The Emporio castle home is an absolutely charming and beautiful place to stay at in Santorini. It's quiet and away from the tourist areas, and is ideal if your looking for a holiday home with history and character to stay at while you explore Santorini. Gasparis' home is full of character and is very tastefully decorated and he provides you with any breakfast items that you need to make your own breakfast. Gasparis is also a super host and went out of his way to assist us with our transport around the island and even drove us to Oia and back for a very very nominal fee, which he really didn't have to do! I unfortunately forgot to bring my drivers license with me and couldn't hire a car, which I would highly recommend you do if you plan to stay in emporio/ santorini, as it makes your travel around the island so much easier plus you get to explore on your own schedule without dependence on public transport; which wasn't as regular as in the peak seasons. My parents and I were really lucky to experience the very special customs and ceremonies in Emporio and the surrounding areas as we were here during the Easter weekend, some of them almost magical ! The Emporio castle is a great place to stay at while you explore the beautiful Santorini island!
