Right from the greetings we received from Nicoletta and her two daughters our stay was brilliant.

Location is of course the main feature of these apartments, but it is the little things that make the difference. Everything is spotlessly clean and kept that way by the lovely cleaning staff who come down from Oia every day. The girls were happy to chat with us, when ever they saw us, be it in Oia or when they were introducing new guests to the other apartments.

Our apartment even though it is the smallest, was plenty big enough for the two of us (our stay was 10 weeks). The apartments have everything you need as far as the kitchen goes and ours also had what was essentially a walk in wardrobe.

It is a 3-minute car ride from Oia and a 25-minute car ride from Fira. There is an alternative option - you can descend to the port from Oia via the steps and go back up by donkey. All these options will bring you to the entrance of the apartments which is only a step away from the sea. Which really brings me to what we enjoyed most about our stay - diving off the jetty directly in front of the apartment, having a quick swim and then going right back to our loungers with the view over the bay. Absolutely perfect.
