Breathtaking, unobstructed views of the caldera from the sweet terraces of Rena's place! The steps were not difficult to navigate for travelers accustomed to staying in small villages such as Hydra Town or Positano. The neighborhood is quiet yet very close to the throngs of tourists taking photos of stunning Oia.
Nicoletta, the lovely cleaning woman, gave us a really warm welcome and left many special touches in the very rustic cave (soft robes, slippers, towels, shampoo, soap, etc). Rena had the refrigerator stocked with delicious cake, wine, and toasts--and there is a super pod espresso maker as well.
My husband and son loved using the kayaks, and took them out to the little island near the old port. Matteo, Rena's porter, was a total gem who helped us with the kayaks and our bags.
There is a sweet dog and several cats who liked to hang out nonchalantly with us while we were enjoying wine on the terrace.
