Beautiful place to stay. As you can tell by the pictures, the view is out of this world! I would definitely recommend eating / sitting poolside to enjoy the peacefulness of this area. It was tranquil sitting outside and watching the sunrise or sunset from the balcony.
Panos as a host is amazing! He was very responsive and catered to our every request. He even arranged for us to be picked up at the port as we arrived. In retrospect we probably could've taken bus to save money had we not had rolling luggage- Renas is located on a hill.
The location is great. Right outside of the Fira town center (10-15 minute walking), so you escape the crowd and noise. There was a mini market that's a 1 minute walk away that had everything we needed. The bus stop is in the town center and takes you directly to all the popular destinations like the airport and Oia.
My only complaints about our stay:
-There was some confusion at the front desk. The gentleman that checked us in told us breakfast was not complimentary, but as we were checking out (and tried to pay for breakfast) the gentleman at the front desk told us it was complimentary. Would be great to know ahead of time what was correct. We could've saved some money and less time rushing by eating at Renas each morning. With that said, breakfast is definitely worth it (10 euros) for a nice selection of greek breakfast foods. You can't really beat that price considering most places don't open for breakfast in Fira.
-house keeping opened all our windows and moved our stuff around. I'm very particular about where I lay out my stuff so as you can imagine that inconvenienced me. Leaving the windows opened caused a lot of bugs to come in... so we ended up with several bug bites after our last night there.
Overall I would recommend this place. It's beautiful and worth it for the value! Panos is a great host and made sure we were taken care of.
