The villa is phenomenal!! After much researching before we booked it - this was by far the best, most luxurious option, and it lived up to every bit of the photos and more.
Good things to know: it was serviced each day, and light groceries were provided and also replenished daily. The bedrooms are downstairs with the hot tubs and hammam, and the living quarters, kitchen and pool are upstairs. The pool was cold given it was October, and it’s very windy but still great. Hot tubs were warmer, and the hammam was a neat feature and very relaxing. We got a massage with Thira Form (see the brochure at the villa), and they came out to the villa for the service. Definitely recommend! A rental car is needed if you stay here in Akrotiri. This area is calm and relaxing, which is what we wanted - but know that it’s further away from the hustle of the towns (Thira/Fira - about 20 min drive) and Oia (about 40 min drive).
The views are incredible! There are many spots and plenty of furniture to sit outside and enjoy the breathtaking scenes. There’s a great local market (Faros market) that you can walk to from the villa - be sure to meet Maria and her lovely family. You’re near the lighthouse and other yummy, local taverns. There’s a beach with a walking path (steep with switchbacks) also near the villa.
Pavlovs was promptly communicative, which made the stay even smoother. We were very satisfied with our entire experience and will absolutely stay here again during our next time in Santorini! I don’t think this villa can be topped!!
