Our stay at the Rock Villas was the best, The comfort and beauty of the villa in Emporia made everyone in our group of seven women, there to celebrate a birthday, happy and very pleased that this lovely home was our base for the days we were in Santorini. Be aware when looking at the number of bedrooms that one is completely separate from the others with it's own entrance and bathroom. In our case it left the person who took that room a little disconnected from the rest of the group. If the manager, Vera, recommends anything I would suggest that you take her advice and do it. She has great connections with those who can offer you adventures to enhance your trip. The bus stop is a very short walk from the villa and because the streets are so narrow and transport was easy to get through Vera I would say that it would be foolish to rent a car and I am thrilled that we did not. Every restaurant which was suggested was outstanding so there was little need for us to do any cooking besides breakfast and truthfully the kitchens are not set up to do much more than light meals although there is plenty of glassware for all the wonderful white wine grown on Santorini to be enjoyed. I highly recommend the Rock Villas Complex.
