My husband and Ihad an unforgetable stay in Santorini thanks to Makis' place, his fast and friendly communication throughtout the entire process, his flexibility and helpful advice as well as Katerina's welcoming tips and support.
The pictures portray the house precisely, yet it is difficult to get a good grasp of how it is until you are there.
As many other guests have pointed out, Santorini is over saturated with tourism. It was a relief and a delight to "arrive home" after a day of exploring the island, at this picturesque, authentic and well renovated house at one of the highest points in Emporio. We enjoyed lovely sunsets over a glass of wine at the fantastic terrace, away from the crowds and the noise. Late at night, we loved our star-gazing that transported us to the ancient greek culture.
We also enjoyed the nearby restaurant and cafe. Even going down the charming streets of this secluded part of the town to get groceries was fun, provided we did it when the heat was at its low.
It is amazing how cool it feels inside the house while the blazing sun is unbearable outside thanks to the ingenious construction and natural ventilation system it has.
One consideration to keep in mind for taller guests is the low height of the bathroom, both to enter and to shower. One has to be creative to make it functional, but it was not a major problem for us.
Thank you Makis and Katerina for making our first experience in Santorini a wonderful one.
I recommend this house without hesitation.
