If you are considering staying here, don’t think just BOOK IT! I could write a novel about how fantastic our stay was here.
First, Iliou should win an award for best host on Airbnb. She is very communicative, thoughtful and generous in everything she does. From start to finish, she booked our airport transfer and car rental for us, and even had our car waiting at the villa when we arrived. She delivered delicious breakfast every morning and when asked where we could do laundry, she insisted she wash and dry our clothes for us at her home (then she even folded our delicates!!!) On top of that, she cleaned the villa daily, something most hosts don’t offer. The level of hospitality is above and beyond. The world doesn’t deserve the fabulous Iliou.
In addition, the villa was just beautifully decorated in traditional and modern Greek style with locally made decorations. My husband unfortunately was sick during our time here, but we didn’t mind spending time in bed at the villa because it had everything: a view, a pool, lounge chairs, and glorious A/C.
Plus, Pyrgos is THE BEST place to stay in Santorini. It is barely touched by tourists, has the most incredible restaurants, breathtaking views, and is just a quick 15-25 min drive to visit the major towns. Only 10 min to wineries and sandy beaches.
We are forever grateful for our time spent at Iliou’s villa and suggest anyone who is lucky enough to find availability to book it immediately.
