Eleni and Costas were fantastic hosts. They gave us the perfect advice that made our holiday a great one.
As for the stunning retreat which is, 'The house of the Seven Ships', Eleni has restored this into a thing of beauty, sympathetic to the surroundings, rustic yet very functional. The little town is not facing the Caldera however I feel this adds to its appeal. Santorini is very touristic, people everywhere. Yet this little traditional village isn't.. It actually has locals living in it! ...however it is a stones throw to Oia's main attractions. Get a car, rent this place and take on board the hosts suggestions.
I would go back there in a heart beat.
