The location of this place couldn’t be better! You’re in the heart of everything, yet it’s really peaceful thanks to being down a little side street. You don’t feel overlooked like those on the caldera edge.
The cellar is exactly as pictured. The bed is super comfy and massive. We spent every night in the jacuzzi, unwinding from our days exploring Oia and the rest of Santorini. The kitchenette was perfect for us, as we had coffee, snacks and a light breakfast to keep us going in the day before splashing out on dinner and drinks in the evening.
It is worth noting that it is a private flat and the garden is yours, but shares a path inside the gates with a couple of other flats. (We saw two people walk to their door the entire time we were there, so don’t let that put you off at all)!
We also slept with earplugs, as we’re light sleepers and were worried about how busy Oia might be, but it was so quiet and peaceful at the cellar. The jacuzzis jets lightly hum in the background, but we slept the deepest we’ve slept in months and feel incredibly well rested.
Panagiotis is such a lovely person, who arranged our shuttles from and to the airport and gave us all the info we could have needed for our stay. He’s very quick on communication too. Thank you for making our stay perfect Panagiotis!
If you’re torn on where to stay on the island, Oia is incredibly beautiful and in our opinion the best place in Santorini. It is also the most expensive, but for us, felt like a once in a lifetime destination, so was worth every penny.
In summary, if like us, you can’t afford the Caldera views, but like a bit of luxury, this is the place to stay!
