The Painters House sets the bar for an Airbnb. The service was first class from the moment we booked the property with hosts offering good communication ahead of our check-in and accommodating us with a airport transfer. During our stay the host offered services on par with a hotel replacing towels, pool clean and light cleans each day.
The Painters House itself did not disappoint and we felt it didn’t do its self justice with photos. It was so much better in person offering a unique stay that was well laid out and with loads of character. The roof deck was a personal highlight and can offer a great sunrise and space to catch the sun all day. It’s also over looked but toilet paper flushable toilets in the property was also great addition – most of the island doesn’t support this.
The house is well situated and offers great amenities nearby. Being in Thera it is also well connected to the rest of the island and our host was gracious enough to give us a small walking tour of some key landmarks and recommendations. They also provided a super recommendations and house rules document before arrival.
Only small word of warning. The cave bedroom in the court yard has steep uneven steps. If you have any physical ailments then it may be a struggle but the other two en-suite rooms are much friendlier.
Overall, the Painters House was above and beyond and for the amount of space and service provided singularly to your group for the cost, it makes it a no brainer between a choice of here or a hotel.
