Great communication during the booking process and then a very warm welcome from Apostolos, even when I arrived on a late evening, delayed flight from London. He was so ready to help with local knowledge, booking us onto a wine tour and advising on other local activities. The house itself is just lovely. Spotlessly clean and with everything you need, it's also really modern/stylish, furnished with elegant pieces and cleverly designed to be entirely in keeping with the old style of the castelli buildings. The location was perfect for exploring all of the island and, for me, it was lovely to be out of the busier tourist towns of Thira and Oia. The house is rather like a little hidden cave in the old part of the town of Emporio. it has masses of character and is a wonderful place to hide away from the world when on holiday. We were there for a fortnight and there was a regular cleaner, who visited three times during our stay. The house really does look exactly like in the pictures - modern, but characterful and absolutely spotlessly clean. I wouldn't hesitate to return. My one piece of advice for future visitors would be that the location works best if you have a rental car and enjoy being away from the busier tourist towns. For me, it was heaven sent! Lots of thoughtful little touches, too, such as candles in all the rooms and bottles of water in the fridge on arrival. I couldn't recommend the house and Apostolos highly enough.
