This is a dream villa and I couldn't recommend it highly enough. You always hope the property will be better than the photos and that is exactly what we found with this villa. From the moment we passed through the main gate of Villa Karterados and walked into an oasis of trees and flowers we realized we had made the right choice. The house was super comfortable with lots of space spread out for many guests — the rooms are set up so there’s also lots of privacy even with a big group (we were 8). The most special part is the pool and cabana area. The comfort, ease and gorgeous views meant we spent most of our time in that area — and barely needed to leave the villa!
As wonderful as the property is, the real crowning jewel is Eugenia and her staff. She made everything happen seamlessly, even before we arrived in Santorini. She helped organize transfers and groceries. She helped direct deliveries and services to the villa. She was unflappable even with some of our last minute requests. She made this trip a true vacation and I am not only incredibly impressed but deeply grateful.
The one note I would share in terms of the location: it isn't in a spot that is walkable to stores or restaurants. But that shouldn't dissuade visitors. You can either rent a car or call for taxis (again Eugenia assists with this) to give you access to the towns and sites. And being separate from the throngs of tourists was a plus for my family so again, this location was a bonus.
This was a fabulous find for my family and I would return to Villa Karterados in a heart beat.
