Our family of 8 fit perfectly into the upstairs and downstairs apartments. The views and sunsets on the balcony are as stunning as the pictures and maybe even more beautiful. Our arrival transfers were arranged perfectly. They had a driver at the ferry waiting for us and he was very experienced and got us out of the congested port quickly. He took us to Fira, stored our luggage and directed us to a location where we could have lunch before he took us to the house. They provided large bottles of cold water and local wine for us to enjoy upon our arrival. We loved the cold plunge pool as the weather was very hot in July. Karin was an amazing host who gave us lots of recommendations and went above and beyond for us and took us to the local supermarket to stock the house. The house was perfectly located between Fira and Oia with the town of Imerovigli just a 15 minute walk. There is a good local tavern right next door for that one night you want to stay local but take the walk to Imerovigli for tons of cliff side views and restaurant choices. We had an amazing omelette at Pearl on the Cliff and watched our daughter and friends son climb Skaros Rock. If you like to hike, the picturesque trail to the towns is right next to your door. There is a hotel with a pool right at the beginning of the trail where you can sit poolside and have a coffee or breakfast or rent a bed and use the pool. We walked to both Fira (45 minutes ) and Oia (almost 2 hours) and the mornings are the perfect time. There is a bus stop across the street if you prefer the bus. They take cash and come every 30 minutes. Our hosts helped us rent ATV’s, which we would recommend as there is private parking at the house. It was fun to get out and explore on your own and go pick up gelato or ride to the towns. We loved Imerovigli as there are no crowds from the cruise lines. Our hosts also helped arrange a private catamaran cruise with dinner and swimming and that was a perfect way to experience the beauty of Santorini. This house is away from the crowds and a great spot for evening cocktails! Thank you Karin for recommending Kokkalo Restaurant for our last meal in town and meeting us for a drink. We will be back to see you again. We felt like family!
