We absolutely loved our stay in Pyrgos.
The house is just gorgeous, with plenty of living space, a view to die for, and exceptionally comfortable beds.
The kitchen is outfitted with anything what you’d need to do some basic cooking (Americans, don’t expect a microwave - you’ll have to reheat your leftovers a little more creatively). We especially appreciated the option of Nescafé or filter coffee in the morning.
A single word of warning: don’t leave any crumbs behind on the counters, or you’ll be shooing away trails of little ants all day. We ran into this early on in our stay, and being vigilant about cleaning up and wiping down the counters seemed to take care of it.
Having a washing machine was a definite plus, and drying our laundry outside on the drying rack in the hot Santorini sun was no problem (unless the wind really started to kick up).
Then living room is spacious, and the outdoor living space is fantastic. We spent most days with either all of the windows open, in the pool, on the terrace, or on the roof.
The roof has amazing, 360 degree views of the island. We loved watching the sun set from there.
The pool, while not quite a “hot” tub, was definitely warm enough to be pleasant on cool October evenings.
The WiFi was speedy and reliable.
The large bathroom and unique shower were a lot of fun!
It was a great perk to have a cleaning person come by about halfway through our stay to refresh everything for us.
The location was perhaps our favorite thing about staying here. Pyrgos is a charming town with a lot to discover if you’re willing to wander its paths. Unlike Oia and Fira, Pyrgos is rarely crowded but offers the same white washed buildings, charming shops, and excellent restaurants. If we return to Santorini, I can’t imagine staying anywhere else.
