My husband, 18-year-old son, and I had a wonderful time staying at Sofia's. Her beautiful home is in a traditional village mid-island. After visiting some of the heavily touristed spots on Santorini (Oia, Fira, etc.), her place is an oasis of calm, very well-appointed with everything you need. We particularly liked sitting out on the lovely patio looking at the sea. We really enjoyed getting to know Sofia a bit; she's a very interesting and nice person and was extremely helpful with providing information about things to do on the island, good restaurants, and tips for avoiding the crowds. She pored over a map with us, giving us lots of suggestions, then followed up with emails linking us to websites. The location of her house is perfect for exploring the island with a rental car. We drove all over the place during the week we were there and nothing is more than a half-hour drive away. I would really recommend staying at Sofia's; we felt that staying in Vothonas gave us a more authentic experience on Santorini and loved staying in her gorgeous home.
