex. Margarita was quick to respond to our emails leading up to the visit, and Theodosia welcomed us and gave us a great run-down of places to visit and eat, along with her phone number and email should we needed to contact her... which we did.
About the place:
Bottom level: My wife and I stayed on this level. It has a large bedroom with two singles pushed together and very large storage closet. Large bathroom with shower stall - great water pressure. Kitchen is nice and spacious, can seat at least six adults comfortably, and is equipped with everything you need: good size refrigerator, stove, microwave, and drip coffee maker (coffee and sugar supplied), plenty of plates, glasses, coffee mugs, utensils and cooking equipment. There is an entrance to the pool area from this level.
Middle level: Large queen bedroom with large storage closet and location of small safe. Second smaller bathroom with open shower (no stall). Large family room with flat screen TV, and entrance to the private 2nd level balcony. Balcony has a table and chairs and drying rack for towels and bathing suites. Views are awesome! Great place to have your morning coffee and listen to the natural sounds of the islands… and evening glass of wine to watch the beautiful sunset.
Top level: Location where my two son's slept. It has two single beds and a large sofa chair. Like the other bedrooms, family room, and kitchen, it had its own air conditioning unit. No storage closet, but enough room for suitcases.
Other Notes:
Transportation: Margarita and Theodosia coordinated our transfer from the airport to the villa, and back to the airport (30 Euros each way). They also coordinated our rental vehicle, which we picked-up and dropped-off at the villa - very convenient.
Take-Out Food Delivery: You'll be provided with menus from local establishments that also deliver (breakfast, lunch, and dinner). We took advantage of this our last night when we turned-in our rental. We highly recommend Mythos Grill.
Food: Drip coffee and sugar are provided by the villa. We stocked-up on waters and some basic foods from one of the food stores recommended by Theodosia.
Clothes cleaning: There are establishments where you can drop off and have your clothes cleaned and folded. Some can do it within a few hours. We dropped ours off in the late afternoon and picked them up the following day. Expect to spend about 20 Euros per large load - well worth it.
If we come back to Santorini, we will definitely stay here again! Apart from being the perfect villa, the hosts Margarita and Theodosia were very trusting, caring and hospitable.
