Alex's cottage was absolutely perfect for us! We had a large party of 10 including 4 children (aged 5-15) and 6 adults (aged 38-70). The cottage had everything we needed (including a fantastic pool!). The location was secluded and rustic (almost like what you would expect from a lake house or cabin in the US) but still close to Oia (some of the best shops, restaurants and sites on the island) as well as Fira (the largest city on the island). Most importantly, you could not have a better host. Alex was wonderful!! He checked on us daily, helped to arrange restaurant reservations and excursions, and just made sure we were well cared for. This was a trip of a lifetime for our family and Alex made it possible. We are grateful!!
