What a fantastic and accommodating host from the time we made the booking until the minute we left the amazing house located within the Oia cliffs. Communication was really good and clear, answering all of our questions throughout our stay and we were made to feel so welcome. Panos made himself available to us at all times with no hassle whatsoever and went beyond expectations.
I have mobility issues and with the house being located within the cliff face, Panos did everything he possibly could to make the access and walkways as comfortable as possible. A porter came to the nearest drop off point/car parking spot (5 min walk) to both collect our luggage and drop it off afterwards.
When it came to restaurant recommendations we were given some of the best places to eat by Panos. Off the beaten track and away from your usual tourist traps. Panos is also able to sort out boat trips and other interests and he is well known in many parts of Santorini, so you are guaranteed to be well looked after!
In terms of the house itself, just wow. The most amazing sunset views in Santorini. It is that good that you feel slightly embarrassed because from your balcony, you can see hundreds of people behind you in the distance clambering for a view from the castle sunset point. The daily breakfast was a lovely touch too, to enjoy on the balcony before you go out for the day.
During our stay , the entire village had a power cut on the first day and Panos was constantly onto the electricity provider to get it sorted out. Completely out of his control but he showed constant care and support to put things right and make our stay comfortable.
The house itself is beautiful, with a traditional cave bedroom, modern wet room and kitchen and amazing outdoor space over two levels – one with a hot jacuzzi. The house was spotlessly clean and also cleaned during our stay by house-keeping!
As there are a number of steps to get to the house (some steep), the house may not be suitable for anyone with mobility issues. However, if you do have mobility issues please get in touch with Panos as he has other accommodation (equally as stunning) in Oia which may be higher up the cliff face. If you want to be in the desirable Oia with un-disturbed sunset views, outdoor hot tub, outdoor terrace and the traditional cave accommodation, this house ticks all of the boxes.
When booking accommodation in Santorini it can be quite confusing – which area, which view, what time of accommodation. To remove any doubt, we would highly recommend any of Panos’ properties if you are coming to Santorini.
