An extremely authentic way to visit Santorini. The house is amongst only a handful of other homes right on the water's edge. During the day, you can walk straight into the water off the porch or relax on a lounge chair on the porch and watch yachts come into the Armeni Bay. The home comes equipped with kayaks which were great to explore the area in the calm waters around Armeni Bay.
The home itself was well equipped with all the expected amenities like towels, sheets, kitchen equipment, etc. The beds were comfortable and the breeze throughout the house was fantastic. We did not need the air conditioning even though it is there of wanted.
There are two ways out of the bay. You can go up the 265 steps (by your self or by donkey. There is also a boat running between Armeni to Ammoudi Bay (when available). Neither is perfect but neither a huge deterrent and was well worth it to get such a private and authentic stay on an otherwise touristic and crowded island. Oia is there anytime you want it but you can leave it behind and relax at this home.
Lastly, from check in to check out, the hosts (Nicoletta, Alexandra and Christina) were exceptional. Attentive, knowledgeable and friendly.
Loved our stay in Santorini!!!
