This is the perfect Santorini apartment.
Emily met me at my taxi to helped me with my luggage. From the second we stepped into the quiet little courtyard in front, I was in love with the place.
Every detail was special, from the he antique furnishings, to the beautiful tile work, to the postcard view from the private balcony. But when I saw the view from the rooftop terrace I literally wept. I couldn't breathe. I could see the water on both sides of the island and it took my breath away. It's one of the most beautiful views I've ever seen.
Emily showed me where the restaurant was, in case I couldn't get in touch with her, for any reason. It smelled so good when we walked in, that I immediately sat and had a lunch that was so delicious.
Emily gave me so many great recommendations on where to go and what to do, including the sunset cruise that I had so much fun on.
I was traveling by myself, so there were more beds than I needed, but with my mobility issues the street level apartment was perfect for me.
The family was so wonderfully warm and attentive. The night of my birthday, Gill and six or seven other people brought me a piece of birthday cake with a candle on it and sang happy birthday to me. Who knew I would have a surprise party in Santorini? That was so incredibly thoughtful and was the perfect end to a perfect day.
I just can't say enough good things about the apartment, or the wonderful family who host it.
