Wow, a truly phenomenal airbnb that doubled as one of the very best travel experiences and favorite places that we have stayed at. This airbnb was so wonderful we almost didn't want to write a review to keep it all to ourselves for when we returned :)
We struggled to decide whether we wanted to splurge on one of Santorini's luxe hotels that we had heard so much about or stay at an airbnb, our usual favored accommodation. In the end, we really got the best of both worlds - warm hospitality and white glove service that made us feel like we had our own personal concierge. Alekos was truly wonderful to work with leading up to our trip, offering to help with travel arrangements (including finding us a seat at the best restaurants that were already packed) and always extremely responsive to help ease any concerns. Once there, Vasilis took such great care of us on site. He helped with any last minute arrangements/requests and often responded within a few minutes. We looked forward to Hitomi's bright smile when she delivered us breakfast with our favored caffeinated beverage every morning. The entire staff was so lovely from start to finish and made us feel at home (but even better!).
As for the property itself, it was extremely aesthetic with a luxe coastal farmhouse vibe that made us almost never want to leave. The best part was the balcony where we spent hours in the Jacuzzi enjoying sunrises, sunsets, and stargazing with ocean and caldera views. Well-situated right on the main pathway, but just far enough from the very center that we could escape from all the tourists into our own quiet oasis when we got overwhelmed by the crowds.
Thank you so much for being a highlight on our trip, we can't wait to come back to Santorini so we can stay here again!
