We had the pleasure of staying in the Astraea House for 4 nights. The house was absolutely stunning. Outside housed a Jacuzzi (not heated) and large open spaces to include sun loungers and padded seating areas as well as a large table that could seat 6 people comfortably.

The house sits right on the edge of the Caldera so nothing spoils your views. In front, the Ocean and Volcano, to the left Thira and to the right Oia - all visible from the house! Above and behind the house was the back of an old style church which seemed to be empty and was only visible from the upper floors. Below, a lovely boutique hotel - visible only hanging over the end of the balcony You can sunbath outside in complete privacy whilst taking in those breath taking views.

The location of the house was perfect for us. It was closer to Firostefani but still only a 10 minute walk along the caldera from Fira. We went to Santorini for the views and to relax so it was perfect for us.

Inside the house, it was surprisingly large - a large open living room leading to a kitchen that housed absolutely everything we needed to self cater for 4 nights. On the other side, stairs leading to the upper floor, a large bathroom, bedroom with ample storage for clothes and another bedroom towards the back of the house. Upstairs, another bathroom and bedroom which overlooked the inside floor below - An additional floor was above us but we only stayed in the bottom floor. A cleaner also came to clean the house every day.

Natalia was great at communicating with us - she met with us in the main square in Firostefani and brought us to the house. Even during our stay, she kept in touch with us and even checked in with us. She really went above and beyond our expectations to help us, offering advice for places to eat and even creating us itineraries during our stay. We couldn't fault the accommodation or our host. We both agree that the photos and even the description on the house do not do it justice!

Thank you very much for a truly amazing stay Natalia.
