We loved our time at The House of the 7 Ships! Eleni was extremely helping with arranging transportation from the ferry port and giving us advice on tours, vendors, restaurants, etc. The house itself is absolutely adorable! It was clean, cool, and had lots of space. I found myself staying 'home' because I loved the house so much. It stayed relatively cool at all times, the beds were comfortable, and the kitchen was well-stocked. Eleni and Irini left us bread, creamer, coffee, juice, and butter so that we had supplies for our first morning and beyond. So thoughtful and much appreciated! The patio provided a lovely view of the sea, and it was a great place to lounge - day or night. With the umbrella up, it was even pleasant during the extreme heat of the day.
It takes a bit of effort to access the house (hills, narrow paths, etc.), but it is well worth the effort. Our hosts provided great maps and information about getting around, and we enjoyed exploring Finikia. One of the best things about the house and area is that it's quiet and lacks the crowds we encountered in Oia and other areas. It was a lovely place of respite.
This is the only Airbnb where I've been required to sign a short-term lease upon arrival, and I must admit that I was a bit shocked ad concerned about that at first. However, after reading the (brief) document, I realized that it simply clarified expectations for both parties, so I was fine with signing it.
If you are lucky enough to find this property available, book it! You won't regret it!
