We can't imagine a better stay in Fira than The Painter's House! It is impecibly and lovingly appointed down to every small detail (loofas in the bathrooms, beach towels, spotlessly clean, lovely furnishings, kitchen and laundry have everything you would need...the list goes on!) If you visit Santorini, staying in a cave house is a must-do and this one is beautiful. It is in a great location--a quiet neighborhood, but a very short walk to the restaurants, bakeries, cafes, bars, and shops in the town center of Fira. Fotis and Ian were fabulously warm and helpful hosts (in fact, Fotis is still helping us find a phone lost somewhere in Santorini even after we have left the island!) They recommended the best local restaurnants and things to do, made reservations for us, and were always available to answer questions and help in any way. We slept like babies in the cool, quiet cave house so we were always well-rested for the many activities we did (hike from Fira to Oia, scuba, sailing trip, dinner theater per Fotis' suggestion, shopping, running, visiting ruins...) Thank you Fotis and Ian for making our visit to Santorini so very enjoyable--we hope to return very soon!
