My husband and I decided to visit Santorini for our babymoon. We are so happy out of all the places to choose, we chose to stay at Spiti Barbara. Our cousins and their 8 month old also joined us and we had a wonderful week together.
Like some of the other reviews, photos can’t do justice of how great this home and location are. We loved having two separate quarters as it gave privacy and convenience to both couples when needed but also allowed us to come together easily for meals whether in the home, courtyard or one of the two balconies.
The space is clean and stocked with everything you need for an enjoyable and comfortable stay.
We loved evenings on the upper patio, hanging in the jacuzzi while watching the most spectacular sunsets! The area was buzzing during the day but very quite at night. I loved walking just few steps up in the mornings to a street of markets and restaurants to get my coffee and yogurt.
Thira is a quick 10 min walk and even though we rented vehicles they weren’t really needed as everything is so close and super convenient.
The pool mentioned in the other review is no longer available however if you continue further down the steps to the Dana villas they did say we could use theirs after 10:30 am. But Marina (the property manager) suggested going to Lioyerma pool in Oia and we ended up there twice because it was so nice. And an awesome place to watch the sunset!
One of our other favourite spots was called Volkan and it was just up the hill. They’ve just began showing open air films in the evenings and we had to much fun watching mama Mia there and we ate there a number of times.
Marina was super helpful! She mapped out the whole island for us and gave suggestions for activities and places to eat and visit. Once we made our plans she booked everything for us as well. It was so nice to have a local helping us out! She really made it carefree for us and checked in on us daily via WhatsApp to see if she could help at all. (Thank you Marina!!)
I had even made a booking error and mixed up our leaving date. Anette and Ebert were very accommodating and understanding and it all worked out much to our relief!
All in all it was excellent and we all would highly recommend staying here.
