This is one of the best airbnb's I've stayed in. It is in a very peaceful location with breath-taking views of the Caldera literally opposite the main hotel. There's a well-stocked small supermarket with an ATM a 100 yards away, along with a bus stop for getting to Fira etc. It is also very easy to walk from here to the ancient pre-historic settlement of Akrotiri - approx a mile - and to the Aegean coast and beaches. It's also got the massive advantage of being just a short walk to the only beach on the Caldera side - a beautifully quiet and uncrowded beach with gorgeous views of the Caldera. Our airbnb was spotlessly clean, well-equipped and just a 30 second walk to get in to the fantastic pool & having our own little outside area was lovely as a place to read & relax. The poolside bar has a brilliant choice of expertly made cocktails and a great food menu - we sampled a lot of both the cocktails, wines and delicious food (all in the name of research of course!).
Maria, Dora, Katerlina and all the staff were absolutely exceptional: nothing was too much trouble - they efficiently and happily organised our car hire, a boat trip to the thermal springs and transport to the renown Good Heart restaurant. They recommended things to see and do and were happy to help in any way possible; they are a wonderfully warm and welcoming team and we really enjoyed getting to know them as much as discovering Santorini. All in all, we can't wait to return next year and cannot recommend this airbnb highly enough - it is fabulous.
