Our experience at Likno Villas was Airbnb at its best. It took me ages to decide where to stay - there are lots of places that look amazing. However, having now been to Oia, I can assure you, you won't find a better location - it's incredibly convenient and has the best views in town.
Even more importantly, it offers great privacy, which is a major issue on the island - you'll see when you get there :-)
My original plan was to choose a villa with a plunge pool, but unfortunately, most of these offer very little privacy. I was delighted to have chosen Evi's. It ticked every box, and is even more amazing than the pictures suggest.
The house offers a traditional feel and is really comfortable - we felt very much at home.
It was fantastic to have coffee on the balcony outside the bedroom in the morning and to lounge in the shade with a glass of wine on the large secluded terrace in the afternoon or evening.
The fact that it is next door to an exclusive 5-star hotel just added to the feeling of private luxury. The hotel's chill out playlist was the perfect soundtrack to our time in Oia.
Renting a quad bike is the best way to explore the island and is lots of fun too. I would highly recommend taking the catamaran sailing trip - worth every penny!
Evi is a wonderful host; she helped arrange our sailing trips, quad bike rental and transfers and was always on hand in case of any issues. The daily cleaning service was a really nice bonus too.
If and when we return to Santorini, we'll be sure to stay with Evi.
If you book, I can assure you you won't be disappointed. Thanks Evi!
