Stayed at the Emerald Villa for 2 nights. Very well maintained villa comprising of 2 bedrooms in the basement, a living room and bathroom on the ground floor and an additional limited-privacy bedroom on the loft/mezzanine floor with wooden ladder-like stairs from the living room.
Excellent amenities in terms of a big screen, wi-fi connected smart TV, Marshal speakers, a secluded hot tub in the front verandah, back patio with barbecue, comfortable beds, great cutlery and clean linen.
The resort being somewhat mid-way and mid-height between Oia Village and Amoundi Bay, has good views of the sunset but they do get obstructed by the overhead electrical wires etc. So the sunset view from the pool isn’t exactly unobtrusive.
They have a podium-sort of construction that starts at their entrance and juts out towards the bay, which does give much better view of the sunset. One can even walk down from there to the Kathros resturant which is right on the waterfront and serves only veg dishes.
Or the other option would be to walk up the adjoining hillock with a church, as someone has advised in earlier reviews, to have the best views of the sunset.
The resort is self-catered. So no room service and they have an arrangement to order food from a restaurant at Oia Village which is reasonably priced. Similarly one can also order in from the supermarket and cook up at the villa itself.
The two Pools are great and the two young ladies that manage the reception cum bar are extremely helpful.
Both Oia Village and Amoundi Bay are about 400-500 mtrs away by walk and the climb up from Resort to Oia and Amoundi to Resort is quite steep.
Overall excellent facilities, very well maintained and peaceful resort. Would definitely stay again.
