What an incredible place, and amazing host! We got there a little early, and Aris was accommodating and let us check in early. He helped arrange an amazing Catamaran Tour, and arranged to have our rental car dropped off at the house. He gave us the lay of the land, great restaurant recommendations, and what sites were really "don't miss." He was very responsive, and wonderfully helpful. We also ate at his restaurant (Thai - if you need a break from Greek food) and it was delicious! The house is incredible, and convenient to Oia - walking about 10 mins. If you want to see the rest of the island, you do need a car. The views are spectacular - the bed in the room we slept in, very comfortable. One bathroom is tiny, the other regular sized - both in great working order. We didn't cook, but the kitchen is well equipped. There is no washer or dryer - but laundry is easily done in town, and not too expensive. There is daily maid service included, which was a pleasant surprise. The nice thing about the house is you don't have hoardes of tourists staring down at you while you try to enjoy privacy. Although you are close to your neighbours - it is very private. I would say the worst thing about the house is that the view is so breathtaking, you never want to leave - prying yourself away from this piece of nirvana to explore the island, can be quite difficult... Five stars to Aris, and we highly recommend this lovely villa.
