We had a lovely stay in Santorni, the restaurants are amazing and we had a great time chilling out.
Now to the apartment itself there are positives and few negatives.
1 - The view is stunning, very beautiful.
2 - Hot tub was a great way to relax - the temperature was set to one setting but worked night and day and felt right.
3 - The manager of the apartments 'Yiannis' is a lovely guy. He is very knowledgable about the island and is always on hand to help.
4 - Location is great. A 25/30 min nice walk to the centre of Fira.
A few less positives
1 - Because of the view there are multiple photoshoots right outside the apartment. The shoots are for flying dresses of Santorni. I realise the owners can't do much about this as it was on the path outside. It started off a bit of a novelty but soon became a bit tiresome and the apartment/ patio area felt less private and very overlooked. There were also numerous other photoshoots going on.
2 - The maid visited all 3 apartments everyday and was there far too long. It's great to have the room cleaned everday but the cleaning seemed to last for hours. This is fine when you are out but when you want to chill out for the day it was a bit too much. There was also another issue about the maid which I have mentioned privately to the owners.
3 - The shower head didn't work properly and shower sealing and decor in the shower was in need of a bit of TLC
4 - The toilet has a very poor flush system. I realise this could be just a santorni thing but I ended up using the bathroom bin to try and increase the flush pressure.
5 - The apartment door lock took a bit of getting used too - it's not working correctly
6 - You are very close to the neighbours in this apartment. Ours were nice but if you are after complete solitude this place isn't for you.
7 - More hangers would be good. There was only 5. Maybe take your own.
8 - Maybe arrange your own transportation from the airport when you get there. We arranged through Zenith and were waiting at the airport for 30 mins before ours turned up.
