Maria was an excellent host, and was very accommodating with an excellent response time to all of our questions from both the states and during our stay in Oia. The gentleman, Vasili, she sent to assist us with our luggage and teach us the way up to the Pori house, was also very kind and supportive in answering our questions about the house and how to navigate through the area. He also showed us where he lived in case we needed any help. On our last day another gentleman carried our luggage back to where we arranged our driver to pick us up. He offered to call us a driver if we hadn't done so already. Both men were such strong/hard workers- I can't imagine transporting our luggage ourselves (two females) without their help. Although I know carrying our luggage was hard work for them, I was truly grateful and relieved that they didn't use poor little donkeys whom I noticed were very overworked by other places. The house itself was very unique, clean, beautiful, and has a very powerful air-conditioner. A fan is provided for the loft area where there's a comfortable full size bed since the AC was on the first floor . I loved the entire house and all of it's cozy and charming decor, but my absolute favorite feature were the shuttered windows that opened to the most awe inspiring veiws of the ocean and caldera. I remember enjoying a midnight snack sitting next to one of the windows and contemplating the moons reflection over the peaceful ocean; the feeling of the ocean breeze and sound of the waves was an experience I will never forget! I highly recommend the Pori house to anyone that is fortunate enough to go to Oia- just the views alone will make your trip and stay worthwhile! Thank again Maria for our unforgettable stay!!
