Elena's House is charming. It is decorated with great taste and great paintings too! You immediately feel at home.
The house is located in the traditional district of Emporio (the "Castle") which is nice and offers cool local food places and markets.
The house is fresh, thanks to is 4m-high rooms and its traditional windows and air circulation. Freshness ensured w/o air conditioning = no noise, no cold ;)
The house offers several places so you can always spot the right one (kitchen/living room, patio, roof terrasse) for your breakfasts, lunchs, aperos or diners.
Having a car is almost mandatory here to enjoy Santorini. And when you are tired of the growing masses of tourists you can go back to the Castle and rest comfortably.
I highly recommand Elena's house and last but not least we have been warmly welcomed, making our entry and exit both easy and interesting (thank you Areti!).
