Amazing, Gorgeous, Spectacular!!!
I cannot thank Rena and her staff enough for the unforgettable experience that our family had at Ampelia House in Oia. Of course, it has a lot to do with the excellence and professionalism with which she runs her apartments.
The check-in experience was excellent. Rena arranged for our transfer from the airport and had our bags carried to the cave house. She greeted us with open arms and lots of hospitality. From the delicious cake, wine, coffee and breakfast items like toast, jelly and butter, Rena thought of all the little things, like providing flip flops, bathrobes, even a converter!! for the outlet in case you don't have one. The list of things goes on and on…..
In addition to a very clean and beautiful house she provided lots of recommendation for places to eat, shop and things to do. The property has a lot of character. It is well maintained and gorgeous, there is ample space outside to relax and take in the view. Nicoletta comes by every day to clean, change towels, and make sure the house is great, she is also fantastic and very kind. The view is definitely the icing on the cake, absolutely stunning!!. In addition, the animals complete the Santorini experience--they are very friendly and sweet, if you love animals you will definitely be in heaven (like us), but if you don't, they are very obedient and will likely not bother you.
Rena's hospitality goes way beyond a traditional host, besides providing a wonderful house and experience, she was kind enough to offer us a different property to go on our leaving day when we told her that our flight out of Santorini was late at night. She did not have to do this as our check out time was supposed to be in the morning, but she is so committed to make your stay unforgettable that without any hesitation she transferred us to another of her houses as she was receiving new guests on Ampelia on that day.
We had such a wonderful experience that we are already planning our comeback!!!
