I stayed at Villa Anemi with my sister and two friends for a few days and we had a fantastic time. The villa is spacious and tastefully decorated. We enjoyed the hot tub and the terraces. It is just off the main street in Oia. So it’s very close to the supermarkets, cafes, restaurants and Mary Kay’s Bar - which seems to be the place to go at night - yet it’s quiet and tranquil. Villa Anemi is also the best place to see Santorini’s spectacular sunsets. It is about half an hour’s drive to Santorini’s capital, Thira, so you would need to hire a car or book a driver. But though a small island, Santorini’s towns and key sights are spread out, so you would need to hire a car or arrange transport anyway.
Others have raved about him in their reviews and I have to agree that Dimitris is a brilliant host! He went above and beyond what we would have expected. He arranged our transfers to and from the airport and we had the same driver, Panos, throughout our stay. When we arrived at the villa, Dimitris pulled out a map, pointed out all the must-sees and gave us helpful tips. He arranged our bookings with two fantastic restaurants. Of the two, Melitini served more traditional - and very tasty - Greek food. We were celebrating a milestone birthday and Dimitris arranged to have his favourite cake made for us and delivered to the restaurant. And the cake was indeed delicious! From start to finish, Dimitris arranged everything we asked for and we had a perfect stay.
If you are planning to visit Santorini, I can’t recommend Villa Anemi and Dimitris highly enough.
