Firstly, the check in experience is faultless. We used their offer of a pick up from the airport which was €30. A Mercedes Vito which was luxurious and clean took us to the villa where we were met by a gentleman who let us in the villa.
He instructed us to text a lady called Catherine who then called just 10 minutes later to show us around the villa, how everything worked and then spent as much time with us as we needed, taking us through the island, it’s nightlife, trips, walks, etc. She kindly offered her services as a concierge/assistant during our stay, offering any information, reservations, recommendations etc that we may need. Please use her. She is so knowledgable and ensured our time on the island was well spent .
The villa is beautiful. Incredibly clean, everything you need including good WiFi (good enough for streaming), hairdryer, Nespresso machine, kettle, a good sized fridge and so on.
Two good sized bedrooms which both open up onto the terrace.
Breakfast is delivered to the villa every morning. It is very nice however it does get repetitive as it’s an omelette, bread, pastry’s, yoghurt and orange juice every morning. Maybe something to mix it up a little would be good but there’s no doubt, it’s quality.
The terrace is a lot bigger than it looks on the pictures and we spend most of our time out there. Do note however it isn’t as private as the pictures look. To the right there are two villas which terraces can see into yours. I guess for Santorini that is fairly private.
Imerovigli is a 10 minute uphill walk away which includes a handful of nice cafes, restaurants and mini markets. Oia is a 15 minute bus ride away (the stop is right outside the villa) and Fira is 10 minutes the opposite direction but we used taxis to get there as no busses pass heading that direction. (Taxis are not cheap! Around €15 to Fira and €25 to Oia. They can be easily flagged down on the road outside the villa)
The views are breathtaking from the hot tub. It’s worth getting some food and drink in and spending a night watching the sunset from the villa. Heading to Oia is a must for sunset. Again, Catherine will recommend the best spots to head to.
Amazing property. Thanks so much and a special mention to Catherine. She really is a huge help and she’s on hand 24/7 for anything you might need.
