We booked Evi’s place, both upstairs and downstairs based on the reviews and let me just say it DID NOT DISAPPOINT! Everything that was written in those reviews is true!
The host:
Evi is the best host we have ever had. Her attention to detail is amazing. She takes care of everything. She booked our transfers, met us at the road, had her worker take our bags, booked our ATV, and was a phone call away with the phone she gave us in case we needed to reach her or make a call. The cleaning lady came each day and made our beds, took our trash and swept and fixed things up and was sooo sweet!
The view:
WOW 🤩. The pictures DO NOT do justice. It’s literally out of a post card and after walking around the town of Oía we agreed we had the best view. The downstairs terrace was a bit more private than the upstairs one. There is very little privacy in Oia since the it’s on a cascading hill. Those above can look down. But this is the case for all the places. So if you want a bit more privacy the downstairs traditional Villa would be best.
The location:
The location was perfect. Right down the steps off of the main strip where there are restaurants and stores galore. Anything you could need is just a walk up the steps. Evi also had a handbook ready with recommendations to places. We ate at a few and all were great. I will say that if you are not in great shape or are disabled the steps in most places in Oía will be difficult for you.
The rooms:
Both upstairs and downstairs were absolutely beautiful. They had everything you could need in them and Evi had snacks and fruits and drinks stocked. She even had some wine that she gifted to us. The beds in both rooms were comfortable, fresh towels at our disposable for both laying out and showering. All terraces had amazing views and everything was extremely clean, smelled fresh and was stocked with toiletries.
Overall: Book this place. It’s so worth it. I spent weeks looking for “modern” looking places and pools or hot tubs and ultimately chose Likno Villas because of the reviews and so happy we did. Almost don’t want to leave this review so I can come back whenever to my little secret, but Evi and her team were too amazing not to share. This place gets 11 stars if I could. Better than a hotel.
