This place has it all—centrally located, off the beaten path, and with ALL the character. Truly, the lovely pictures do not do it justice. The in-ground design of the house was charming but also practical, as we found we had no need for air conditioning in spite of the heat outside. The courtyard was the perfect place to sip wine, and I was thrilled to catch a perfect view of the sunrise the next morning. The layout is fully open (the only interior doors are on the bathrooms), so this is a space for traveling companions who are easy going. If you’re not, get there, because it’s the best way to enjoy this special place.
The house has easy access to (cheap) public bus lines. Take Georgios’s advice and have a meal at the local Cretan restaurant—every thing we tried there was excellent.
Finally, I must note that Georgios was very generous and flexible with us when we had to delay our arrival and shorten our stay due to an unexpected ferry strike (he actually notified us about it before the ferry company). And he gave us excellent advice on how to best enjoy our limited time on Santorini. We could not be happier. Highly recommended!!!
