Loved our stay in Oia at Villa Matilde! We were greeted by Elenie and staff.
Elenie helped set-up transportation from the port, to Kamari beach and to
the airport. She also answered our questions about the local area. The
recommendations for the restaurants were spot on - she helped make
reservations at Skala for our first night and we especially enjoyed Candouni
Restaurant the next night. Loved her idea about cliff diving near Ammoundi
Bay - highlight of the trip for my 3 teens. So worth the hike / swim over
to the little island you can see from the villa if you are the adventurous
type. The Villa had an amazing view! Entrance to the house is on the path
where people line up to take pictures of the 3 famous Oia domes, besides
walking past them to get to our front entry, I never really felt their
presence - occasionally you had a rowdy group that you could hear, but
overall the tourists did not interrupt the tranquility of our stay. The
location was perfect, house was clean and maintained daily, spacious,
comfortable, convenient fridge in the home and then another in the kitchen.
There is an alternating tread stairs leading to the top floor where the
balcony to see the 3 domes are - not an issue for us, but might be for
someone that has mobility issues. Another thank you for storing our luggage before our flight out!
