It’s on Airbnb but it’s like a boutique hotel. Amazing is the best way to describe this place. From the port, Gyota is there to pick you up and take you to your stay. Trust me, you will want the private or semiprivate transfer as it is hectic at the port and honestly with the amount of people you will want to just get into a car and go!
When you arrive, you enter through the back, which has parking available if you want a car. If you are just staying in Oia you won’t need a car, but it’s small and gets very busy so you may want to explore the island. We visited Imerovigli, m’égalachoir and Pyrgos as well as Perissa beach. All lovely places to explore. Perissa beach has everything you need (food,sun beds and laundry). No laundry in Oia.
Back to the room. It’s two lovely bedrooms and two bathrooms with a big shower and a small living area. But you won’t ever use the couch as the patio has the perfect view. Trust me- walk from the bottom to the top of Oia and everyone will be taking pictures at the view you get to wake up to every day!
The stay included cleaning service everyday- new towels, garbage and water.
They give you a bottle of wine and the best part is breakfast. They cater breakfast from a local spot called the Yard. Fantastic selection, quality food and more than you can eat! Fresh squeezed orange juice!
The unit has a nespresso machine, kettle, fridge and dishes/glasses/cutlery- just no sink. But the cleaner cleaned our dishes.
A sink would be ideal, but you will probably wander around for lunch and dinner so it’s not an issue at all.
Did I mention the rooftop view- yep, you can see two vantage points- basically a 360 view up there.
Sunset- here’s the deal- you can see the sun go down almost completely from the roof, partially blocked by a church- blue dome, however there are endless views of the orange and pink sky at sunset. And endless and direct caldera views.
You also have two entrances- the back which I mentioned and then the steps to the main path—- when I saw main path I mean you open the gate and you join the crowds.
Great food all over the place, just book this place now. Worth every penny!
