We booked this villa with short notice right before peak season, so we wondered what it would be like staying 3km from the hub of Fira (Hotel Atlantis). The house is only a year old and the host Andreas was absolutely on top of every question and message including our requests prior to arrival.
Location: It seems a bit remote when you arrive, but that’s what makes it great and it’s less than a 7min drive to the stores and caldera.
Amenities: It’s close to 3500sq ft and the house is spacious and spread out on one floor to give everyone their space, while providing everything you need. Full dining table, huge TV in the living room with a large couch, one of the best kitchens we’ve had in a BnB with everything you need, amazing architecture in classic Santorini style with cement everywhere and great A/C. The pool has 6 lounge chairs and by itself gives a very resort feeling, truly built to accommodate a large family to have fun.
Wifi: Good enough for the area, coverage in all rooms about 3.5mb d/l speeds and a bit slower in the room deep into the back of the house.
Pool: Infinity edge pool, 5ft deep by the waterfall sloping down to 2.5 ft at the end. Nice and clean water serviced weekly, the pool was a hit with all 5 of us.
View: It’s on a curvy street away from the tourist noise, so you look out at a few other houses which is perfect.
I would absolutely book this again as it can sleep up to 8 using the bed configurations and wall couches in one of the bedrooms, it has a private gate for the property and private parking right outside the gate. This was a big hit on our trip.
