Lucky you for stumbling across this perfect little retreat on air bnb! Eleni was extremely helpful during the booking process, arranged a pick up taxi and also provided advice on previous islands we were to visit prior to arriving. Being an architect, she has made the winery house absolutely beautiful in every way. We felt as though we had stumbled across a rare and undiscovered gem (it is even more impressive in person) - with astonishing views, in a traditional and quiet white washed village just 10 minutes walk from Oia. Georgia, a friend of Eleni, was absolutely wonderful. She met us at the beginning of the town and walked us to the villa. She has lived in Santorini for many years and has a wealth of information to share, which she does so very generously. She was extremely kind in providing so much of her time to show us the map and mark multiple recommendations of places to see and restaurants to eat (all of which we tried and were lovely). I feel she went above and beyond; you can be assured knowing Georgia is there to help.
The villa itself is spacious, clean, very homely and exquisitely decorated. The balcony area and seating (deck chairs for sun-bathing / sunset watching, and a breakfast table with big cushions) were perfect. After visiting Santorini and spending allot of time across the island, Finikia really is the ideal spot to stay - preferable to Oia, as it is quite busy and crowded with limited privacy I could imagine, being the 'hotel district' (albeit stunning!). Finikia provides that quiet retreat away from the bustle but close enough to happily walk home after dinner or wonder in for breakfast. Thank you again, Eleni and Georgia!
