Kostas and Grigoris were absolutely amazing hosts, probably the most friendly and helpful ones I’ve had using Airbnb. They would support with transfers and also helped to order catering for a hen party which we had in the Villa. I couldn’t fault them at all. Grigoris actually lives in the top half of the Villa that you see in the photos.
The villa itself is absolutely stunning and nice and quiet, was very clean on arrival too. Unfortunately during our stay the en-suite shower temperature was not working as it was scolding hot and wouldn’t change - this meant 4 people all using the bathroom which was a handheld shower head. The Wi-Fi was also up and down but we weren’t using often so wasn’t too big a deal.
The location is nice and quiet and about a 30 min walk to imerovigli - the walk is all uphill and quite a workout! Beautiful walk but be prepared to be a sweaty mess at the end of it on a hot day haha. To get to Thira, you can get a bus from imerovigli but the times we were going there was for events (wedding/hen party etc) and so we paid for taxis to avoid the uphill walk (taxis were €30 one way for only 10 mins up the road). The bus to Oia is inexpensive and the bus stop is not far from Villa however on the way back the bus only goes to Thira and then you have to get another bus back to imerovigli, so again this meant we had to pay taxi fares (€30 again for 10 min drive). There is no shop nearby so we also had to pay €60/70 for taxi to take us to Thera for a shopping to wait for us and return. I think if you want to stay here, you really need to drive and hire a car to get around for ease as we spent a fortune on taxi fares.
Overall lovely stay though and would highly recommend for those with cars or those who do not need to get into Thera/Oia often during trip as we did for events or who don’t mind walking by foot a lot and getting several buses.
