We fell in love with Santorini, in large part due to Martine & Sebastian's hospitality. Their home is set in a small, quiet village away from Thira (but only a 15 minute drive, or bus ride). The location and view from the hot tub are amazing - everything you could want is within walking distance or a very short drive or bus ride. The home itself is so beautifully designed and decorated. We spent a lot of time chatting with Martine & Sebastian about the rebuilding of the original house and were so impressed at all of the thought and love that went into creating this space. I can't say enough about how perfectly designed and appointed it is - seriously, it should be in Architectural Digest!
I hesitate to mention it (because I wouldn't want to create an expectation that all of their guests get the royal treatment we received 😂), but they were, by far, the loveliest and most attentive hosts of any Airbnb I've ever stayed at (and there have been MANY). They arranged our transfer from the port as well as an amazing sailboat excursion, they spent (a LOT of ) time telling us all about the renovation details, they took us to a local potter where we had a drinks and a throwing lesson and they even had dinner with us one night.
We absolutely LOVED this stay and yes, we will be back...and soon!
