Anna & Teo both are INCREDIBLE hosts and wonderful people. We felt so welcomed, cared for, and attended to in every way, from the transport of our bags to the local area recommendations, the daily apartment cleaning, free laundry, real coffee/tea/bottled water provided, the pastries delivered fresh in the morning along with farm fresh eggs, and wine!! They even helped us order pizza and have it delivered one night. Wow!
We are superhosts ourselves and felt we had so much to learn from the kindness and graciousness of these hosts.
We loved the cave apartment - our son had his own little nook to sleep in which was really special for him, there was a well equipped (little) kitchen which allowed us to self cater when we wanted to, and the ROOFTOP areas were SO AMAZING! Beautyful, peaceful, and well designed space with an incredible 360 view. We spent every morning and evening there.
Exploring the hiking space and old ruins behind the property was probably my favorite part of our time on this touristic island as it felt much more authentic. Emporio as a whole is a more “local” feeling town. We loved wandering the castle and enjoying a meal in the little hidden cafes amidst the walls and alleys. We were easily able to visit Ancient Thira, wineries, and Akrotiri from our base here.
This is a unique and authentic space with excellent value amidst the craziness that can be Santorini. Stay here if you like peace and quiet - you’ll be happy you did!
