Nothing but superlatives for the aesthetics of this place: The property itself is very charming & tastefully decorated, the view is worth every cent. It is also very well located: a little bit hard to reach if you are packing heavy bags (carriers can be arranged) but you'll be very glad with those few extra steps down those windy stairs for the isolation & quiet they provide you from the sunset hustle bustle of the main pathway above. I would recommend it to any couple looking to stay a few romantic nights in Oia if you take in the following considerations:

- Privacy is not always optimal, and you have quite a lot of contact with your direct neighbours on the shared balcony. This is not necessarily a problem though, in our case the friendly neighbours (from France and New Zealand respectively) proved to be both a welcome distraction for our kids and a good source of information on the island.

- During the high season, some parts of Santorini (including Oia) are very busy (overcrowded even) making it a bit like paradise and purgatory at the same time. If you are looking for peace & quiet, the tourist crowds (luckily well out of direct eyesight and earshot of your balcony!) awaiting you at the top of your climb to town can make the perfectly quaint & charming property feel a bit like a golden cage. The solution here: Why go out? Bring a good book and enjoy the view from your (almost) private balcony - it's one of the best on the island!

I'd like to close this review with a special recommendation for Andromahi: The hostess, although not at the island but continuously available by telephone/mail, was really véry helpful and considerate. She arranged everything remotely and was very attentive to our specific needs.
