We researched for weeks where we should stay, and while online sites kept luring us to Oia, we are SO HAPPY we chose to stay at Filio's perfect villa! The breathtaking location provided endless happy memories; it was impeccably clean and the location was PERFECT! Our teenage children loved being right in the heart of the town; we fed off the energy of all the quaint bars and restaurants on the caldera side, but never had any issue with noise bothering us. Individual air conditioning units kept us refreshed and George, our host, provided immediate response to any questions we posed, including transport to and from the airport and suggested activities. Also, for a mom like me who likes to keep a clean house, I can't rave enough about Sylvia, the housekeeper who works tirelessly to ensure the villa is sparkling fresh and clean. While Oia may be the most photographed spot in the world, Fira/Thira are the heart of the island and offer an abundance of shopping, food experiences (including some American spots for anyone who wants a temporary break from the incredible Greek cuisine), gelato spots, etc. We would stay here again in a heartbeat and feel eternally blessed to have seen the magic of Santorini from this beautiful home!
