What can I say? I loved my stay from start to finish. I happen to be a big fan of Santorini off-season. I agree wholeheartedly with the many many previous reviews: from each simply yet artfully decorated room and the courtyard featuring palm trees, succulents, whitewash and a view of the sea and nearby islands, to the hosts, Lamprini and Giorgos, who were kind, efficient and ready to help the minute I asked. In addition, we spent what turned out to be the jolliest New Year's Eve of my life together. I am already devising plans to return in the spring and recommending to others.
I will say, in case it is not already clear, that a car is essential for accessing other parts of the island. If a restful stay in and around Oia is what you're after, then the location is perfect, a short walk into "downtown" Oia along the rim, or longer hike towards Fira. In warmer weather, beaches below are not far away, meaning a hike or drive down the hill and back up again.
This is a marvellous choice. I can only hope to avoid the competition when I decide to return! Thanks for everything, Lamprini and Giorgos!
