We were met at the ferry dock right when we got off the boat. He was there with a sign with our name and loaded all five of us into a van. He gave us so many tips about the island and things to do. Great talk the whole way to the house. The house is like a resort. 9 units of various sizes with a fabulous view of the rock mountain. The swimming pool is clean and very refreshing. There is a washing machine and a bathroom beside the pool. The patios/ balconies overlook the pool and have great seating.
The house is fully stocked. Our place had two bathrooms ( full bathrooms). Air conditioning on both floors which was essential in August. It is Two blocks from the black sand beach. Many local restaurants on the way which we preferred over the ones on the beach. The garden restaurant is especially great!
At the beach you can get a lounge chair for the day for ordering a drink and/or some food. You need this as the sand gets very hot
Although this is on the opposite side of the island from the Fira, we preferred it. The bus is so easy to get to Fira and only a couple euros per person. If you want to rent a car or bike, there are many places down the road from the house. We found the bus just as convenient. Go to the busy part and have a nice dinner overlooking the caldera and them bus home to the nice quiet. Even have a swim before bed.
The BEST part of this place though are the ladies who work there. The house manager is so helpful and kind and the lady who brings a FULL breakfast to your room each morning is a breath of sunshine to start your day! These ladies made our vacation each day!
Fabulous resort! Great to stay on this side of the island. We went into Fira/Oia twice and it was so easy, but great to get back. And we could have drinks and not drive!
