Villa Dio is even better than we imagined - and our hopes were high. The photos are great, but in person even better because the patio is grander than most, the view breathtaking every time, the rooms and baths are cool modern within an old-world cave structure, the facilities are up to date and pristine. This is the kind of property rental we all want!
And Yani, he is the best host we've ever had. He is absolutely professional from his communication to his services. He takes the time to present the property and area to you. We felt well informed and adjusted from the first moment. His team of porters and cleaning crew are so good - we marveled at his porter who hauled our loaded bags up and down steps that are the glory and challenge of Santorini.
But here's the real demonstration of Yani's character, we had a mishap with our travel agent and no transfer to airport was arranged for our daughter. With 40 minutes until flight, Yani, who was only there to close up the property, dropped everything to personally race her to the airport, calling the airline on the way and as a result they held the plane 5 minutes enabling her and luggage to board. As she said "Yani saved the day."
We have travelled the world both upscale & down - our family of 4 (2 teens) agree this is our best accommodation to date.
Tips: --Arrange in advance with Yani if you want provisions (coffee etc). We purchased at mini market & wine store up steps to right.
--Washer/dryer enables a lighter pack.
