This apartment was sooooo much lovelier than we expected! We stayed for a week in Giorgio and Laprini’s beautiful place and had such a great time. The space itself is really stylish and the perfect size for a couple - and really good value. But it’s the terrace that totally makes it - with a view of the sea and islands opposite - we had a wonderful breakfast out there every morning. It’s not a view of the caldera - but we had a wonderful sunset view as well so stayed in for a couple of nights too - and because it’s right outside the door of the apartment it’s very much your own terrace and not shared.
Lamprini was always on hand if we needed any help but you easily felt you were staying in a totally separate place despite sharing a main entrance. She also met us and checked us in even though we arrived at midnight - and had left us breakfast for our first morning.
The village of Finikia is also really lovely and we had a couple of nights out at an amazing restaurant called lefkes - which was easily our best and cheapest meal!
Oia is also really close and a nice walking distance - although you do need a car to explore the island - which is stunning. We did the walk from Oia to Fira as well which was definitely one of our highlights. All in all we had a really wonderful time and we would highly recommend staying in this apartment.
