We were travelling as a family of 4 from Thailand, our children are 7 & 9. We spent 3 nights in Santorini as part of our 2 week Athens-Crete-Santorini-Mykonos trip this summer.

Yiannis was responsive and helpful from the moment we made the booking for Lava House (perfect for 2 adults and 2 young children) which forms part of a larger cluster of villas knows as Villa Ariadni in Oia. The setting is superb, smack in the middle of the stunning sunset view over Amoudi Bay, just steps away from the main walking street of Oia where all the lovely shops and dining are located, yet beautifully peaceful and private.

The room was spacious enough and filled with natural light. The aircon disturbing works well and we enjoyed our little kitchen and good shower in the bathroom, though we dined out most of the time. We made breakfast on our incredible terrace every morning and I did yoga facing the ocean! The kids enjoyed walking down to Amoudi Bay for fresh seafood lunch and riding the donkeys back up. There is also a great public pool/bar with a view just 5 minutes walk from the villa. We booked an afternoon catamaran sunset cruise which was well worth it (there were about 20 people on the boat besides us but it didn't feel crowded and was really fun and relaxed great food amazing crew Sunset Oia).

Yiannis himself came by to make sure we were enjoying our stay but the real highlight was the amazing manager, Marius, who met us off from the taxi, wheeled our heavy cases down the streets to our villa and gave us every bit of information we required, even booking the cruise, several dinners and making some fantastic recommendations. We are a family of hoteliers in the business for 30 years, so trust us when we say Marius is a gem!

It was lovely to have daily maid service too having lived in 3 other AirBnBs before that didn't, it gave me a much needed break from tidying up towards the end of our Greece trip!

We will highly recommend Lava House at Ariadni Villas in Oia to anyone, book it, you won't be disappointed!
