Away from the insanity of Fira (thira, thera... they're the same place) and Oía, but perfectly located to get everywhere on the island quickly, you'll find the quiet relaxation of the Pleíades Eco Houses. No, it's not the quintessential cliffside cave hotel you see in the photo shoots of Santorini, but honestly, you don't really want that. You'll see when you visit, but those places are a pain to get to (think of all the stairs!), offer no privacy of any sort, and they're REALLY expensive.
Stamatina's houses are firmly planted in the lap of luxury. We had 5-star breakfast every morning ( and I mean that, some of the best breakfasts I've ever had) out on the terrace, overlooking the lower lying side of the island and the water. Daily maid service keeps your place nice and tidy while you're out and about exploring. If you don't feel like leaving the bungalow for a bit, there's an INCREDIBLE pool centered between all of the houses on the property (maybe 4 or 5 houses?) and a private plunge tub on your balcony. Don't know what to do for the day or where to eat? Ask Stamatina - her advice drove us to some of the best places on the island and we never would have found them otherwise. Namely Cava Alta restaurant in Pyrgos for dinner (the ACTUAL best place to watch the sunset), and several other little places for lunches and stuff to see. We were in santorini a week and only spent 1 day doing Oía and Fira. The rest was spent exploring ruins, swimming at Kamari Beach, going on a sailing excursion, and eating incredible food.
Bottom line - if your instagram account is the most important thing in your life, don't stay here. Otherwise, this place is absolutely the best place on the island to stay.
