Our stay at this place was absolutely perfect! The view is absolutely amazing. Amazing amazing. This is the perfect place to stay. We had a horrible flight over and was delayed and missed both connecting flights. By the time we got in the reception at the place was closed and we weren't going to be able to get into our room. We messaged Elena and she hid a key for us so we could get in our room when they weren't there. The staff is so professional and so helpful. Breakfast every morning is super fresh and home made. For us it was perfect because getting up and walking to find breakfast is not something we wanted to do each day. We made it through each city there and this is where to stay. Oia is very nice but also very pricey for what I felt wasn't as good of a view as what we had. It is also very busy. We talked to a lot of people staying there and once they left their room they were surrounded by noise and lots of people. Not that all the people make it bad but it just not as relaxing as staying here. Fira is much much busier. This is the capitol so everyone goes into this city to eat and just walk around the shops. Now online it says Fira is a very short walk from the villa. It's a nice walk down there but on the way back you will be hiking up hill. Now it is definitely possible and It is not a horrible walk so definitely don't shy away from walking. It's a great way to see the views and gather in the sights and sounds of the island. We enjoy our peace and quiet and for us staying in Fira would not have been great. The staff there will go above and beyond for you. Wait to book your trips till you're there and have the staff do it. We saved a lot of money doing this and had the best experiences at the best restaurants and excursions. Do the morning sail and attempt to get on the Triton boat. It's a great crew and was the best experience. Also rent an atv through the staff and the company they suggest. Such a great way to get around and take in more sights of the island at a fraction of the cost of a taxi. I feel I could go on and on. Perks of staying here is the location. Very quiet, great staff, restaurants, and amenities all very very close. If you stay here you must eat at avocado. Great food and staff. Get the chocolate soufflé. To die for. If you stay here you won't be disappointed. Greatest experience in every aspect once we made it to the island. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. Elena is the most helpful person and made sure we were taken care of each day and...
