Chris and Ida are great! They are wonderful hosts and helped make our trip fun and comfortable. Chris met us at the ferry docks and brought us to the room and provided lots of good information to help us plan our stay.
Messaria is a great little town to stay in that isn't crowed with tourists. It is quiet and has a two small markets for groceries and supplies. If you want to explore the island, definitely rent a scooter or four wheeler. This was really fun and helped us see the whole island. Messaria is centrally located, making it a good place to stay for exploring the island. However, if you are looking for a place with a stunning view, this isn't it. There will be plenty of amazing views in Santorini, but not from Messaria.
The jacuzzi was a nice feature in the room but was difficult to get hot. It had lots of jets and bubbles, but was more a like a whirlpool tub than a hot tub.
The kitchen is quite small, but usable. We stayed for three nights and cooked almost every meal which we enjoyed in the beautiful courtyard by the poolside.
Overall if you are looking for a comfortable and affordable place to stay a few days in Santorini, this is a great option and my wife and I highly recommend it.
