Truly an incredible property!
The photos are accurate, this is a strikingly beautiful home in the hillside. They clean the unit daily and supply fresh towels, restock the coffee, and there is even a cell phone provided so you can take it around town and call Greek numbers free of charge (reservations, taxis, etc). Communication with host/property managers was great the entire time. They even arranged transfers to and from the villa for us for a fair price.
It is about a 10 minute walk to where the late night bars are if you are looking for nightlife, and a 5 minute walk to the bus station. Countless bars and restaurants on the hillside are even closer. You are right in the middle of the hillside here, fantastic location.
There is a king bed in the master bedroom, a queen bed in the loft (beautiful, but open and not completely private from the living area), and a queen or full sized bed in the “cave room” as we were calling it. Noise wasn’t an issue as the walls are thick truly like a cave, but should be noted that the cave room doesn’t have a bedroom door, though the curved staircase up supplied enough privacy for us.
When the cruise ships drop off the tourists for the day, the foot traffic can get a little busy near the villa. This is the case during tourist season for all of Thira and Oia. That is the price you pay to stay at such a gorgeous location! Just be sure to keep the door to the patio closed or people will wander in. Also the wall from the path to the roof is only about 3 feet high, so don’t be surprised if you see/hear some tourists on the roof taking photos. We didn’t have any issues, but I think it is worth noting. Great people watching from the balcony :)
We had an incredible time and would stay here in a heartbeat!
