We spent 8 nights at Sunset Villas Topaz in April and really enjoyed our time. The setting was just beautiful, overlooking the water with stunning views of the sunset each evening. The villa was kept very neat and clean daily by the housekeeping staff. This surprised us, as we thought cleaning was only provided every 4 days, but no...they came daily! That was a nice surprise.

The villa itself is small and cozy. There is a main floor with a small living room, a narrow kitchen area with sink and refrigerator, and a small but full bathroom. The upstairs loft contained a double/queen bed and dresser. The downstairs was a whole separate apartment, with a living room/kitchen area, large refrigerator, sink, full bathroom, washer, and bedroom.

We had 2 adults/4 kids. Though we were able to fit all 6 of us in, I'd probably recommend this villa for 2-4 people, if you plan on spending a lot of time indoors. We enjoy family time, playing games and watching movies, so the main living room was a bit small for 6 of us, but for 2-4 people, it would be perfect! This in no way is a complaint, just an observation, so you pick the correct villa for your family.

The decorations, tiles, flooring, and paint were lovely and colorful, and the overall atmosphere peaceful and relaxing. The onsite staff (Katerina and two housekeeping staff) tried their hardest to provide what we needed (e.g. cake for our birthday girl, an extra drying rack, marshmallows for a campfire).

Just a few things to note:

1. The main bathroom, though lovely, is rather narrow, as is the shower, so for larger people, this may be an issue. We were completely fine...but thought I'd note this.

2. The villa is just 1 km past the main village area of Oia, so the setting is nice and quiet (unless you have loud neighbors, which we did for 2 nights, but it didn't really bother us). However, though Oia is very close, the "hike" up is somewhat steep, so a car is helpful if you're not athletic or in good shape. Walking at a brisque pace uphill took us about 12 minutes. Downhill back to the villa, of course, was easy.

3. Several reviews mention the hot tub, so I'll share. The 1st 2 nights, the tub was overheated, (107 degrees), so too hot to get in. They tried to cool it down, but then it was too cold. Since we had already read reviews and Marcos' responses, we knew what to expect, so we were fine, but thought we'd update you. Bottom line: If you have questions, ask. You'll get an honest answer.

4. Internet: Very poor connection at times. If you're on vacation, not a problem. If you need to work or plan, it may be challenging.

Thank you for our lovely experience in Oia, Santorini, Marcos. We were sad to leave and hope to visit you again some time soon!
