It is a tough decision when selecting the perfect accommodation in a place like Santorini. We relied heavily on the written reviews and because of that, we did end up with the perfect accommodation! Now it's my turn to share our experience. The house is LOVELY. It is well described in the posting. We actually did not spend much time inside the house, because of the large, sweet outdoor space around the house, and we were busy doing things all day long. Not many houses in Oia village have large outdoor spaces. We drank coffee outside, planned our day and did yoga outside every morning. The soaking pool (hot tub like) was a FANTASTIC way to end each busy day! We really liked the location. It was very convenient and accessible to everything (bus stop, taxi stop, sunset viewing, restaurants, Amoudi Bay, etc). We liked that we were walking distance from the hub of activity in the Village.
As mentioned in most reviews, Louanna was amazing! Communication was easy and responsive before arriving. She is a native Greek, has traveled well and speaks perfect English. She communicates using whatever format is best for you (email, ABB, text, phone, etc). She KNOWS how to help you plan and have an AWESOME visit. Her business is tourism, with a twist. She is proud of her Island, and wants you to have a personalized, authentic experience. She has a team of people (drivers, cleaners, carrying luggage, etc) who take care of details. She offers suggestions of things to do AND makes them happen. Her rates for transfers and tours are cheaper, and did I mention more personalized. She knows her connections...at the last minute she was able to organize an evening private sunset boat trip on a traditional Greek fishing boat with Capt. Georgos Lambros. I would HIGHLY suggest doing this, rather than the large catamaran trips (which we did on a previous trip). We booked an Island tour with Louanna as our guide and her husband, Albert as our driver. They personalized our tour after hearing our desires and we had a FANTASTIC time. Her rates are better than other tours and she makes you feel special. She takes care of details.. and restaurant reservations!
I would definitely stay at one of Louanna's properties and highly recommend that you consider it. Yasou!!
