There are so many great things to say about staying at Ida and Chris's villa.
It's a beautiful "Oasis like" retreat - a secret gated paradise off the beaten track in the middle of a very traditional / authentic Greek village / town. As such it offers the peace and tranquility of being "off the beaten track" and yet you can get into Fira easily by bus (5 minutes ride) and Oia takes about half an hour (2 buses). Locally there are a handful of supermarkets and restaurants. We found Mike's restaurant, recommended by previous guests, and so we tried there. We were not disappointed..! A very welcoming Mike and great food at very reasonable prices.
Ida is the perfect host. A very warm and friendly welcome awaits you, and from then on Ida is on hand if you need help. It was lovely to see Ida every morning as she visits the villas to clean and tend to the common areas and the pool. By the end of the holiday we felt like we had made a new friend. She is passionate about providing a great space for guests.
I can't recommend this villa and the host highly enough! If you are looking for a quiet relaxing stay or if you want to be out and about exploring the island - this provides a great base to do either.
