Absolutely perfect!
Villa LuxL made for the perfect family holiday home for our recent trip to Santorini! The villa is beautifully decorated and incredibly well equipped, really making it a home away from home. In the courtyard the shared pool is fantastic for a midday dip and the outdoor furniture is great to make use of on an evening to sit with a drink.
Chris was away when we visited, but he was a real star in pointing us in the right direction when we took a wrong turn trying to find the villa. We saw Ida on a daily basis when she would come in the morning to sweep the courtyard and she is really lovely. Ida provided a map and helped to point out places to visit that our son would enjoy, highlighting great beaches for him to explore. If we ever needed anything we felt like we were in safe hands. The perfect hosts? Absolutely.
Villa LuxL is located in Mesaria, which is right in the centre of the island only a 5 minute drive from the airport. It's in a quiet location away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist hotspots. The village itself isn't picture postcard pretty, but it's well equipped with a supermarket, a bakers (which sells great cake!) and several restaurants, making it a great base to explore the island. Being so central and with the island being so small, we found that we could get to the furthest points of the island in under 20 minutes by car, so nowhere was far. We found ourselves driving all over the island on some days as it's so easy to get around!
Our favourite places to visit were Pyrgos and Megalochori, (both were only 7 minutes away by car) and we would urge anybody to take time to visit.
We're so pleased that we found Villa LuxL and would definitely recommend it to anybody looking for a fantastic family villa in Santorini. We would book to stay here again in a heartbeat!
