We stayed at Little Olive Tree Villa for one week 27th August - 3rd September 2020. Communication with the host Nikolas & his colleagues Irini & Kostas was very good from the initial booking and prior/ during our trip. Transportation was organised for us from the airport to the Villa via taxi service that the hosts regularly use and this was 25 euro. We used this taxi service throughout our stay also and were very happy with the service.
On arrival Kostas was very polite and welcoming. He had prepared some wine & snacks including olives, cheese, toasted bread, tzatziki - it was very welcomed after a long day of travel.
Kostas provided us with a very detailed whats app message for information & recommendations while we were on the island i.e beaches to visit, where to eat, local attractions - many of which we tried and were really impressed with. Kostas organised ATV hire for us with a local vendor to explore the island, we were really happy with this service also.
The villa is in a really nice location - its basically less than 5 minutes walk to Firostefani - which is a beautiful spot with some lovely restaurants. From there you can go by foot to Fira in about ten minutes. You cross the road outside your villa and you are on the caldera walk. Imerovigi is also 5 minutes by foot, north of the villa, and again has lots of lovely restaurants, bakeries and supermarket. The location of the villa feels safe & private and Kostas was regularly nearby if you needed anything.
The villa itself is cute and great value for money with very pretty & homely decor. There is a little outdoor patio area with table & chairs, space to dry laundry. The layout is studio like - medium size open space with kitchenette, seating area i.e. table, chairs & couch. Then a optional curtain divider for room area with double bed, wardrobe, locker, mirror, fan. There was plenty of fresh towels & bed linen. Also working air-conditioning.
The bathroom has shower, sink, toilet, washing machine - it is functional and cute with nice mirror also.
We had some slight inconvenience with construction noise from a neighbouring villa - however as soon as we brought this to Nikolas attention, it was addressed and stopped immediately causing no further disruption. I think it was a small plumbing job, so I wouldn't even mention it in the review, other than we actually want to highlight how impressed & happy we were with the host response and manner in which it was addressed. We would be confident if you had an issues during your stay you would received the same hospitality.
We have a lovely week in our villa and would recommended it for your stay in Santorini.
