We loved our stay. While necessary to have a car, and we drove often to Thera or Oia, we were in a small village with quiet neighbors whose birds created lovely music. Kate was super helpful and friendly. She greeted us at the house and helped to schedule a sailing trip. The house is artfully decorated/designed. Because of off season, there were rubble piles in front of the house but this is to be expected across the island at this time of year. Sharing pictures of the actual view, however, from the house would be helpful to better understand the context. There are 2 electrical poles, a wire fence, and a deserted plot in front of the house. The nighttime view pic on the website gives the impression of being close to the coast. Despite this, we loved our stay and enjoyed being nestled in a small village w/a historic castle/church. There were 2 markets within walking distance, the beds were super comfortable and there was a lovely view of the coast/surrounding village from the rooftop.
