After being ripped off by a rude taxi driver who did not find the location, we arrived annoyed at our hotel. But John's Marias, his mother and his girlfriend, were so lovely and welcoming, we completely forgot our trouble. They were the kindest people on whole Santorini. Maria jun. speaks Russian, English, Italian etc. and John's mum speaks some English and French. Maria sen. made us the best greek coffee and was the most welcoming person! She took care of my bouquet, watered and wrapped it (we married a few days before). Maria jun. made telephone calls for our wedding pictures to be delivered and was so helpful. We were staying in a 5*hotel before but Maria's breakfast was ten times better: perfect omlette, yoghurt with rose jam, fresh pastries etc ... Last but not least they have the cutest dog, little Bella, which is more a cat than a dog :-). The room was clean, bed was fine (I tend to have back issues easily but slept comfortably) The porch is very nice to sit outside and you are in the very center.
Oia is nice, but the best thing there are the people at MaryLouJohnVillas. We highly recommend this nice family as hosts!
