I normally have my assistant write my reviews as I am quite busy, but this particular review I had to write myself. If you look at my profile you will see I stay at the greatest properties all over the world very regularly. I also have had many listings myself on Airbnb. So I am very well versed in what to expect at rentals. This property and the owner absolutely blew me away.
The home was perfect and an oasis, you can see that from the photos. There are many beautiful oasis’s you can rent in Santorini though. What made this property so special and our stay so magical was the absolutely most beautiful human Rene and her father. I have never had a host be so thoughtful and helpful. It made me rethink how I manage my own properties. It put me to shame.
The owner asked what we were into and my assistant told her meditation was one think I loved. I arrived and there was Meditation area set up with pillows, candles, essential oils....I almost cried. The trip to Mykonos right before this one had been quite stressful so this thoughtful touch meant a lot. But not only this.
The kitchen was stocked with fruits and veggies and fresh bread, eggs, water, juice....all complimentary for us. Honestly, my husband is quite famous and he gets a lot of complimentary things, but he was not even in this trip. Also, what they did was far beyond what my husband gets most times. I felt totally held and cared for. But not only this.
The host sent a list of things specifically in response to what my assistant said we would like and the referrals were spot on. I could go on and on. Our car service canceled on us at the last minute and Rene saved the day within minutes by finding us a car when all the services we called were booked.
And I haven’t even begun to explain how beautiful the garden and house is. The garden has lavender and everything is just so clean and perfect. The gym is so perfect and the outdoor private courtyard was amazing for naked yoga. The pool was the most beautiful blue. The outdoor area was magic.
Ok and so why did her beautiful dad bring us fresh meat pies at checkout! They were amazing. We ate them on the way to the port and honestly the thoughtfulness just stuck with me. But not only all of these things.
Our boat didn’t leave until 7pm and the owner was so gracious to let us stay no issue and checkout at 6:30pm. That is absolutely unheard of.
I will 100000% only ever stay here when I come to Santorini. I love the town that is minutes away. It’s so perfect. And I adore Rene and her dad. Thank you both soul much.
