I don't even have good enough words to describe our stay at Armeni Seaside Villa. Our group, 8 people, spent an unforgettable week at Nicoletta's villa - we all agreed that it was the most spectacular vacation we all had been on. We highly recommend this listing with all our hearts and hope to come back one day!
To start with, the villa was amazing and everything matched the description. Beautiful decor, clean rooms and good equipment. Our favourite place was the terrace facing the sea! The view from the terrace to Armeni Bay was great. The small harbour was charming and tranquil with a great restaurant (and amazing staff, who treated us as their neighbours), a small beach and only a few other houses. There were some yachts at the harbour during our stay, but when one of them was getting too loud with the music, Christina and Alexandra asked them to turn down the volume, and the problem was solved. It was an amazing feeling to stay in at such a peaceful place, away from the crowds of Oia. It felt like a home away from home. The location was perfect for us and we didn't even mind around 300 steps up or down - we walked them every day and some days twice.
Alongside the beautiful location, the activities and the people made our week even more memorable. We had a great driver to pick up and drop us at the airport and we were warmly welcomed by Alexandra and Christina. They instructed us well, gave amazing recommendations (such as Katharos Beach) and answered to all our questions during the week. Our group's special thanks go to Gregory, the captain. He took us many times to and from Ammoudi Bay and took us to watch the sunset on the boat more than once. The boat rides were one of the best parts of our stay. Gregory was punctual and it was easy to make plans with him. He also let us use the kayaks, stand up paddling boards and snorkelling equipment. He told us about the cliff jumping place, a secluded church by the coast and answered our numerous questions about Santorini. Without him, our vacation would not have been so full of great activities.
All in all, we loved every second of our stay. We truly believe that we had a unique experience and saw a real and authentic version of Santorini. I myself have visited the island once before and this second visit was just beyond everything I have ever experienced, thanks to our stay at Armeni Bay.
