We had a great experience with Martine and Sebastian! They met us in the square at Emporio on the first day and walked us up to the villa through the beautiful streets of the town. The villa itself exceeded expectations - clean, cool and thoughtfully decorated. The outdoor terrace is a great spot for breakfast and the sun deck is gorgeous at both sunrise and sunset. To have such an expansive sea view was fantastic! Martine and Sebastian also left us great recommendations for where to eat and what to do nearby. Emporio feels local and secluded compared to Oia and Fira, but is also very well connected. We took the bus down to Perivolos to sit by the beach (5 mins) and even up to Oia for sunset (40 mins). After the bustle of Oia, returning to Emporio is incredibly relaxing, and there's plenty to do in the town itself - don't miss the castle next door to the villa and the cafe around the corner (great for Greek coffee and yogurt with honey, fruit and nuts). Martine and Sebastian were in touch with us throughout the stay and happy to help whenever we had questions. We'll definitely be back!
