From the initial enquiry to Stavroula about renting this villa to our being picked up by Panagiotis and taken to the villa to meet Yiota, the manager, everything was a seamless experience. And, soon after we settled in, a sublime one too.
The villa is light and bright and modern, comfortable and well equipped. Particularly striking touches were the lighting in the bedrooms and outside areas; the Korres products in the bathrooms; the ice tea upon arrival, a big bowl of luscious fresh fruit, a bottle of delicious local white wine, six bottles of mineral water; and the use of a Greek cell phone and the instruction to call Yiota day or night with any problems or queries. The pool is heated so swimming at night was terrifically pleasant.
Maro cleaned beautifully and despite our not being able to communicate very effectively with her considering our Greek vocabulary consists of about ten words, her loveliness shone through.
The villa is a hop, skip and jump from the central town bit of Kamari and next door to a very authentic men's card-playing club which looked (and was later confirmed for me by locals) quintessentially Greek.
Stavroula responded in lightning fast time whenever I contacted her and was exceedingly courteous and accommodating throughout. And Yiota, who was there to greet us on arrival and came to see us off when we left, was too charming for words and nothing was too much trouble. She recommended a bunch of restaurants and one of them proved to be not only the best meal we had during our two-week stay in Greece, but possibly one of the best meals of our lives!
For a couple of friends or a couple of couples, I can't recommend this place enough. After staying in multiple hotels for the rest of our time in Santorini (which has its own charms), we loved the experience of feeling like proper Santorinians with our own pad to call home.
