The views from the roof top porch were amazing! We were trying to decide between this and a nice hotel suite and we are confident that we made the right choice. The spacious villa was very clean with a little refrigerator, coffee maker, tea maker and plenty of cups, glasses and utensils. The back bedroom was fantastic for sleeping, very quiet and dark. We didn't try the other bedroom but it is probably also quite as the walls and insulation seem to be very good. The host was very helpful and responsive .
There is a store for groceries, a bakery, pharmacy, restaurant and car rental all within a few minutes of walking distance. After the first day, we rented a small car. It was well worth the money because a short taxi ride, 5 to 10 mins, was $15 to $30, depending on time of day and which driver you rode with. Driving around the island is fairly easy as there was not much traffic. No matter which lovely spot on the island we saw during the day, we were always happy to get back to our wonderful views at the villa.
The drive to Fira was less than ten minutes and the walk took us about 35 minutes. The walk is very nice. We would definitely stay here again.
