We had a great stay at the Birds Villa. The location is amazing, it’s nice and quiet, not as crowded as Fira or Oia, but there are still lots of restaurants, bars, gift shops, etc. within 5-15 minutes walk. The beach is also at 10-15 minutes and it’s amazing. One of the tour guides told us that Parissa is the best beach on the island. It’s a bit rocky though, so water shoes recommended. Also there are plenty of beach beds belonging to restaurants, you just have to eat lunch at one of them and you can use their chairs all day long.
The property itself is nice too. It was 4 of us, and we had plenty of space, with beds to spare. We loved the pool, and the stuff was friendly and accommodating. The breakfast was okay, they bring it to your room every morning, it’s different every day, but not a lot if choices.
The car was a great addition. We drove to Fira and Oia, they are beautiful of course, but there are so many people there, we were glad to come back to our quiet village at the end of the day.
My husband usually has trouble sleeping, but not there. He said he hasn’t slept that good in a very long time. I don’t know if it’s a special Santorini air or what :)
