We booked another place (not Julia’s) to stay in Thira and upon arrival the AC didn’t work and the hot tub was cold. We were in Santorini for my birthday and our honeymoon. The night before my birthday my husband said “that’s enough... let’s just find another place to stay for the night” and we luckily found Julia’s place! I sent her a message asking what the hot tub temp was (weird to her I’m sure!) and she responded immediately. When we arrived the view of the ocean was beautiful and the hot tub was HOT. We slept the best we have slept since arriving in Santorini... even the overpriced boutique hotel we stayed in didn’t have A bed as comfortable. Julia is very kind and left a little sparkling wine and olive spread for our arrival.
My husband locked us out... leaving the key behind the door. We messaged her and she arrived in about 5 minutes and climbed to the back door to unlock and let us back in!!
We wished we had booked Julia’s place from the beginning of our trip. Everything was spotless and there was so much space. Even a laptop if we needed it!! The hot tub is hot... the bed is comfy.. and you about 5 minute walk to Firá center and there is a mini market less than a block away.
Yes- Santorini is known for the sunsets, but the hospitality and kindness of Julia trumped the sunset view we paid triple for. The view of the sunrise was equally as breathtaking!!
