We stayed here in Sept 2018. The hosts are wonderful people with big hearts. My husbands jaw dropped when he got up to the balcony and saw the view. I knew then I booked the right place. Imerovigli is not as noisy as Thira or Oia and made it great for sleeping and relaxing. The studio room has stunning views so much so that in our 3 days, there were about 20 brides that posed for pictures on the rooftop across from our room. Our hosts offered suggestions for dining and both places were excellent. We went to Fira Stephanie. Its about a 10 minute walk from the room. We had dinner at Aktaion and breakfast at Galini Cafe (inside Galini Hotel which over looks the volcano and Skaros Rock). Our host suggested prebooking a taxi or shuttle from the port as it is quite busy. We booked online through Santorini Tours as they did not require a credit card. We paid 35 Euros to have an English tour along the way to Imerovigli. Our host met us at the Imerovigli bus stop and assisted with luggage to the room which was about a 3 minute walk.
The studio room was close to Jimmys Car rentals, ATV rentals, and Scooters. We inquired about renting a 4 wheeler and were quoted 50 Euros for 24 hours. You will need an International Drivers Permit. We didnt take a taxi but we did here they start at 25 Euros. The local buses are actually like Coach buses with luggage storage underneath. No food allowed on the buses. Its 2 euros for a bus from Imerovigli to Thira and then you change buses in Thira to go to Oia and you have to pay again but this time only 1 euro 80 cents. The bus from Oia to Thira will stop in Imerovigli. You buy a ticket on the bus and they provide you change so no need for exact euros.
The studio room does not have a stove nor a microwave. We had bottled water, juice, local beer called Fix, coffee, Nespresso, Expresso, sugar, creamers, toaster, tea, biscuit cookies, bread, butter, jam and honey all provided to us.
All across Greece, you do not put toilet paper in the toilet. You use the covered waste bin provided. In Santorini, there is a sewage smell occassionally from the bathroom.
