In life, we far too often find that things that sound perfect must be too good to be true! How wrong we were with our stay at the Seahorse Residence. From the moment we began our journey to staying there, everything felt comfortable. The booking process, communications with Chantal, silly and odd requests handled with respect and a feeling of welcome.
However nothing prepared us for our arrival at the villa. After a long and tiring multi-stop trip from the States, we arrived in the late evening at the villa. The staff was there, waiting to greet us, get us settled in and provide us with nourishment…making us feel as if we had just arrived to our own home. When we awoke in the morning, everything that we had read; been told would happen; and we hoped was real…was indeed just that…absolutely real. Beyond real, it was magical.
Our guests came and went throughout the time we were at the villa and as each and every one of them arrived, their jaws dropped and their eyes popped wide open at the luxury and warmth this historical and unique home provided. We never had a worry in the world, every little detail was taken care of with a smile. Having a personally crafted breakfast each morning with a view that is nothing short of breath-taking is something we or our guests will never forget. The option to have two private chefs, whose food rivals any Michelin starred chef we have ever eaten; was the best choice we could have made. Why go out to a crowded restaurant, deal with tight table seating and other patrons, when each night we could have a personally designed meal served by chefs who love what they do…and with a view that would be coveted by anyone visiting Santorini.
To say our stay at the Seahorse Residence was magical is simply an understatement, but truthfully you cannot put into words how you feel while you are there. You only long to have the honor of returning again to this enchanted place.
‘Madame’ Chantal has created something so special and memorable. We are honored to have been her guests and look forward to visiting again next year!
