We are glad that we spent our Santorini vacation at The Chess House. It is a beautiful place and perfectly located in Imigovgli with awesome view. It is about 15 mins beautiful walk from Fira Cable car from where you can take an awesome boat tour to the crater. We traveled during the rainy month of late November. Hence, most of the restaurants and shops are closed for the season. In some ways it was a blessing because there was much less rush. The chess house is a "Perfect" place to go with a large family or friends. It has a fantastic from porch and a terrace. A word of caution is that there are a few unavoidable steps to get to the house.
Although we were there in the middle of heavy rain, we enjoyed the stay thoroughly.
There is a supermarket at about 5 mins walk that has everything you need and are run by very friendly people.
