We very much enjoyed this Airbnb for our group of 11 adults who were vacationing together. The fact that the entire villa was split into several connected subunits connected by lockable doors gave us a degree of privacy that we weren’t necessarily expecting, but was nice to have.
The property itself is beautiful, updated, and well kept. The location was nice as well; it was in a more quiet part of Santorini away from the tourist-overrun areas of Oia and Thira. The bill is next to a quaint little cafe serving gelato and espressos which was amazing to have in the mornings. There was also a late night street food restaurant adjacent to it as well that served phenomenal and very cheap souvlaki and gyros.
Overall, we were very satisfied with our stay. Our liaison for the property, Yiota, was a big help in organizing transfers to and from the airport as well as setting us up with a private catamaran cruise for our group.
For the money you’re paying, it’s well worth it if you’re going with a large group like we did.
My one major complaint, and the only reason why this property didn’t get the full five stars, was that we felt mislead about the hot tubs that were so prominently featured on the listing. Yes these are three hot tubs… but they don’t get warm. At least by American standards. We measured the temperature with a thermometer at 29c/84f. We were hoping for at least 100f so we could enjoy them when the nights became cool and breezy in Santorini. It was too cold to enjoy, so no one ended up using them for our entire stay. Had we known this, we would have probably chosen another property to stay at. Don’t try to change the temperature either. We got in a bit of trouble with the property owner because of it. There were no rules regarding changing the temperature written anywhere in the property or when we signed the agreement either, which I admit was quite frustrating. The AC didn’t seem to be super effective either… so for those that need very cold AC, you might want to look elsewhere.
All in all, it was a nice stay.
