The hospitality at Cavana Santina was unparalleled. While I would have liked more communication prior to our arrival via Airbnb messages to help with planning, George was very welcoming and incredibly helpful upon check in, sitting down with us to explain where various points of interest were and how to get there. Additionally, he provided a cell phone to reach him directly at any time and he coordinated several taxis for us around the island, including pick up when we arrived via ferry (which was very much appreciated since the ferry port was nuts!). Having a local person help with these arrangements allowed us (me, my husband, our two young children and my dad) to spend more of our time relaxing and enjoying Santorini. The lodging itself was lovely, with a peaceful courtyard and great rooftop with a view. The beds weren't particularly luxurious and the showers could have had more water pressure, but the setting and traditional feeling of Cavana Santina made up for that. Messaria is neatly located with easy access via bus to many other points on the island and the apartment was close walking distance to the center of the town. Additionally, there is a great local-feeling restaurant (menu only in Greek) George mentioned during check in at the end of the lane; we enjoyed a perfect final meal in Santorini there. The on-site housekeeper was always friendly and kept the apartment and shared courtyard areas tidy and inviting. Highly recommend!
