This is by far the coolest and most unique place in Santorini. We honestly felt that we had the best location on island and that was after staying in other locations. Imerovigli is like Oia but I’m my opinion better. You are centrally located on the island, have all of the beautiful views like Oia, with wayyyy less people. We also felt like all of the restaurants and shops were very fairly priced compared to Oia. There is a beautiful blue dome church right next door, the path to Fira/Oia is literally outside your door. Also, the best restaurant, La Maison is right next door. You can’t beat that.
Mrs. Maria was wonderful. She booked transportation for us from the airport and to the port when we checked out, booked a buggy that we picked up as soon as we arrived, also gave us the best recommendations for what to do and see that were not touristy and WELL WORTH IT! The views are incredible. Pictures do not do this villa justice. Sunrise and sunset.
The few negatives but they should not deter you at all because this villa is so incredible. I’d book it again in a heartbeat. The bathrooms are very small and not as private as I would have liked. Again, this was not an issue AT ALL, I just think you need to know before you go so you are prepared. We found this location actually more private than we thought, and more private than a majority of villas we walked by that I’m sure were wayyyy more expensive. There were typically people sitting on our steps when we would walk up, not an issue, but just should know. You just need to make sure you are always locking the gate because this is the ideal picture taking spot and place to watch the sunset so I’m sure people would try to come up if they could.
Now the absolute best part - the SUNSET! I don’t think there is a better place on the island to watch this. Honestly, better than Oia. This is private, no one else in your photos and you can relax from your windmill villa. Incredible! Seriously book this if it’s available!!!
