Boy did we enjoy our stay in Santorini at this palace. We were a group of 6 friends traveling from the States and Marianna was amazing from the beginning. She kindly arranged transport from the ferry (you must do this if arriving via ferry) as the cab line was about 80 people deep and it was pandemonium to Firastefani, which is about 3 minutes from the house. We met Marianna and her dog Bingo and she had a porter take all of our luggage to the house. Again, amazing since everything is steps and cobblestones. She provided a great overview/tour of the house and then arranged the following activities for us: private driver to do a tour of the island + stops at cool places; caldera yachting sunset cruise etc. The house is to die for and we didn't want for anything. There was a ton of space/rooms for all of us to spread out and the outdoor space is perfect for sunning and having a bevvy and watching the sunset. The house is so centrally located that you can either walk north to Oia or south to Fira. Just amazing and the perfect holiday!!!!
