We visited Catherine’s place (Blue Art Caves- stellar sun) to celebrate our honeymoon, and it was an amazing experience. Her home is a classic Santorini cliffside house with stunning views. The home is very nice and is fully upgraded to look modern and stylish, while maintaining an authentic feel. Its location is a minute’s walk from Oía’s town square, so you feel like you are immersed in the culture and life of the village. The amenities provided are top notch, including an amazing hot tub with views overlooking the Caldera and breakfast/dinner options which are delivered to you daily. Honestly, staying here feels like an all-inclusive resort but with a private feel, which is great for a trip with a spouse.
Catherine is an amazing host who really goes out of her way to make your trip as seamless and stress-free as possible. She is a local so she can provide all sorts of recommendations on things to see and places to eat. One of the best things Catherine offers is the ability to make you reservations and arrange transportation whenever necessary, which was crucial for us as we weren’t familiar with the language or area before visiting. She is essentially available to you whenever necessary and we wouldn’t have been able to have such a great time without her help.
Overall, we loved our time in Santorini and that was in no small part due to Catherine’s hospitality and amazing home. We can’t wait to come back and would recommend for anyone looking for a place in Oía to consider booking.
