We cannot write a more complimentary review of Pura Vida Villa! From the breathtaking views of the Caldera, to the immaculate style and cleanliness of the space, there is no shortage of accolades to describe this magical place nestled on top of hills of Imerovigli.
We traveled to Santorini for our honeymoon, with our second stop in the town of Imerovigli. Our sweet host, Katerina, coordinated transfer from our first destination and welcomed us upon arrival and gave us a walkthrough of the Villa, as well as a list of recommendations for dining and activities. She also set up a lovely sunset at home dining experience with our own private Chef (an absolute 'must do' if you have time, because the sunset views are unreal and the authentic greek cuisine is delicious!) We stayed in other Villas in other cities on the Island during our Honeymoon, but Pura Vida Villa was the most breathtaking and luxurious gem, centrally located on the Island. We loved the extra space for two, but this Villa is plenty big enough for two couples to enjoy and still maintain their privacy, with rooms on opposite ends and access to their own private patios and spas. We loved the cave shower and rooftop patio/ spa. We spent five days in Imerovigli which was a great amount of time to see and do a lot!
Since we traveled during the first week of November (off season), a few of the restaurants in the area were closed for the season. However, we loved how private our Villa felt, with virtually no neighbors in sight! Also, everywhere we went it felt like it was just the two of us on the Island, and the weather was warm in the day, and cooler at night –absolutely perfect! We didn't mind walking to Fira for shopping and dining. The walk along the Caldera is breathtaking and anywhere you eat you will leave satisfied! On your stay, you must hike the path to Oia! It takes about 2.5 hours, but the view and landscape is stunning. (take a taxi home, because the path is not suitable for travel in the dark.) Enjoy fresh seafood at Ammoudi Bay, and then at the top of the stairs enjoy the idyllic Santorini Sunsets of Oia. Other recommendations for your trip to Santorini, book a sunset sail cruise with Caldera Yachting, head to the quiet town of Pyrgos to watch the sunset at Franco's Cafe (the oldest bar/cafe in Santorini), enjoy wine tasting at Santo Wines (try the Vinsanto!)
Take time to enjoy the Villa, dip in the heated spa, sit on the patio with wine and watch the sunset. Don't be shy to ask the host for recommendations or coordination.
We loved our romantic home away from home at the Pura Vida Villa! We highly recommend you book your stay here!
