If you are lucky enough to have a chance to stay at St Apostle’s Luxury Villa, don’t miss it!
George is not only a super host, he is the GOAT. ( Greatest Of All Times) The Villa is gorgeous, comfortable, clean, well-appointed, gated, and beautifully decorated. George stocks the villa daily with beverages, fruit, snacks, and surprises. I had the good fortune of celebrating my birthday at the villa pool, and George treated me like a queen. I ran in to grab a book, and to my surprise, George had decorated the the villa with balloons, flower and even a cake.
George was also so accommodating with transportation. Not only did he do airport transfers, but he gave us a ride to Imerovigli. Nick, George’s nephew, helps with transportation and he is wonderful, too. The villa is less than 1 mile from the city of Fira, which we found to be a great opportunity for a little more exercise. Most days we walked to and from Fira and loved the chance for the extra steps. (Make sure you wear sneakers while in Fira. Walking surfaces are uneven and require a stable shoe) We did the 10 k hike from Fira to Oia and loved it. Start early if you decide to do this and take some water. You’ll also want to have 30 Euros for cab fare home unless you wan to walk back.
George has been in Santorini for many years and is a great help with restaurants, activities, car rentals, etc. I wish I had reached out to him in advance to help with our planning. Oh, and George employees a delightful lady who does daily housekeeping, which is such a bonus. (I’ve never received daily cleaning at any other AirBnBs.) She does a fantastic job and is so lovely.
We hope to come back soon. We traveled with our 2 college aged daughters, and they loved it as well. It’s the perfect spot for an island vacation.
