THIS IS THE PLACE TO STAY IN SANTORINI!! People literally queue up for hours for this view!!! BOOK IT NOW!! You won’t regret it! Every day here was like being in a dream…
Mary’s place is the most magical astonishing place I have ever stayed in! We stayed in the Vinsanto suite which I think had the nicest, roomiest terrace but Each property has its own unspoilt view of the blue domes and the location in Oía could not be more perfect.
The cave house was clean, excellent facilities and they kindly had left us some of the local wine and other supplies when we arrived. Mary and Stammos are the kindest, most helpful hosts - they have the warm Greek Spirit and were so lovely. Breakfast was delivered everyday and was so generous and delicious it stretched over for our lunch!
Sat on the terrace watching the ladies in the massive flying dresses and brides& grooms having their photos taken by the blue domes is bewildering and bonkers, but great people watching! You also do not have anyone else ruining the view as the sunset crowds are well away from Marys houses, so it’s a really quiet peaceful spot and was heaven on earth to wake up to every morning.
The shared cave pool was also a great way to cool down after sightseeing and as it’s shared with only 4 other rooms you usually have it to yourself (not worth paying extra for your own tiny one in another property). Each terrace is actually quite private too with no other properties in front of you.
If you are in doubt where to stay (esp as there’s lots of cleverly edited photos on other properties which don’t show your neighbours crammed in next to you!!) just book this place. I cannot recommend it enough. The value for money was well worth it and end of September is a great time to go as it’s still warm and the sunsets are spectacular- although the sunrise was the most beautiful as the colours are stunning.
Thank you Mary and Stammos- you are very special people and will always be in our hearts. This property was a Bucket List place and full of the Love and Greek hospitality that makes the unique Santorini spirit. Efharistoh para poli xx
